INTRODUCTION
Blockchain technology have really revived the world, there are means of technology shringing up on daily basis, one key something we need to put into perspective in our daily doings are records and accountability, any sectors be it private or public that doesn't poses this named characteristics are boned to fail.
Blockchain has the two characteristics that is why even in our health sector today blockchain is a watchword, cryptocurrencies are decentralized in nature and they are built on blockchain you can easily transfer, from one wallet to another, through the help of your private keys.
We have have more than 500 cryptocurrencies in circulation today you can own anyone within your reach, you can decide to buy when the value is pretty low and uphold it for a while that's called HOLD, when the value appreciate they you sell then off, that is practically what I call investment at this stage we migrate to the topic of discuss today investment through private and public sales.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT CRYPTO INVESTMENT AND HOW TO PROPERLY UTILIZE THE INVESTMENT TOOLS AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS
Every investment has a category you can decide to limit your investment strategy thereby investing within a short while, (short-term), or going long (short-term investment), it all depends on the investors.
cryptocurrency doesn't stop it's basically decentralized it isn't controlled by anyone, you can decide to buy a Crypto assets and hold it for a while (HOLD), then sell then off when you feel it's value have appreciated.
Honestly speaking I will say investing on crypto assets is the best way to eradicate poverty in a long run by so doing building a solid wealth for future use, one concise reason to invest massively on crypto token is the appreciation/fluctuation technique around it. You can't really be specific when it officially hits the all time high ATH, but when that does happen you benefit massively. After all the reasoning of an investor is to make more cash.
You have funds what you need is to modify your expenses in for example 8-9 months you can decide investing 20%, of that fund into cryptocurrency and watch the output it provides within a specified period of time, but in this case you need to Explore some tools.
Using investment tools, a better way to invest; the road-map to success doesn't come with a spike, it's usually a gradual process slow and steady, so to achieve a splendid investment in a short or long run you have to be specific thereby deploying the necessary tools that will bootress your investment models.
screenshot collected from https://coinmarketcap.com/
You need do intensive research using many tools, remember before you invest in a coin it must be listed/available on some Exchanges be it a centralized or Decentralized one, looking at the screenshot above you will see that I exploited the coin-marketcap in search of a shib-inu token, it's clearly shown in the screenshot the various Exchanges it has officially been listed.
A coin can be introduced at that process you can mine it but yet it hasn't been listed to any Exchange at the stage of mining you are positioning yourself in a spot to achieve great things when the coin will be officially introduced, note you can still Invest in a coin even when it hasn't officially been listed in an exchange.
The pairs at which it can be purchased with is also very important let's say I have USDT, I can easily use it to purchase shiba-inu, that is the coat and the base very important to note this. another thing is the various prices, crypto prices fluctuates that means it goes up and down, so you can easily do your analysis and know when to Invest,
TALK EXTENSIVELY ABOUT THE FOLLOWING. ALSO, HIGHLIGHT THE BENEFITS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH
Trading involves buying and selling, along the process you are bound to loose, but it will be encouraging in all ramification that your gain surpass your looses.
You can buy a Crypto assets in an exchange and decide to sell, or trade in another exchange with the sole motive of accelerating your profit, you can actually buy low, in Exchange A, and sell high in Exchange B, this brings us to various sales in cryptocurrency.
Private Sale in Cryptocurrency
private sale can be defined as the sale of various tokens to early notified investors, whenever tokens are been invented it doesn't usually have value up until it starts gaining recognition when so many people have poses then within their rank, at that stage it can now be listed on an exchange and it officially starts trading too as well.
Private sales aren't usually announced to the notification of the public, companies, blockchain's usually holds private sales so they have their choice to make by so doing choosing the Investors of their choice that they are willing to invite courtesy the event.
When blockchain or companies choose to invite anyone Investorsthey want, they do that with a specific motive which is looking for Investors to fund the project. In private sale their are lots of benefits they includes
BENEFITS
High discount; there are great value attached to the cryptocurrency that the early investors receive, compared to the crowd sales and Public sales.
