I think when you start investing cryptocurrency, you have to research that coin. Many people only think about how to make money quickly. That was a big mistake.

It will be very difficult to determine which coins will be able to survive in this bear market, even the top 5 coinmarketcap cannot be your reference to invest because they can experience a sudden decline especially those who always follow bitcoin.

Is there really a way to determine what all projects/coins will survive? I wish to invest now but I am really skeptical. Does the 'top 5-10' rule always work?Is it advisable to follow this rule blindly?

For a wise trader he will go with top coins but if youre a risk taker and want to earn bigger profits? Then I'll wider the horizon and comfort zone Ive been playing. What I meant is, go deeper on many altcoins to find a good project. The world of cryptocurrency is big and there are lots of good fish waiting to be catch. But if youre already fine with the whales youre seeing on the ocean you cannot extend and make a bigger gains along the way. Too many projects that Ive missed are high enough and prove how newbie I am and I keep looking for those potential projects.

With this bearish market performance, it is really difficult to guess which is the best cryptos therefore i suggest to choose the top 5 - 10 Cryptos lead by BTC and ETH as they have already proven effective for a long term investments. Although the market price is really unpredictable but choosing the top ranked cryptos will lessen the chances of losing your capital but there is a high chances that they will make your money grow.

If it is a normal market situation, investors may base on factors such as the popularity when choosing a coin thayt will be surely increasing from dumps. But since abnormality on the downfall in the market is present, it is hard for the majority of cryptos to recover and have a price increase at times like this.

At least, if you see a coin position at 5-10 I can be sure that those are safe coins to choose as an investment place. In the top 1-10 position, we can be sure that the coin has a large market capitalization, and we can be sure that there will be many investors in it.

However, it only ensures a safe place to invest, but to ensure that the coin has great potential, I am not able to ascertain it, because it could be that the altcoin which is ranked 100-500 has good potential in the future.

Actualy it would be hard to determine which one would be able to withstand thr bearish market. The negative market behavior pulls down the outcome of the projects since it is highly influential. Nowadays, despite of the potential of the projects, it is being negatively affected by the scenario which results to ICO failures or no progress at all for the prkject itself. So to make it short, it would be really hard to determine.

It'll be much safer if you invest in high rank cryptocurrencies only. But it'll be find to invest in other cryptocurrencies out of top 100 on CMC if you know how to check to see if it's a good cryptocurrency or not. For me, I don't have much experience so I just wanna invest in high rank cryptocurrencies Smiley. But if you wanna know if any coin or project will survive or not, I think you should check trading volume and upcoming event.

for me how I determine the project will survive in the bear market is about how the relationship between the developer & the communities it self, for me that is the most important. and again how our project are make development in this bear market, infact that most of project are trough trugle in this bearish condition but I believe the great project will be survive by communities & developer.

It is very hard but if you are talking about existing coins/tokens better go with the safe ones like the top 10 in cmc for a long term hold but there are also some who are being manipulated by pump and dump groups that's why beware as well. For incoming projects, it is not advisable since most of them will not succeed in this kind of situation even though you did all the research.

I think its depends on their product and they still keep on track. If they have the real usecase i think they can survive the bear market. Not too much supply coins/token can help them. and its not a MN coin. then i think they can survive. at least they price wont be a free fall. But if we say that coin price never going down then i think we cant find that type of coin.

To determine the success of a project or coin on the market, one needs to study the project by reading the information presented on the whitepaper and the website. Is the idea or product of the coin in demand and capable of attracting investors? Visit the telegram group of the project to see how large, strong, powerful and supportive the community members are to the project. Remember, the success of every crypto project is partly from the support from its community.

Don't invest if you haven't found the coin that you have the heart to hold and invest your money with.

You can check the charts and community for that coin and see on how much support it is getting from the community. And if the chart gives you how stable it is during the bear then you can consider it.

Top 5 to 10 means that the crypto projects have a strong community and project team behind them and are "generally accepted" by the entire crypto community.

