When we consider the cryptocurrency space, there are more than 6,000 cryptocurrencies that are actively traded.
Setiap cryptocurrency berbeda, dan seringkali nilai cryptocurrency tidak selalu berasal dari emas atau dari mata uang fiat bank sentral, tetapi berasal dari berbagai cara seperti:
- Jenis Token
- Tim Pendiri
- Design of Tokenomics/Supply
- Masyarakat
- Kasus bisnis/penggunaan
Jenis Token
Token yang tidak dapat dipertukarkandan token yang sepadan memiliki penawaran dan permintaan yang berbeda, yang mempengaruhi nilainya. Token yang dapat dipertukarkan adalah token yang dapat digunakan sebagai mata uang atau alat tukar. Ini adalah token yang diperdagangkan orang di pasar terbuka, digunakan untuk transaksi dunia nyata atau untuk membeli barang digital di web.
Token atau NFT yang tidak dapat dipertukarkan di sisi lain seperti barang koleksi, seni digital, atau koleksi game. Dan karena tidak dapat dipertukarkan, ia tidak dapat dibagi atau digantikan oleh NFT lain. Setiap bagian dari NFT unik untuk dirinya sendiri.
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.
Tim Pendiri
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
Intinya, proyek yang dapat memecahkan masalah besar akan memiliki potensi pertumbuhan yang lebih besar daripada proyek yang menyelesaikan masalah kecil.
Berapa banyak Token yang tersedia?
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.
Komunitas yang dimiliki token
Jika pendiri adalah otak dari proyek, komunitas yang dimiliki proyek adalah tulang punggungnya. Masyarakat adalah penggemar setia proyek tersebut. Mereka membantu menginjili proyek dan berbagi masukan untuk membuat proyek lebih baik.
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.
Kasus bisnis/penggunaan
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.
Token mana yang terbaik?
Tidak ada token terbaik di dunia karena setiap orang berbeda dalam hal karakter, kebiasaan investasi, dan situasi keuangan. Namun, dengan petunjuk ini, ini dapat berfungsi sebagai panduan untuk membantu Anda menemukan proyek potensial yang dapat pergi ke bulan atau menyaring proyek yang tidak cocok untuk Anda.
Selalu lakukan uji tuntas sebelum berinvestasi ke dalam investasi apa pun!