Quick returns;the various discount given to the early Investors means that when the coin is officially released there will be massive returns from the sales.
RISK
Pump and Dump;various new Investors can leave their token open, this might trigger price manipulation and by so doing hackers can easily gain access,and manipulate the system.
Excluding Average Investors;if average Investors are left behind it doesn't do the coin any good, remember coins gain more recognition if they are been by many Investors, it doesn't matter if they are average or otherwise.
Presale in Cryptocurrency;
this almost define's, itself, but defining it my own way I will say this is a medium that involves the period in time where various investors can raise their funds to assist a cryptocurrency project before it's officially been thrown into the public face.
We can't overemphasize the fact that ICO, which means the initial coin offering, is a period when a new crypto becomes readily available so the entire public at this phase Investors can officially Invest on it.
very important to note presale comes before the introduction of the ICO, with a rejuvenated price and a minimal fund raising target. The motives of various pre-sale is to assist the viscosity of achieving an expanciated ICO.
I will say crypto presale grants more opportunities to make more pretty cool cash than the initial coin offering, ICO, various crypto projects are firing their momentum to making sure that they raise the cash needed for their presale.
BENEFITS
Fascinating Exchanging:a pre-sale token can easily be Exchanged for coins as soon as the ICO is officially completed.
creating of investment intrest:funds generated during pre-sale, can be used to creating investment intrest thereby offering ICO, as a result of marketing.
RISK
Difficulties in token listing to Exchange; I will say the motives of various pre-sale is to assist the viscosity of achieving an expanciated ICO, now the risk here is when the ICO, is over how do you sell off your coins when officially it's not yet in an exchange.
Decline in price:ICO token usually finds a way to set back price tag whenever they are officially listed into an exchange, that is to say ICO usually drop in price each time they are officially listed.
Public Sale in Cryptocurrency;
At this period assets are made readily available in the volatile market for purchase by Investors, this is practically what we call public sale in crypto.
Public sale just as the name imply, it's most-times conducted in various token Exchange platforms namely coin-base, and takenomy, note whenever we have a public sale of Crypto it's usually characterized to a point where the crypto itself doesn't approach it's target when the presale was going on.
| Benefits | Risk |
|---|---|
| In public sale tokens are officially made ready for purchase by any Investors, the total number of Investors willing to purchase isn't limited | what really brings about a public sale is the failure of Crypto assets not climaxing to the target cap courtesy the pre-sale, at this stage some Investors seems frightened courtesy the market capitalization of the token. |
WHAT ARE THE MEDIUMS USED FOR PUBLIC/PRE/PUBLIC SALES IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
Various projects owners usually looks for mediums at which their various ICO's can be undertaken, be it public pre-sale, or even public sales, some mediums can be exploited courtesy this I will be showing various mediums but for now let's go through launchpad's.
Using launchpad's
Crypto works in such a way that I will say the early the better, various investors usually keep track on various Crypto investment. Launchpad's are platforms at which Investors keeps track on with the sole motive of raising funds for various ICO's.
we have more the four launchpad's available at this time of writting, they operates on various blockchain technology e.g the Solana block-chain, Bitcoin blockchain, Etherium blockchain. At this point let's look into some various launchpad's they include.
Trust-swap launchpad
This launchpad is designated in prolific way with total emergence in the crypto space, trust-swap launchpad usually have issues regarding subscriptions, across the entire blockchain, trust-swap was rescently launched in the Defi space.
Trust-swap launchpad is a kind of launchpad designated to have an overview on the potent emergence of a Crypto project in the entire crypto space, trust-swap launchpad has a team that runs within the entire ecosystem, trust-swap gives potential investors the limelight to investment.
At this phase Investors have the opportunity to stake their token into the trust-swap pool, trust-swap launchpad gives Investors the opportunity to invest over 4,000 token with the sole motive of achieving a white list courtesy the crypto project.
polkastarter Launchpad
This launchpad is totally decentralized meaning this protocol isn't controlled by anyone, and it's totally built on the polkastarter blockchain, polkastarter Launchpad which is officially built on polkastarter blockchain is basically a crowd funding launchpad designated with the sole motive to assist Crypto project in order to raise funds.
