I am aware that DCA is better in a coin you know will last somehow long depending on how long you have to DCA.
DCA is the only means that is easy for me to buy coins. Which altcoin can you recommend for me to start DCAing till  halving when the bull run is expected.
I am afraid , that before bull run such coin might have problems. I don't want coins above $100, so that it will be possible to run on good profits if the investment works.

My topic from 2018 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3987913.msg37787537#msg37787537.

A lot has changed in those 5 years. The world looks completely different now but one thing seems constant ... people still make the same mistake when assessing the growth potential of altcoins.
The price doesn't matter. Capitalization matters. Low capitalization projects have the potential for growth, not tokens with low price. But again, low capitalization projects usually do not have a finished product, they do not have a user base, they often have only an outline of the business, and this makes them unsuitable for DCA, because the value is inestimable, at any time the competition can provide a better product, or the same product but faster making your investment worthless.

DCA bitcoin, gold, good stocks. Not low cap altcoins.

if I didn't convince you and you still want to do DCA on tokens below $100 ... DCA satoshis. 1 sat = 0.0003 $

Buying altcoins in a bear market is bad. DCA altcoins within a bear market is bad too.

Don't buy any coin because it has cheap price or cheaper than $100. You can buy 0.003 BTC and hold it to get profit in 2024 or 0.047 ETH and hold it to get profit in 2024 altcoin season.

However, if you buy shit coins, you will not get profit and if they die in coming months, you will end with $0 as those coins or tokens will become zero in value.

When it comes to DCA, everyone here knows that it is a good tool to use in Bitcoin until the bull run comes. And we also have what we believe are other altcoins that we also see potential in the future. For example, one of the things I do with DCA besides bitcoin is the Matic, Shiba Inu, bonk, bone, and other meme coins although I know there is a risk but it's fine with me and I'm ready to lose or lose because the I wonder what if the price kicks in when the bull run comes? But these coins that I mentioned are the budget that I really set aside for them.

First tryout some altcoins that are useful for you. In that sense you knocked out some that might interest you when bull run arrived. If you are a risky guy then go for low cap altcoins that are indeed have potential based on your research or experience. If you are aiming for multiplier than check the low cap mid altcoins. No risk no gain. But if you want a safe one then go for doing bitcoin or eth dca. These two are the safest and might have unfold secure earnings but not same with a risky altcoins that could give you 100x to 500x.

Halving is an event associated with Bitcoin, and therefore if you want to invest in altcoins, linking it to an event related to Bitcoin is wrong, if it is, then invest in Bitcoin.

If you really want to invest in altcoins, focus on technical development, do developers work periodically to update the currency, does the currency benefit outside the platforms, what are the features in that currency and are not found in any other currencies.
Don't focus on market capacity, crazy increases, projects that make a lot of promises, it's an excellent way to lose your money.

Like ytanowy Janusz said, price of a one full coin doesn't matter, but i don't agree his claims about locaps not having finished products. Most of the altcoins haven't started with a finished product and most of them are not even "finished" as they keep developing. And then there have been overvalued icos that start from insane valuation and have only room to drop in price.

I would say that investing to lowcaps is ok, but only if they have something unique to offer and means to deliver it later. And by unique i also mean that the project is useful but unique approach to a problem that actually exist and isn't better to fix with a normal database. Many altcoins offer decentralized solutions to a problems that don't need decentralized solution. Those might have a finished product but they will die as no one wants to use them.

DCA in altcoins? It's not investing, it's gambling, especially if we're talking about relatively young assets. My opinion is that DCA in cryptocurrencies can only be safely applied to bitcoin. Altcoins have no bottom, so all these attempts to average your positions can only worsen your position. Given the fleeting life of altcoin trends, you can forever be left with candy wrappers instead of money.

It is because bitcoin is the market mover and whatever things that happens to bitcoin affects altcoins. If bitcoin halving will truly lead to bull run, altcoins won't be exempted in the market growth.
If I want to day trade in altcoins what I use to study the marker is bitcoin chart and it works for me.

I know that DCA is for bitcoin but I want to try the gambling but it seems that everyone is not in support of the move.

I would say Cardano, Render token.

   -    I think dca can probably be implied in altcoins that you know are top listed in the market. Because once the value of bitcoin starts to increase, other cryptocurrencies are also possible to follow the rise of bitcoin's value.

Some of the examples are that if the value of ETH increases, all the coins under it can also increase, the same goes for MATIC, if its value increases, all the coins under the polygon will also increase somehow.

Hot ones are XRP and DOGE. XRP is quite noisy recently because on the emphasis on its issue against the SEC, if it happen to win the case then we could expect a huge leap on its market value but if not ofcourse the other way around will occur, problem is not knowing when will the issue be finished. DOGE on the other hand is also becoming noisy because of its increase on the past few days which made the idealization on its value again, alive. Now is believed to be the start of Altcoin season and  popular ones in this market could lead the uptrend for alts, more than the low cap ones. Just be sure to not enter too early and wait for accurate neckline of the charts. If it is DCA, I'd still not suggest futures trading but dpot trading would be better especially if you are into long holding period.

