Topic: Is it advisable for a beginner to invest in a newly launch project? (Read 817 times)

Yes it's actually a wrong move and improper for beginner to jump into investing on new coin that he has less knowledge of, there is one thing I realize in newbie which I called newbie syndrome eager to make it faster without seeking deep knowledge in what they want to venture into,  the risk involved in the crypto space mostly newly lunched coin is not worthy advising newbie to invest on as it can rein relationship mostly if the advice come from a trusted person though I have the believe that one with good knowledge can't give such an advice in newbie to invest on new lunches coin  other BTC.

It is a very risky beginning to start the journey of cryptocurrency investing in other cryptocurrencies and not bitcoin. Most times the reason why most people found investing altcoins interesting is because since the price of these altcoins are low, they think investing in these altcoins will give them lots of profits. The mistake most people make while investing in cryptocurrency is that they only consider profit and they never think about reliability if the project they are about to invest will last or not, but what is the most important is profits.

Investing in altcoins should not be taking as a very serious thing using money that can be used in other important investment. when people decides to invest in altcoins I think it will be better if they just assume they are gambling and this should be done with money that they can afford to lose. Altcoins are very unpredictable and even if people must invest in it their is need to consider investing with the amount that you can afford to lose.

Most beginners are often tempted by other people, usually they will immediately fomo without doing research first, currently coin trading is a hype and there are many beginners who put money there in the hope that they will make money quickly, this is what will make them all lose. Therefore, before investing, make it a habit to do research first, this is very crucial, you have to know who the person behind the project is.

Exactly my thought. In order to avoid being scam and get into losses, newbies are advised to stick into bitcoin more than altcoins. But of course, research is still a must prior to investment, as bitcoin is highly risky due to its high volatility. If they are not patient enough, they won’t still be profitable in the end. Same with bitcoin, if they find interest to invest with altcoins, they should have an in-depth research first so that they’ll fall investing into the right and potential altcoins, and to avoid falling into scams and consistent losses due to wrong choice of coins.

You're right as a beginner is very good to conduct a deep research about a project before looking out to invest, this advice is not only for beginners rather is for everyone because most of those old investors often become victim to those project, due to lack of proper investigation is very good to make research mostly when it has to do with newly launch project because they're not well known and we don't even know there intentions that is why we need to be extremely careful.

Normally as a beginner before you invest on any projects you are supposed to know that the first thing for you to do is to ask questions and also do some research before you before you think of investing in a project, because what is leading some many people's today into scam is lack of proper investigation once they hear about investment their head will full that they are going to be a Billionaire in the next few years, that's why they normally fall victims into the hands of scammers.

I would say they should not but considering their crypto experience, therefore, they must act cautiously. They should not invest and follow what these influencers are saying but rather urge themselves to research.
These are the reasons why they should act smartly;
 - most new projects are scams and have no working product
 - not listed in any exchange, a thing that has to be considered as well

In general, the risk is too high than buying old projects, and less confidence that we can get ROI. Sweet promises like earning 1000x are not our basis for choosing but the real potential and purpose of the project.

They invest with their emotion and not with their brains. That's sad but it is the reality that we're seeing now and then because of the hyped projects that are being shilled in a lot of platforms in social medias.

We don't hear a lot of these rug pulls anymore but that doesn't mean that they're gone away. But we can all speculate and expect that many of them will come back once the market has already shown that we're in an actual bull run.

I guess that they're just conserving their energy and will show in a blast.

Beginner in crypto? Exactly, not advisable and not recommended.
Usually, when newcomers enter the world of cryptocurrency and make their first purchase on a new project, and the project is very hyped, they just become victims of FOMO. Who in fact don't really understand investment in crypto and don't even know what it's all about? .

Especially in new projects, they can become victims of the sweet promises of the promoters, military or developers themselves to invest in the project. And in the end, they can become victims of scam projects, rug pulls, and also various other shit projects which are always the way they are.

That's why, let alone newbies, those who have been around for a long time often become victims of such projects. That's why you have to be really careful when choosing a project. Especially if you're new, if you don't understand it yet, just skip it. Just look for top coins that are clearer.

You know that newbies mentality, like they literally believes most of the things they see on social media because that is exactly where to get them and they even become more interested when others starts hyping the project forgetting to know that some of the people that hype this projects are just doing so to gain their attention.

Inasmuch as I know, there are very few projects that promises free airdrops and huge profits or their ability to double your investment and those type of projects are not even rampant because if more people get involved it will be a huge loss on their end so the ones that receives too much hype are mostly fake and scam projects but however, be it newbies or anyone that is investing on newly launched projects should be able to risk what they can lose without regrets so that incase it didn't work they can bear the loss. I know that every investment has it's own risk but it's better to venture into a project that have stood the test of time rather than a newly launched project.

