Title: Do you invest in micro cap altcoins?
Post by: JamesDaniel90 on September 25, 2022, 09:31:14 AM
Hi all

I have Bitcoin and Ethererum and a few other top 20 cryptos but looking at adding a few micro cap altcoins in the hope one or two 100x or more over the next few years.

Be interesting to hear who is for and against micro cap altcoins?

If you own any what is your plan with them and if not why do you not believe in them?

having said that, you have an extremely diversified portfolio containing over 20 different altcoins and are still looking to invest more. investing in low cap or micro cap projects is possible, why not?
investing is about making a profit as long as you know what you are doing with your money and know the risks you will take when investing in such projects. but it will be a bit difficult here as we are in a bear market so investing in such projects will be much riskier than profitable. i also invest in low cap coins but only do that when we are in the bull season because then things were going up and making money was easier than it is now

I think he's describing that he's got a few from the top 20, not 20 different altcoins.

I am not against on it but I don't have luck on it. I'm not against to those investors that understands what they do and is making a profit from these low cap coins. And that's because they know when to enter and when to get out.

But, if by the chance that it happens and I'm lucky to have that type of altcoin and managed to earn from it, I'd definitely, without a doubt sell it and put that profit into bitcoin.

If you have an urge to gamble your way into micro-cap it's wise to manage your size, it's a high-risk area where either something picks up and the price multiply or just goes down to zero.

1% of your net worth is okay I guess, yeah but I tend to treat it as something that I don't expect much and if the price goes to zero I'm fine with risk because only my 1% net worth will be gone.

Technically speaking, I would invest in anything, but the more microcap something is the way more skiddish I would be about it being a scam / waste of time and the more megacap something is the way less skiddish I am.

If you are good at it, you can do well. Similar to VC space. A standard VC company may make bets on 30 companies, 29 of which go bankrupt and one company that over 1000x's. But there's a lot of both skill and luck in determining this space. Of course, if you have that skill, the rewards are a lot higher than betting on established trends.

Its always a big risk invest in such kind of coins.
Actually I have a medium stake only in a couple of these coins but I dont have any real expectations for the future.
Generally speaking I am skeptic even to invest in any top 20 coins (Just check the change in this rank you will be pretty surprised how It change every year... ::) )

If you have something worth investing in and you believe in it, I think it’s okay to risk as long as you are managing how much you are going to be at risk in that investment. I’m not sure why people would be against it as long as you are using your own money and making sure that you know what you are doing because if you do, you would understand how you could make a lot of money or lose a lot of money.

I think it depends on what type of coin you are into, and you would know if it’s worthwhile.

Maybe it can be reduced again from the top 20 coins to the top 10 coins,
actually in investing in any coin the risk will always be there but the difference is that the risk is big and small,
of course we hope as much as possible to minimize the risk but it's not an easy thing

I have been buying some microcap coins that focusing into the various field I just divided these into the various microcap coins that were working in the different situation. I meant if we must also aware about that if diversify our portfolios was a must. that's why i have been choosing to divide this into the various things like metaverse, second layer solution and many more. This will be decreasing the risk for my portfolios as well rather than going all in into a specific coin.

What do you mean by micro-cap altcoin, do you mean coins that have low market capitalization, or do you mean another thing entirely, but if you are looking for projects to invest in you should take your time to have personal research about them before you buy them for long-term sake.

But since you have a good project that has a long-term utility use case you can attempt to risk it but know this altcoin is a highly volatile market.

No I said I have some other top 20 not all of the top 20 - I have 8 in total I am invested in I am just thinking of adding a couple of micro caps too to hold until the next bull run and hope they do a 100x or something.

I am not talking about investing hundreds of pounds into these coins i mean maybe £200 maximum in the hope that it can be turned into £20k or even £40k.

Yes it is gambling but I have seen people earn a lot of money this way, the risk to reward ratio seems worth it as long as you keep the amount you invest sensible.

I have a few micro caps in mind for example that only have market caps of around £25m at the moment which is very low but if they have good bull runs then is possible for them to 100 or even 500x one day.

That's all well and good I'd just make sure they are real products with real users with real technology and a real plan. That way they can't default as hard. If it's just a scam hype dog-picture squid-game project, the best you can hope for is a greater fool theory where you come out ahead.

It is all a form of gambling, so is everything, but there's a lot of skill in this. The major question is if your level of skill exceeds the average participant also buying into microcap coins. If it is higher on average, you'll do well on average. And vice versa.