No it doesn't. The top 10 includes BCH, EOS and USDT. All three of these coins are complete trash and largely shunned by everyone other than shills and newbies.

BCH only had value as a fork of BTC. It's supposed "0.1" ratio to bitcoin is in free fall, and is currently sitting at 0.066. The only people still talking about this coin are bagholders. EOS is a centralized scam. It's "project team", as you put it, all took their profits from the ICO and then abandoned ship. USDT is in the process of imploding, with a loss of over $1 billion in marketcap over the last few weeks. It's a stablecoin that isn't stable.

Top 10 might mean that your project is strong, or it might just mean that it was successfully shilled to many naive newbies.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...
the only way a project can actually survive in the long run is if it has real intrinsic value. otherwise when the project is purely based on speculation and pump and dump that means it has no intrinsic value and it will never survive the long run.
these cons may get pumped after the long dump but that is a diminishing trend like a downward spiral which will eventually lead to the death of the project.

It looks like a lot of altcoins in the top 5-10 are being exposed as over bought. Just look at how Ethereum suffered, or XRP, beginning of the year they have enjoyed all-time-high but after that dumps after dumps of those coins causing the price to really plummet.

How to determine is not the question, but how those coins are going to stand out in the bear market. This is a difficult time, actually its a struggle and no matter how many good news comes in, investors are not buying because they know that its very volatile plus they are really getting smarter. No more bagholders, its sort of hit-and-run attitude. If they see a good profit then they will immediately sold-off. The only coins worth noting though is Bitcoin or even Monero which has been steadily doing good at this bear market.

find out which ones will survive or even thrive is a hard thing to do. see what lies behind the coin or the project may be a good thing to do but even this is not necessarily the guarantee could be especially in conditions like this time crypto. look to the top 5-10 could be a safe thing that might at least have to try while selecting and identifying others.

It's a unpredictable market and the project will depends on the development of the team. Although if you want to invest you should choose those coins at the top 10 rank as those has proven that can bounce back after the fall. Every investment has a risk and you need to take it if you want to gain something.

It is not a question that we can answer directly because the legitimacy and the potential of the project determines how it can survive the hard days of crypto currency.If you are going to be a long term investor I want you to learn the first rule that never expect any return from your investment or just go for the already available coins because 9 out of 10 ICOs in the year of 2018 got failed and the other thing is that remember how to check the reputation of the project team,which may give idea about their project as well.

No one survives the bear market. Bitcoin was $20k and now it is 6.5k (which is still great compared to others. Nano was 37 dollars now it is 2 dollars, ethereum was $1.5k and more now its 200 dollars, dash was $1.5k dollars now it is 156 dollars, spectre was 6 dollars now its 20 cents. Honestly there is absolutely no a single coin that didn't lose value in the past year, if you are looking for something that didn't changed in price to low than you should put your money into tether (which is a scam token and that even dropped in price recently).

If you want to have to freedom and profits of a cryptocurrency you need to take the risks and stress of cryptocurrency as well, there is no free money and noone gives you freedom, you have to work for your money and take your freedom.

I agree...the problem is to find the new coin that can do a big % of price grow...we must look for coins that are not ico or bounty but people are too stupid for this....I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anneli-elicoin-cpu-mining-only-exchange-available-3028302... people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers

There's just no way in telling whether it will survive. Some fundamental charactersicts are found in a good project that keeps moving but sometimes even after doing all the right things, projects die. Initially, we can look for proper business model, good innovations, strong community and development support in that particualr project. Then, it has to be popular among crowd when it's up and running. And it always has to be legit.

There are no easy way for that but you need to look projects community hype and their roadmap.
I think that two thing is the most important thing about icos. If a project is not good surely community will not support that coin.
With good roadmap that coin will have some hype's in the future. So you can not fully predict about coins future but at least you can try to understand these important things.

Even the top five to ten altcoins are not resistant to any present or future bear market. The advantage they may have is that they have higher chance of growing back to their previous highs than other altcoins.

