When we consider the cryptocurrency space, there are more than 6,000 cryptocurrencies that are actively traded.
Chaque crypto-monnaie est différente, et souvent la valeur d'une crypto-monnaie ne provient pas nécessairement de l'or ou d'une monnaie fiduciaire de la banque centrale, mais provient de diverses avenues telles que :
- Type de jeton
- Équipe fondatrice
- Design of Tokenomics/Supply
- Communauté
- Affaires/cas d'utilisation
Type de jetons
Jetons non fongibleset les jetons fongibles ont une offre et une demande différentes, ce qui affecte leur valeur. Les jetons fongibles sont des jetons qui peuvent être utilisés comme monnaie ou moyen d'échange. Ce sont les jetons que les gens échangent sur le marché libre, utilisent pour des transactions dans le monde réel ou pour acheter des biens numériques sur le Web.
D'un autre côté, les jetons non fongibles ou les NFT sont comme des objets de collection, de l'art numérique ou des objets de collection de jeux. Et parce qu'il est non fongible, il n'est ni divisible ni remplacé par un autre NFT. Chaque pièce de NFT est unique en elle-même.
Owning an NFT is like having the Mona Lisa in your living room. To the right buyer, one will be able to sell a NFT for a high price. To someone else who is not able to appreciate art, it is just another bunch of pixels.
Équipe fondatrice
The founding team is the brain of a crypto project. Like any company or business, having a strong founding team can point the project into the right direction and create value for its community. Strong founding teams usually have a clear shared vision, a mix of technical, marketing and management expertise, and years of experience in the crypto industry.
When a project has a weak founding team, or a team that is only thinking for themselves, chances are, it usually ends up in rugpulls or exit scams.
This is not only detrimental to the community that the project has built, but also the crypto community as a whole.
Design of Tokenomics
Tokenomics is the economics of a crypto token. This covers the Token use case, Token Supply, Fund Raising and most importantly, it affects the supply and demand of a token.
When investing in a new token, one of the most important things to look out for is the token use case, or in short, “What problem is this project solving for the world?”. To create value, the token should be able to solve a problem that is affecting a huge number of people and not only for a niche group of individuals
Essentiellement, un projet qui peut résoudre d'énormes problèmes aura plus de potentiel de croissance que des projets qui résolvent des problèmes plus petits.
Combien de jetons sont disponibles ?
The other important metric to look out for will be Token Supply. When a token has higher supply, it does not mean that it is a bad project, it simply means there are more people who can hold this token. For example, Ether (ETH) does not have a max supply: this means miners can continuously mine for new ETH, as compared to Bitcoin (BTC) which has a maximum of 21 Million Bitcoin.
In ETH’s case, to counter the oversupply in the market, a few measures were taken, like the introduction of a mechanic for burning ETH during the London Fork Upgrade and increasing the difficulty of mining ETH.
Communauté que le jeton a
Si la fondation est le cerveau du projet, la communauté que le projet a est l'épine dorsale. Les communautés sont les fidèles fans du projet. Ils aident à évangéliser le projet et partagent leur contribution à l'amélioration du projet.
When Ethereum had a hard fork into Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, this cause a split in the community as some believed that Ethereum Classic is the way to go, while others believed that Ethereum was the one to back.
Lively, engaging communities help to bring in more investors, increase adoption, and provide liquidity for the token in the market. Therefore, do not underestimate the power of community as they are an integral part of the cryptospace.
Affaires/cas d'utilisation
At the end of the day, every business and every token project exists to solve a problem. Does this project solve a problem? Is it a significant problem? Is it a good and elegant solution?
These areas of evaluation will give a clue as to whether a token is perhaps entering an already crowded marketplace, or which other projects it is competing with. Investors will need to decide if it can grab market share, or if it is trying to solve a prblem that does not exist or does not require blockchain technology to solve.
Quel jeton est le meilleur ?
Il n'y a pas de meilleur jeton au monde car tout le monde est différent en termes de caractère, d'habitudes d'investissement et de situation financière. Cependant, avec ces pointeurs, il peut servir de guide pour vous aider à repérer les projets potentiels qui peuvent aller sur la lune ou filtrer les projets qui ne vous conviennent pas.
Faites toujours preuve de diligence raisonnable avant d'investir dans un investissement !
