How you choose projects for investment

[bizfyn_ru]

Hello!
I want to know how you choose projects for investment?
At the moment I'm focusing on the Near Protocol.
I bought it back in early April and don't miss the chance to mention it.
What did I focus on when choosing it for investment?

1. Team (most of the famous developers worked in google and facebook)
2. Strong community (more than 100k on Twitter and a very strong forum)
3. Own blockchain (develop their own structure with their own EVM and cross-chain)
4. Solving existing problems in cryptocurrency (high fees, transaction processing speed, scalability)

This is a very brief description. At the moment I am faced with the choice to add a few more such projects to myself. Share your knowledge.

Already you said about this four important topic that is very important for checking before investment, always i search about project Team, about their Concept, their social activity, team active or not, what is their future plan, their partnership, supply etc.

I know that it is very important to do research before investing in any project. I usually  investigate the idea and docs, also I overview the team members and check if any “whales” are going to invest in it. One more important thing is definitely a marketing campaign and social media. You should investigate if there is a big community and there are many people who trust it and want to invest.

I agree with these four points, but I think the benefits of a project must really be felt by the token holder or the user of the ecosystem, the roadmap must be clear and keep the promises made in the roadmap.

I think thats the important basics for finding a good project to invest in, and I must say that the Near Protocol is a promising one if we base on those criteria aside from Near Protocol there's a lot of good investment prospect out there that need to be discovered by doing such basics that why start it today.

I tend to agree with all of those stated above but it seems not all of them can give satisfaction in choosing a good project to invest in.  There are too many factors that we should be considered upon making decisions on putting investment.  Roadmap and Whitepaper must be important to read at the first glance of the project and followed by social media presence.

At the moment I'm focusing on the Near Protocol.

I don't know technically about this project but having short research it's a dApp which is it aims to offer scalability and stable fees.
On this matter, think about the competitor, this belongs to those factors that you must be considered before choosing an investment.  There are too many projects that already existed that aim to break the high fees and have fast transactions.

However, you can give it a shot if you want, but make sure that the amount that you invested is the amount that you can afford to lose.

Always check the team and their progress and their social media channels and partnership with other projects, as you told main points before investing in any projects but always check project throughout before investment.

OP didn't mention what kind of investment it is that the question is for and I think that should be known for proper response and guide because investment is in different ways. There are longtime, short time , direct trade. In the midst of longtime there is a longer or shorter time depending on target. So what your target of investment?

Do you want to hodl how long or you just want to short. Some fear trading like me so I prefer to hodl and investment should be on coins that are cheap but in exchange that are popular because of volume and volatility.

100% agree the team is the first thing I look at. If they are anon I will skip right on by. I dont have time for that kind of stuff anymore. I stopped following anon teams back in 2017 when things got stupid with rug pulls and other cash grabs. Second I look for a strong roadmap that solves a problem and could actually contribute something. Third is institutional backing of any sort and then looking at how much marketing they are doing and how many real followers they may have. If they pass all those criteria I will likely start a small position.

[tarable]

I agree with these four points, but I think the benefits of a project must really be felt by the token holder or the user of the ecosystem, the roadmap must be clear and keep the promises made in the roadmap.

The problem now is to fulfill the promises that have been written in the roadmap, because not all projects can run smoothly according to the roadmap if they do not have cooperation partners and also the interest of investors to join them.

Most of the time, I only invest in public IDO projects to limit the risks from word-for-word projects like ICOs before.  Although not IDO projects built on defi platforms are profitable.  But surely, each person will have to have their own DYOR to assess the trust of the project is the first thing to do, base the decision and accept it.
Currently, I am interested in Rangers Protocol, it will be launched IDO on polkastarter launcher.

Careful of number 1 though. Team members should have at least an established LinkedIn profile, as just by saying that they work for Google does not prove it all.
I can say that I work for Microsoft, Amazon, Geek Squad (lots of refund and even tech support scammers claim those), and some people would just believe me if they did not bother to check my background and if it is even legitimate. From what I can see to some scam projects from SA board, some even use and photoshop to fake out those stock photos.

To choose a project in investment, we need to set a time period, where the time period will be adjusted to the condition of the coin in the market, usually most people before starting to invest, find out how far the movement of the coin you want to invest, whether it has good potential and market trends, so that when we decide to invest, we already know the prospect of the coin, and now the opportunity is very open, with the existence of altcoins in the market that has the potential for movement in the coming year.

You should investigate if there is a big community and there are many people who trust it and want to invest.

Creating a large community is now very easy. But it's important to assess the quality of the project, its ideas and vision, and their strategy. In the end is still their product or utility if the marketing strategies are guaranteed to attract. There are many quality projects, but losing the attraction from marketing and community management campaigns leads to failure
What matters is your DYOR it belongs to you. Not a puppet based solely on the crowd's response. That is very dangerous.

You have been mentioning your criterias about why you're picking near as your investment but it seems like that you didn't even think about the usability of token. The protocol token was good but we have bunch of protocol tokens in the market.

What did I focus on when choosing it for investment?

Those are good points to pick which the best investment for you but i just wanna try to remind you if a token without any usability would be useless. There are lots of blockchain tokens that already abandoned as it didn't have more utility usage. You must add utility usage of coin or token as a very important part to determine whether that's legit investment or not.

I saw a lot of descriptions for most projects that are talking about solution of high fees and speed of transaction. I think that this shouldn't be a case anymore as most of the crypto projects are looking to solve all of it. Honestly, a lot of cryptos have cheap fees and quick too but not going far, the king, bitcoin has became one of the cheapest and its speed is also quick so the solution about these factors have already been solved.

Finding a good project to invest is definitely time consuming. Thorough analysis and extensive research is necessary to identify a potential project.
To start with I read the objective of the project and if the project has an idea which is unique and interesting then I read it's whitepaper.
I try to find out the technical aspects of it and figure out how efficient would it be to solve the problem.
Then I find out the dev team and their experiences. After all of this if the project is still worthy then I get into the numbers.
The initial sale, the accumulation of coins by the team, investors and community, market cap and supply etc..
If all of these are satisfactory then I wait for a good entry and then buy the coins and keep accumulating them in every dip.

[Raflesia]

The four categories mentioned by the OP are very important as the basic value of the project to be invested, this basis has a strong basis in which they will know about the project to be carried out in the future, but know that in a new project you must be prepared to risk losing.

It is possible that some investors will judge more deeply about the project but in the projects you mention not all will agree with your investment but what you do with the research is already a good thing and not a good thing to invest for others.

[Cadaver20]

You mention some very good points for choosing a good project for investment. I want to add a point here and that is Litepaper and Whitepaper of a project. If you read the Whitepaper of a project you can understand whether it is legit or not. Also you can check the roadmap of a project.

Near protocol is definatelly a winner. And i bought it on the private sale, so i'm sitting at over 50x at the moment.
These 4 points are good and valid, but one thing is missing, good marketing
