Re: Key Metrics to a Coin's Growth Poential

Hello,

I have a programming background, but I'm relatively new to crypto/stocks.

Hi! Welcome to the forum and to the crypto world as well.

What would be some key metrics/performance indicated to calculate a coins growth potential for the future?

There's no specific key metrics to calculate the grow of any coin in the future. By doing this assumption you will most likely fall into speculations, most of those statements that are published are base on how those experts predicted the growth of bitcoin and it's like an intelligent guess.

I may build a web app w/ API's to do some calculations.

Just like btnt8888 said you can use its market cap, total supply and add also your analysis.

Thank you for the warm welcome. Yes, I started to build something and wrote a little script that calculates my own formula on what coins may be undervalued...but again this is with limited knowledge on the cryptosphere. I would love to see what kind of considerations go into analysis for professionals. If it's the social activity you could pull that data, if its github commits, you could pull that data as well.

I would only use this for analysis to then look deeper into the projects on usage case basis.

There are so many analysis you can find at social media's, facebook bitcoin/crypto trading groups and mostly in twitter. Someone who's been into crypto for even a week can give a drastic analysis after learning on how the market is playing with its investors. There are also factors that are making these coins growth possible when there are positive news that are coming out, like adoption of a company or any support that it will be getting.