The problem is most newbies start with altcoins. Probably because they see a new altcoin trending and most people they know are involved with it. Even the ones who aren't interested become interested when they begin to hear success stories, they'll be tempted to be involved.
I'm frequent on Twitter and at every given time there's one coin trending or the other. What's funny is that most of these trending coins end up the same way.
I don't advise people to mess with altcoins, most newbies. It's best to always stick to bitcoin, if anybody must invest in altcoins, they should make sure they know what they're doing.

An influential person will only benefit in newly created project if they participated in promoting the project through Airdrop if you have good community, yet, that is not a reason for not losing money into new projects because we have seen several influencers lose money on a project they invested in and promoted which end up in a scam.

As a beginner without knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency should avoid new projects because they can get scammed in any way. Beginners should only focus on Bitcoin for now before getting to know and understand altcoins.

if you are someone who has influence then you will easily make big profits in a new project because you can attract other people to join the new project, but if you are a new person who has absolutely no influence and is just a hope then don't try to invest in a new token project once.  There are a lot of considerations you have to make, especially since the money you have is not money that you can easily get, don't do it because you are too enthusiastic, you will only end up being deceived.

Op, I think you are referring to Ponzi investment cause it mostly happen there I can remember when money making machine that is MMM came out people where rushing to invest in it without asking themselves questions cause  it was paying them thereby sending a conviction to them and outside people ( those that are yet to invest) that it is a legit project till an extent the team acquired what they need and then ran with most peoples money. Sometimes people are so blind with what they are seeing making  them not to see the rare of that particular thing  that is why people became prey to scammers and most times even newbie and old investor fall victim because of greed.

A beginner is a novice in any investment and at such much is not expected from them, novice do not actually understand an investment immediately, it takes time for them to get use to the system, so investing in a new project has many things involved, we should understand that old investors knows that some new projects can be very speculative, they understand that most speculative projects are scam and immediately they make more research to ascertain the authenticity of the project before they can confidently invest in it but in the case of beginners is not like that, beginners may not know where to start from, hence they are not conversant with the system, they might end up making quick decisions that may lead them to loss, so in my opinion, I will say that it is not ideal for a novice, beginner or whatever we chose to call them to invest in new project unless they have a good counselor that can put them through on how to go about the project.

Newbies without experience in cryptocurrency should humbly focus on Bitcoin investment, when they've increased their knowledge and gained enough experience about how altcoins work, then they can start to invest with the amount that they can afford to loose. Bitcoin investment doesn't require any research before investing in it because it has proven to be the most reputable cryptocurrency, you don't need to fear whether it's a scam project or become a shitcoin in the future, but many altcoins are scams, that is why investors should go for reputable top altcoins, and if they want to go for new projects, they should first research the projects, even at that they're still risky.

I also believe that bitcoin should be the first investment needed to go by newbies since this is the safest asset they could acquire since this is reliable compared to new project where usually everything there is fast so the chance for them to get scam is so high. There's a lot of things they could learn on bitcoin especially if they want to trade it or either hold it also for sure they can learn a lot of things on bitcoin that can help them to became more better or knowledgeable investor.

Altcoins is famous thru newbies since there are lots of people try to lure them there especially on meme coin investment, that's why they need to take proper precaution and if they can ask someone reliable or have a lot of experience on crypto then do that since seeking for multiple information is helpful and they could figure out that altcoin investment is indeed really risky and avoid it especially if they don't have solid knowledge about this tokens.

All beginners should start from investing in Bitcoin and getting to understand Bitcoin before looking at other options just for gambling purposes only because that's what altcoins are here for. They shouldn't be taken as longer term investment options but for short term speculating. Altcoins especially the new projects can't be trusted because even those that you think have a bright future can end shortly due to greed from the developers or poor management form those incharge of the project and the project becomes forgotten too quickly. Altcoin market is a risky one but with experience you can get a better result which is why you have to first understand how the market operates before adventuring into them or better still focus on accumulating Bitcoin.


It's newer project that brings the most newbie into the industry, I have seen people that know nothing about cryptocurrency entirely but got introduced to the industry because of a new project either from airdrop or investing. Alot of the new projects are doing more of social media marketing campaign and they're getting interested from those that believe in what they say in their marketing message without knowing those words are mainly there for marketing purposes. Newbie mostly invest blindly so it'll be difficult to stop them from believing in new projects especially those that promise them unrealistic promises like turning their small investment into a massive profits.

It depends on what kind of new project you are investing because you can use VC and other private investors as reference on how legitimate the project is since this huge funding company will never invest on scammy project due to the amount of money involved.

We can use Celestia(TIA) as reference for new project that becomes successful by having a strong VC supporting their fundings during the initial phase of project development. There’s a lot of project like this that has a very good run since the initial listing on exchange.

But ofc there’s tons of scam projects that’s why we need to filter them using the most common sign of legit project.

It is true that investing in Newly Launched project is very difficult to get profit because in today's most of them are scammer. But I also thought that if we not give the chance to a new project then how will we find the next bests. But I think investing in new coming project should be lower in starting.
