I love to invest in low cap crypto projects, since their upside potential is MASSIVE. Call me a gambler, I don't care.

I do own a healthy amount of top tier altcoins, and some BTC, but the most profit is made with low cap projects who does 10x - 100x or even more.

I've accumulated a fair bit of BLOCK, who's the only project who runs a truly decentralized exchange with no point of failures  to this day. I did research: Bisq, Waves, Binance, IDEX, and many others, but they aren't decentralized which is why I decided not to invest in them. Cryptobridge who claimed to be "decentralized" forced KYC on their users, and went insolvent, and closed their doors as of recently.
Blocknet also solves the Oracle problem, with their Xrouter tech, which is distributed on service nodes. They actually plan on doing the same as Chainlink, just with a much more flexible solution, making it cheaper and more convenient to use.

Another project I've looked at is XLQ, high gamble, but they recently got a company investing 1 million euroes in their new exchange platform, Bitfineon, so it might be a good move.

Anything else?  ;D

COTI - 2 mil marketcap
partnered with CardanoFoundation to make ADApay
with "Recruit" big japanease company
more partnerships on the way
pretty interesting project in my opinion, do your own research

Decent (dct) has a $1,2M USD marketcap. Why they aren't on anyone's radar is beyond me. Maybe it's the code they aren't being adopted but as i can't read it it's hard to say.
Then again handled their ico promises pretty weakly but after their new "roadmap" everything has been going pretty well imho. Except in the markets.

i am holding alot of SALT.  it might be one you are interested in looking into. its currently unde r5 mil marketcap, which is crazy low for it's worth imo
they were i believe the first to offer fully secured crypto loans and idk if they have gotten much steam yet, but i think they will one day
will it take 20 years or 2 tho? i have no idea haha but that's crypto baby,i just like the project

Newscrypto.io - 1,948,040 USD market cap.

I'm holding NWC as I believe in the project, the team is nice and they are constantly updating their platform.

I think they are worth of your time.

If I had a satoshi for every time I heard the phrase "massive upside potential", I'd have quite a lot of bitcoin to gamble, since you talk about gambling;)

I'm probably the other way round. I own what for me is a lot of BTC, but modest to other people. I am on track to getting 1 BTC in 2020 and that will be my personal achievement after many years (then I wait for 1 million dollars haha).

Then the rest I put in top tier alts. I've never made x100. Why do you say Bisq is not decentralized?

it's unfortunately still the completely wrong approach. it's pure luck and gambling.
it doesn't pay off to invest time into the research. buy best 2 - 3 tokens directly which have about 0 volume and wait for what happens.
maybe you can trigger a chain reaction for the move up. :D

So you are into exchange projects? those exchanges that has their own token or you are welcoming other projects as well? as long as they are under $5M marketcap? You can easily search these projects but you have to sort what you think is good on your taste.
Start with this page on CMC (https://coinmarketcap.com/5/) you'll see the coins with that range.

I have heard so much about potential projects, but in reality, nowadays, it does not effect the price even if market cap is below 1 million. People are not investing into altcoins, because the market conditions are really bad.

If you sat in alts from january 2017 - december, you'd have a LOT of BTC. Alts is a good way to make tons of BTC imo, just needs a proper alt cycle to begin again, we've had multiple since Bitcoins exception.

Bisq have a serious flaw with it's arbitrators, because if it is malicious, the honest party gets rekt. The arbitrator gets used if a transaction fails, and is a centralized part of the whole network.

Yeah, I'd definitely call you a gambler if you're looking for low market cap coins.  Those are the ones that usually have very low trading volume and no interest in them from the market.  Why would you even want to buy any of those? 

You say the upside potential is massive, but a lot of people who invest in penny stocks say the exact same thing.  They see a stock selling for $0.05 per share and think 'what if it goes to $1?'.  And the obvious problem is that there's a damn good reason the stock is selling for a nickel.  Nobody wants it, there's no liquidity, and you won't be able to sell it once you buy it.  My advice is to not waste your time with coins of low quality.

I once bought a few Altcoins with a low marketcap randomly, after a few months the tokens are worthless or worth mentioning dead. So the point is don't just focus on the marketcap, because this does not guarantee it will bring big profits. But you also have to do research first before buying it.

A pure gamble thing and i do know whats their current motive on such choosing of those low volume alts.Hoping for some pumps?
Projects are on these price levels does signify that they are already good as dead.There were really some underrated ones but its still not worth
to risk some satoshis on it.I would rather choose up BTC instead among any other coins in the market.Yes, its expensive and does give out less potential
profits but at least you do able to feel the confidence and security.

Standard Tokenization Protocol (STPT (https://stp.network/)) for sure. It's not under $5 million right now because of a recent bull run but it's still a great prospect for the long term.  CryptoBriefing (https://cryptobriefing.com/standard-tokenization-protocol-price-analysis-positive-changes/) did a Technical Analysis for it and they concluded that its short and medium terms are still really bullish. It is one of the few cryptos in a daily uptrend right now.

Additionally, the team of STPT made an announcement stating that their tokens will be locked for 6 more months, huge news for traders and investors in the long and short terms.

Once again I have to share my experience of losing over $ 50k in this crypto market because investing in these promising alts. all of them are just creating fake news and their job every day is to create new plans to increase investor excitement, then they keep drawing more and do nothing else :)
This is a fact when I always believe in what they say, until its price drops more than 50% and then 30%, ... until my assets are only $ 300. WPP, PDATA, Banano, ... I would like to remind you once again, to invest successfully in the crypto market, you should only choose the alts listed in Binance or Huobi. because these exchanges only select potential projects and have good teams.

I think your strategy of buying 2-3 coins with 0 volume and wait to see what happens is just luck and gambling. You're wanting people to buy into a few projects that are already completely dead? Guys, please don't do this. You'll just lose money. If you really want to invest into newer projects that have the potential to make you some money, then make sure you do a lot of research. It's still going to be gambling in a sense, but if the project is bringing something new to the table and the team doesn't seem like they're going to abandon the project, then you at least have a chance of not losing everything.

Op is right when he says it can be called gambling. Yes the ultra low cap coins are the ones where you can make x100 overnight... but you are far more likely to lose. High cap, and BTC in particular, is where risk is much lower... but there is still reward there.
It all depends on how much risk you are willing to take, and how good you are at spotting hidden gems that no-one else knows about. Personally I stick to the higher cap stuff, the only low cap coins I hold are those from bounties where I thought it looked promising for the long term.

If you lost $50k you sure did invest in trash projects, or perhaps you bought at the wrong time.
I was here when Blocknet reached $50 back in 2017, and knew it was overvalued, since all they had back then was a DEX. I promised myself, that if Block ever went below $1 again, I'd buy a masternode, securing myself a spot to run their DEX.

What you say is partly true, however, Blocknet is not "overhyped" at all, and frankly, the majority of the volume you see on projects today is wash traded like no tomorrow. Only the top 20 projects is actually traded in the millions of dollars per day, a lot of it still being wash trading, or arbitrage.

Crypto is more or less at a stand still, but I've got no doubt that a LOT of promising projects, including Block, will make it, since they actually have WORKING products, over projects valued 100x more with NOTHING to show for it.
