Bitcoin Forum

Hey BTCTalk, I have recently branched out from ETH and BTC to other altcoins alongside those coins, I have seen that Cardano, Nano, and other coins are Volatile enough to make good profits, do you guys have any other suggestions?

Majority of the cryptocurrencies are volatile on a regular basis due to which it's possible to earn huge profits as long as you predict correctly and consistently.

I suggest doing your research(Checking CMC data) and selecting the coins/tokens based on your preferences for short-term or long-term trading.

Personal Tips: Check out leveraged tokens from Binance which are usually extremely volatile though you need to be an experienced trader to trade these tokens effectively. Also, invest only what you are willing to lose.

Thanks for your response, I will look into what you mentioned.

your selection of altcoins is quite good and it can be used as a guide in the future, even though the current market price situation is very difficult to say as an ideal position but as @Haunebu has said it's absolutely true, you should study the coin if you already have know as a whole to minimize major losses.


I agree that coins and tokens on Binance are very relevant as a reference to be used as one of the right choices, based on the high level of trading volume. because  altcoins on Binance is tested and goes through a very strict filtering stage.

If volatility is your only parameter, then why don't you go for Ripple (XRP)? The legal battle with SEC is still ongoing, and when some ruling is made against them, you can expect the XRP exchange rates to go down by 60% or 70% (it has already happened multiple times). You can accumulate using these dips, and then sell when the prices are back to the normal levels. Another coin that comes to my mind is Dogecoin, but it is too overpriced right now. You can also go for BCH or ETC, if you are OK with more moderate gains.

Thanks for your guys' feedback, Ill probably trade the coins that I mentioned, but I will also try ripple as the price of all of these coins are changing alot making it not a safe, but an easy way to make money if I do it right

At first,I want to know.How much you had for the investment.If you plan to inverse more than 5000$,you should choose Bitcoin or Ethereum.Because it's good coin to inverse your money for the long term investment.Incase you are holding less than 5000$,you should choose 5 different altcoin like ripple,XLM,Monero to get good profit.

Do you really need more? When you do look for some liquidity or volatility then stick with top 10 altcoins in the market on where you can ensure
if you do really look for movements since this had bigger volumes and price is way fast moving.

Good for scalping? Yes it it but be careful since swings can really be on big ranges on some particular time and its part of the risk.

You can indeed make money if you do know on how to play with the market and as long you are ready with it then go ahead
and test up for yourself.

I trade Uniswap Polkadot Binance Coin and I have enough. Plus threw on the stacking (recently bought - Mocktail token and ape swape token), and I'm in chocolate.

This is nice as you are oriented with crypto at your early age. It is good that you are diversifying your portfolio as this will make sure that you will not be bankrupt if in case one of the coins goes down the drain. Just keep up with the updates of every coin that you will invested with, so in such a case that one of them is going in the negative direction, you can sell off and avoid losses.

if you want coins with high volatility maybe you need to try doge coin, it have many speculation  in market . with elon musk shilling i am sure doge price will move up and down extremely. look at doge coin price in few days ago, its rise more than 0,1 dollar , and with coinbase pro listing it could be more.

In my opinion, cryptocurrencies are mostly volatile especially the high rankings in coinmarketcap because they start from a low value but now they have a good value and continue to make a good profit in the crypto market. If you want to make a good money just invest to the top coins in CMC like ETH, ADA, EOS, XRP and many different trusted coins to invest.

DOT and MATIC should be your consideration for the medium and long term.
As for new projects that are developing, there are TKO and SFP that you should also pay attention to because they also have a pretty good collaboration with Binance and other projects.

The more volatile the price is, the more money you can hypothetically make via trading. However, it also means that the higher the risks are for you as an investor if you miss a change of dynamics. To look at volatility, you can just spend a few days watching the market on Coingecko  (https://www.coingecko.com/en)or a similar website, sorting the list by the price change in 1 hour, 24 hours and 7 days. To minimize the risks or losing lots of money, you can also look at the number next to the name of the coin which signifies its position by market capitalization: the higher the capitalization, the lower the risk of the price dropping hard and never going back up. Good luck!
Edit: I've noticed you're saying you're a minor. In that case, I'm really not sure if risking money by investing is appropriate... Just remember to ONLY invest what you can afford to lose.

I think the first question that comes to me is if you have been able to obtain significant profits with bitcoin and ethereum? If you have not done so why you think a greater volatility is going to help you at all? However even if that is the case I would not trust those results until you have been profitable for years in this market and until that is not the case then it is better to stay away from all of those coins as for the most part you are running a huge risk by investing in them.

too short to look for good tokens at this time,,need to find good information with accuracy in choosing tokens..
my advice is to follow the program on the market and there will be new tokens worth buying..