Also realize that the game is also by definition rigged against you to a degree. Whale participants and people with more knowledge than you are just some of the participants you'll be competing against. So you have to be not just a little better than the average competition but a good margin better.

I support investing in micro cap altcoins because sometimes there are altcoins that can increase. But the problem is that we can find it difficult to choose the coins because there are so many. Apart from that, we also don't know when the altcoin will increase so it will be a very long wait. But maybe you can try to look in the list of top 100 altcoins so you won't have too many targets for you to look for. And then, you can try to manage the funds you need to invest and then just wait until the altcoin increases.

Microcaps? They are the riskiest projects to invest into, I do have two micro caps in my wallet but I invested 50$ each on these projects because that's the amount I can afford to lose, though the projects are well build, Alutra is one of them and it's a web3 project too, I am just saying, make sure you invest very little amount.

Investing to a low cap altcoin who has no working product yet and hoping for a 100x gain in the future feels like gambling to me so I don't invest to those. Putting some small amount could be ok but I would rather focus my capital on some altcoins that have really the potential to give me profit in the future even if it's not that big. I would not be afraid holding them for many years as they already have real utilities.
Feels the same way but sometimes the higher risk we put to such project could definitely give us a good or prosperous gains. Ive kinda like OP whose investing on top 20 coins or even can go beyond top 50 as long as I saw some even the slightest fundamental or even influential reason to it. We cant deny that a good coin must have all features but there are always exception to that.

I've tried investing on some and managed to get 20-30% max on them. They are very risky and extremely susceptible to all manipulation techniques. Also, there is a huge possibility that you will be buying on someone's stash and they can easily dump their coins on to you and you will be left with bags that cannot be sold to anyone. If I were you, I'd just go and invest on some new projects with low market cap and hope to make it big from them. That's less riskier and even more reliable than throwing your money on some projects that people have no interest on.

Investing in micro cap altcoins can be very risky looking at the current condition of the market that everything is looking red with not certain direction of where the market is going next. Micro cap altcoins can be a good investment with a huge profits especially if such coin has good and experienced team supporting it and keep promoting it to the level of more investors getting to know about it.

The problem with micro cap crypto projects is the fear of it becoming a rug pull at the end of the day because sometime when the team of a project had tried there best spending more and promoting there project and it seems to be no good results, they might decided to dump the project which may lead to rug pull making investors to lose there invested funds.

There are few low market cap projects that can turn real gems in future so yes you are on the right track, the only thing you can do wrong is investing more than you can afford to lose, do good research on the projects and make your own choices, also do not put all your eggs into a basket, diversity can save you a lot of trouble.


Title: Re: Do you invest in micro cap altcoins?
Post by: Flexystar on September 25, 2022, 05:15:16 PM
As long as that alt is making me money I am all fine to invest into it whether it is micro or macro or virtually unlimited cap! This only matters when you know once cap is almost to the end and there would be sudden rise in the demand and price will go 100x. However, I am not that much satisfied with any of the alts yet because despite the fact that there cap comes to an end they wont really make much changes. After all only reduced supply or supply which is going to be zero soon does not matter if there are no investors to buy it ?

Basically you should look it the reverse way. Do we have enough investors for it? Will there be heavy demand once the cap is reached to its final roadmap journey? Then we could think about investing into such coins irrespective of the caps.

Yes I generally use %10 of my portfolio to invest in low cap altcoins. I generally use bitcointalk forums and coinmarketcap to find gems. I generally prefer coins with own blockchains and features. I also check developers which I strongly suggest. I tend to buy coins only when they are on at least known crypto exchange like gate.io or kucoin. I pass others. Investing into tiny cap coins is mostly about your research and luck so its best to not invest a lot of money as you may regret later.

From your post I see you either not being Frank about your portfolio or you are taking a wild gamble at things, if the latter is the case then you haven't the knowledge about crypto.
Yes many backs the idea of diversification but investing in as much coins as 20+ isn't wise, people doing their research on coins before investing aren't foolish even those who has the capital to get more than 20 different coins still do their research and limit their investments to at least 5 or most 10.

Yes some low capped coins can come out to do 100X or even more it's a Risky game, and the chances of its being successful is limited, don't invest based of sentiment/feelings/suggestions or hopes. If you have the capital cut out some unnecessary investment you would have more budget to invest in more solid coins and when patients is applied would give good returns on investment in the long run.

