Advice on what to consider when making an investment ?

[RealMalatesta]

First you should consider whether a coin that you’re gonna invested is having the potential that you expected basically seeing whether it's already near reaching highest value or still have potential and later on you should see the roadmap of the coins and decide whether it’s good for long term investment.
If it's a new coin the first thing to consider is the tokenomic.

Sometimes potential could be reached and be at 100% so it is no longer potential but the price could still go up. Development is very important but it is not the whole thing, bitcoin has been bitcoin for a decade and the only "improvement" was segwit, sure we had some other stuff but that was the biggest one and we did not have any change in bitcoin that we see monthly in some other smaller ones, yet it is still the biggest one and still breaks ATH after ATH, which is a proof that as long as you are good, you do not need to keep improving, coins could go up as it is when the market goes up. So, just find fundamentally great coins and you will profit.

What's up guys, I am relatively new to the crypto world and although I've read a lot and watched countless videos on crypto and how to do your own research, I was wondering what are the most important aspects of a project, and what are the most important factors and things to look for. If you could give me some advice on the resources you guys use that would be really great. I was also wondering if someone could explain to me what is a vesting schedule and what a good token distribution looks like vs a bad one.

There is a big difference between new projects and those that are already well established.
When it comes to what you should always check, there are whitepaper, dev team, roadmap and tokenomics.
It is also always good to check the industry the project is in and compare it with other existing projects. Whether other projects in this industry are successful gives us information that the industry is developing and the project in which we invest also has a chance of success.

The most important aspect should be the fundamental of project and this related to the what already achieved, how good the product, how big the traffic on its platform/product.
I do believe all of these aspects are really important to determine whether the project is legit or not. All of platforms with big marketcap has so many userbase and they are developing their platforms perfectly.
This is the most difficult thing but these days if you're seeing the marketcap and you can identify that easily and as far as I know when a coin has a big marketcap that means if has the trust from the users. I meant the real marketcap and it's also placed at the top rank of CMC. you can see that how top 100 marketcap coins are doing so good for now.

I would suggest you to join some crypto community (in Discord or Telegram) and listen to some smart guys on youtube - the ones who are good in analytics. I don't think there are any strict rules when you analyse a crypto project. But you should know how to filter obvious scammers - at least.

You need to sacrifice your time a little bit by doing your own proper research without depending on any influencers on youtube. Because they know how to manipulate you by pretending to disclaim what they promoted and you on the other hand will gonna blindly believe what they said. Give yourself time first, you can look for the most of information you need here. From the experiences, the users had to the basic stuff you can start by reading them and make your own conclusion.

Free advice, the only coin that a newbie should get into is bitcoin but try to buy it at the bear market. Current price of 41k USD is in a bearish trend but I feel it will go into the 35k USD range at which point you should think of buying it. Remember that bitcoin is still cheap compared to what it can become once mining new bitcoins end.

Whatever stuff you watch on youtube, you will find altcoin shills are looking to promote their own vaporware - each of those are short term stuff but when they are going to crash you will never know. Hence they are a waste of time and money and if you value those things, dont get into buying any altcoin.

If you could give me some advice on the resources you guys use that would be really great.

Look at older charts and identify support/resistance levels and use these place orders. No need to buy any book or course for trading, you learn indicators and their use by trading more than reading. Paid courses are only made to make the creator rich, not you.

I was also wondering if someone could explain to me what is a vesting schedule and what a good token distribution looks like vs a bad one.

Vesting schedule is not applicable here, you are only one making your traders. Do not give access to your portfolio to a third party, this market does not work like that. Keep your private key/seedphrase safe, whoever has that can spend your coins without you knowing.

About token distribution, I prefer the top five coins on coinmarketcap. They are time tested and safer than the rest. Rest if upto you if you want to lose your money.

I would recommend to look for a project that will still exist and still be useful after 5 years, there are some projects which goals is just a short term. If you are going to make an investment go with the project that still useful after more than 5 years since that kind of projects were worth investing for you don't want to make an investment on something like memecoins which doesn't have true purpose it's just for the sake of entertainment and those kinds of projects were only for short term investment and not for long and serious investments.

Yes, I think this is a good question and will be useful for all readers reading this thread in making investments. for example, the most important aspect that we must pay attention to when we want to invest in a project is to have a great developer and team or the project is developed by a developer and team that is experienced in crypto and has a good reputation. I think a lot of projects nowadays have great developers, and have good resources like ethereum, cardano, and bnb.

The most important thing when investing is to understand the risk, many people think they want to profit in a short time without understanding the risk so they panic when they see the red market, and the other important thing is to be patient, because without patience we will not get big profits, remember the price of ethereum which reaches more of $3500 does not occur in 1 or 2 months but occurs over 7 years.

If that will be their mindset, I think they have to expect losses than having a profit. Because the market doesn't behave like that, there is a huge difference as we look into it compared to actual investment. I'm not saying we always think about losing but we can't just ignore any possibilities, yet, we need to be prepared than being surprised. That is how important to understand the situation and get some idea of how it works. As the more we gain knowledge, the merrier it comes and we can make decisions right.

As you were advised here, the first is, of course, the community of the project. Next, the team and goals of the platform. It's good if you can use a ready-made product and read about it in different social networks. Here you were prompted some options, but the choice is always yours, so study very carefully.

You are right, sometimes not only on YouTube, in tradingview there are many market analysts who make the different analyzes they do available, sometimes it is difficult to choose a good currency with a market whose short-term trend is bearish, it is difficult to decide what risk taking to avoid losing money, then the most logical thing is before looking for any analysis to do a personal analysis, reach a conclusion and start to see other points of view. When it comes to investment or investment advice, even the possible fundamentals should be taken into account at the global level, because all that can turn into not making money, losing or winning.

I think the most important thing when we invest is knowing everything in detail, and what most people forget is the risk of loss, remember that cryptocurrencies are a type of high risk investment so we have to choose the right project so we don't get scammed.

It's good if you can use a ready-made product and read about it in different social networks. Here you were prompted some options, but the choice is always yours, so study very carefully.

The product gets higher priority if you ask me. Community depends on a lot of factors. It is easy these days to generate higher views and higher followers by inorganic paid means. Then following that would mislead an investor. If you ask about the owners and developers who are working on the project, well and good, but most of the times they will only be able to give you guarded answers that will not help decide on investing or not.

If you find the product useful for the population targeted and if there is a genuine need in that population for that product then the demand will rise on its own, the community will inflate and the market price of their token will rise. But this is close to zero in the crypto market because majority of such projects have already been done in the mainstream market.
