your own factors behind an investment

[RandyGamage]

First I consider the real world value of this project. then I check the team behind it. then I consider the community behind that particular project.

[Strufmbae]

Investments puts my money into a situational risk, so if ever i want to invest i will make sure that my money will be refunded if the company/project/ICO, fail or will be postponed.
these are the things i want to consider the most,  i don't care to what kind of platform do the dev/staffs/owner,  has, because for sure if an investment is landed to where would it actually be, then profits are sure win. 
Support is the best factor; trusted and legit are best option.

P. S.
I voted the none of the above.

[LogitechMouse]

Maybe you are pertaining to an ICO. I'm not an investor myself but I can site some factors that I know.

1. Hype - this is the top factor that most people is following. If the project has high hype, their is a chance that the ICO will finish the crowdsale in hours or days only.

2. Technology - What is its technology?? How can the project benefit the people and etc.

3. Team - Are they showing theirselves in public?? Are they not hiding something? The team itself is one of the core factors before you invest.

Maybe there are some more

In investment here in crypto i always buy the already trusted here like btc,eth,ltc and bch then more after i earn in that i will spend it in different gambling site and ICO is the last option because there's a lot here but very risky not like other so for this is the recommended to do another thing i only spend a little money

same here . i do only invest on the coins that you'v mentioned above because i feel safe if i know that my investments are already known to be legit because they are already existed for years . spending a little is also what im doing because i cannot afford to loose big even if i already know that my investments are solid because there is still a chance that they cannot give you a sustainable profit for a longer time and i also need some cash on a certain basis , thats why i dont have a choice to sell my holdings if  i badly need the money .

what interest me is the capital behind the project because if theres no capital most likely you will lose your investment.

[swiggyboo]

of course a good investor will first do its own research (whitepaper, roadmap and etc), besides that what is your biggest motivation?

the risk just like gambling,the adrenaline rush knowing you took great risk and ending up a winner! with lots of profit showing big value in your investment.

[Sadlife]

For me the most important thing in investing into an ICO project or any platform is transparency of the people behind it. If the CEO exist, if there is a good team of devs or not and if there are other physical investment that company has in real estate, gold or has bank assets. If all that information is legit then why hesitate to invest.

I’m not going to lie, whenever I’m checking all these I first of all check who they are partnering with, that first will tell me whether they are legit or not, cause I prefer to go for those that are partnering with big names. Apart from that, the next thing I do is check their team, but before I do that I might have first done a research with Google and check what people has to say about it through the reviews I’m seeing online.

You’re right. Capital is very important though that is not something I would like to check first, I would rather check the team behind the project and their partnerships with other people, individuals and companies and if those are the big names, then I’m okay. But you know what? This topic just don’t make sense, cause you can’t just check one thing and leave the rest lol. You must check every thing about that particular project to be sure it’s legit. So all of them are very important.

[zcooipo]

Most of my investment may change for a number of reasons, but most of the investment is to invest with friends around me!

[crzy]

of course a good investor will first do its own research (whitepaper, roadmap and etc), besides that what is your biggest motivation?

I think every of these options you gave are very important and should be checked for sure. The number as the first comment said should be the team that is behind the project, and I think when the term ‘Team’ is mentioned it has to do with the partnerships and the individuals behind the project, especially the big names.

When there is a good partnership then you don’t have to worry about the capital that is being used to fund the project cause everything is going to be just fine as long as they have a good team and investors.

Everything you must consider when investing in any ICO so you can make sure to be in a good project but some ICO even they got all your criteria they still failed on their project. Most of the success ICO right now are below their ICO price, so I think its quiet risky to invest on the ICO since the market is dump try to analyze the market and think twice before you invest.

Question:   what is a main  factor between these that motivate you to invest into a project ?
 BIG name investors
 partnerships
 Capital behind project
 news outlets coverage
 none of the above

I usually look who are the "Partners in business" of that specific crypto project. Simple, if that project has or have a lot of good partners... it means that project is trusted by those who already existed business and it is no joke at all. It's not easy to have a partners that will support all the plan of a newly created project. How much more if that partner is a big one?

[FreeOxen]

Even if big name investors and capital manage to get into a project it doesn't always mean it is legit - sometimes it is still one big scam or the team running the project is just not very good. I think it is the things like the vision, the purpose, the team, the finances, possible outcomes and opportunities, the costs involved, the technology that are probably more important. The financials is so hard to find about projects cause it is generally opaque, no-one opens the books up.

Factors may be a relatively easy way to help your investment performance. Here I outline how factors have gained attention over time, which factors tend to work, and the tests used to determine if a factor should be implemented in a portfolio.

[antsam]

I think what needs to be added is the team from the project, aka the people behind the project, whether they have experience and also what needs to be considered is whether the project advisor has a good track record

[audaciousbeing]

of course a good investor will first do its own research (whitepaper, roadmap and etc), besides that what is your biggest motivation?

Everyone have different motivation when it comes to taking investment decision. I have seen a project launched on the forum with a scandalous team member but still came out as a success because the focus was on the project rather than one of the team member.

As a motivation factor for me, the rally point is more of the people behind the project as more often than not, the success of every project is largely dependent of this factor. A good team will come up with workable idea other than imaginations without any iota of implementation. Its along the line that they would then discover the project is no longer viable which gives them the only option to bolt.

A good team would plan implementations and phases to the delight of the investors and would be committed to seeing it happen. In a case of tenable unforeseen circumstances they communicate effectively to their investors with an active community managers ready to engage and answer various questions in due time. For projects like this, even though the beginning might be tough, I tend to be more calm with them long-term than others.

[lienfaye]

Use case is one of the important factors that most of the investors are forgetting.

Indeed, the use of the token or the services they offered is one of the important factor to see if their project will going to succeed or will last long.

Before investing I usually check the website, the team ( a reputable member in the team with a background of past successful project is an edge for me and I consider as plus factor ), roadmap and their whitepaper to have an idea how genuine they are. I also read some reviews from other users especially in this forum that can help me to decide if the project is worth investing or not.

[ToniJu]

I think the news media is the main factor in determining my investment project, but I will not easily believe in some news media. I will judge the authenticity of the news through various analysis!

[Marcel666]

I consider a variety of factors when selecting an investment venture.
The team behind the project.
The product
The process.
The hype (publicity)

And one important factor us timing.
Do you buy during the ICO, or on an exchange?
You need a perfect symmetry to get the best possible outcome.

I usually focus on the project leaders who will decide the success of the project you are investing in. For experienced CEOs and a professional management team they will know how to create communities and proper PR strategies that can attract the attention of the community. This will make the project more successful in the future.

Thats a very good point right there. Partnership is one of the most important factor to look on during investment decision. Of course we look for a well-knowned and succesful people or company behind the new ICO project, this will determine the capability of such project to become succesful in the near future. But, still, that doesnt eliminate the possibility of failure.
