When it comes to research before One invests in cryptos its not as easy as people might want you to believe.The questiom then is:where do you do your research?.
From my own experience apart from the website of the Project you are interested in and of cousrse Google(not for long ),You tube has been very helpful to Me. I have learnt and done alot of research on you tube.But it was not easy to find the right you tubers to learn from.There are so many you tubers who dont know what they are talking about or can outright mislead you.The problem with Most of the White papers is that most of them are too long and too complicated or technical ,so you really need someone who can break it down for you in a easy to understand way.
Back to you tubers.A very important thing to Keep in mind is that some of these you tubers are paid to promote stuff.After learning and researching alot on the tube and after listening to so many of them, there are two that i highly recommend that you check them out:Suppoman and Crypto Zombie.
