Topic: How to Study any Altcoins before Investment - page 2. (Read 522 times)

Very important whitepapers and time, time shows whether the project can calmly experience the waves in the market and keep afloat.

good list. also you can look which exchanges listed than coin. for good grown up coin in most cases it should be at least 1 of top 10 exchanges.

Your outlines are good and helpful. Another important point to look into is the roadmap. The roadmap is as important as the whitepaper of that coin. Before investing into the altcoin, you will need to see if the developing team has been following the laid down programmes as planned and this needs to be checked for consistency. I always believe that a good project will be known to follower her words as pronounced. Even if there will be any different, it should not be that obvious, but for a total bridge of contract by the project is what i will never go for.

Make sure you know the technology, the vision behind it, it's implementations and future projects. Transparency is a huge factor.

most of them already in the list you mentioned.
and it is true, before starting invest should have to know the basic theory first and then practice it

I would perhaps suggest that you should not do any investment when you lack the knowledge about cryptocurrencies and it's like jumping on an airplane without a parachute where you will be surely losing yourself in the end. Learning to understand about cryptocurrencies is very important if you are an investor in particular like you should know what is happening in the cryptomarket where you should study and analyze the choice of coins which you think is a promising one. Go to coinmarketcap where all the corresponding alts are shown with it's respective price value and price charts that may help you study the market trend. Lastly, consider the whitepaper on each coin and it's blockchain technology to be part of your research in choosing the best probable alts for investment.

There are many aspects of a project to consider. While the suggestion n contributions given above WIll help n guide you, you still have to do a personal research to know what to look for in a project. There are tons of information on the internet. Seek them out.

All these info after available within a click away. The most important thing is hype and marketcycle. Hype is definitely an important factor at least for the short term gains. Analysing market cycle is a good thing because you must not trade against the ongoing trend.

Once you already know more about the terminologies and meanings such as market cap, circulating supply, volume (24Hr) you must also study the choice altcoins that you should consider for your investment. Is the project good? Does it have transparency update to the investors? Also, check for the chart if this is, in such terms, doing good like the direction of the price value is progressively increasing. Henceforth, these considerations should be given importance in making your investments.

Technology they are using
Social Presense
Exchange they are listed
Many exchange list coin after full verification.

These are some points you need to consider

These are my criteria:

- Premined or not?

Premined coins are too suspicious. The devs take an initial big slice for themselves always justifying that with some philosophical rhetoric but there are many past examples of total scam coins using this scheme. 

- ICO or no ICO?

I don't like ICOs, I prefer to invest in an already ongoing project with given proof of stability and endurance. I'm not saying all ICOs are scams, but same of them are for sure!

- How old is the coin?

In my book, if a coin is still being actively traded after 3/4 years of existence, this has to mean something; there is a faithful community behind it.

- Is it still being actively developed?

Following the previous point, if after 3/4 years the coin still has a dev team committed to it with real plans for the future, then it has a real project!

- Does it have any real use besides pure pump and dump speculation?

Is the coin being used for any kind of purchases? If not, are there any plans for it? Otherwise, it will only be a play toy for trading.

- Does it have an active and large community?

How large is the community? Is it still active or everybody left a long time ago?

- Is it PoW of PoS?

Proof of Work is a dead end, the power consumption is obscene. Not viable for the average domestic crypto enthusiast. Proof of Stake can be done with a Rasberry Pi

- Fully functioning wallet?

Some coins have terrible wallets, unstable, not user friendly. This is a key factor, the software has to be in line with the state of the art crypto developments.

- What is the current marketcap?

A coin already above 100mil might not be the best bet if you can find a good one below 100 mil with a good growth perspective.

- What is the current/total coin supply?

Scarcity might prove to be an added value in the long run if you are planning to hold a coin and leave it for your kids!

I think you may add the people behind the project development, the devs and theier updates. They should be active in informing their clients investor and supporters in twitter, telegram and website or any social means to reach them.

Before investing your altcoin you should learn what investment instruments you will invest in accordance with the funds of the instrument, Calculate the potential benefits, duration, and risk levels. There are also easy investment instruments and some are more difficult that require more in-depth technical analysis.

you should know who is the team member behind the coin,,
is the developer and others team good and professional people that will always keep in development,
so, the coin project do what in the roadmap said

You summarized it right, there is not much to include. I think most important thing to do is reading whitepapers and understanding the idea behind the project. Second is technology they are using and the business area they are promising to participate. Lastly, their community support shouldn't be overlooked.

You want to do your research and due diligence on the integrity of the business model and execution team before investing.  Check out the ICO for RLCoin, an enterprise solution for loyalty: www.rlcoin.io.  The product has existing traction with 250 clients and partners in Europe and Asia.

Yes need also to take study the price of what you invest, because you need to make big profit to make sucessful.

The concept of and product involved, the team and advisors,all of these and the above mentioned can determine a good Altcoin investment.

But also need to make research also to make more idea and strategy you applay.
