Christ, I completely forgot to get back to this thread, I am sooo sorry!!! I wanted to research his employer because they looked like they were doing something I am working on (investment safety in dogotal currencies, ie. new crypto models that are harder to get scammed by) and well I wanted in lol. Turns out they are a very closed circle of investors so I can not get in even if I want. I am still researching them because I believe my roommate gave them some of my work without permision but for now this is all I know. Their website which is what my roommate is working on for them is just a page because nothing is open to outsiders. Rich people dont like to share i guess. oh well.

If anyone gets an invitation from them i would love to know more. Maybe there are some big shot investors here who are more lucky then me!

Edit: I did the research on other websites because this forum does not allow me to include the name of the company/project. They send me a very meme filled private message basically calling me a dummy for mentioning the company/project by name lol!

Gaxton Trading Firm can help you begin your journey in trading as long as you Fit our criteria. Which is this?

Thank you  for your offer, but I found one  while waiting.

As someone looking to invest wisely at this very moment, I get you worries. In other fields (I invest mainly in local tech startups) I'd say spread / diversity 100K for a few weeks/months and see what feels the most solid to work with, then drop more of your pot into those. But I am still trying to apply that philosophy to crypto and crypto-related projects, so YMMV!

This is not about investment advice, as such. But I have been itching to start investing in crypto-related projects (coin sites, NFT tech, games, etc.) and have come across a few interesting ones. The problem is, in today's world, handing over money to someone seems about as safe as throwing it from a moving car and hoping the right people catch it. I am totally okay with investments having some risk, I even like to put a bit into unlikely projects in case they take off. But I do not want to just hand some money over to a project and then realize they just ran away with it.

So my question is, how do _you_ invest in projects, regardless of the size, in ways where you feel you are not going to get outright robbed? If I want to put a few grand into Billy Bob's Crypto Cousins Emporium (not a real project...) but do not want to just hand over cash to someone in another country who then shuts down the operation and runs cackling to the bank with what was my but is now their money, what are my best options?

As I am always risk averse, I never encountered something like what you described here. I guess getting into that means that you must be trusting the people behind it and be ready that at the end you might not get anything just in case the project will not really materialized or take off. I am sure this is not something we can recommend to anybody as this involve some guts on your part. Anyway, am wishing that that project can be good months from now and you can see some profits out of your involvement.

Thx! With crypto these last months this feels a bit safer, but yeah never a guarantee!

People seem to misunderstand: We are not making a new REAL crypto, we are presenting a THEORETICAL crypto at a Digital Economics seminar. We still want it to look good enough to be real, though, so we're doing the research.

As part of the economics course I'm taking, we have been given the assignment of designing a new type of cryptocurrency, using what we are currently debating about the future of crypto. It's not going to be something to be sold, just a mock-up and functional model (the course is part of a package with programming and IT business strategies and such), so I am NOT trying to sell anything! The issue is, the field of crypto both technical and economic issues is pretty big, so I was wondering if there exist people or even forums dedicated specifically to advising on how to design new kinds of crypto?
