Are those legitimate? (early stage coins/tokens)

[ChrisBell]

Dear Bitcoin-Community,

I have joined your platform to ask you about a few early stage coins or developments. I obviously like to know about early investment opportunities, but I am also interested in new development that could have the potential to disrupt industries.

Let me go with those:

1. elta.io (https://elta.io/)
2. topl (https://topl.co/)
3. 3DP (https://3dp-token.com/)

Some require a little background search, but topl looks quite interesting.
What do you think about them? How do you research early stage coins? Any suggestions?

What are your (initial) impressions then? Did you research them yourself? It would be great if you'd give us your thoughts on those projects, otherwise, it could be seen as cheap "advertisement" aka click bait.

The best way to research such projects is to get every info first hand, if possible. So join their Slack channels, telegram groups or discord. Visit their pages and research the team members. It's a lot of work but if you're interested to invest money this should be no problem.

There are also several threads that go explain some research methods and respective KPIs of projects.

For early investors it's hard to know if the project is real and have a potential to grow in the future and I think it's the best if you monitor them first try to find their announcement thread here in the forum then check if there are some trusted high-rank members who trust this project and check them if the developer is well-known here in the forum because some well-known devs here their project is in a good ranking in CMC like verge(XVG), so check their official thread can help you know if the project and devs are real.

And I suggest you invest in the right time than investing too early if you research first about this project you can decrease the risk of losing your investment.

Use this site https://coinmarketcal.com you can check if some project here if it is a fake project or not with proof and source.

Why did you choose exactly this 3 projects? Did you read their whitepapers? If not, this would be the first thing to do to get as much information as possible about the projects and which problems they are trying to solve.

Do a lot of research before investment is always important. If you find it hard to trust, maybe it's not a good idea to invest.

Actually you don't need to research a lot on lots of projects because many are scam you can see, just focus on few known early projects. Don't spend time with hopeless ones.

Yes indeed - I have met the founders of elta.io and tople in Amsterdam. Judging by impression, both founders had a clear vision and were able to defend some of the 'bottlenecks' in their infrastructure.
I have read the whitepaper of tople and made notes on the elta presentation (no whitepaper released yet). Both aim to utilize the broad public to shift the value-chain for investment-decisions and public works. They both seem to try to provide a great social infrastructure and they both have quite conservative profit motives. (low or no-fee)

I just wanted to know if somebody already heard of those - Generally, I have a little less trust in projects that spent a ton of money on advertisement and features within the first stages of going public.
