Excellent thread. I would say that some of the red flags are more like "yellow" or "orange" flags if you know what I mean. A red flag IMO is something that is a deal breaker. Just to mention some red bright red flags:
- Team´s Linkedin profiles with no contacts or with contacts that once you dig a little bit, don´t look real.
- Lately, as seen on Dencity, some of the advisers deny involvement in the project, yet they are listed.
- There are obvious technical flaws that make the project impossible or very difficult. Not just barriers to overcome, but things that are really impossible. For example, if a network is frequently overloaded, it is unlikely that you will be able to make instant payments with low fees.
- Unrealistic market caps, no soft or hard cap.
I think my point is clear. There are Bright Reds and things that need to be addressed.
Thanks. Severity low and medium can be considered as yellow flags that can be usually managed and solved by the team.
