What someone should learn through his own research before investing?

[alltalk]

I know everyone has his own way in analyzing an ICO project. How he analyzes and what he analyzes, it depends on the person. But I can conclude in general about what someone should learn through his own research before investing in an ICO.

Here are the general points:

1. Learn about tokenmetrics and the marketcap (softcap/midcap/hardcap).
2. Learn the teams and advisors (ideally, it has some blockchain expertise and exposure).
3. Learn the community strength and marketing plan / strategy.
4. Learn the status of the product prototype (alpha, beta, showcase, etc.) and roadmap.
5. Learn the status of influencers (Not paid shillers).
6. Learn the communication strengths and transparency.
7. Learn whether the application is a viable one without ambitious claims.
8. Learn the whitepapaer well structured and written.
9. Learn the ecosystem and status of investors.
10. Learn whether the project really needs a cryptocurrency as a driving fuel.

You can add yourself if you have any ideas.

I agree with your opinions, in addition we can refer to information about the project team participation at crypto events around the world, such as seminars, conferences, AMAs. with crypto experts.

You just highlighted the 10 commandments of DYOR.  It's not surprising how newbies jump into projects with the hope of massive gains without proper research. Anybody can learn from this 10 points

It's a nice sharing, mate. I've used some of the points above and it works. Even if the problem is not easy to analyze, but the points are really true. Remember that never try to invest in a crypto project or buy new coins/tokens without the investigation or analysis. It is too risky and probably lost our funds forever.

Well, everyone especially new beginners should learn this analysis before investing in crypto coins. There are many newcomers investing without proper analysis. They only follow hype and FOMO, then they just got nothing except big losses. The analysis is a must before buying any crypto coins, even it is a top coin.

[H2O]

Before investing cryptocurrencies, one should deeply research and analysis about projects value, product, goal and objectives and future targets and goals, government issues and support, exchange value or acceptance, bank statements, and whitepaper.

Nowadays many projects successfully completed their ieo but when buyback they offer 100 times lower prices rate. As for example, running projects HOMT and ezystayz, they sold higher rate but buyback at lower prices rate which means a huge amount of losses.

Also learn what top projects or companies are willing to partner with the project because I believe a good partnership is an indication that the project has got a good concept that is blockchain worthy and can serve a good purpose to the general public.

Even if you know all these points. Then at the end of the ICO, you can still suffer losses. Since it is very difficult to determine whether a project is fraudulent or not.

I sincerely appreciate and agree with your informative topic. Much appreciated +1 thanks.

I think the missing point that matter the most personally is BE PATIENT.
PATIENT IS A VIRTUE. Even we execute perfectly the guidelines if we lack patience it might be void. We need Knowledge and Patience.

Thanks you! You gave very good advice for me. I think they will help me in the future and I will learn how to make the right choice when investing.

Actually there are some criteria that we should follow before investing. Never listen to others before investing. Always look for market cap and IEO price. A project with a high supply will lose its value over time. So if their IEO or ICO price is very high even they have huge supply then you should be careful. Also need to find is there any real-world case of that project or not. A token with no real-world use case has no real value.

The 10th point has always been my concern when choosing cryptocurrencies for long-term investments. I am very interested in gambling platforms, exchanges, crypto wallets and other platforms that have real products for investment, which will always make the altcoins they make to fuel those platforms, btw thanks for sharing the information.

I believe in doing due diligence in every business I find myself, not just in  crypto. It saves one a lot of grief. However these days in crypto, you find out many trustworthy projects exit scams. Examples is MiracleTele
