Cryptocurrencies consist of digital tokens, including Bitcoin ($BTC ), Ethereum ($ETH ), and many other alternative coins (altcoins). Around 19,000 cryptocurrencies exist today, and all of them require to go through a filter, so we make sure we invest in the right token.
There are thousands of cryptocurrencies, and not all of them provide utility. Weather its blockchain-based utility or real-life utility. In order to make our investment safe and secure, we are going to invest in projects that are promising so you can invest with more confidence.
Here’s how to evaluate cryptocurrencies:
1. Check projects website
A good project has a website. You need to check if the website is up to date and easy to use. Make sure that the website is simple and there are no spelling or other errors. Secondly, the project should disclose the team members and their partnerships. Most importantly, the website should clearly define the token’s objective and offer a white paper.
2. Read the white paper.
White paper plays a major role in evaluating the cryptocurrency, as it is the backbone of the project proposal. It is a document that outlines the goals and strategies for the cryptocurrency’s usage. White paper serves as a road map of a particular token in which there are details of the tokenomics of a coin. Reading the white paper gives clarity of the project.
3. Look over social media channels.
Most cryptocurrencies have social media accounts such as X (Twitter), Reddit, and Discord channels. Use these social media to gain insight into the crypto community. Consider looking at the number of followers and interaction in the comment section. If the community moderators are active and participating in the discussion and answering relevant questions, consider it a good sign. If community moderators are ignoring the questions and answering rudely, consider it a bad sign. Moreover, stay away from the projects that are spammy in their sales approach, as strong projects would avoid such a strategy.
4. Project team and partnerships
If the team members of a cryptocurrency are renounced, the project gets more likely to get successful. Find the names of the founders and team members of the project and do research on them to determine whether they are reputable personalities or scammers. Apart from the project team, take a glance at the list of partnerships for that cryptocurrency. Look for WEB2 partners like Google (GOOG), Amazon (AMZ), IBM (IBM), and more. If there are WEB3 projects like Binance Labs Fund, Animoca Brands, Paradigm, etc. Bigger the brand, more credible the coin
5. Utility of a cryptocurrency
Not all cryptocurrencies serve a practical purpose. We look for coins that offer utility in the blockchain ecosystem. In the blockchain ecosystem, the coin project tends to solve network issues and enhance functionality.
For example, Solana ($SOL ) servers a blockchain on which many businesses depend. NFT projects and many smart contracts are running on the Solana blockchain.
There are many more things to look at, but there are the main factors to evaluate cryptocurrencies before buying.
