โก๏ธ Where to look for cryptocurrencies?
Start by visiting coinmarketcap or coingecko. Before listing tokens on these resources, crypto projects are checked to minimize the risk of encountering scams. Then see the rating of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, as it is better to start with well-known and large projects. And now it's time to pick some coins!
๐ When choosing your first cryptocurrency, consider these key factors:
๐ Purpose and use case: Visit the project's website or find its whitepaper to learn more about the project's goals, roadmap, and determine its use cases. If the team has a clear plan and goals, the project has good long-term potential.
๐ Research technology: Understand the basics of their core technology. Top tip: check Cryptopedia by Cointelegraph, as it explains crypto and blockchain in simple English, helping you better grasp the technical side of most digital currencies.
๐ Market cap and liquidity: Look for cryptocurrencies with high market capitalization and liquidity for stability and ease of trading.
๐ Community and development: Visit the project's social media communities. Check how active the participants are and whether the project is sharing updates about the development process.
