We all have to be careful when trading on the crypto exchanges. There are scams, schemes and shady deals going on every day.
The one i still dont believe people buy into are the pyramid schemes where through insider trading a couple of companies suddenly buy a large amount of one coin and inflate the price drastically. People fall for this, buy the coin thinking it will continue to go up, then watch as the coins value slowly falls over the next few days as the companies sell off there coins at a profit.
However you can avoid this risk if you look at the background of a coin.
One of the tokens i've heavily invested in is Cappasity. Its a good idea backed by good company ethics.
Why cappasity though?
I'm not saying this is the only token worth investing in or that it will have the best rise and return. However its is relatively safe to invest in. The value of the coin is mostly increasing due to the user base rather than currency exchange. They have only set up exchange on Cryptopia, as for now they want there coin value to rise stably rather than bounce around like most others.
i could rattle on about what they do but its easier if you look here for details https://cappasity.com
The basics are that they want to make 3D digitising easy and sell accounts to online shops that allow there products to be viewed in 3D.
I'm not just a fanatic for cappasity, i also believe monaco and tron are well worth investing in.
So if your looking for a long term investment, do some research on these and pick one you like.
