1. What is the best process to conduct a research about Altcoins to invest in?

Check the price of the altcoins of interest, check the price the altcoins was at when it was created and check the whole history of the coins. Read news and follow day to day trends and make sure you read possible things that can affect the price.

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

Do not invest on shitcoins or dead coins, but you need to make the analysis yourself to know the best coins to invest on. As for me

1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Litecoin
4. Binance coin
5. Neo

Usually I use these factors before consider putting money on any coin.
- who is behind the project
- real product
- partnership
- token supply and distribution
- the tech / github
- clear roadmap
- activity on social media
etc.

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

Link, Dot, Ada, Ltc, Eth

Note: This is not a financial advice.

1. What is the best process to conduct a research about Altcoins to invest in?

Mostly I just go to google, or here in the Bounty (altcoins) thread and I'm going to check all of the bounty campaigns whether they are good to invest or not by simply typing it to google and reading their whitepaper. Next thing is I'm going to look for a background check of their CEO and the rest of the team. Next is their partners, if they have a good partnership with a big company, that's a very promising coin.

 

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

1. Ethereum
2. BNB
3. Litecoin
4. Monero
5. Etc

1. What is the best process to conduct a research about Altcoins to invest in?

Cryptocurrency is evolving, there are a lot of projects these days now, just like decentralized finance (DeFi).
So, the best process for me is to find a problem solver, a solution to a problem. And the most ideal is that there is already a product or it is already working, not a fan of an altcoin that is hype only, mostly in just a whitepaper and no product at all.

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

What do you want? High market cap now or those still in low market cap?
I think it is much is to select first more than 5 altcoins, then filter it to 5 altcoins.
Like you find the first 20 altcoins, then each of them you research then just select 5 altcoins that you are interested in and got your attention.

What I am still researching and got my attention these days are Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Serum, and FTT. Just my 2 cents

When researching and investing in altcoins, is mostly a gamble. Yes, you can look at the team, their project's use-case, their goals, progress, and their roadmap, etc, but all these stuff don't matter in the end if they end up failing and not manage to go anywhere anyway.

Take a look at the top 200 and onward projects listed on CoinMarketCap. A LOT of those have been projects that have been heavily shilled sometime between 2016-2019 but yet they're now just collecting dust.

By visiting their main telegram channel or where you can find information about them from there you will know the future plans of the dev and became active on the latest developments of the project. But if the said altcoins you want to invest doesn't have channels the least you can do is to search the information in the web since all of the information are there placed by some reviewers,article writer or even the dev itself.

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

Bitcoin
Ethereum
BNB
Xrp
ADA

This is my solid top 5 in my list.

1. As far as I do, I just look for information in their whitepaper, then see the progress on their social media and telegrams. sometimes the information there is very fast, and if there is no progress on the project, it will show.

2. For now I only focus on bitcoin, ethereum, BNB, polkadot, and ADA

Look into the projects real use case, to safe yourself some headaches it's safer to invest in top projects that are well known, white paper doesn't guaranteed anything, right now white paper is juts for knowing more about the project, if you are into new projects make sure you risk very little money on new altcoins because they are even more risky, if you want to hold a coin for a very long term buy bitcoin and bitcoin only

It seems that the OP has been very professional in analyzing the project, only on this occasion he wants to know some suggestions from other people including yourself about which Altcoins are suitable to be invested at this time, with a total of 5 different Altcoins.

[electronicash]

if you seriously look for an altcoin to invest, just look at the ranks on coinmarketcap. the top one is BTC and below it are altcoins, it's all there. the top altcoins are perfectly good for investors, what you probably will do is learn when to buy the altcoins you pick.

if you mean investing in a new project then it's going to be a different thing since it's like a gamble. there isn't a lot of ICO anymore. what they do have these days are IDO.

To me, there is no best process to conduct research about altcoins; different individuals has different approaches to research altcoins; and it is best to find a method or strategy that works with you; so that you can always get desired results.

2. My prefered altcoins atm are Cake, Juld, Ada, 1inch and Litecoin. Always do your own research

1. What is the best process to conduct a research about Altcoins to invest in?

The best thing to see from the strategic partnership that already created and MVP. If that's a legit project and there will always be MVP.

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

You should focus to the ethereum, BNB, DOT, FLOW and UNI

This is just my 2 cents but the decision will be yours. You should DYOR and that's a must caused by you must have analyzed these coins before you wanna try to invest in these coins.

Exactly, whenever I go for researching a project for investment purposes then I mostly follow this way which already explained by him. After ensuing their activities in all that places, I go for technical analysis. My first thing is to discover the project which trying to fullfil those.

2. Based on your opinion, what are the top 5 Altcoins i need to focused on and probably invest in?

In this time,  DOT, ADA, ETH, BNB, NANO can be your choice list if you deeply look at them. Firstly, you need to cheak their activities in different angles then you can decide how much you can afford in trading. After then, you can try to go ahead for fullfilment your dreams.

Since I am more involved in day trading, I prefer to see how the altcoin chart moves and volume on the exchange.
in day trading I have never used a new altcoin asset. more often than not I use ETH, BNB, and Link. I also trade several assets such as DOT and ADA on the exchange.

[slaman29]

1. Best process? Nowadays it seems no amount of research can find out what you really want about altcoins. What influencers put out there usually is quite crap and all fit to speculate. Unfortunately only by following projects, their AMAs especially, do you know what's going on plus of course actually using their service/product.

2. Eth always. No matter what's going on now. I know a lot of others say defi but I don't thik they last. BSC is making BNB people so happy.

[OcTradism]

My top five priorities with altcoins:
- DASH: it will follow Ethereum rally soon.
- Litecoin: the silver digital currency and it was used and will be used as trial tool for later improvements on bitcoin network. Do you remember Lightning network trend in 2017, began with Litecoin?
- BNB: Binance know when and how to upgrade their services and build up Binance ecosystem to shill BNB.
- Dogecoin: it is always in my radar.
- Stellar Lumens: it has a habit for big pumps and it is better than Ripple.

[bitbollo]

it's very hard predict what altcoins that can have a profit. there are many factors involved, isn't easy at all build a portfolio able to survive in long term.
 
I made an experiment that can explain how difficult can be achieve a profit with altcoins.
I get some data from this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2106360.0 "The next 100x or 1000x coin", where people trying to guess/suggest the coin that could receive a big pump during end of 2017 early 2018.

After 3 years:
13,18% Reported a positive result.
10.83% Reported a 0 (total loss)
the others just negative results (prices go down).

Ditch searching about the team, project, the history and all the Bs that they might not even be able to do. Vision won't help. Roadmap won't help if in phase 1, it is already roadblocked.

Put yourself as a client as if you're buying their products/services. It's all about the market and you being as the consumer.

[ahoenk]

1. See the developer and the progress for each road maps has been done. If it is going goos and developer / company / foundation still work on it and has many activity in github its mean you already see good altcoin to invest to.
