Topic: How is established the value of a new coin ? (Read 346 times)

I'll try to answer some of your questions

What makes a coin valuable is really the perception of the community about it's value along with the various features a coin has to offer. I mean coins with innovative coins like Nxt (Guess we all know that one) or Vertcoin (Asic/GPU resistance) will onviously be seen as coins with a future since they are offering something new to the scene of cryptocurrencies.

Establishing it's value vs BTC/LTC is based on numerous factors, some of them are the price the cummunity is willing to pay for the coin. Another factor is the amount of coins in distribution, a coin 10 billion coins in circulation will obviously be worth les as a coin with 10 million coins and the same features.

Getting listed on exhanges is about getting votes on their forums and establishing a trade volume, this is because a coin needs to be profitable for an exchange aswell (trade fees).
Another factor in getting listen on an exchange is, in some cases i might add, bribing. Some exhanges are willing to take coins on their website in return for a share of the devolopers/community's coins.

Adoption of a coin is mainly a community thing, when certain people spread the word about a coin and get more people involved in a coin it'll be an upward trend from that point on. Those new people will also tell their friends/families about the coins and before you know it you've got a flourishing community around your coin
However it's also got to do with something i mentioned previously, innovative features. when a coin is launched as 'another clone' it'll be alot harder to find adoption for your coin as when you start up a whole new concept for a coin.

Hope this helps ,

The value of a coin is mostly tied to the size and quality of the community. The bigger the community (aka adoption) the more valuable the coin.


The markets establish the price which is based on supply and demand.


Each exchange has its own requirements. Build a strong coin and community and the exchanges will list the coin.


This is the toughest nut to crack. Marketing and timing are essential elements.


Value is always a concern. If the coin has no value, it has no reason for existing.

What make a new coin "valuable" ?
How / Who establish its value vs BTC / LTC ?
How can be listed a new coin on sites like Cryptsy, Coinex, Bter then on BTC-E, Crypto-Trade, Bitstamp, etc ?
What make people to adopt a new coin ? I mean, look at DOGE.
The persons involved in launching new coins shouldn't be worried about the "value" factor ?
