Altcoin and investment

[Ido_Liberdy]

hi.

the most important thing in my view is to explore a bit about the people that are involved in the project. you should check up on them and make sure that they are legit.

then i'll recommend reading the white paper- and try to figure out what's the project is about.

also check out the road map of the project and the cap (hard/soft) and of course your own thoughts of the concept and it's implementation possibilities...

There is no guarantee that a new coin will be successful in the future, and will also show a good profit. Investors can only assume that this or that coin will be successful in the future, because many factors influence this.

[grumpy619]

Before to decide invest or not - im making the following: go to the site and  do research on product , development team, advisors. If the project seemed  interesting i move on. I read whitepaper, hard and softcap, distribution of raised funds in the future, roadmap. And one important moment - for me is good sigh if unsold tokens are planned to be burned,  this increases the value of the token.

Being a newbie, I'm looking for a good direction on learning about the markets and trading. How would you decide which ICO to invest in? Cryptocurrency is too volatile, but so there is still many people who go into investment that goes even in the newest coins which are similar (not same) in the functionality that they offer (e.g. anonymity). What is the possibility on any of these coins (or digital currency in general) being successful (or profitable)? I'm also not clear on how does the value of coin inflate or deflate; especially when the flow is controlled by the developers?

tl;dr Any resources or pointers on the topic are appreciated.

This is the question that cant really be answered by anyone. No person can predict for a certain project that do make ICO that they would able to succeed. I do agree on the fact that most of them do really have the same concepts all over again. Price movement? Depends on hype and people do mostly aim on making money not totally concern for long term except for those project which are unique or do have potential.

Investing or joining in a project is too risky, so you better check it first before joining investing.
You have read all the information about that project, like its white paper road map and etc. And always check the backgrounds of the dev or manager, or sometimes join in a project with trusted dev or manager because some of their project are very successful.

[Virtonomics]

VICoin token is now in the most priveleged state.

VICoin (utility token) is doing the Pre-ICO right now.
Here is a short explanatory video of the project https://youtu.be/TQ0cMPWgb00
VICoin is a promising token, as the project is working for already more than 10 years. One of the strongest advantages of the project is the team itself; people that have been working with each other for many years. This is a positive way to distinguish VICoin from any other ICO projects. The overall concept of the project is also very interesting and not like most of the existing ICOs.
Overall, Virtonomics introduces cryptocurrency of a new job market in alternative economy!
VIRTONOMICS is an ecosystem that can meet the needs of millions of people in an affordable, interesting, creative, well-paid online job, that's why this ICO is worth while paying attention to!

Pick an ICO, research the project behind it and see if you like what's there.

Take VLB for example, one of my favorites.

- a clear purpose for blockchian and the coin
- people from IBM and Masterchain among the advisors
- low cap

These are my general points whenever I chose a project to invest in.

[Babyjamz3026]

Choosing potential ICO is not that simple to do because we cannot determine what is the best ICO and all we only have is a guess and speculations. But at least we check its popularity in the telegram and some of good ICO also are being published in the social media.  You must to check also if they have a whitepaper and website.

You might have a point in this matter, finding a good ico you must check first the whitepaper, the team behind it, the campaign managers reputations and the developer must be active most of the time on the telegram, Facebook and twitter. So if they are all active as the said above it means that project is good and legit.

Firstly, decide on what is your personal objective and how much time you have for cryptos. You most likely cannot do all the thing you have stated in your post.

Well, i am a newbie too in this cryptocurrentcy world. For me, before i am going to decide on which ICO i want to invest, there are some questions that i ask myself for the projects, such as :
1. Does this ICO has a great founder with succesful background?
2. Who are the team and the advisors, are they great and has a potential background?
3. Does this ICO have a lot of great partnerships?
4. How about the softcap and hardcap, is it realistic?
5. Does this ICO has a working product right now?
This 5 things is the factors that decide the most for the projects to be successful. And projects like VLB made me answer yes for this 5 questions.

[yojodojo21]

Well you should end these wandering of yours im giving you a good example of a full package Project, If you have heard about VLB, they are now on their presale and soon to reach their ICO.This Project is realistic its VLB token will be use as a utility token, if we say utility means it is used based on a real situation and in the real world, actually if you will get to take time to read their whitepaper you will be clarified to it. Visit their site and review http://vlb.io/

For choosing a potential ICO is not that simple because we can not determine the best ICO and all we have is guesswork and speculation. But at least we check whether they have a document and a white website.

Yes buddy. But we can choose the best potential by researching around this forum. Before investing the money i usually check below link. This will help me to give some ideas about the best ICO. I hope this will help you too. check this out.

I suggest you check the white paper, road map, development team members and escrow for distribution to understand whether it is a potential project or not.

[cryptorobbo]

So many ICOs, they appear almost every day. It is impossible to research everything on the market.
I think it make sense to chose from the most shilled ones. If people speak about some certain ICOs (at twitter or FB) write the names down and DYOR. After while it's gonna be a list of 10-20 icos and then it will be good to choose the proper one.
As well I think it is important to have a good list of them, because now even if You are whitelisted and gonna try to participate at the exact beginning of crowd-sale, its not the fact that You succeed. The most popular ICOs finish in 1 hour and there is a huge traffic on the servers so a lot of people stay aside.

[dulari1]

there is saying first impression is the last impression ,
so 1st of all if project looks dummy from its appearance and name then ignore it ,

then look at team profile and their experience ,

after that you should read whitepaper 2 times to understand project better .

also see reviews by crypto experts .

collect as much info as you can

As crypto currencies is known in being so unpredictable and very volatile it is really difficult to assess which coin can probably become a good investment and will succeed in value appreciation. What investors do here is they first read and understand what's the project is all about, if it is interesting to have or there is a potential that it will hit the market, then investors take a risk and invest.

Actually there are some alternative investment coins outside Bitcoin which I predict its value will skyrocket in 2018.
Ethereum is the third largest coin in the world after Bitcoin and Ripple. Initially Ethereum had to sit in second position until the end of December yesterday. Unfortunately Ripple managed to lead the position Ethereum.

The investment in altcoin always brings a lot of profit to investors in this cryptocurrency market. But because so many new altcoin is born so the choice of some good altcoin to invest becomes quite difficult. Be serious with your investment to be successful in this market.
