What criteria do you look for when you research a token/crypto? And what tools do you use to do your investigation? Please provide as much details, examples, walk throughs, tutorial links as possible.
Like if you want to know what percentage of a token is being held for a few VC's, developers, initial investors, etc.? Or how do you monitor inflows and outflows over a period of time?
There are several things i want to look at, like tokenomics, distribution, vesting period and initial sale price, inflation rate and marketcap. List of red flags i will be looking for is too long to list, as i would probably forgot to list lots of them, and since it's based on years of experience. If the team is not anonymous, i will take a deep dive about every member, and make sure they have a place in that company, other than hanging around and some crappy marketing.
If marketcap is low enough and potential high. I might overlook other fundamentals. And i've made money with utter trash and projects that later rugged everyone. But the autist in me doesn't invest in anything where devs are obviously lying. They can be stupid and funny, and selling pointles meme tokens, and that's fine with me. It's just lying or incompetence that they are trying to hide by lying that gets to me and i open my mouthn and get banned from their chats for "fud"
