I only invested in bitcoin because a friend convinced me to. If there is a new cryptocurrency, what are the parameters / requirements that would make you decide to invest on it?
Investing to new coins now isn't a good idea anymore though there are really exceptional coins out there.
But what makes me worry are those coins that are good in promotion but soon their project will turn into a scam.
They won't show their true nature in the beginning. What you need to do is to do a lot of research about them.
