In the cryptocurrency market so many things are happening, the market is flooded with coins with good potential and at the same time coins without potential and future, and because of this reason, if one is not properly guided you end up loosing your money in a twinkle of an eye. When investing in new coin , there are somethings one need to consider before investing in new coin. Invest where other people are investing, consider project background before you make your investment because not all projects have strong background.Be very careful with newly listed presale projects , because some projects might do well during presale but when they are listed in an exchange they will pump for a short period of time, and will go down and will never rise again.So , with all this in with couple with proper research will be able to locate or identify projects with good potentials. New coins with good potential can be more profitable as they tend to make more gain in the market than old projects.

Hello, There are many new coins and tokens being created every day. Do you know of a cheap coin or token with a bright future? What do you think about the future of Dero or XLM?
Thank you.
Sometimes, I use XLM for transactions and it's cheap too. But with Dero, I don't know and never heard of it. As for the bright future of these tokens. I can't say anything at all but if I am using it, only for transactions. XLM was a 100x if you got in early around nov 2016 around .002 and heard there doing something with PayPal. I also think there connected to ripple XRP some way DYOR.
I agree, if you got early on it. You're in profit and much better. I'm trying to put together a new coin that can help the ecosystem. Looking to develop a foundation before it launches. I think I will do no premine but I would like to buy coins from miners. There is one exchange I know that may list but Respond is slow.

Knowing for which token or coin has a good potential is very important for us to do, but it only requires more research as we go further more in cryptocurrency, not all the projects appears to have the same utility and investors that could help in taking the project to the next level, some do experience sudden boom and hit their target after their launch while some failed right after they were being introduced, all these have to do with our luck and risk management factor.

Majority of token spammers do not even care about whether a coin has a good potential or not. Making money in the crypto space requires understanding and searching the space for information that will help to make good decisions that will be profitable. I keep seeing different posts about how to make a good choice that will lead to profitability while selecting good tokens that will have high yield. Everybody is so crazy about making profits but majority are not ready to do research that will enhance good decisions. We just want to keep seeing the profits coming without any effort or input.

From my experience in bitcoin, nobody knows the coin that is going to do well, that's why some people missed opportunity of investing in a coin that late become promising in future, I could remember when ethereum came out new, many people was afraid to purchase ethereum as of that time, including bitcoin who is the mother of all coins, when it was introduced nobody knew that it will get up to this level So what I will advice anyone who have the interest to buy coin, the person should use he or her spare money to purchase such kinds of coin, and should hold for short term, because their's every tendency that the coin can die off at any time, so that you will not regret after all.

It's still important to research a new coin that comes out in the cryptocurrency field. Of course, if we really want to find a potential coin, we'll do what it takes find out if it's truly a good opportunity or not.
This is the only way careful investors can avoid wasting their capital in the crypto industry that we are a part of. And this should be done by anyone actually.
While it is true that we are going to end up with a lot more profit if we end up finding a good coin, it's also true that we are going to end up with a lot more problems if we are not careful. That is the most important part, if we end up with something that is actually profitable when right but absolutely shit when it's not. So many people invest into new coins and tokens and end up with absolutely nothing, so you have to be very careful about it, and not make mistakes. This is very important because it allows people to be right or wrong based on what they are doing. If they do that, then they should be able to make some good returns with what they have. It's really not that complicated, it's doable and can be turned into profit if they know what they are doing.

Please I will want to know about this, how would one know the token or coin that got some goodies to give to their potential buyers, so you mean that from research you can actually no this, I think you are right to an extent but that's for only newbies because I believe that old investors knows much about Bitcoin to be precise ad such they need no research to know anything further about it but as for new coin or tokens, with all your research and whatever thing you want to do, you can never know when it will dump but the thing is that as a old folk in the system, you'll definitely know what shitcoins are capable of doing and with that knowledge,it will give you insight of what's might likely be the outcome of such coin if you try to put in your funds in any of the shit.

There are many ways to know if a time worth buying or not and one of the ways to do this is to carry out research about the token by checking the website, whitepaper, coinmarketcap and other websites that give information about tokens. Getting information about a project is not easy and we need to be patient to know some things about the project you intend to buy so you don't end up investing in the wrong project that will not be profitable at the end of the day.

