Bitcoin is the King of cryptocurrency and most altcoins are way less qualified in terms of credibility, fanbase, high returns with minimal risks etc. I am trying my best to analyze altcoin projects but the results are not pleasant. What makes an altcoin really trustworthy ? And why ? Please let me know your opinions.

No asset is trustworthy, in short.

Depends on upon what your objective is, whether to make profits in short term or in long term or just to support the project without looking at gains.

To check a project's trust worth, verify its team members and their background. Check the project's vision and evaluate whether it is feasible in real life and whether it has a market of it's own. Then see whether the concept actually solves the problem and also if its the first of its kind.

Still then you will see that good projects fail easily in the next one year and you cannot do anything about it. Altcoins are like that only.

The most simple thing to know if the project are reliable and trustworthy is depends on the protocol, it must be decentralized and able to trade without centralized exchange.

Decentralized make your coin can't get frozen, controlled and manipulated since you don't have to trust anyone including the CEO. It will be different if the coin is centralized, you must trust the CEO and hope he wouldn't rug pull his own project.

Government always tightening their rules and it's need KYC to trade in centralized exchange, the worst thing is the exchange can freeze your account and confiscate your funds. If you trade on decentralized exchange or non custodial P2P platform, your coin will be 100% safe.

But you need to know 99% coins are centralized, only 1% or less are 100% decentralized.

You just don't have to spend time analyzing coins other than Bitcoin. All of them, sooner or later, almost always turn into dust. Are there any new and unique projects? This is a rewriting in your own words of other people's ideas, which also does not succeed. Read their roadmap, learn about their developers' experiences, and everything The Ultra Elite has already said will be your experience. I agree that some people benefit from alternative coins that can provide them with an increase. But this requires understanding, and a lot of people most often lose by not taking anything from their experience. As a result, the value of your time is only as great as your desire to spend it.

First things.

What factor you taken for the research? IMO, each of the product/alt-coin have their own fundamental. Comparing to "Bitcoin" is really a big gap for them, why? because "Bitcoin" the first digital asset who have a big trust from the community.

And it's started not easy as looks like, need take us so many tragedy and problem to archive this day.

[Shobhikhan_007]

Look which problem is going to solove by the project.

For example take a look at Bitcoin. Why people still say BTC is king? Because it's soloved main problem that were in our society long. That is freedom for your money. Like that first you need to find out what problem that is going to solove by the project first. If it's good, if it's long lasting, If it's can gamechanger then you are good to go.

And what then to spend time in the study of cryptocurrencies? Buy bitcoin for $20,000 and forget about it for a few years until its price rises.Soon there will be regulation from the SEC, and most of the cryptocurrency projects will be closed, but some projects, like Ethereum, Polkadot, Atom, should work on the market, because many financial companies will work in these ecosystems, which will tokenize their assets.

You can't fully trust any project even Bitcoin because this market is very volatile and anything can happen.
Don't look on where you can trust for long term, try to look for the opportunity on making money and you'll see a lot with the altcoins market. This market offers a lot of opportunities, don't settle with your emotion and just follow the trend, making profit should be your top priority, don't get too attached with any project for your own safety.

Altcoins and their future are still a wild guess. STOs or regulated and audited projects were thought to be less risky but these low risk low profit projects too failed miserably. Something as stupid as Shiba Inu that airdropped more than 50% of it's the than supply to vitalik buterin (single person unrelated to the project) got unprecedented success, survived through multiple pumps and dumps and still going strong as a popular altcoin makes me believe there are almost zero logic on altcoins future prediction. The only thing that depends on the long run is how active the project manager or volunteers are on the development and progress.

most of those who claim new projects are not currently new projects. they just come by expanding on existing ones. even just copying and changing the name, conceptually and in the application, everything can be the same. and they will inevitably give birth to more shitcoins that won't last long once they are traded in the market.

the only reason to look for a good altcoin project is to see who developed the project. when he is a seasoned person, in the sense that he is not new to the crypto world. maybe we can consider it. although there are still many aspects to consider.

[dothebeats]

Almost every project in the crypto space can pull a scam on you. You just have to get a fair share of the pie and get as much profit as you can from them then you can bail out. There's really no telling whether a project is trustworthy or not. You'll never know if they have reached their goal and can begin scamming people just because. The key is, don't ever stay in one project for a long time. Diversify, get profits, bail out.

