What are your strategies to identify the best crypto investments?

[Astrilian]

Recently Tai Lopez invited the top investors in his house to discuss the best strategies for investing in crypto currencies.
Among them was David Levine who shared his methodology how to find coins with the highest value to hold long term.

Here are some parameters he uses to determine where to invest in:

Has the project already launched vs in Development?
Is it a platform or just a pure coin?
Could it become a commodity?
Who are the founders and lead developers?
Even if the business case is great, will the coin itself have value?

Apparently the guy is very successful with a proven track record since the early days of the internet.

What are your tactics and strategies to identify the best coins to go after?

I carefully read their whitepaper to really understand their business concept and how serious are they in achieve their goal. I look for technical details, check how active they are on Github and pay attention to their roadmap to know where they currently are and if they're truly following it. It's very important to check if they have some business prototype already working. I also notice who are each member of the team what they currently
 do and their previous achievements, 'cause this shows transparency and credibility to that team. If the ICO doesn't have a good UI on their website or doesn't have social media like Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, or if the team members doesn't communicate with the public I just run away.

A lot of people invest in ICOs without reading a simple Whitepaper or don't follow the development of the project. If I don't fall in love with the concept of an ICO I just don't invest. I care about my money

You have to follow influential people on Twitter.  Developers, investors, executives at big companies.  They often give very good clues about where the next big wave is going to come from.

Good advice + Youtube (for example this Swedish guy "Ivan on Tech", very knowledgeable).
I am myself very careful with the hype surrounding specific coins. But there are some great projects even on this forum, Stamps platform for instance looks very promising.

For me its about who people behind it and what others says about it, plus the c
vision specially when it is first time interning in the market to know if it is near in reality. It is also good to follow the advice of others here of all they already mentioned and you will be on the right path.

What do you mean by "c vision"? Plz don't tell me you're referring this project C thing:
http://projectc.io

Dude, look at their website, it's visually just terrible! How can they possibly develop a better thing (the C project) if they can't develop (or pay someone to) a UI friendly website? Just save your money for a better project and happy 2018.

I made it 3-words into your post and I have to tell you to be careful with the path your brain is on. I can appreciate you trying to take notes from people that have made money in the past, especially when they seem relevant and informed. Tai Lopez, you have to take everything this man says with a grain of salt, especially when it involves him in any way.

Tai Lopez has made a lot of money, but a lot of his money has been made by convincing people that he can teach them how to make money. Do you see how this is quite circular? He's by no means altruistic, and that isn't a bad thing innately, but you have to realize that if he's going to be helping you in any capacity that it is helping him more than it is helping you. If you can come to terms with the fact that you're playing a pawn in his game, then feel free, but do not think that he is offering you a spot on equal footing or even offering an equally beneficial situation.

That being said, I have watched hours of Tai Lopez, because he does have good philosophies and ways of looking at things. You can learn a lot about how to look at things, what to look for, but I beg you to not treat this man as an exaggerated genius. Do not throw money at his classes or programs, you need to think for yourself when it comes to your money. Nobody can create a future for you, but many will say they will if only you throw them some money.

My strategy has remained the same, invest and hold bitcoin; if you see other investment opportunities that fund something which feels an actually need in the market, for security, convenience, safety, efficacy or anything else significant.

My best strategy? long research on the internet, the team, the project but also the community. for example that of redpulse is great, a lot of owner, never panic sell and the price only goes up.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I was also a bit skeptic wether Tai Lopez is really motivated by helping others to achieve what he achieved or rather just to monetize his audience. You have to to give him credit that he is brilliant in marketing.

For his Crypto Mastermind course he was flying in what he calls the big players in Crypto, people who made billions, and boiled down their insights so viewers can get some ideas or even strategies to identify their top crypto investments.

I have not signed up for the course as it is more intended for beginners and I am afraid I will get bored with all the 101 on Crypto. Therefore I started the thread to see if some more people would share their insights regarding crypto investments.