Most of the altcoins are extremely volatile. Look at those new ones and the ones that are being hyped. Just be careful with the new ones. They are so volatile that you might end up losing everything within a day. But why are you looking for volatile coins? To make quick profits? Assess the reward risk ratio. Think if the risk is worth taking for the profit you will get. I would highly suggest you to invest in coins that are well established (hence less volatile) and hold them for long term.

Found none. Don't go out of BTC it's the most volatile actually some altcoins may be volatile but it takes a long time probably a week before you could see about 20-35% volatility. Bitcoin could go way 5% only but because its value is way higher than any altcoins, the room for making a profit is good that you can even trade in the hourly or 4hour chart and make money even on the spot market.

Nothing I can see but only Bitcoin. Though it was more volatile than the rest, however, you can really rely on it in terms of profit gains.

The big share of my portfolio is Bitcoin, I'm doing this for a long time and I can't deny that I was really n great profit. Sometimes we just be patient especially during the bear season as not all the time we are bullish.

@OP Please never think about instant return as it only makes you mad, instead of thinking that thing better to change it with positivity.

Do you mean the very volatile coins that you can use for daily trading?
Well, you may actually have some, but it may be riskier than the top one.
I commonly trade in Biancne with several choices of coins like CTSI, XRP, ADA, Matic, and also others. But so far, CTSI gave me the highest-earning for daily trading.

Just be yourself and don't forget to make some research before following any suggestions by members here. because sometimes, one strategy or coin will not always work on others.

In addition to those coins you can try BNB as well, I monitor BNB alot and I discovered that it is very volatile and pump a lot thus tradeable also you can give it a shot, it is a coin that can be hodl for a long term perpective as well  based on the fact Binance is one of the biggest exchange in the crypto industry and are the brain behind BNB as long as they exist BNB will continue to thrive as well.

My advice is to play leverage trading on futures or margin, and use maximum leverage, it will create very fast and sharp volatility if you really want something like that. ;D

There are so many coins to choose from if you only know where to look.

If you consider a coin that is less than $1 then go for XRP or XLM. These are already established projects, safe and cheap. You may also want to take a look at XSN, the native coin of Stakenet. This project has been around for several years already and has exhibited a steady growth rate.

The cryptocurrency market is a place with huge price fluctuations, any coin can increase or decrease by tens of % every day.
It is best to choose a coin that is among the 20 largest coins on the market.

Doge is overvalued and it is easy to crash in the future. Chances are you'll be in trouble if you invest in Doge right now.

All crypto except stable coin is have high volatility, in this current situation of market, we have to analysis first the trend of crypto market, to know the trend of bullish is continues or its will changing to bearish, then we can decide to invest in some altcoin. In my opinion, trend of bullish will continue, and currently old altcoin like XRP and LTC not surpass ATH yet, so that coins is good to pick now.

Volatility is just a general something with crypto it shouldn't be the reason why anyone invests on a coin or token, real use cases and utility is why I invest in projects, anyways, Cardano use case can't be denied it's a very good one, you can look into vechain, polkadot and avalanche

I think that apart from ETH and BTC other coins like Cardano, Nano and other coins that are moving upwards can also generate better profits in the future, so stick with those coins.

If you are looking for coins with higher volatility then you should choose to invest in Dogecoin, this really has the higher volatility for me because of the hype from Elon Musk. You may also look at some new projects just do your own research, those new projects that have potential in the future has higher volatility compared to other big altcoins.

literally ANY coin that's below top 10 market cap are more volatile than the coins that are top 10 market cap. You can easily find so many coins and if you want a lot more volatility then try shitcoins but it's NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
however if you prefer a coin that still has volatility while at the same time having lesser chance of getting dumped into oblivion then just stick to the top coins, honestly you could never go wrong with them.

Recently I though to do trading than bounty and surprisingly, got lucky. I have traded and made my investment double in few actions. I see good volatility in cartesi(CTSI), DIA, HAI and SHIB tokens. Need to watch BTC price movement closely to enter and exit.

I have seen coins like SafeMoon which increased at a really high rate. But I can't guarantee any coins like they are going to go to the moon certainly. You can do a good research and try your luck in a project.

