Curious to know how everyone finds and learns about all different sorts of altcoins. I personally go onto coinmarketcap and just find a random coin, and then research it's name on google. How do you do it?
The best way to learn about other crypto currencies is to read in bitcoin forum. In bitcoin forum, you will find many articles relating new crypto currencies, their bounty campaigns, etc. Also, referring coin market cap is a good idea. You can choose any random coin from it and do research on it and check the website of the particular projects.
Also on coinmarketcap.com you get to know the history of a particular coin, on what exchanges it is listed and what is its trading volume, etc. You can also join telegram groups of top exchanges, people there usually discuss about new crypto currencies in the market and whether they have potential and must be bought or not.