To select the most reliable coins should go to the top coinmarketcap . They have the greatest chance to survive in a bear market , natoria of them is btc and eth . When choosing ico project for investment, you should carefully examine his white paper , how good his team is and whether it has a real product. But keep in mind that bear market is not the best time to invest in ico .

The main fundamentals that play a role in the survivability of a coin or project is the idea behind it, the team and how strong they are, community support. If all of those points have a good sturdy foundtation even in a bare market situation they'd be able to maintain themselves and wait for a change in the market to make the most out of their project and coin in terms of profit.

It is very difficult for us to say who will survive. or who will be stable in the market at bear season.
There are some who are still dumping even they have a great project in this world.
IT is up to the team how they will keep their tokens and project busy in the market to keep the demand from the people.
At bear market the big issue is how a token can keep the price stable or even rising a little.

Following points to be observed to determine projects/Coins/ Token will survive the bear market.
1) Community Supports :- Check their social media higher the number of followers higher the support of community & also observe engagement of the project with the community on update of the project as well as upcoming development such as test-net, main-net, listing on new exchange, partneship etc
2) Liquidity on Exchange :- Thanks to the bear market lot of tokens & coins shown their true colours & their liquidity on exchange drooped significantly, which is sign of failed project such as Biotron. Don't invest in projects which have lower liquidity as we cannot predict the future of this project & we can say investors don't trust this projects.

    Market is Volatile , unpredictable, market movement on the price value of its coins is gone crazy, you need a lot of time for a market research to determined if one coin could handle the beating of the market, if the platform, white paper, the road map, market structure, marketing strategy is good, the fundamentals, the market support system is intact and stable then i would say, it will survive the Bear market.

In a worst situation and newly formed projects can get hampered a lot with this. Because they are new and they have no volume as such in the start period. With the time, bear market can worsen this situation for them and thus things can go wrong with it.
I believe that its mostly bitcoin on what other markets are dependent really. Whenever bear trends starts to follow then BTC is the one who gets down first and then all other altcoins. The only coins that survive this after shock is the one with huge volume. So look after the volume and nothing else.

       No one can guarantee that a certain ICO project will survive on this bear market. However, there are some details that you need to keep in mind when choosing to invest in a project and that can increase your chances of trust in a project. Very important is the experience of the project team members and the experience of the co-advisers. Another detail is the fluency of the whitepaper ideas and the professional promotion of the project. These details are very important and we need to take them into account when choosing a project. We can not pick at random, because there are many projects that will not survive the bear market.

Depends on the projects actually. Let say the project has a marketing strategy on his sleeve then it will work out well. Take a look for example digitex exchange. Usually, if the project MVP doesnt launch yet, you need to have a gimmick on how investors will take a look of what your concept about. They launch a worldwide referral for new users and that is actually good to raise awareness. I can see why their token price gain above its initial price.

Do own research about the project and see the future plan of their project because crypto is about future.
Right now people are just using crypto for trading but i'm sure in the future it will be a global payment

There are a lot of different factors of searching a coin, that will give your profit even on the bearish market. I recommend to select a coin, that already has a working product and is not in the developing stage. Just find out what coin do you like the most. Moreover I would invest some funds in ETH and BTC as well.

You are right mate, just have a look at XRP and EOS how is improving in this bearish market. Most of them assume themselves as they will get profit only in the Bull run, Well this coins are good examples for a belief I Guess.

There are various reasons for causing a certain altcoin to die. And we can not anticipate it to avoid it. But choosing the top altcoin will help us limit such risks and choosing the altcoin in the top 10 is always right

funny you should ask since the top X coins are actually not good projects at all. for example take 3 examples from the top 10 coins. ETH, XRP and BCH. all three of them are terrible projects. they are all centralized and useless. ETH is bloated, and filled with ICO scams and is only alive because it is pumped. XRP is not even used anywhere apart from exchanges and BCH is the creation of Roger Ver to make money nothing else.

