Topic: Any tips on how to tell if a coin will flop or not? (Read 1034 times)

There are plenty of altcoins that would have made a huge profit if we invested into them when they first came out, however there are so many others that just fail. I know that this is just high risk <> reward, but is there any useful tips to make a decent guess as to if an altcoin is worth investing to when it is released?

i see these things are important to tell if the coin will die or not
Dev is MIA all the time, bad sign, the coin will die 99% of the time, or will get a relaunch but none will care anymore
bad roadmap, no substantial features, just stupid airdrop for newbie to dump lol
huge premine with dev newbies and many newbie responding to the thread, bad sign of the same dev doing his scammy coin

What is MIA ? Is this abbreviate of something ?
MIA means Missing in Action, it is a military term meaning that a soldier is missing and the army don’t know where the soldier is, in this case is being used for a developer that does not show very often and as such is not dedicated to the project.

it's not an easy thing to tell if an ICO is a scam or not, but the first thing that each ICO should have is the whitepaper and roadmap available for everyone to read.

Surely the ICO project should definitely have the Whitepaper of their project available for the public, Prospectus and Presentation and the roadmap should also be available. Any project without those might possibly be a scam

No one knows and all of us are in guessing game but we can actually make a thing which we can able somehow to see or predict that the coin does have the potential and as posted above you will see good indications first before deciding on jumping on a certain coin.We just need to remember the risk on putting up money on this coins, we might lose some or earn some just like that, this is why we need to be wise.

There are few things you have to look into before investing in any alts, like;
1. developer team
2. Their roadmap
3. They are backed by any registered company or not
4. How much they are saving as development fund
5. Are they using escrow for ICO or not

Why does it matter how much they are saving as development fund?

Because if the developers hold great share of the coins/tokens, they can easily dump them in the market making the coin/token price crashing hard. While they get profits, all investors will be screwed over. Something like 'pre-mine' would give you a hint.
Actually, this is very important point to look for when investing in a coin — that's also why I never trust Ethereum.

You should always look at the project first to see how unique it is, partners etc. Check the developer previous record to make sure he is not a scammer. Look at the following, if altcoin has huge following it's more likely to be a success but when it comes to new project you have to take a risk.

There's no way to tell exactly,  because some of these shits have pretty slick marketing campaigns.   But once you realize that they're designed to fleece noobs, you'll see all of them for what they really are.   Garbage.
That is exactly what is going to happen in the future,most of the projects collecting millions might not be running a couple of years from now,there are financial platforms like ICONOMI and the rest who are reinvesting things and it is a matter of time that you might end up investing those money in a shell coin and end up loosing a chunk ,the risks are higher,but as long as it is going smooth it is good for investors to make a good return.

investing on altcoins similar such as gambling but currently many people has been interested for ICO coin because if you were found the exact altcoins which is had succesfully for ICO the price will really good when they listed on the exchanges but i think there is no tips how to predict the exact price for altcoin but maybe you can asking to the dev itself but it doesn't guarantee they will telling the truth

invest in them after a while!
you don't need to invest before release (aka currently popular ICO investment) or in your case invest in early days. let them exist at least for a while and see their movement. if you noticed a strong support and a strong upward movement then invest and if like 100s of new project they were moving sideways or dropping like a stone because they were listed on an exchange and miners were dumping, then don't invest in them.

this way you are still making profit but are relatively safe. also you should make sure to think about planning on selling them immediately after buying. most people invest and then sit around and start wishing for profit. decide on a price to sell and make damn sure to sell.

I think that this is good advice + don't invest anything you can't afford to lose. ICOs are exciting but high-risk.

If you are planning to invest in ICOs I think the best approach is the shotgun approach, invest in many ICOs a small amount of money, those that flop will be losses but you are bound to get a few right then you need to hold until you get earnings.

Actually all coins are 50/50 and is possible to flop if the developer wants to, same as with bitcoin it has a possibility it will flop too. You just have to choose the best coins currently that have projects and are progressing when investing in them.
