what should consider before investing in a coin?

[Xxmodded]

I think there are many things to consider before we invest in an ICO project. first of course we have to look at whitepapers, technology and coin platforms. then we see the development team then the trading volume and liquidity. how much profit we want to achieve and how much capital we will use to buy coins.
if an op is new to the crypto market it is better to invest in old coins like bitcoin, litecoin and binance. I think this will be safer than investing in an ICO project that is very risky.

I am not looking with whitepaper, technology adopting by project but looking for how much their coin sold during ICO open to public, if pass one week without raise soft cap I think retired and never joined for investing with this ICO, I think most important whit how much coin sold before I invest with some altcoin or ICO project because without interested by investor I can't trust with ICOs.

The whitepaper is just one tool of decoration, most of the team were just paying for a whitepaper, so I really don't believe in it at all. Just using this as a guide if ever they can be able to achieve it or is that they know what's really written in the whitepaper. So for me, this is not the basis but how they keep their words and promises.

For me even if you are on the 40th floor if your product is really profitable and will help me in the day to day activities I will go to buy your product. It's the same with choosing coins that have real use cases that help crypto world to develop, and also unique products that will help you make a good profit in the future.

Yes, it is very important for us to use worthy coin and before investing our money we should see if the coin is good or not. We should check the potential and past of that coin. For making an investment it’s important to choose well-trusted coin only and work while you have money. A coin must have a strong future and it must have a good number of investors.

Before you invest in a coin, you should consider the fundamental data that are available in the internet so you can easily evaluate the project or the coin if it is worth it to invest long term. Technical data from the charts are also essential because that is where you will base your entry and possibly exit point if you decided to get in.

the fundamentals in a project must be good, don't let you choose the wrong one,
but fortunately we can get help from coinmarketcap, I think the top 100 can be for investing in the mid term or long term

Well coinmarketcap is a prime tool for tracking hundreds of cryptocurrencies to know its current price but then there's a gap with its time pricing, I'm not just sure how long it is. Investing on a coin seems to be harder these days as the market behaves so unpredictable due to large numbers of investor and traders now. It will not take you to a half or a 100th coin in the market , there are already coins that is worth to invest in the top10 or 20s.

It will be difficult to try to invest in new projects nowadays because fifty percent of these new projects are scams? While the other fifty percent is unsuccessful due to not reaching the soft and hardcap of the project, that is why it will be worth for investment if you just invest the half of your money to bitcoin and the other half is to try to invest in top altcoins in the market like ETH, XRP, BNB, BCH, LTC, etc because you will definitely get or earned a good profit.

Before investing with some coin I am looking for how long their coin sale take time, I never invest with ICO project on pre ICO because have waiting too long to get back our money if their ICO not failed on the middle way, best opportunities investing at the end of ICO project although without get bonus I think not have to wait for long time until coin can sell on exchange market.

Oh so you are just participating in an ICO just so you could just sell it right away if the price had exceeded the price you had brought it. Isn’t what commonly happens is that it would not immediately exceed it but most of the time it won’t also without the bonuses that you get when you purchase earlier on then your chances of getting back your investment would be very slim if you think about it so I don’t think that your way is very effective though if you think about it there’s a high chance that the project would proceed since you can inspect whether the ICO is successful or not.

choose coins that have a real product and are needed by many people, so that the coins will last a long time and always expand. therefore do not be mistaken to analyze, so that our funds are not lost. the easiest is to choose coins at the top, where the quality has been tested, making it safe for long-term investment

For me I look at their transparency first so I can see that they are willing to go into prison in case their project becomes a scam later.

And of course one of the things I look at before investing is whether their product is unique and whether their marketing strategy really influences them to attract investors.

Initially, you need to carefully consider the project itself, because only its real demand in society can attract more investors and become a very profitable investment.  To date, there are a lot of projects on the cryptocurrency market that have not implemented even half of what the team announced.  It should be borne in mind that no one is returning investor funds either, because everyone is talking about the poor state of the market and future prospects.  It is very difficult to say something about whether it will be possible to hold developers accountable in case of failure, because you still need to have evidence to accuse them of fraud.