In my opinion, after hundreds of thousands of altcoin projects had failed and wiped out naive investors' money, there will be no point of trying out new projects. This leads me to keep investing only within known and long running projects. So, if you look for a reliable and trustworthy projects then follow any old coin and if that keeps pumping at regular interval then that can be added into your portfolio. This is just another trick and cannot be a 100% guaranteed one.

The most simple thing to know if the project are reliable and trustworthy is depends on the protocol, it must be decentralized and able to trade without centralized exchange.

But, I have seen many project with zero pre-mine and following all other decentralized rules got failed as well. In my understanding, being decentralized got nothing to do with your investment.

When the altcoin gives you security.
First and foremost, it's always the price that will provide you with security but most of all if you bought thousands of this altcoin at such a very minimum price for less than $10 and then the current price is more than $1000. ETH and BNB are examples of these.  It will give you the security that you keep earning when you are staking a lot of it.

[Tessyb]

When it's comes to cryptocurrency assets, I personally won't subscribe to the fact that any of them is trustworthy. The rate of volatility and unpredictability of the market and the assets is enough to believe that there's no trust in the cryptocurrency space. I'll prefer to subscribe to the fact that the industry as well as the crypto assets are innovative and evolving.

[Coyster]

Mind you that if you are actually doing your research into which altcoins are very good, you're prolly doing what's synonymous to looking for a needle in a haystack, altcoins are short term projects, and you definitely cannot classify most of them as being reliable or trustworthy.

Having said that, a project should have an actual utility, like Bitcoin, that is what makes it stand out amongst all other cryptocurrencies, make sure it doesn't have a fake utility or hyped up promises like most altcoins. You wouldn't also want to buy a coin that is centrally controlled by some individuals/whales who can manipulate the price of the coin in any direction they so choose, that's another reason why a decentralized coin like Bitcoin is a no-brainer for most crypto enthusiast. Well DYOR is the only way to be sure of what you're doing and to be confident in your decision.

[dimonstration]

We should learn now that not all projects are legit, some projects maybe relible at first but later on became greedy and tends to be a scam project. I learn not to hold on too much into my altcoins as some of them losses already their value and some projects seems to have no update after their successful funding. What is best in crypto is that we can trade them as long we’re getting profit on it, but holding on into it might not be a good decision. It can be fine in bitcoin to hold and wait but in altcoins it takes more risk and lose not trading it for long.

It's fantastic that you want to learn more about crypto currencies in order to determine which ones can be trusted. When trying to determine whether or not an alternative cryptocurrency can be trusted, there are a few things to keep in mind. One important factor in an altcoin's success is the expertise and dedication of the people behind the project. As a corollary, the altcoin's use case and practical relevance are also critical considerations. Success is more likely for an alternative cryptocurrency if it offers a practical solution to an existing issue or fills a need in the current market.

One must also consider the altcoin's underlying technology and evaluate it against similar currencies. Are there substantial network effects or collaborations that will assist propel the altcoin's adoption and value? Is the group of people working on and using it robust? When deciding whether or not to invest in an alternative cryptocurrency, these are all crucial questions to ask. In the end, it is crucial to do your homework on the cryptocurrency and fully comprehend it before putting your money into it, and to always diversify your investments to lessen the blow of any potential losses.

There are numerous altcoins in the crypto market, among them all are not legit and very few projects are well established. However, there is no guarantee in Crypto, a good project can be broken within only 1 day as it happened in the case of FTX or Luna. There are usually some coins or projects that attract investors whether the project is good or bad will depend on their experience,skill and by making their products . If the team possesses honesty and devoted characters, then any project can do well. However, some things must be taken care. For developing a project financial transparency and skill and experience must be compulsory for the success of the project.

[o48o]

If dev team follows regulations and is active, committed, transparent and smart and does answer hard questions. That's a good starting point.

However even if you can trust the team you can't always trust the project. It could fail for several reasons. One of many is that superior tech comes and makes the project completely irrelevant, yet the team keeps on building it even if they know it's doomed because they have money left to spend.

But i would start from fundamentals, find if there is a realistic use case, check competition if any and if they have a better solution, and finally go and deep dive the team and check that there are coders in charge and no pointless advisors or business CEOs or advertising team what have no idea what crypto even is.

You are thinking this on the wrong way, trustworthiness has a range, which can go from not trust at all to be given to being trustworthy and anything in between, and as you may guess most altcoins do not pass even the slightly scrutiny as they copy and pasted some part of their website or whitepaper, the developers lie about their identities, their token economics are wrong, they censor any kind of criticism to their project or they do many other things that are a red flags when you think about it, so it is not surprising you are getting such dismal results.
