Which information you look at when researching a new investment?

[voly]

It's obvious that I should research each coin I'm planning on investing in, but as I am just a newbie and there are tons of relevent coins to look at (not to mention the whole crypto world and tech that I should catch up to) I want to devise a system so I won't get cluttered with less relevent info (which is bascally a huge excel table containing all the relevent data).
So my question is which information do you look into when searching a new coin, and which info is more relevent for later comparison between coins?

P.S
I'll gladly take research sources if you have something specific to mention.

The most important thing that you need to know it's legit or not and based on this alone we can see the difference between real and not is based on their graphic,icon.
Do a research if you think they have a good design,a lot of project out there using a low design to run their project.if you think about it logically,will it be a legit project and will it be successfull in the future if they can not hire a decent designer ?
Then find the most well known project,because they can spend a lot of money to promote their project.

Never believe what they say to you,like $10 millions in a day or something like that,do your own calculation and think about it logically.do not rely on their sales or fund.

Rely on their support,vision and mission.
The longer ICOs start,the better it would be.because they will make a lot of preparation to run it successfully.

There already has been countless posts about the same topic here on bitcointalk. I suggest taking a look at them and read the post replies.

What do YOU look for when investing into and ICO?
How do *you* decide what is a good investment?
How do you decide which ICO to invest in?
Red flags for me not to invest into ICO

If you are starting to try to look at some of your experienced colleagues in the forum, some good mechanics. In your place, I would not put too much initial capital, I would look at an interesting project and make some new acquaintances. On this forum you will surely succeed.

There are some posts like this on forum, just find them and make yourself a list and try to find best options with it, here is example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1936484.0

[sammyp]

also look at the amount of that particular coin in distribution and advice yourself logically

Here are some of my criteria,:

For old coins or those who are playing in the exchanges for long time now, basically Im looking at how their volume were performing throughout their journey in the crypto world. Will take note of their ATH , price dip and some other factors as part of refences.

For incoming project or ICO, though this is not an assurance, Im looking at their Media exposure and doing some regular meetups and seminars around the world. Because of that activity, Im seeing them as serious in the development as they also doing efforts to spread the news around the world and just don't relied on bounties or airdrops.

Investment is really always at risk and we can't avoid facing it. What we must think is to study those risks and think of a plan to how to deal with it.

yes it is always better to consult with the experienced users in the forum and should start with little capital and use the core profit to reinvest and repeat the procedure and also need to be updated with every news and changes about the investment.

No fluff, more stuff.  Best to look at there github repo and check if they are technically sound.

[Zicadis]

I basically use a few pointers before picking out a new crypto investment
-Is the project under an established company? If yes that makes my decision much easier as such dont struggle to find their market.
-I also consider how unique the project is because atm we have too many in the same field which makes it difficult to compete and succeed.

[msemenov]

I mainly look for these things.

1st: Is there a product? Did they already present a working prototype?

2nd: Dev team. Even if they don't have a product, you can assure the team has skills to built it. Take a look on their previous projects.

3rd: Business team. Do they know how to run a business? How they would sell? What is the fin model?

4th: The project itself. Do you understand what is their project, besides a beautiful website and an all-star team? Read the whitepaper carefully. If you cannot understand what they are selling, chances are they won't be able to explain this to the rest of the world.

What always make me confident in a new investment is when the person running the campaign is reputable. There's a lot of campaign managers that doesn't accept a bounty job if the project is more likely a scam. They are  very helpful by just doing that.

[machinek20]

First of all find the campaign is legit or not, you need to look for the coin developer reputation, check the offcial website, where does the server created and other information, search for the whitepaper and how do they advertise their coin, it is really important to search as detail as possible, if you are not sure then stay away from it

[hodler1293]

invest in projects that actually have working products, don't let them sell a dream no more.

It is best to find a situation in which we have given some information and details from what we will try to devote our time.

I was a big fun of red pulse but by now its too sad. At that moment I invested into Confideal. it has being rated 4.8/5 by the experts of ICObench, this puts Confideal at the TOP-8 (out of 600+) ICOs

[Boseda]

I think there 3 main things to look at:

1. Project. Is it a viable project? Dies it have a future? Does it need blockchain to get through? Do they provide at least a beta version (or MVP) of their product/service or they just talk, talk, talk?
2. Team. IS the prject run by a skilled team? What did they do before this project? Even if they are not experienced (e.g they are young people) do they respond to any doubt and explain things in a clear and understandable way?
3. Marketing. Does the company have a clear marketing strategy? Are they active on social media/youtube/reddit/bitcointalk, etc.?

If everything looks fine, you can think about doing an investment in such companies. But always keep in mind this is a risky business and there are many legit project which turn out to be bad investments and instead useless crap which achieve high price on exchanges. Also, keep in mind the classic rule of investing only what you can afford to lose.

The team, the concept and if there is a real product behind it, the community and media exposure.

[Williamsss]

1- Team would come first. Look up the team and see if they are reputable.
2- Project utility. Is it a new concept? Does it solve any digital or real world issue?
3- Development and team activity. Try to see for how long the project is running and what they have accomplished, are they slow? Fast? Updates with frequency?
4- Marketing efforts. Do they have a strategy to promote the project? Because in this days marketing is almost everything on a project.
5- Community. Does it have a big community?

A project that currently checks all the boxes for me its Deeponion, phenomenal development team, actvity and community.

I think number 2 is the most to consider if you want to invest to ICO...
Unique, and usefull to the society will make the project survive in the community and then the team can develop it into something bigger in the future..

A lot of ICO didn't have this point, they just wanna sell coin for profit, while society doesn't need and get benefit from the project, such project will collapse for sure and I'm sure you don't wanna invest on this ~
