How to identify high-quality projects in the primary market?

[magneto]

There is virtually nothing that you can do.

It's the same idea as trying to "pick winners" in the stock market - what you are doing in essence is futile, a waste of time, and you'll probably end up having to cough up more in fees than your profits.

Also consider this - offerings are generally made when the project is most "hot" or when the entire atmosphere/sentiment in the market is at a high. Do you really think you'd be able to pick the few survivors out of thousands of uncompetitive duds? I think not.

its not 1600 coins now. its 8800 now according to coingecko.

I hardly advise against this kind of gambling. You have bigger chances at the casino. In casiono its like 49:51 (win loss) here it is 1:9999 and reward is not worth the risk.

Yes it is not possible to detect all of that one by one. seems like right know its not about  people looking for a good project. but a project that must be able to reach potential customers. with big promotions can be a plus point. but this can also hinder for good projects without big capital to exist in market.

Wrong. There is nothing you can do to define "high-quality projects in the primary market". Everything posted above can be, and very often is, faked.

My post from 2018. Its even worse now with finding gems at early stage.

1- whitepaper is just a document with words. It can be copied and change a little. Faked. I can create my own whitepaper in which ill write that tomorrow ill be on mt everest.
2-team can be faked with fake twitter account with bought followers
3- code - who of us can check if code is OK? How many of currencies have working code now? Most of them are just concept without working product jet.
4- hype can be bought.
5- being unique didn't give you certainty of being unique forever. 1 month after your investment there can be new ICO with better team, bought hype and with working product delivered faster.
6- you are newbie and you did fundamental analyst wrong or didn't do at all just jump after hype or because someone said that its great investment
7- there are 1600 coins. More than 1400 won't survive next few years because they are not necessary. Your decision must be precised and full of luck

The number of altcoins won't stop at 8800, we know that well.  But I disagree about altcoins being a high stakes game, such as 1:50 best.  Lol, anything can turn out to be an opportunity even if the odds are very low.  Whatever it is, get rid of the word-only ICO projects, at least it's an action and beta/demo/testnet ready.  I always doubt these factors when I want to invest.  Also do not invest a lot of money in new projects.

In my opinion, it is better to look for platforms with working product or app that are actually serving existing users. The team can publish all their credentials but in the end, most of them can't implement the mission they want for the project. If the app has useful application in the day to day life of a regular user, that may have the chance to survive rather than application for selected customers.

The problem is that you dont reach high audience by developing good, promising project. Thats separate thing. Good project =/ high audience. That separate thing. You ... as a CEO you need to take care of project development and community growth separately to be able to grow as fast as possible with as much funds as possible. Idena is a great example. Project that should be evaluated 100x higher but ... never ever focused on investors. Always focus about tech. My 2 year old investment stll with 0% profit. Devs keep on delivering but no one cares. No one is interested. Mostly because no one paid x$ to influencers, no one paid x$ for big exchange listing.

If every advice we see in every thread of Bitcointalk actually work, everyone would have been rich and no one here would want to ever promote any project.
Anyways, your points are good and they are perquisites to investing in a project you want to put your finances, so it's primarily the first things to consider.
However, you may do the list but the success isn't guaranteed, Cryptocurrency is investing should be done with due diligence and no project is good until its actually profitable after investing in them.

[maisao1991]

In my opinion, any project today is almost a scam project, accounting for the majority of good projects, only about 1% of the market today, if 100 projects are released every month, there are only about 1 or 2 projects. The real growth is left when they spend some money to attract buyers as well as a small amount for liquidity and then they disappear forever with investors embracing junk coins, it's really hard to judge a high quality project all like a gamble , you red you win you black you lose everything.

[realcrypto]

Normally what you listed would have been a good standing ground to identify high quality projects but the developers of most new scam projects nowadays are smarter than you think. The only reason I invest a good amount of money in a project is when it is being listed or the launch is been done in a reputable exchange.

How to identify high-quality projects in the primary market?
1. The team background of the project,.whether the founding team members have other technical or operational backgrounds related to the blockchain icon project. You can learn about it through official white papers, official websites, communities, and other channels.
2. The investment institution of the project is extremely important. A good project seed will attract the participation of well-known institutions in the circle.
3. The technological innovation of the project, or a simple analogy of similar application projects.

Definitely these 3 criteria will not be enough but even if you set lots of conditions and then meeting them also will not guarantee to get you assured profits. Because, when it comes about crypto projects, investing is all about depending one one or more devs hence their actual intention toward that project alone will decide about the final outcome of a project.

I am not trying to say that setting criteria is meaningless but what I am trying to contribute here is, even if you happen to find an all good project, do not invest more than 5% of your total portfolio. Always treat all he projects with all cautions. This way, even if you invest in a scammy project, you will not lose much and your losses might get covered by other projects' profits.

Your description of Knowing and identifying high quality  projects is adjustable and more work input need to be done before one can determine a genuine project without becoming crumbled at the early or media stage. In this recent time that scammers and money hungers are all over the crypto market looking for money by doing numerous things to scam investors of there valuable funds just to accumulate funds which can be used to further more scam projects exposing more investors with vast victims.