Try to make observation in the Coinmarketcap mate if you want a good volatile coin because to be honest all the information of a project is can be found in coinmarketcap even though the graph which the most important. Its very informative as well and for sure you can see it if it's so volatile enough. Indeed that's what others doing as well wherein before making an investment they visit coinmarketcap to check all the information and the status of the projects..

in my opinion if you try a new altcoin it will have a very high risk, you better go in and buy bitcoin and ethereum which I think is better and for sure you will benefit from these two coins with the money capital you have the higher the capital you have you have the more profit you get.

If OP wants to take high risk then he might gain a huge return also. There are may tokens that have goo volatile and I think most of them because its already the nature of cryptocurrency. All you have to do is make the right decision when you invest and when you take your profit. ALPHA and DEGO are coins that I observe are good to trade but still depend in the graphs whether it good to buy.

If that is what the OP wants then that is a way to increase the volatility of his trades and the possible profits that he can make, however I have always been opposed to leveraged trading and this is because people use absurd levels of leverage in which they use 100 to 1 leverage and a loss of 1% on the price of bitcoin is enough to get their accounts in the red, and taking into account that I have seen bitcoin going down as much as 5% in a single minute then those people are just gambling with their money.

Hey guys!

I came back to this thread to answer a few things.

I started trading XML, Cardano, and Ripple last week.

The reason I wanted to trade cheaper volatile alts is because they have a higher profit margin if they spike since i can buy reasonably low. Others were asking why im not buying ETH or BTC, I have been holding ETH since before april, but the reason I wanted to start buying other coins is because you need less money to make more if you get lucky. And for bitcoin, I dont buy it and never have, I just dont have the money to make gains on a coin like that.

We now recognize that crypto assets are volatile assets. People who want to start investing in digital assets must take into account the risks of investing in these assets, and keep abreast of the latest info

We need to see a break of this resistance here to start feeling bullish on Ethereum. keep developing every new coin

That is fair enough, however lets suppose that you become successful with your trading style and you get enough profits to finally begin to afford bitcoin, in that case will you do it? I say this because even if I understand what you are saying, since it makes sense that if you invest in smaller and more volatile coins you are going to make more money, at the same time we cannot deny that the king of this market is bitcoin and that many of those coins will not survive and as such it is important to have some money invested in bitcoin even if it is not much.

I like your idea, and I think that I will actually go with it.

Once I hit $750 of extra money to put into a new coin, ill put 80% of it into BTC and save the rest. 75% of the money I make from trading will go back into trading, but the other 25% will be saved for a used car when I become of age to get a drivers license. But I do think that if I put some extra money into BTC and hold it I could make enough to cover some of the cost to go to a OK college.


Thanks guys!

If you are wanting to make profit on simple move of prices, I would recommend you to go with popular and large cap yet cheaper coins as they are safer bet to earn on market highs and lows. Ripple and Tron are some of the easy coins to do it. Just keep your trades on automatic and put a stop loss if you are not ready to hold for a long time in case there's a crash.

It must be the top 100 CMC or you can try to use leverage coins but this is a very volatile coin and it's a very high risk coin. If you didn't wanna try to lose your money instantly and you should not play with the leverage token.
This is just a suggestion but you must do your own research but I prefer to pick the top 100 coins rather than leverate coins which is a very volatile compared with the top 100 coins.
It's not any one can use this kind of token.

A lot of coins are volatile but nothing is for sure to make good profits just according to you they are volatile, all of them are risky but I think coins with market volume are the good ones for a risky trades rather than small market volume since people would be able to control that market. Here are some of the coins I'm interested to BNB, EOS, FIO, DOGE, SHIB that's some pretty volatile coins.

there are a lot of good coins to invest right now, but to get a definite profit I don't know because in the crypto market anything can happen be it up or down. if my advice is better choose a coin with a large volume to reduce the risk of a drastic drop, for example, such as BNB, XRP or polkadot.

Why not start with the ones you have seen for now and be investing in them before you start looking for more to invest in it. When I saw thread first I had Cardano (ADA) in mind to recommend to you but you already knows about that one so there is no need to be talking about it, for sure ADA is a very a good cryptocurrency. Maybe you should also check out Tron if you’re still looking for more to invest your money in.

And why are you leaving bitcoin and Ethereum? Is it because of the high fees and the slow transaction? Or do you have any other reason why you have decided to leave them and look for other coins to buy?

To answer your question, im not leaving Bitcoin can Ether, but I dont actively trade those, I just hold them. I was also thinking about buying like 1.25 binance coin, would you guys recommend that? And for your Cardana suggestion, I have bought a good amount and plan to sell next spike.