It depends upon the market situation, if it is a bull market there is nothing wrong in investing a few hundred here and there in new projects as the projects might rally if the team is good in advertising them. In this market situation i will not risk in investing in any micro cap alts, instead i will be investment and accumulating BTCitcoin for the next rally rather than looking for those micro caps but will start looking by next year mid to find any interesting ones.

Investing in micro cap altcoins are quite risky. Most of the time those coins are scam. But if some one fortunately get something good it works like a lottery. But that doesn't usually happen. If there is no pressure on money then a small amount can be invested. But normally i suggest to invest potential and top ranked coin. Since the market is bearish now almost all the good coins have seen a huge drop in price so every one should buy those coins.

Yeah, I've a few of the micro cap tokens I invested in currently. I try to take a peep at them and know what roadmap and utility they've before buying in. In the past, this action of mine gave me certain level of gains with some and in some I suffered loss too. It's a very risky way of investing but trust me if you get lucky, the ROI is out of this world. I once bought a token (CiFi) at $2+ and it went on to do $380 within a few weeks before it swapped and then collapsed. I've come to realize that whatever one does with such risky and low capped tokens, one ought to know it should be on a short term basis.

If you have something worth investing in and you believe in it, I think it’s okay to risk as long as you are managing how much you are going to be at risk in that investment.

Even op supposed to comprehend from the initial that no investment of cryptocurrency that doesn't involve risk. And before any investment they most be proper investigation. And in other hands what should ring in the mind of any investor is advantages and disadvantages. Because it comes to my knowledge that anyone that doesn't know that cryptocurrency is made up risk, and that's the reason investigation or research supposed to carried before venturing in any coin.

Altcoins with microcapitalization more often than others can give many thousands of percent in a short period of time. But capitalization alone is not enough, because without the interest of large holders and Influencers no one will need this project. There are hundreds and thousands of such projects with microcapitalization, and almost all of them are scam, dead tokens. Pay attention to other metrics that will allow you to discern a microcapitalization project as a potential gem. Study the tokenomics and investors of the project.

That's right, investing in micro cap coins is very interesting and no one is against it, as they can sometimes bring us huge profits but we are in bear season, investing in them is too risky, it can be said that very few micro cap coins grow well. Meme or microcap projects should only be done during the bull season, as most coins always appreciate during the bull season. Bear season is a time to accumulate, not a time to make quick profits, like you are gambling with your money.

We have many altcoins that have good potentials, but the issue is that to be able to search the one that is good, because investment of altcoins does not require the involvement mistake via investment. So therefore it's very good to make research before adventuring into investment either via long term investment or short term investment, because so many of the top twenty (20) altcoins are good for long term investment and short term investment, but we have to scrutinized very well before performing any investment

I think if you want to increase your chance of making huge returns investing in low market capitalization coins is a must, even though it may rise the volatility of your investments it still could be good decision as long as you could manage your investments better, the thing with investing in low market capitalization coin is that it could quite literally make your small investments into something huge by giving massive returns, so I think investing in smaller market capitalization coin is still favoured.

We could really find some hidden gems in the market and this is where other people been trying to seek or find those coins which does have potential on folding up their value for hundreds or thousand multipliers
on a particular time and it cant really be avoided on not to get interested with these kind of coins in the market which you could potentially able to make huge ones if you do hit the right ones.
Although the risk is more higher which is common sense because we cant just really make out decisions without having those considerations or thinking about the certain risk involved.
Investing on low caps would be entirely depending on your own choice.

Diversification is a good thing in investment.  As long as the project is potential I don't hesitate to invest in it.  Early projects often have a micro cap since their market is yet to be established.  Even the known cryptocurrency today undergo this kind of situation.  So I believe it doesn't hurt to invest in micro-cap altcoins that have the potential of growing.  As far as I know, this kind of investment can give us 100x to 1000x profit in the altcoin become popular and established their market positively.

If you have smaller capital to invests then it make sense to invest in micro capitalization investment instruments like the new alts since they could give you more profits in the long term than investing in some ordinary coin that has already achieved massive capitalization just like eth and bnb, with these micro capitalization alts you could make your few hundred dollars investments into thousands if not hundred thousands investments in just short term.
basically whether you should invest in micro cap alts depends in your initial capital for investment and whether you want to make short term massive profits.

I think capital is irrelevant here, since anyone can invest any amount they are willing to risk.  Though I agree that new projects can give us more profit if their potential is proven right than those established cryptocurrencies that have already ballooned to 1000+x.


