The initial step that you to do is to look for the launchpad website to find crypto projects. Then look for the projects that seems to have a promising future. Do some personal research about the project especially its whitepaper. One thing that you need to check is its project team’s background especially the previous projects that they successfully implemented. Don’t be a victim of a rug pull by doing your research and good judgement before getting your first coin.
look at reputable launchpads not on substandard and unfamiliar launch pads. because good projects with good foundation can be found on credible platforms. you may find cheap tokens or coins but you will find it hard to sell afterwards.
also, even strong projects have their downward movement in the market. so if you strongly believe on the future of that project, buy it after a week or so once it hits the exchange. because you will find out that they are cheaper than their ico or ido price. and if the team is solid with their targets, it can easily grow in the next months to come.
