of course a good investor will first do its own research (whitepaper, roadmap and etc), besides that what is your biggest motivation?
I’m not going to lie, whenever I’m checking all these I first of all check who they are partnering with, that first will tell me whether they are legit or not, cause I prefer to go for those that are partnering with big names. Apart from that, the next thing I do is check their team, but before I do that I might have first done a research with Google and check what people has to say about it through the reviews I’m seeing online.what interest me is the capital behind the project because if theres no capital most likely you will lose your investment.
You’re right. Capital is very important though that is not something I would like to check first, I would rather check the team behind the project and their partnerships with other people, individuals and companies and if those are the big names, then I’m okay. But you know what? This topic just don’t make sense, cause you can’t just check one thing and leave the rest lol. You must check every thing about that particular project to be sure it’s legit. So all of them are very important.