I think if you want to increase your chance of making huge returns investing in low market capitalization coins is a must, even though it may rise the volatility of your investments it still could be good decision as long as you could manage your investments better, the thing with investing in low market capitalization coin is that it could quite literally make your small investments into something huge by giving massive returns, so I think investing in smaller market capitalization coin is still favoured.

It isn't a must, but we should consider it.  Since investing in new projects often have high risk and many had been burned by this kind of investment.  Not all investors like to take risk, so I don't think that it is favoured, instead many financial advisers often advice people to invest in a project hat is already stable to lessen the risk of losing.

Seeing from your thread and your main aim is to earn the profit as big as you can with your microcap coin. I do agree if that can be only achieved by investing in the microcap coin. That reminds me when solana and any other major coin in the market has only small cap. it was able to grow hundreds or thousands percents in a short time. The key must be the bullish trend. The bullish trend will able to trigger the whales to pump the coin but this is still a speculation.
You must not forget that investing in small cap was pretty much the same like gambling on it. I will prefer micro cap rather than large cap coin. The chance to make profit is far greater

@OP Looks like you want to try your luck, in my personal opinion micro cap is a new coin or also assets that have small investors even maybe they can manipulate the price, if you can research well maybe you will get the gem of your dreams. But For now, I personally don't invest in any micro cap because the risks are big, it's also better for me to keep playing safe on top coins.
It's not limited for the new coins only, there have been projects that are quite long already but still don't have that huge cap.
Most of these low cap coins are easily to be manipulated by whales. They'll inject it with around 5 btc and it's going to pump while the whale or pumper of it, will get easy 6 btc or more back within less than a day of pumping.
It's risky and I don't want to try my luck with it because things could happen so fast there and if you're too slow, you're out and funds will easily get lost.

The important thing is that we can be careful in deciding to invest in low cap coins or still choose coins that have been proven to provide big profits for us. Indeed, there will be a temptation to try our luck in investing in low cap coins, and if we are still unsure, we really shouldn't have to invest our money so as not to lose later.

But most people will be tempted to try it because there is bad news out there, and they don't analyze it further or look for other news. They immediately bought and stored it, and it turned out that the coins could not increase at all. This is bad news for them.

But since there's a tons of micro cap out there probably hundred of thousands coins existing today, It's very hard to spot a coin that whale will manipulate unless you are connected to the group of whale itself that plans this trading scheme to trap small fish money.

This is really risky and sometimes a waste of time because small caps usually slowly die or side ways for a long time since there's no interest on this coin.

Micro altcoins are good but they are full of risks and if you are really serious about investing in micro altcoins you should also do deep research to get information about the future potential of the coin. most of them only for short term. but if we can have it long term it will become hidden gems.
Yes, it is true that if you want to invest with altcoins like that, it is very necessary for us to be really careful in choosing the coins we want to buy and my advice is to choose a project that offers more sophisticated technology than the altcoins that have been present in the market before, because projects launched by implementing more sophisticated technology will usually be more attractive to investors so it is likely that the price will grow well.

@OP Looks like you want to try your luck, in my personal opinion micro cap is a new coin or also assets that have small investors even maybe they can manipulate the price, if you can research well maybe you will get the gem of your dreams. But For now, I personally don't invest in any micro cap because the risks are big, it's also better for me to keep playing safe on top coins.
It's not limited for the new coins only, there have been projects that are quite long already but still don't have that huge cap.
Most of these low cap coins are easily to be manipulated by whales. They'll inject it with around 5 btc and it's going to pump while the whale or pumper of it, will get easy 6 btc or more back within less than a day of pumping.
It's risky and I don't want to try my luck with it because things could happen so fast there and if you're too slow, you're out and funds will easily get lost.

But since there's a tons of micro cap out there probably hundred of thousands coins existing today, It's very hard to spot a coin that whale will manipulate unless you are connected to the group of whale itself that plans this trading scheme to trap small fish money.

This is really risky and sometimes a waste of time because small caps usually slowly die or side ways for a long time since there's no interest on this coin.

This is risky when we invest in microcap projects but if we find a really good enough project its returns are huge. Each has its own pros and cons, it is safer to invest in huge, top projects but the return won't be huge but we expect. Investing in new projects, micro cap, the risk is that you can lose your investment, but in return if you choose the right project, the profit it brings can help you change your position.
Depending on the investment style of each person, microcap projects should not be underestimated and underestimated.

