Being a newbie, I'm looking for a good direction on learning about the markets and trading. How would you decide which ICO to invest in? Cryptocurrency is too volatile, but so there is still many people who go into investment that goes even in the newest coins which are similar (not same) in the functionality that they offer (e.g. anonymity). What is the possibility on any of these coins (or digital currency in general) being successful (or profitable)? I'm also not clear on how does the value of coin inflate or deflate; especially when the flow is controlled by the developers?
tl;dr Any resources or pointers on the topic are appreciated.
Firstly, there are no guarantees and never will. As I understand you're trying to understand far better to invest their money. First search for ICO using the bounty of the company. Participate in them and so you will be able to understand exactly how to collect money. Next, pay attention to the signature company, if this company has a lot of heroes and legends, then it is worth buying. They've already analyzed. Well, you can learn white paper to understand what you are buying.