There is no way to be sure that the investment will bring value to users because look at the reviews for the previous IEO, ICO. They all look good and have apps, but they're all garbage now. Currently our market is being manipulated in an uncontrolled way so let's stop thinking of finding a perfect crypto to invest because the meaning of the standards is relative.

yes off course the topmost coin is always very good to invest in it, and that coins are very trusted because a lot of people have invested in it and that is why they are at the top. And I think the most important is the self research about the coin and also one should check the reviews of people about the coin in which he is intending to invest.

With the news about the fake volume listing of some exchange site and the previous fake data which the capital market was accused of a couple of years back, you're still among those that still believe every listed on the top 10 or 20 to be invested/supported by a lot of people?
You need to be more careful.

And I think the most important is the self research about the coin and also one should check the reviews of people about the coin in which he is intending to invest.

Self-research is still better but people reviews about coins can be misleading.

There are many things for you to consider before joining or investing in a particular campaign or project. The first thing you must do is to study the project itself and gain every information you needed for you to trust that particular project, you can actually get that information in their whitepaper wherein almost all of their plans are stated there. You can also look at the other, what I mean is that look also for the reviews of other investors if that particular project is really legit and can be a source of profit. You can also check their website and look for the team. Especially the managers who run the project.

Why mind investing in ICO which has an uncertain future if there are already existing stable coins in the market? For me, ICOs are no longer profitable plus the risk you will take upon this is not worth of your money and time ~ change my mind.

So for my answer on this question, the thing which I look at before I invest on a certain coin is its stability, reputation and most importantly, price of course. For this reason, I only stick to btc and alts like xrp, bch and eth.

nothing is really stable in crypto let alone bitcoin and ETH, all fluctuations and risks, when investing in crypto, the greatest capital is being able to accept the risk of loss because the greater the risk we take, the greater the benefits gained.

Yeah I know , I know that every single coin in the market is naturally volatile, what I actually mean in the word "stability" is that bitcoin got more stable price rate compare to new tokens which are greatly manipulated by the whales who hoard during its ICO. In simple words, btc is more stable than those Pump&Dump coins. I hope you now get what I mean.

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?

I will look at the problem that ICO is trying to solve. Most ICOs are just making up problems that don't exist in the first place and their so-called solutions are also not working lol. Avoid ICOs or any other token selling at all costs. Look how many ICOs team are gone after fundraising. It's all a scam.

If you want to invest in crypto, choose Bitcoin instead.

All are available and give good opinions to consider before investing in coins or projects, and smart investors will learn to trust your own instincts and if it looks like a risky and doubtful investment will definitely leave it.
You must position yourself to achieve success and determine your own determination, so you must be a smart investor to avoid fraud.

I want to add to all of the above that it is important to understand that even after calculating all the risks, you can still lose your money, so do not invest all your money, be prudent, and then everything will be fine!

[qiwoman2]

There are too many deciding factors to take in consideration when one is doing any kind of due diligence. I at least from experience can say one thing. Now I don't trust FUD or FOMO for any project and also what goes on in telegram groups, unless it comes form official announcements form the project Teams themselves. I like to see how well the Team communicate with their investors, how much capital the team itself is willing to put up at the start of their project, if the project has a product or service that is solving a much needed problem, if the community behind the project is a solid and serious one and lastly, are they innovative enough to be ahead of the curve and the competition. These are the kind of things I will look for if I am investing in any sort of start up. We have to be vigilant and not lazy when we are doing our research, that's for sure.

Nothing is risk free and being in crypto it is highly risky and we have seen in years how the market rises and falls and at times you may not evn recover your losses just like btc fallen from 20k and now at 7300$. So invest only extra money which you can afford to lose and also in good coins only which can recover too in long term.

That is true. Just invest the money that you do not care about. I have a strategy for my long term investing that if I invest some of my money, I just think that it is already gone or I lost it already so I will not have any expectation from my investments and I will just check it after 6 months to a year to see the progress of my chosen investment.

Before investing in a coin,  we should know clearly the background of the coin, especially for new coins..  it would be nice if discussing first with other crypto-enthusiasts,  usually they will give us some advice.  But I personally prefer investing in popular coins like bitcoin and ethereum compared to new coins.

actually it's good enough to take advantage of new coins, like IEO. You can invest in the beginning, usually, the price is cheaper and when start trading, the price is usually pumping 2x, but it all depends on the market. at least you chose a new IEO in binance. the rest is better to choose investments in popular coins or in the top 10 coinmarketcaps.