Real money can be made from micro cap coins, the higher the risk the bigger their reward and not all micro caps are bad, some haven't created enough awareness for themselves and some are still in beta phase, like few new play to earn games that aren't up and running yet but the team are working, invest few hundreds of dollars and you might make insane money later.

You'll barely see that there will be whales to give that sign on a particular coin that they're going to pump.
It's hard to see them in action and we'll only see them once a micro cap altcoin is already pumping.
The problem is on that actual moment when they are pumping because the risk is really there and we can't stop them from doing so. So, it is that you take the risk or just let them see their own pump and dump.

...looking at adding a few micro cap altcoins in the hope one or two 100x or more over the next few years...

There is no guarantee that the coins you selected with a low capitalization will bring a big profit. And the opposite may happen, that you will lose all the money that will be invested in these coins. So it will be more like a casino, not an investment.

If you are hungry for risk, then you can take this path. Micro cap coins are mostly for short-term profits which can also be found in trading instead of investing. So, if I would choose then I'd take the trading part of it so mentally I am prepared about what could happen than invest with it and be stuck thinking of future gains.
But as you mentioned in your opening, it seems like your portfolio is already solid. Maybe you are really looking for something to play with.

Although micro cap projects are highly risky but if you are lucky enough to invest on a good one you will be very happy with your investment.
The best way to manage micro cap investment is proper follow up, it is important to follow all the activities of the project, be alert with price movement and know when to sell and get out.

These altcoins with a micro cap have a great risk. If you do not know what to do, you may encounter some profits, but at the same time the price may fall to near-zero areas, so I advise you to risk only a small part of the capital, I also advise you not to keep it In the long term, it is better to do short and medium deals.

Investing in microcap altcoins is very risky. There is a possibility of 100X or 200X profit as well as a possibility of 100% loss. Proper research should be done before investing in such a project. It is better not to invest in such projects during bear market. Because if you invest now, there is less chance of profit.

Because micro cap altcoins if the pump price is only for a short time, which is where most of the micro cap altcoins are used by whales to pump and dump.
Based on my experience it is very difficult to make profit from micro cap altcoins, and what you say is true we should avoid investing in micro cap altcoins
if we don't want to lose money. Because sometimes it doesn't just take good analytical skills to find good micro cap altcoins, but we also need luck.
Especially in a bear market situation, most investors are more focused on investing in top coins, which one is safer to buy.

When I have invested in micro cap altcoins and hope to make big profits, in fact micro cap altcoins if the pump time is relatively short, it means that
when  the price of micro cap altcoins rises, they must move quickly to sell them. Because if the price has gone up, the price will immediately fall in
a short time. The conclusion is that investing in micro cap altcoins is only for the short term, if holding too long then we will lose money. Consider carefully
if we want to invest in micro cap altcoins, which is a very high risk.

"Can be" is a great way of saying that you could also lose all your money as well. Sure if you are invested into a micro cap then there is a chance it could go 100x that others can't, because bigger cap places can't go 100x, can you see bitcoin becoming 2 million dollars soon? Of course not, that's 100x for bitcoin and can't happen.

Whereas, something that has like 1.5 million dollars cap, could end up with 150 million dollars cap and that's nothing in crypto world, and that's why people invest. But while we are doing it, let's remember that it could also go down to zero or near zero and make us lose all our money too, that's the risk we are taking with micro caps.

Seeing from your thread and your main aim is to earn the profit as big as you can with your microcap coin. I do agree if that can be only achieved by investing in the microcap coin. That reminds me when solana and any other major coin in the market has only small cap. it was able to grow hundreds or thousands percents in a short time. The key must be the bullish trend. The bullish trend will able to trigger the whales to pump the coin but this is still a speculation.
You must not forget that investing in small cap was pretty much the same like gambling on it. I will prefer micro cap rather than large cap coin. The chance to make profit is far greater
The ability to pump quickly is what make some investors look toward micro-cap coins since there have limited circulating supplies it is easy for them to pump quickly, but aside from that there are some limitations that make low cap coins not too favorable for investors most especially those wanting to hold the coin for the long term, it is not advisable for long term investment but if you are looking for quick profits with high-risk one can look in their direction but aside from that, I don't see their significance.

