They should do it, after all we all have different goals, risk tolerance and amount of cash to invest - but how to do your own research? What should we even look for?
So I decided to create this small guide so everybody can learn or remember the most important parts.
1) Team
DYOR on the team behind the project like if you were a private detective. Find a team which has experience in tech or crypto industry and has a clean record. I use to look information about them on LinkedIn, Twitter or their website.
2) Whitepaper
Really read the whitepaper because it is the base of any crypto project. It shows what is the vision, roadmap and technical details of the project. I consider a good whitepaper one that is transparent, concise, easy to understand and without hype generation things like the ones that you can see in memecoins and shitcoins.
3) Technology
Check the technology used in the project. Check if it is scalable and its potential to grow in the future.
4) Adoption
Search for projects that solves real world use cases or has the potential to do it and the ones that are being adopted by businesses and people.
5) Market Cap
This is the total value of all the coins in circulation. A higher market cap indicates that more people are investing in the project, which can be a positive sign.
6) Liquidity
Check if the coin is easy to buy or sell in exchanges. A crypto with high liquidity is more accessible and can be traded more easily.
7) Community
An strong, supportive and healthy community is a good indicator of the success of a project. Check how people behave in those places and also how mods and project devs act. You can check those communities in Discord, Twitter and Telegram.
This should give you more than basic understanding of whether or not the project is worth checking out further more to be considered as an investment - thatβs what DYOR means,
Before investing your money you should do the proper research, gather data, engage and see how things are within the community and donβt let emotions or some influencer promoting a project be the main factor of your decision.
I hope this post helps you to improve your DYOR and find great projects to invest in β
