what should consider before investing in a coin?

[harizen]

Participation in ICO or investment at pre-ICO stage is a very risky step. Its just like purchasing a shop on 40th floor and the ground floor of that shopping mall is just start to build.
There are so many ideas/concepts is trying to prevail in the market but is there any formula to separate strong project from scams/weak projects.

Which scale should an investor use to go before investing in a coin? Is it the code, or the system it based, or their community strength, or is it depends on their venture capital that how much big it is?

So basically you are considering those coins that will be put on ICO? To answer the question directly, it will depend on how far your analyzation about the said project will goes.Almost all projects have a good roadmap and future plans but the question here is, are those plans will be really implemented and follow in the future? At most of the cases, if ICO didn't reached their expected target of funding, the development will soon stop. And sometimes, even some of the projects reached their target and able to build a good community, still their plans takes times to execute and the worst, developments will just stopped without a trace. That's how risky participating in an ICO.

So what to do now? My suggestion is to disregard investing on those coins via ICO but to consider putting time to learn how to choose a good altcoins that already in the market and can ride the current market behaviour. Will not mentioned any of those altcoins since we might have different handling them.

That will be your homework for now. Well then at the end of the day, you are the only one who can think of a way how to deal with your concern.

If you're investing in a coin at ICO stage, then you really need to consider a whole lot of things and also have it at the back of your mind that its like a gamble. First, the utility of the token and if it really has a real world application and usage, secondly, the team, if any thing seems fishy about them, then that's a big red flag.

I think if I want to invest in the ICO, I will do after the ICO finish because right now, we know that when the ICO was finishing, the price will drop too deep and that is our chance to buy as much as we want. And if the token price can increase, then I am sure we can make a lot of profit, but it doesn't mean that every ICO can do this because it only works for some ICO.

Right now, it's too risky to invest in the ICO if the ICO has not finished because like I said before when it's finished, the price will get dump because every participant will sell their token and that will trigger the price to down too deep.

in my opinion the most important thing before making an investment is seeing product. because if ICO without having a product it is very worrying and besides the product you also have to see team and whitepaper

product didnt be guarantee that these ico will success in market.usually investors trying to find projects that their product could give them earning profit weekly or  monthly and also could be implemented in real life.without both of them these token or coins become useless.to many project that have same concept.

Before investing at ICO look detail how their website secure, safe or not. Many ICO website looking not secure and make investor always afraid for investing at their ICO, you have double check how trust owner and team at their ICO.

web security didnt main factor for ico analizing.there are many factor that more important, such as what its the purpose ico builded, and how they will build it.any many other factors.

if I myself have to consider the risks and benefits, because the risk is very important for us to know. so it's very important to consider if you want to invest

[ufaiz50]

there are many things that must be considered to put your money on ICO investments that are very risky, one of the risks is project scam, so you have to look at the developer's track record and who is involved in the project, I suggest to consider a project that collaborates or have partners with famous people and have good popularity among investors.

[wahyu wida]

if I myself have to consider the risks and benefits, because the risk is very important for us to know. so it's very important to consider if you want to invest

right, by knowing the risks, we will be better prepared to face something we don't want. because many traders only imagine the benefits they will get, and that results in their psychology being disrupted

I always consider the potential of a specific cryptocurrency for me to know if it worth it to buy or not. I do not just invest my money because I know that there is high possibility that I can lose it. I studying the background and the history of the coin before I buy it.

It is important that we'll have enough knowledge about the coin that we are investing with. We should do series of research to get rid of regrets in the future. We should invest in coins with good potential because we'll get a greater chance of having a better profit through it.

And when researching about a coin,i think the most salient aspect that should be put into extreme consideration is the management team,the backbone behind the project,you have to be sure it's a legitimate one with an immaculate track record.
Reviews are also important to note if they've had and undergone favorable dealings in the past
Before putting a cent in an ICO project a whole lot of homework must be done because they most often manifest as scams
Investing in the bitcoin is by far a safer and saner option

[Bosx1ne]

For me, we should consider the team behind the project before making investment. The coin should have solid team for us to ensure that we can gain income from our investment. There are many scammers in the market,  so it is better if we will review the team behind the coin.

investing in ICO will be more risky than buying coins in an exchange. because you still have a risk of scam from that project.
You have to do research on all existing instruments such as roadmap, whitepaper, specifications, team and so on

I agree.Before knowing the coin itself,we should consider first the team that is supporting the coin.We should always have a lot of resources so we can end up a satisfying result on our studies.If the team has a great history,then surely the coin itself has great potentials too not just at the present but even in the years to come.

The number one thing to consider is how big the coin is.

I know some people prefer to invest into stuff that is small so they can make bigger profit when it gets high but when you invest into something looking at the price you are bound to be sad.

I have seen people investing into reddcoin or doge or stuff like that because the price is "low" in satoshi and easier to go higher however they forgot to check the marketcap and the marketcap usually shows why the price is low since the number of coins is insanely high.

There are people investing into stuff like swisscoin because its "just one satoshi, with 2 satoshi I can make double my investment" whereas coin just gets destroyed and you can lose that 1 satoshi as well. I mean what you should do instead is to divide your investments into multiple coins like bitcoin-ethereum-ripple-dash and so forth to make sure you won't lose all of your investment.

I think everything is like a gamble since you are going to risk something for the outcome but sometimes the outcome doesn't come as you have expected. Well, if the project, the team, or the developer are really honest to their self then they could just make a good project which is supported by millions of fans and investors but the way i see it today is totally different than in previous years.

Today is like they're killing the ICO era and changing it to a new scamming era which is so rampant that even if you do red tag them, it won't stop them as long as they get the profit. They were making the investors go extinct for the future other projects which makes me sad.

The real things that I considered to invest in a certain coin is when I know that it hasn't pumped yet and would also see if that coin has a potential to pump in the future.

Of course all people do think like this that they invest in a coin which is high in potential and people are certain about the future. Best choose is to purchase a coin in right time as I’m time of dip or fallen price so that later on it will be very high and holding will end up making huge profit for you.

And how do you do that? Because, you can't just random pick the coins because they are big projects which is definitely not only the factor to pick which coins should you invest.
It's easier to said than done.