Small tokens are too risky to hold for long term, this is not advisable. I used to buy meme tokens before and follow the hype but since it drops that much and there’s no hype anymore I stop buying small tokens. I can say you can only make money here if you bought early, but if you ride at the peak most probably you’ll get trap on that. Small tokens tend to be a scam project as well so be careful with those small tokens, not all is worth the risk.

It is true that the bigger, and more well-known cryptos like Bitcoin, and Ethereum have the most prospects in the long term.

In general, there are several things that must be considered when choosing which micro cap altcoin to buy including there is a strong team behind it, what chain network use, etc.

In my opinion, use micro cap altcoin investments for the short term, but there is still potential for some great gains if we see another bull run in the next year or so.

Micro altcoins are good but they are full of risks and if you are really serious about investing in micro altcoins you should also do deep research to get information about the future potential of the coin. most of them only for short term. but if we can have it long term it will become hidden gems.
People must have deal with the risk otherwise they will be so difficult to earn profit from the market. So many times people who bought altcoins at the bottom able to make bunch of money. that proves that if the more risky and the potential to get profit is also very high at this moment. I think that the basic thing for someone to invest in the crypto is when dealing with the risk or you will never earn good profit from the market.

In the crypto world, the higher the risk, the greater the profit we generate. So we sometimes have to be willing to take risks if we want to
make big profits. But of course it must be with careful preparation and calculation, don't let us be careless in choosing the wrong projects
for investment. The conclusion is don't let greed control us, where we are very obsessed with big profits, then without doing good planning
end up making the wrong decision. Actually it doesn't matter if we choose to invest in micro cap altcoins, although the market situation is
bad and the risk is also very high. If accompanied by careful preparation, like we really do research and analysis properly, to ensure that
the micro cap altcoins we choose are potential and have a good future. By doing that we should be able to make a profit from investing
in micro cap altcoins. Most importantly, don't choose projects based on other people's recommendations, which are not necessarily good choices.
We must believe in our own research and analysis capabilities.

Micro-cap coin investment does require a strong mentality because the risk is too high compared to investing your top 20 coins in the market, because the micro-cap investment project is not clear yet, but if you dare to take the risk, don't hesitate to try because the price of micro-cap coins -cap -cap will be higher in the coming year, provided that if the project is successful, but for now the unstable market is better to invest in the top 10 koi in the market

Hi all

I have Bitcoin and Ethererum and a few other top 20 cryptos but looking at adding a few micro cap altcoins in the hope one or two 100x or more over the next few years.

Be interesting to hear who is for and against micro cap altcoins?

If you own any what is your plan with them and if not why do you not believe in them?
It is risky mate, this is  one of the riskiest  way to invest as micro cap altcoins nowadays are showing no competence and profitable .
but it is your decision to make if you wanna gamble or not, but If I were you? i better stay in like what you are doing Holding top 20 coins with bitcoin and Ethereum in it.
the safest and secure investing you can find all over crypto world.

I tried once and didn't do it again.
It was SAFEMOON where I put only $20 to buy it. At first it went pretty well and I'm having some good profits just by holding it but after few days, it went down and down until my initial money lost a huge percentage of it. In the end, my $20 initial capital at that time went to $3 and I will never, ever invest into low marketcap coins again.

Plans with them? When I invested, I have no plans but to sell it when it will pump because that's what investor's reason is that's why they are investing into low marketcap coins. They are hoping that one day, it will pump 10-20x then they will sell but this only happens a few times and you don't know which coins will pump. Investing in low marketcap coins is like gambling to me where there is a high chance that you will lose your money.

For me, I'd rather focus on the top 20 coins base on market cap but if you really want to invest into low marketcap coins then you can but don't expect too much because most of the time, you will lose money investing to these altcoins.

Safemoon was hyped by influencers at the time when SHIB was also hyped by Robinhood and other big exchanges, which is why it didn't get success as it's overshadowed by SHIB hype. Plus there are many bloggers also telling it's more of a scam by the name itself.

I'm always on the lookout for tokens that were hyped by big influencers because it's easy money but at the same time also limits the risk. If I am too early in investing in a hyped token, I'd just go for $200-300. Lesson learned is worth it while just losing a small amount.

Market conditions that are still bearish certainly make us have to be more selective, many altcoins are dead or transactions less than $ 10k per day so that it is better to invest in top coins or new projects supported by professional teams.

It is noticeable that some of micro cap altcoin is performed really well. But investing on those I think there will be still some risk for you . Specially market is not in good position it is also in risky zone now . So my suggestion will be for you that ignore investing on micro cap altcoin choose top coins now for investing.