If the project still not realized, i prefer to look project that seems logicly to happen. Because sometimes only idea that they offer and then after ICO ends, their product which described in their whitepaper not really created and then they leave the project after get money from investor because their job to listed their coin in market already done. Or maybe just playing safe to pick big coins in market.

I think one of the major issues is that it is often too easy to hide for scammers. I like it when they give live AMAs, speak at conferences and obviously have a serious team shown with profile pics. You can often tell from the (missing) profile pics alone when that is a scam or not. They use so bad google pic copies of some people that it should be embarrassing for anyone to put money into these scams. Big conventions and conferences is a good sign that the team is at least serious about building something. Whether they succeed or not in the end... The statistics show that usually they fail.

No I won't agree totally that every project is scam because I have benefited from some that are cool, maybe few are though. Joining a good project is luck and that is it. You can also study the people around the project, exchange taking up the project. Overall you need some real research to invest and not just investing because others are done so.

It is not that what you are stating is wrong it is just that it can be so easily faked by the scammers we have in this market that it makes no difference at all, all of those that are investing in new coins thinking they are going to be part of the next ethereum o something similar will lose their money the majority of the time, this may seem to be too pessimistic but your chances of earning money this way are very low, we have thousands of coins in the market and technically we have more it is just that those coins never launch at all so you are taking a massive risk over something you have no idea if it is going to be successful or not, and when it comes to investing this is a major mistake.

For people who only think about profit then there are only a few aspects to consider.  1. what is the project concept, 2. who is the investor 3. must follow the trend. 
We know that no matter how good a project is, if the theme used is not trending, then the project will take a very long time to famous and succeed.  we learn from experience how there used to be a trend every time.  For example, DeFi, Meme, NFT themes, and now the trend is Game themed.  For that, if there is a new trend we must be prepared to anticipate it

[pinggoki]

Number 1 is a bit tricky since most developers would acquire pseudonyms and would remain anonymous yet would still be able to deliver promise projects and roadmap plans. For me what really makes or breaks a project is the model, some projects happen to exist under a promising premise but die off when they find out what they're trying to do is nigh impossible. That's basically most of the projects that happen in crypto-scene who die off eventually fall under.

When you invest in a project, very rarely do you look for specific business models to support and what happens most of the time is you check the currencies, see why it's pumping, check the business model, and from there, decide whether you'd invest in it or not. I can vouch for this that this is what's going on for the most of us. Have no mistake, there's nothing wrong for yearning profits in a profitable space like crypto.

The best case scenario is to stick to the kings and queens first then start trusting any pawns outside the castle. Im putting the sentence that way because we hardly find any good projects these days. All of them will create a good amount of market at the start of their journey and will loose the value later in the time or until new projects are come up. For example, Defi's and NFT's are crazy hot right now. Before them swap was going all the way up and different swap projects started coming up but they lost the value or at least publicity because somebody bought a painting for millions of dollars using NFT. Then started the era of NFT and then DeFi and what not.

My experience says, you just go with BTC and ETH man. Rest of the coins you can have in small risk free amounts and start trading around them to gain some profits. Obviously that's why you looking for the good projects so there you go, trade them!

It has really become difficult to indentify scam projects as most of them have now develop good user interface sites and lucrative rewards and support team and will show you past history of projects but in reality they all are fake and most of them comes to know about it when you have been victim of the scam and lost funds to it.So it's better to have full investigation on your behalf and try not to fall trap into such projects.Market is now messed up with many DeFi and NFT projects coming up in the hype but you can't say which will succeed in long term or not? So it is on you how you make analysis of the projects for safeguarding your funds in best way.

[rosenbauer02]

Identifying legit or real projects are very hard to do since most of the projects are scam. You would say that 99% of thise projects are scam and only 1% are legit. Sadly, some of those project are not scam but failed to survive that long.

[blckhawk]

The team members also if possible have identification and they have some way to be reached out to like emails or a LinkedIn profile, most anonymous projects ends up being a rug pull that dupes investors. In terms of investment, they shouldn't ask too big for their investors in my opinion because if it's a legitimate project, they can start small and slowly build up while the funding also goes up.

This is right, teams should have faces because in an anonymous space, you don't want to trust your money on people that doesn't have any faces, you won't be getting anything out of them especially if they started running away from the project. I have seen this kind of projects and they almost always end up in a scam.

So far what I've learned, it's very difficult to find a really quality project. but there is 1 thing I think about, is where the project is advertised. because the place to market the product is very important, not only on bitcointalk but more on crypto related websites such as ico rating or coinmarketcap and others. the reason is if a developer dares to put an ad on the site is that they really want to make a big project and have the capital to start a project.

It's just a part of it in my opinion, being advertised doesn't mean it's a quality project. Remember thatscam projects can be advertised too so you better understand and evaluate what you're saying because it might lead you to the wrong path.
