Altcoin and investment

[unsquidly]

I also considered mining, which could also be considered as an investment, but is usually controlled by ones with the highest hash rate, and hence seems like the need of having a large number of computing units (cpu,gpu,asics) to be successful.

read whitepaper about altcoin and analyse it. If you think that you have a great chance to invest, do it. If you think that this isn't the time, so don't invest. But be careful, don't do stupid moves

I select a certain coin and I watch results of the project during certain time.  In this case I also monitor dynamics of the price by means of https://coinmarketcap.com/   and if I see that the price fell to a minimum and the project has good potential, then I make the decision on purchase of this coin. I think this strategy is optimal in the cryptocurrency market.

There are over 1300 altcoins available. We consider Bitcoin as the main cryptocurrency - being the first coin. Other coins/tokens are referred to as altcoins.  Investing in altcoins can be In various terms, but basically day trading or buy and hold. Indept information is required on the choice of coin for either of the categories. A brand new coin with prospects can have over 400% increase from the ICO/inclusions in an exchange. Investment at this stage will yield massive profit. However,  such profit may not be found for first 20 coins on coinmarketcap - coins can increase but not to such extent due to already saturated volume, among other reasons. Basically,  some research is important before investing.

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.

Personally I think that invest in an unknown coin is like betting in a casino, because it is not possible to predict the prospects for the growth of this coin - people who adhere to such a strategy simply go for a conscious risk.

Investment is a risky business, as all forms of business, but I would recommend Rolecoin by Steamrole. Its a solid invest

This isn't really true, when a coin gets to a certain point it isn't really controlled by the developers anymore. I think you mean supply inflate or deflate?

When a coin launches it will have a set distribution model written into the chain by code. Say 5 coins per block from block 1-500 then 10 coins per block from 500-50000 (just as an example)

Now that version of the chain (and wallet ect) will be up on github, if the devs just out of nowhere wanted to change those numbers they would have to modify the code and put up a new release, after that its up to the community if they want to download that new release with updated code.

If a majority of the community does not update then that original blockchain would remain ongoing with the original code.

This is why you hear the statement "The strongest chain will win", developers only have control to a certain extent, they need the community to be in consensus (agreement) with them to push their releases. This is a big reason why forks happen.

Hope this helps, good luck.

The most important of all the aspects are the developers even if in paper different projects may seem similar to each other if one project has dedicated developers and the other doesn't, then the project that has the best developers is going to become a successful coin and give you profits while the second is going to disappear soon after its creation.

You can still mine some altcoins if you have a higher hash rate miner but it all depends on all of your expenses in the current and the total rate that your miner can give to you. But since the difficulty level is raising it must be harder and harder for someone to mine when he got too small altcoin(s) to mine. So it could be better if you must have invested in an altcoins rather than mining, you could do some trading while investing on altcoins. Just fill your portfolio with all of the good altcoins that has a potential to grow in the future.

Yes, thanks for the clarification

True, although not all coins' devs decide to reveal their information; and I assume a motivated one can go to great lengths to present dev profiles and commits to the core - till release and/or to interact. My point is although the presentation and at face value we might see many devs, how can be sure of the verify of this information?

I also considered mining, which could also be considered as an investment, but is usually controlled by ones with the highest hash rate, and hence seems like the need of having a large number of computing units (cpu,gpu,asics) to be successful.

Yeah I'm mining for fun, but I'm mostly out of the hashrate race; especially with the new ASICs coming out every other month for new algos, GPU mining is not a profitable option.

In any case, before investing money in the project, you need to study it well. Check the team, site, hardcap, softcap, witelist. B thoroughly studying this, only after that to enter the project.

For beginners it must work hard, active in the forum and learn more about the ins and outs as well as all the features that exist in this forum,
if you want to invest in an ICO project you have to be brave to accept the risks if it is not what you want but to be able to predict which projects are good you can see from the vision of the mission, the manager, the team and the project's roadmap and all that you have to learn first in order to avoid from a scam ico project.

In short, you should really be sensible on all sorts of things and be responsible on the things should be done by an investors and not just carelessly making any decisions without any valid basis or just pure speculation or guess because most likely this will really lead into loss of money.Every investment do have corresponding risk and you should embrace that stuff when you decide to go along or making investment.

I can recommend matchico.com and desearch.com for those who deal with crypto. I've been using it lately and it helped me much.

Few thing that i usually will do:
- read white paper
- find out whether there is any real usage for the coin
- who is the team member

For you can check the price history and marketplace movement alone mate. if you see the good growth on the market and volume is better you may choose the any one among that to invest mate. You do not to dig their whitepaper after listed on the exchanges.
That is not actually for investing on altcoins.
If you wish to invest on any ICO projects you can boldly go to check the white paper and team information to confirm the project legitimacy.

[Andri ansah]

I think alcoin investment is currently profitable and good for investment because its future can give brightness in our life, chances are that will come in the next few years alcoin potency to be a good coin is expensive.

Altcoin assets is much bankable whether you apprehend to secure elsewhere the peril below on it and diverse dealers came recognised on that big of assets since they research

[SergeyGvo]

Visa, the largest banks and financiers such as Bafet, like fire are afraid of cue and crypts in general, because they can lose hundreds of billions. And it is because of them that we see such a low cue rate now. But their goal is to make the price so that the mining becomes unprofitable. And now think, who has more financial power - from Bitmark or Visa? I'm afraid the next few months will be a nightmare with the course.
