I am all in on TRON; Cardano is the next big thing, I am so going all in.
These are common statements in the crypto space and chances are that you have seen someone pledge their non-wavering support and confidence in a particular coin. But if we are to be fair, some of these altcoins are mere pumps and dumps.
Although there are a few good ones which will certainly stand their ground and increase in value in the coming months and years, there are many more that will vanish out of the market, just like the dotcom bubble. It takes a combination of proper research and in my opinion, guts, to select these gems out of the lot. For this article, we shall be looking at Robotina ICO. Is it a gem, is it trash? Will it stand the test of time? Should you be going all-in?
One major mistake a lot of new traders and crypto enthusiasts make is investing in a project, without proper research. Newbies will often depend on YouTube videos (I am not in any way against this), what the crowd is saying (popular consensus), and the words of their friends. They are so quick to FOMO in. And trust me, it hardly ends well. Now, over to Robotina.
I will quickly walk you through my step-by-step method of reviewing projects I invest in, using Robotina as a case study.
There are 4 primary things I look out for before investing in any project, irrespective of the hype or supposed novelty around the project. They are: market niche, team, technology, and adoption.
1. Market Niche – Is the market profitable or competitive?
Everybody uses power or rather electricity in one form or the other. And while many people don’t care about the intricacies involved in energy generation and distribution, many people will rush at the idea of being able to lower their electricity bills. For Robotina, their “main expertise is the optimization of smart electrical grids. We envision the future based on the products and solutions, developed by our key experts, who are members of two research and development (R&D) teams, one of them registered as an institute.”
2. Team – Who’s on the team and what’s their expertise?
Robotina has been in the tech industry for more than 25 years. On their client list are companies like Hitachi, Microsoft, and Panasonic, amongst others. I don’t think anything else screams competence as much as these feats. They have a team of 50 experts working on this project.
3. Technology – Any innovations, what’s new?
The project combines three revolutionary techs – Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain. These techs are already changing life as we know it, and is set to improve in coming years. If Robotina gets this right, then the value of your investment has only one place to go; UP.
4. Adoption
As I always point out, a large percentage of crypto projects are thriving on hype. What they may be able to achieve in the future, without any product or proven track record. Robotina has tested working products in from of Home Energy Management System (HEMS), and Business Energy Management System (BEMS). Their product can save you up to 30% in electricity cost. Now tell me, who wouldn’t want to save?
Not to forget, sometimes, all of these things may seem right on the surface but then my gut doesn’t support the project. Or ironically, a project a may lack one or two of these features and I still invest in it. This time, Robotina ICO fulfils these benchmarks and my gut is also on it.
