What is the best way to accurately value cryptocurrency assets?
This is a question that you hear people asking nearly every day, and everyone has a different opinion on the subject. But everyone agrees that an accurate appraisal requires looking below the surface at what’s underneath.
“This is kind of a charade, because most people are really just looking to profit in terms of converting back into fiat currencies”
Most new crypto investors will look at things like trading price, market cap, rankings, trading volume, etc., but these do not really get to the fundamental value of a cryptocurrency.
Properly evaluating a cryptocurrency means going deeper!
Veteran crypto-enthusiasts look at things that are less open to manipulation, such as chain traffic volume, transaction fees, hash rates, number of active addresses, blockchain size, mining difficulty.