The crowdfunding project is designated with a system that is familiar to auction system example is the sealed bid auctions, Dutch auction, lastly the dynamic and fixed swap ratio, this are great features that contributes to making polkastarter Launchpad a splendid project.
Direct funding through Edgeware
The vital prospect to this protocol is basically about fund raising, but we still have to pay attention on the profit maximization aspect, regarding onchain metrics it's very important you as an investor to galvanize your own project, now let's put leveraging on edgeware ecosystem, thus management of your project and funding it too is very important.
Edgeware this is a platform that gives investors limelight to build their own blockchain product they can thus launch the project been built here too, building your project looks simple because there are other developers with the same intrest so building your project through this platform looks pretty simple.
Projects here are usually funded through the Edgeware, Treasury, this is one of the medium at which public sales in crypto can be funded before you can propose a Treasury you must be an EDG holder this doesn't place a limit to the amount of EDG that is currently within your posession rank.
Edgeware doesn't just assist you in your project funding it also gives you a total decentralized management developmental strategy by so doing the growth of your project will excel massively, also the DEA structure assists you to adding value to your developmental structure.
How to apply looks more like an issuer website called the polkadot js, before your project will be funded you will have to create your Edgeware treasure funding proposal, and proceed to fund your project, note this project isn't subjective
RESEARCH ABOUT ANY RECENT (2021) SUCCESSFUL ICO OR IEO AND GIVE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT. (NOTE: BETA TOKEN IS EXCLUDED)
OVERVIEW
This year there has been so many successful ICO's all round courtes this I will be hunting on Robinia swap, Robinia swap is a protocol that is basically built on binance smart chain, robbinia helps in the massive development of Defi protocols.
Robbinia team are splendid as they have a responsibility, which is building a decentralized Exchange courtesy binance cross chain platforms and keeping side on the pancakeswap in order to provide solidity based on the services provided to various Investors/user's.
In robbinia Exchange protocol liquidity are been provided, also we have the decentralized swapping, staking also is available and decentralized mining, they so Support the initial farm offering, all this are live on the robbinia protocol.
This platform usually have an inter-phase interaction with steem and bitcoin, at the time this project was officially launched it was the first platform to have an interaction with Cryptocurrencies steem and BTC.
Steem can be staked in form is Bsteem in the platform and there are room for mining their native token, before robbinia swap was officially founded there was a pre-sale this helped various Investors to achieve the early coin offering.
An ICO, was officially held with the mandate of raising fund for the all round project which was totally successful, I will give the details of the various ICO this is robbinia swap homepage.
Here I will show an overview about the robbinia swap protocol official Launching

Create an imaginary token. Write about the project including its use case. Develop an ICO which includes Private sales (3 stages) and Public sales (1). Note that: You are expected to explain what the funds are intended to be used for, your Private sale should have 3 stages, and specify the initial supply available, and the price you are issuing the token in each stage. Also, specify the price you are issuing the token at the Public sale phase (including the supply).
Executing this home-work my imaginary token will be canva token. Read further as I keep on expanciating I really love this task it involves lots of brain work, let's get the ball rolling.
OVERVIEW OF CANVA TOKEN
Canva token is a 5th generation token, which has a consensus mechanism of proof-of work PoW, ever since the inception of this token the inventor have been objective courtesy the token and the enermous characteristics it posess within it's ranks.
Canva token is built on the quishakara blockchain technology one of the fastest blockchain in the world today, the proficacy/characteristics that blockchain poses can't be overemphasized.
This token has been a mainstream to other Crypto adoption, just of rescent it has been used as a pair to one of worlds most popular cryptocurrency in the world Bitcoin. It has officially been listed on the Solana block-chain, one of the fastest blockchain in the world today.