Yes, investing in micro-cap alt has several benefits that larger capitalization levels lack also rapid roi a few days to a few weeks there is significant upside easy 5x to 10x gains low investment this sector is highly volatile with 50% daily gains or losses being the norm small investments might bring enormous rewards in this market segment riskier is better This market capitalization level requires a special investing technique Microcap investing is lnvesting is less about the project and more about  perception especially in  micro-cap play to earn gaming. Dogecoin and shibu inu 's ascent is less about the project fundamentals and more about marketing and excitement while project fundamentals are crucial investor perception matters most and the marketing team backing the project Micro cap project prices at least initially have little to do with the business and more to do with investor sentiment.

I tried it before and had some success especially when the market is generally doing good. But for now, it is difficult due to the market situation. So for now, I only have League of Ancients or LOA and Synergy of Serra. I believe these NFT play-to-earn games have very good potential but I think I made a bad decision by investing at the start of a bearish market. I could've purchased them now at cheaper prices. 

The reason why I continue to look for micro-cap altcoins is that every coin at the top started as a micro-cap altcoin. And I want to catch some of these projects that have high ROI. Risky but it will be worth it when successful.

Hi all,

I am thinking of investing into AllianceBlock (ALBT) after hearing good things particularly that it is in partnership with Quant which is a project I am invested in and think has great potential.

Current market cap of only £13m it has a lot of room to grow so thinking of DCA for next few months and hope for a great return in 1-2 years.

Only annoying thing is it has pumped 75% this last week so will wait for it drop down again to around £0.04 before I start investing.

For AllianceBlock to reach a £1b market cap it will give us a 77x return which shows how small this is currently so sounds like a good risk to reward play to me.

Anyone else invested or know anything about Allianceblock and its potential?

Top 20 coins in the market is not a guarantee that this coins will do well. Remember how LUNA ended. What and where was LUNA before its great fall? It was top and highly recommended then before what happened to it happened. Do not make the mistake of buying any coin based on its current market rating. It is not always a true reflection of the value of the coin.

I do buy low cap coins and am sure most people do. Once I feel a coin is cheap and right to cast cash on, I do if I have the cash for it.

I don't have any micro cap projects in my radar that are already tradeable. I am part of a few telegram groups though that let you invest into the private sale roudns of new and upcoming projects and it seems like magicsquare is a pretty good new and upcoming project. It already received funding from BinanceLabs, Kucoin, Huobi and others. As far as i know the TGE of magicsquare is planned for Q1 of 2023. So once that is tradeable i will try to snatch some tokens there.
Also always keep in mind that with such new and small projects you have the chance of a x100 of your investment but you also have the chance for a total loss of your investment and i would say that the cances that you lose your investment are even way higher.

The less the capital involved more is the chance of seeing artificially made pump and dump on that asset. Hence it is better to keep the coins safe in the top 10 list than go with such altcoins.

Even then you can try your hand on shitcoins but the general opinion regarding them is negative because of what I said above. Whales who own such coins, promote them and dump it on some newbie who gets the handicap and pulls it through unable to sell it anywhere.

Trust me it is not a fun thing. But who knows maybe you can find the needle in the haystack and make loads of money.

Coins with low capitalization have always attracted me, because the prospect of earning on them is very high. Such coins are quite capable to give growth in 100 and even in 1000 times, but it is not easy to find such coins. Of course, there are big risks here, the invested money can be lost very easily and you need a special approach to selection and search. 
Yep the risk is so high and there are a lot of people gamble their money for these low capitalization coins hoping that they can get massive profits from it. Diversification is the key in these profitable strategy. These have been proven on the last bull run where it created many millionaires by having low cap coins. I remember LUNA was one of those low cap coins before and I'm sure there are few people who bagged that coin and happen to be a millionaire or billionaire at the time of the price peak.

Did you mean lower cap cryptocurrency? I think it's very difficult to increase your investment 100x by micro cap coins in a few years holding, definitely it will highly risk investment, because i'm experienced with several such coins, those already dead within two years. some coins are delisted from binance and another major exchanges, so that project is collapsed and i don’t believe those will come back in the market.

I think that you must mention even with low capital and you can also have possibility to get huge returns. People mainly picking micro cap caused by they have seen how big potential that can be given by micro cap coins compared with major coins.
I think that these days people still prefer to take micro cap rather than big cap as their investment.