When a new coin is launched, we don't know if such could last or even perform well as we may expect from it, but we all decided on taking risk to invest in such whether we could be right or wrong about our expectations towards the project, which is a risk we often take, aside that we already made some level of research about the coin or token, we can't predict on what comes after launch.

I am very conscious when investing in new projects so I don't fall victim to many of these pump and dump tokens that are only created to milk from investors. When I want to invest in altcoins especially memecoins which I don't most time, I am always checking for numbers of holders, wallets with large holdings , who the team are and others important things to check for.
The altcoins market need to a bit of understanding because the way investors are losing their hard earned money is quite of a large numbers but many would not still mind, buying and holding for as long as possible without having a thought of the tokens going rug pull after some certain months.
Being cautious of investing on new crypto projects shows that you're well inclined in the crypto space and smart enough to avoid investing on wrong crypto investments, I mean the "pump and dump" tokens, not all coins are good for investment some are created to drain people money and succeeding through them is by luck just like gambling so instead of taking such risks it's better to investing on coins or tokens that has less risks and gives investors hope for better profits on the long run. On a norms investing in crypto needs some understand and research on better options for investment.

Thank you.
Why are you looking for "cheap" coins at first place ? You can buy cryptocurrencies in decimals too. So even if you go for a good coin and you have a low budget for investment, you can still go ahead with that. You don't necessarily have to go for cheaper coins, in fact, those coins will probably eat up all your investment.

Thank you.
If you are going for new coins, you really need to be very careful and do your research. Because of buying coins that are very cheap, many people have fallen victim to investing in the wrong coin that eventually crashed. Well, it is not bad to invest in a coin that is new because of the benefits that are attached to having a new project. But if you don't know how to determine if a new coin is reliable, there is no need to invest in it; it is better to invest in a coin that has been existing and doing well in the market. Always do your own research because there are so many shitcoins in the market.

XLM was a 100x if you got in early around nov 2016 around .002 and heard there doing something with PayPal. I also think there connected to ripple XRP some way DYOR. https://www.ainvest.com/news/stellar-xlm-rises-paypal-pyusd-integration-sparks-institutional-blockchain-momentum-2507/Dero coin looks interesting might be something there. Just needs some liquid to come into it. Maybe the Monero community can jump on it. BLOCK COREUM CORN LYX XX Network Still think Goldcoin and oneledger will be good investments. Hello, Thank you so much for your reply. Isn't now a good time to invest in XLM?

Hello, Thank you so much for your reply. Isn't now a good time to invest in XLM?
XLM has been around for a long time and already had its explosive run from the early days so the 100x type of gains might not be realistic anymore. That said with the PayPal angle and its ongoing focus on payments/remittances it still has long-term use case potential. If you’re looking for stability with gradual upside XLM could be worth a hold. If you’re after the next hidden gem though you might want to balance it with a few smaller-cap projects. Always best to spread your bets and keep risk in mind.

XLM is not a new coin though it's survived in the market for years and have been existing since 2014, if some bought $1k worth of it as at 5 years ago or when it's lowest price was about $0.00146 in 2014 the person would made lots of profits currently now that the price is at $0.3 therefore it's not a bad coin to look into although anyone interested would need to be very patient. Although you've made a very good point cause it's unwise to invest on a coin without doing proper research on certain coin before investing on them, lots of coin out there are shitty and being hyped to lure ignorant people into investing on them.