On the Solana block-chain you have the pair of BTC/CAN, so it can be added to the liquidity pool of BTC, let's say I used some of BTC to buy CAN, on the pool BTC will reduce and the price will be triggered, all this are determined by the market Maker's MM.
This token currently as we speak runs on the BTC, TRC, ETH, SOL, etc it also runs on the Just-swap ecosystem at which it can be swapped with an TRC-20 token, it can also work in pairs, to provide liquidity to Just-swap Defi.in general it's been designed as a multi-chain token.

WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA REQUIRED FOR LISTING A TOKEN ON COIN-MARKETCAP
You will agree with me that everything in life has standards and the way they operates remains their watch-worlds, Same is applicable to coin-marketcap, they have a standard at which you must fulfil before you can list a coin. there have been several cases of Crypto manipulate, issue of double spending, and all the rest, I will highlight some of the standards here keep reading.
Criteria's for Crypto assets.
Your crypto token must have a leveraging cryptographic mechanism on the distributed ledger of the blockchain at which the token operates working in peers, and the functionalities of the smart contract must operates as a store of value.
Before a token can be listed on coin-marketcap it must be traded within the public space, and the token in discussing must exist in at least one exchange, with volume and market capitalization.
A representative must be provided for effective communication in case anything goes wrong, then the clarification, that is coin-marketcap usually establish an open line for effective communication.
The Crypto assets you are about to list must have a standard functional website and perhaps a block explorer.
For exchange token
We have many exchanges today round the globe, for each of then to be considered a track listing they have basics obligations they must fulfil and certain guidelines they includes.
For any exchange to be considered as a track listing they must have at least one functional website, with market capitalization and trading volume, note it must match the API data very important.
An exchange must be able to establish an end-point to their API's data, the API helps in identifying the price of the Crypto token within a specified period of time, so the summary of the API just be published.
An exchange must have been in full time operation for the past 60 days, to be considered for track listing.
The Exchange must not be subjective to it's customers, they must give room for traders to view various Crypto pairs/order book without necessarily logging in the exchange website.
IS THERE A CRITERIA FOR LISTING AN ASSET ON A CENTRALIZED EXCHANGE? IF YES, USE AN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR EXPLANATION IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION
The listing requirements on an exchange has been exploited and there are various criteria's now let's look at the way it's been done in a centralized exchange. I will be using the binance Exchange.
Overview on listing requirements on binance centralized Exchange
Binance is a popular centralized exchange, listing a coin here is pretty simple if you follow the procedures, binance provides a standard security and gives you the opportunity to list high standard tokens in the exchange, listing a token on binance is rigorous, lots of procedures are required I will try my possible beat to exploit some.
Listing a token on binance centralized exchange you must first fill the online application form, you can also list on binance Launchpad/launch pool, but this can be done if your token isn't issued yet. Note Haven't had a token generation event, then you can list on the binance Launc-hpool.
All available informations must be provided for effective communication with the binance IT workers on the centralized Exchange.
After listing your token on the binance Exchange you need to update your project progress to the binance community on a consistent basis for effective communication.
After listing your token and it ranks high on the binance smart chain project courtesy the number of various active address, or trading volume, this signifies a growth courtesy user data base.
Conclusion
From my homework task I talked extensively on crypto investment, where I highlighted that Crypto investment is defined as a means of going short, or going long courtesy deciding the efficacy of the token you decide to invest in. You can buy a Crypto token when it's value is low, now bitcoin is worth about $56 at the time of writting this post, now let's track back in the month of April this year, where Bitcoin fell to $15, if you invested 50%, of your earnings trust me by now you will be smiling to the bank, thats the efficacy of investment.
Before investing you must deploy various tools that will assist you to properly maximize your profit on a long run, I also talked about various sales, where I stated that the private sales is a medium of selling cryptocurrency to early investors, one of the benefits is high discount, when you are invited to participate courtesy pre-sale, you are giving high discount, and when the cryptocurrency in question develops much value then you profit massively.
Thank you very much professor @fredquantum for this great lecture, I really appreciate, hopefully I keep doing your assignment.