Add in USDT and EOS to your list. Tether is currently imploding, it is probably not actually backed by USD as is claimed, its market cap is falling, it is still trading below $1, and there is still not even a hint of an external audit. EOS is a centralized scam, rampant with corruption and vote collisions, that exists only to rip off and steal from investors and make money for the 21 Block Producers.

In fact, of the top 10 coins, the only ones I would be buying right now are Bitcoin and Monero.

I like to apply the same basic principles to everything to simplify decisions. Anything, including a project or coin, will survive if it is legitimately solving a problem for a large amount of people. Even if that is just providing efficiency, security and assurance in transactions, that is a problem that still has yet to be solved. No one wants to lose money inside or outside the crypto world either to hackers or banks.

If you are really skeptical than let your skepticism do its thing - learn the project and the team thoroughly. If we are talking about altcoins with small cap that is the way to figure out which of them will got something to boast on on a distance and will show greatest results when bull market will come(because people will left useless coins to promising ones).
Or you can invest in top-20. They are "too-big-to-bankrupt". Diversifying will help. But don't expect fast huge return on investment in that case.

My suggestion to you is if you are skeptic investing now then dont force youself. Study before putting your money between the line, there are certain ways to know what coin you would like to invest but right now there isnt a sureball.

There is no proven formula to find that out. I guess you should spend alot of time here and then follow your instincts. Other then that there is no guarantee even that itself is no guarantee. You need to have luck on your side to get it right also.

I think it's really hard to to get assurance with regards to picking the right ICO for your investment and participation on bounty campaign. I would suggest that before participating into an ICO, you need to do a thorough research where you need to consider checking the project  team members, whitepaper where all the necessary information of the project is stipulated and the bounty manager with good reputation with a higher rank. With these considerations, I believe you may had selected a good and promising ICO in the market.

Is there really a way to determine what all projects/coins will survive? I wish to invest now but I am really skeptical. Does the 'top 5-10' rule always work?Is it advisable to follow this rule blindly?
the market can change at any time and the top 5 or top 10 coins do not guarantee that you will get profit in the near future. but if you want to hold it in the long term, then the top 10 coins are the best choice than you invest in ico or other shitcoin.

well maybe what you say is true, I often buy coins when ICO is blind and the results I often lose or lose up to 10x of the capital price because when openmarket is very far from the price of ico

Whenever you want to invest into any project or coin, first, make a research on th team and try to confirm they are real and they are truly those said to be behind the project. Be very sure it has a good usecase by reading the whitepaper and ask questions for where evidences or proofs of some certain things are needed. Be sure that the project does not have any false claim.
The project must have a good community and there must be free flow and sufficient response between the project team and the community.

It doesn't, the top coins will always follow bitcoin and you can't expect a lot from there. I tell you an example just like EIDO you can try to track the chart and it's survive even in the bearish market because the developer was actively trying to find a new innovation and this time they are working on the crypto backed by gold after created a fully working hybrid exchange site.

There are a lot of different factors of searching a coin, that will give your profit even on the bearish market. I recommend to select a coin, that already has a working product and is not in the developing stage. Just find out what coin do you like the most. Moreover I would invest some funds in ETH and BTC as well.

we see from the whitepaper process where there is an io bond or not from the project. if there is io from the project, then we monitor the project, whether it is in demand or not, this is my opinion, how do you think ??

Well, it's difficult. Basically good idea + good (active, working, delivering!) team + useful niche for the project are a pretty good start for your research.
Of course, checking for fake team, copied whitepaper or whitepaper full of bombastic claims with no substance will rule out some scams.

If all this is met, it's a race of luck. I've seen very good projects which are still at a very low value. I've seen not-so-great projects that were going very good last year.
And here is the point to diversify. If you pick a number of projects, some may fall, some may get big and hopefully you'll get rich.

However, this are some common sense guidelines (imho) and by far not financial advises I should held responsible if you follow them and you still don't get rich. Decide for yourself if and where to invest and, in crypto, never invest more than you afford to lose. It's still ranked as a high risk investment...