I have committed to XLM for the long term, but understand why: For one thing, I am not investing in XLM itself "per se", but rather in using XLM. I use XLM the same way I use bitcoin, which is, to build buy offers offering to buy other things with it. Sites like CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko and suchlike, sites that try to figure out what a thing is "worth", tend to look at the "buy offers" to figure out a "value" for a thing. Thus if you want something to look "valuable" you want to make sure it has lots of buy offers offering to buy it. Without "buy offers" it is not regarded by such "aggregator" sites as being "valuable". Thus it is necessary to place "buy offers" on "exchanges" which is to say on "trading venues" in order to make "value" visible to the masses who use such sites to find what current "values" are. Since buy offers might end up having to sit there untouched for years or decades or eventually maybe even centuries in order to be "deep" enough, "solid" enough, "dense" enough to be seen as "a strong buy side" implying lasting long term value, it would be utterly idiotic to try to build those "buy sides" out of fiat currencies, because over the years and decades and centuries we all already know from hard learned lessons of history that fiat loses value, so the buy sides we try to build out of fiat are doomed to just keep on losing more and more and more and more value over time. That of course totally undermines the idea of building stronger and stronger and stronger "buy sides" to higher and higher and higher prices (values). Thus it is better by far to build one's buy-sides out of something that retains value, and far far better even than that to build them out of something that actually goes up in value over the years decades and centuries. Thus, bitcoin is the obvious thing with which to build huge stacks of buy-offers. However, for a long time it tended to be the case that trading venues (exchanges) on which one could offer to buy things using bitcoin were centralised, custodial, they involved a third party holding both sides of one's trading-pairs. Thus the usefulness of things like XLM: things that have built-in trading so that even though one side of a trading pair is some token you need to trust a third party to honour, at least the native-coin side, the XLM side in Stellar's case, remains in your own wallet even while being used in a buy-offer. Note that my choice to use XLM for this purpose does necessarily mean in the long term that I need to build a strong buy-side for XLM itself, so if only for that I of course still need bitcoin with which to build XLM's own buy-side in order that XLM appear "valuable" to the aggregator-sites, and unfortunately currently that also means I still need to use a third party custodial "exchange" on which to build the buy-sides of the BTC/XLM trading-pair. ( Or of course issue BTC tokens there too myself so that BTC tokens I can trust exist there.  ) But basically in real life history too few "exchanges" provided the trading-pairs I wanted to trade so I was forced to use softwares, ultimately including Stellar/XLM, that allow people to set up any arbitrary trading-pairs they choose to trade, basically acting as "exchanges" themselves, which is precisely what the original Ripple, on which Stellar was modeled when the current Ripple indicated it was diverging off into "big brother / 1984" realms, was designed and intended to do. (And in practice Stellar actually does rather well in my experience.) -MarkM-

Thus it is better by far to build one's buy-sides out of something that retains value, and far far better even than that to build them out of something that actually goes up in value over the years decades and centuries. Thus, bitcoin is the obvious thing with which to build huge stacks of buy-offers. However, for a long time it tended to be the case that trading venues (exchanges) on which one could offer to buy things using bitcoin were centralised, custodial, they involved a third party holding both sides of one's trading-pairs. Thus the usefulness of things like XLM: things that have built-in trading so that even though one side of a trading pair is some token you need to trust a third party to honour, at least the native-coin side, the XLM side in Stellar's case, remains in your own wallet even while being used in a buy-offer. Note that my choice to use XLM for this purpose does necessarily mean in the long term that I need to build a strong buy-side for XLM itself, so if only for that I of course still need bitcoin with which to build XLM's own buy-side in order that XLM appear "valuable" to the aggregator-sites, and unfortunately currently that also means I still need to use a third party custodial "exchange" on which to build the buy-sides of the BTC/XLM trading-pair. ( Or of course issue BTC tokens there too myself so that BTC tokens I can trust exist there.  ) But basically in real life history too few "exchanges" provided the trading-pairs I wanted to trade so I was forced to use softwares, ultimately including Stellar/XLM, that allow people to set up any arbitrary trading-pairs they choose to trade, basically acting as "exchanges" themselves, which is precisely what the original Ripple, on which Stellar was modeled when the current Ripple indicated it was diverging off into "big brother / 1984" realms, was designed and intended to do. (And in practice Stellar actually does rather well in my experience.) -MarkM- Were you able to get XLM around 2014? Seems like you would have and others. I was on BitTorrent when I first saw Bitcoin in maybe 2014. They were asking for Bitcoin donations in the desktop app. What do you think of Chia? The guy who started BitTorrent started Chia.

I got Ripple when it was invented and given away in a giveaway thread and later XLM when Stellar was launched., also in giveaway thread. No idea about chia.
Actually got 105k Ripples and 5000 Lumens free from such threads I think.
Parted with the XRP when it reached almost $5 CAD in winter of 2017-2018 and bought houses but used the Lumens to launch tokens.

Amazing I figured you got it you been around since at least 2011. This is off topic but what do you think of https://bridgoro.com ? Also do you remember Hal Finney talking about some sort of split private key trade system? Getting half of the key then the other half when funds recieved. You seem like a brilliant person. Did you ever talk to Satoshi or Hal?
