Do your research! Intro to Crypto Investing

in #cryptocurrency8 years ago (edited)

As you search for your next crypto investment, I highly recommend visiting coincheckup.com. This is an amazing resource for new investors looking to find out more about a particular coin. Everything I mention in this post can usually be found here!

As both a developer and investor I am interested in the success of cryptocurrencies. However, there are tons of scams out there trying to take advantage of inexperienced investors in a nascent market. Like most of you, I want only the genuinely awesome, value-providing, and profitable companies to succeed in this space.

These are the steps I personally take when I am researching a new investment opportunity:

  1. Visit website and read white-paper.
  • Is the project interesting/unique?
  • Is it attempting to solve a real problem in a unique/better way than others?
  • Is it realistic?
  1. Follow development/business team
  • Who is in charge? What is his/her experience and track record?
  • Who is on the dev team? What is their track record on past projects?
  1. Evaluate current state of project
  • Is there a working MVP in production?
  • Is there a clear direction and future goal?
  • Is there a detailed roadmap that is routinely updated as progress is made?
  • Is progress being made in a reasonable amount of time, or is it dragging behind?
  1. Examine Brand awareness and community interest
  • Who are the competitors?
  • Is there a strong community, and does the business/dev team communicate openly within it?
  • Is the code open source?

Thanks for reading!
