Image

Coingecko is one of my favorite websites for cryptocurrency prices and statistics. For me coingecko very helpful when it comes to cryptocurrency investment and trading. I’m more of an investor than a trader because I like to buy and hold coins rather than short term trading. Whenever I want to invest in any cryptocurrency, I first look out for fundamentals. If the coin is listed on coingecko, it is a huge advantage for me because I can easily monitor the prices of the cryptocurrency and look out for important statistics like total and max supply, circulating supply, trading volume, exchanges that the coin is listed on, social media channels links…

All these are core basics when doing fundamental analysis for any cryptocurrency that I want to invest in. While a coin being on coingecko isn’t a guarantee that it would be a success, there is a big chance that the coin is a real project. That gives me more confidence to do more research and analysis on the cryptocurrency before making a decision to invest in the cryptocurrency.
