Value Investing vs Hype Investing Checklist

Here's my interpretation of Value Investing vs Hype Investing in Crypto Market. If you're a newbie, use the check list and define which category you belong to:-

Value Investing Checklist

1. What is the purpose of the coin/token and what problem does it solve now or in the future.

2. Who's the competitor in the Token/Coin and how their solution differs from your choice of coin/token.

3. Does the Token/Coin have a working product, if they have a product... download and test it for yourself. It does not need to be perfect, but it need's to give you the confidence that you're right in choosing it.

4. The Network Effect @ Community participation / new user growth / community based initiative around the coin - Doge is a great example of how a coin that created for a joke became serious when the community place their trust in it. For any crypto coin to survive it must be able to motivate a group of people to place their trust on it aka HODLER's. For this check the Bitcoin Talk, Reddit Page, Telegram Group, No of Twitter Followers. While no of the "Wallet Downloads" may reflect the adoption, but real supporters who got not much in his/her wallet is more important than the investors.

5. Who's the people behind the team, what's is their past achievement, who's backing them, how's their communication response ofter ICO's - check if they behave the same way after ICO's period - level of interaction in social media, updates in Github, Marketing, Public Speaking Appearance, Guest Post & Interviews.

6. Total Coin, Market Cap, Stake Reward, Coins in circulation vs Total Coin - The idea is ... don't expect your coin to be worth hundreds of Dollar in long run if it have Billions in supply. In reality, almost all new token based coin is overpriced now... expect it to be worth pennies once it's crash and GOD knows when it will return to current price level.

7. Understand that you might need to hold your coin for next few years incase the Bubble Burst's tomorrow... and your coin worth might be 1/1000 of what it used to be.

8. if you have researched a good coin/token - buy it early and not when it's hyped specially for ICO's. Older coin you could justify the price based on history... not for ICO's.

9. This is important - pick your niche, be a specialist on your coin/token ecosystem. For me I'm interested with any coin/token that provides solution for easy coin storage, buy and sell, app form, bridging the gap between fiat to crypto and everything that revolves around making Crypto easy for masses. For example - Status Coin@SNT (I don't own any of it.) My rational is before we could send people to MARS, we need to build the SHIP. If we could not even solve the adoption and day to day problems in trading, storing, buying stuff and safeguarding the Crypto's ... Why the hell do I need a coin that's going to solve Aviation Safety!

10. You don't need a BlockFolio - In my view, you can't be rich by making pennies here and there in long term. You might do that if you have deep pockets, but if you're here with $100 ... just pick one or two coins that you believe in and HOLD it. Once you got a decent return (2-3X), take profit, reinvest and repeat the strategy and you'll be safe and sound. Remember the keyword - Pick a good one & HOLD it.
