Topic: Investments guide (Read 887 times)

No good centralized service will provide unbiased info. I suggest you read the biased opinions of many and figure it out.

Just an opinion of mine, but diversify your portfolio into the 3 different mining families - ASIC, GPU, and CPU mined coins. I feel like this will give you extremely unique coins in terms of coding. 40% BTC, 30% LTC, and 30% QRK fits this perfectly. You have two conservative coins, and QRK which is a high risk/high reward coin that you can invest into while the Quark marketing foundation does all the leg work with development.

Foundations = best indicator for marketing (except in Doge's extremely decentralized marketing campaign)

At the beginning of the every analysis there is statement: Every coin is scam coin

Now you can continue further.

Make your own decisions based on your own thoughts. The idea of guy which will tell you which coin will gain x1000 is silly.

The problem with investment guides is its usually written by people with their own self interest in mind.

I state my bias where it is applicable - you really shouldn't ask for more than that. If someone is recommending an altcoin to you and claims to have no bias, that should set alarm bells ringing. Better to know the authors bias and take it into account.

I actually found your thread and it gave me the idea to post this one.
What concernce me a bit is how biased you are to make this thread as it may be a way to promote your own 2 coins (I do not say this is 100% true), but this is quite possible.
Anyway, I am closely following it and I am congrating you on the efforts you put into it. However, I think a "question 4" shall be added to the model, regarding marketing.

- I look at the fundamentals here. Mostly these coins are ignored by the pump'n'dump crowd for the reasons outlined above.

Its not kinda random, it has it own rules.

rule n. 1 - pumpers never pump anything what has some innovation and trust. Just because these coins are held by too many competitors eating profit from any pump action

rule n- 2 - fair distribution is the enemy of gaining value. The whole crypto scene is one big front running.

rule n. 3 - when 100 people lie about profit, it will gain a value no matter how stupid the growth is. Self realizing predictions. Like Joseph Goebbels said - 100 times repeated lie will get true.

rule n. 4 - everything is hardly speculative and out of any regulation. Wild west.

My opinion is that everything is kinda random. I often see a new alt and decide that it's a retarded clone and that I won't mine it. And I'm very surprised to see that shitty clone coin with good price and volumes on exchanges!

I would also be careful not to judge a coins potential value purely by its technical innovation. An alt coin's success depends on several factors: it needs a dedicated development team (where I'd include innovation), a well planned marketing strategy and an enthusiastic community supporting it. You may find that certain alt coins that are just copies of Litecoin may do very well in attracting people by implementing a heavy marketing campaign while other more innovative coins may fail because they don't have a sales-oriented attitude and a poor community backing it. It's truly hard to find the right investment, hence why it's important to do one's own due diligence. Just my 2 satoshis.

This can apply to the copycats which are differing from each other just by logo, name, and total supply.
That's why asked for argumentation behind the advises, because coins like NXT for example are totally different and may be worth investing in.
But the goal is to keep an eye to the whole scene all day long, put away the 99% crap, and select the trully different coins...

i donot believe that it is easy.

but trust me people with cryptocurrency, somehow are small group and they know what gonna happen. and i believe that many create coins just to earn money at the beginning..

with that i mean that noway to trust anyone... rumor says "bad coin"-> none mining, coin difficulty falls, they mine massive coins and then new rumor "amazing coin bla bla" and then price goes up and sell their massivee coins...

With all these newn coins, coming out each day, it is impossible for one to track all them and clear the 99% rubish from the real valued once, which are brining some tech innovations and may be a worth investment, for example, NXT, Emunie, Ethereum, etc... (Note, I am not pointing these out as I am sure that they are worh investment, I am pointing them at just as an example which at least claims to provide something new and exciting, and if accomplished in a proper way and if the coin devs do not turn out to be a scammers, may turn into an investment with a huge potentional return). Same applies also just for coins which bring nothing new to the scene, just like DOGE, but which have a strong community and marketing behind them.

I am looking for a service or a single guy, probably paid for this work, which is constantly tracking the newly created alts and can advise few of them which are believed by it/him, to be a strong potentional +EV investment. I am looking for something like this (in an expected way for a model): http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/invest-trade-cryptocurrencies/ however, for some reasons, I can not belive this service can convince me to buy it.
I would like to get *selective, not massive* alarms when a new strong potentional alt is detected as an investment, with a detailed motivation and explanation behind the advise.
This service can be a service like the one I poninted out, or a memeber of this forum.
I am looking both for free and paid options. Can someone help me with this?