Then I think that you're willing to go with those altcoins that have billions of supplies because they're less than the price of $100 and you'll get to have them more.
As you've mentioned like you're gambling with that money that's the first thing that I've thought of. But there are other coins like Matic, ada, and dot that are in the range of what you're saying for their price. It may be a tough decision for you to make if that's the plan you have in your mind. But since it's your money and you know the risk and that there's a certain plan that you want to do, I just wish you all the best and hope that you may find that altcoin of your choice.

This is not financial advice.
I would not recommend to DCA any altcoins, I would personally not do so but if you still want to, be sure that is an altcoin which is likely not to dump to very low levels this year and has a very long history in the market. There are alts which I would like to DCA, like Monero but the fact it does not have a capped supply turns me down.

Buying very small coins instead Bitcoin, specially having expectation on the next bull run can be very risky, why not just to stick to Bitcoin and Ether?

First off coin price is not relevent probably more so the market cap of a coin.  But either way if you are looking for a good project that should have a good run up through halving would be MATIC/POLYGON. Project has been progressing nicely and is hovering in a good price range at around $1.15.  Either way DCA isn't a bad strategy through the halving.  Good luck to you.

dogecoin and LTC are my first choice to hold when it comes to altcoins because i also use them to play in casinos. doge is my priority as its fast and it's constantly increased in value since the time it dip to $0.07. it's lighter to worry about while holding doge because i know it became the most popular altcoin due to Twitter.

the cheaper it is, the better for an investor to buy doge while BTC halving has yet not happened.

Doge can be a good option because it is always somehow in the trend thanks to Elon Musk and other activity that has kept it relevant over the years.

OP for any altcoin or altcoins you choose to DCA, ensure that Ethereum is a part of them, because it will first show the effect of the halving as the most reliable altcoin.

First I will advise not to focus on price while investing in cryptocurrency. Another advise is to always consider bitcoin and Ethereum while investing and the reason is bitcoin is very important in the life of cryptocurrency and Ethereum is very important in the life of altcoins. You can invest whatever amount you want in Satoshi for bitcoin and units of Ethereum. And another advise is if you want to invest in altcoins, dogecoin and Litecoin looks good, they are both used in gambling casinos which means they will be relevant for a long time unlike other altcoins that have not been recognized in crypto investment.

First, why you wanted to buy coins below $100? I mean what's the difference if you bought a coin below a hundred dollars, and a coin that's above a hundred dollars? I can't see the reason behind it because you can still buy Bitcoin even if you don't have $100, and you can also buy Ethereum even if you don't have $100.

Well, DCA on altcoins in a bear market isn't a bad thing like what other are saying here. I mean if you go buy Ethereum monthly, you sure will get profit over time. Now to answer your question, I guess just go pick those top coins out there who's below $100. LINK, ADA, DOT, SOL.

If you wanted to go DCA into altcoins, I'd suggest go buy Ethereum.

DCA seems to be used in BTC only. If you want to invest in altcoin just buy in bulk with your allocated amount for it like $500-1000 for every altcoin you see potential. But just buy the altcoin with a price that is below $1. It would be too much to invest a lot in tokens with a price of more than $100 already when you could have a massive profit from altcoin that is worth $0.10.

I'm actually interested in "betting" some into projects that offer Layer2 network scaling. I noticed that since the existence of polygon matic which was considered successful, several other projects (with a similar concept) also had the same success. At least until the next bullish halving, this type of project still has a chance to follow the market trend.

Hey mate I think you have misunderstood some terms and you were not suppose to use them in this thread unless and otherwise you have more explanation to offer to help broader our understanding of what you mean first the under-listed words seems inappropriate in this content.

1: DCA
2: halving

As both terms do not have a direct correlation with altcoin, while the first mean dollar cost average and if you apply this mechanism it then means you are stocking your assets in dollars, but in this case, you mentioned that you want to buy and hold some altcoin till halving which is not DCA in practice.

Secondly,  halving is associated with Bitcoin and unrelated to altcoin so in the content you may have a misunderstanding if you use that term for altcoins unless you are speaking on the general possibility of market increase after Bitcoin halving.

You should also consider it's not always the price of the coin, what if the circulating supply of that coin is extremely low and that's why the price is above $100, think also about the tokenomics, the FDV of that project.
About DCA, I highly suggest you do it on high market cap altcoins which have a lot of reputation because it will help your fund safe, don't go for high returns because the risk there is also high.

Bitcoin price influence most of altcoins, not all altcoins, it's mean even though halving will happen, the altcoins will not follow the bull trend.

If you want to DCA on other coins, it's better if you choose want you believe. If you ask someone to recommend a coin to DCA, many people will shill their own coin and they will promise a crazy return that will make you interested.

Gambling is better based on your own choice.

I thought it could never be altcoin season at all if we're still in a bear market. The halving is still next year, surely any type of bullish season would not be this year?

First of all, I must be honest when I say that the cryptocurrency market is still quite small in size compared to other financial markets such as gold, stocks, real estate,... And the answer is about potential. its price increase in the future I think there is. But referring to the btc halving event to talk about the next bull cycle I think this is possible, and there will be a lot of options but first btc will go up and then altcoins after, so so I would still recommend OP to use DCA for btc before thinking of altcoins.
Even so there are a lot of top altcoins in the market with great potential, and I nominate Internet Computer (ICP), the future of big ICP will be based on the evolution of blockchain technology and the market demand for it a decentralized software and data exchange platform. With the platform's goal of helping large web applications run faster and with greater security, ICP could become an attractive option for large companies and organizations in the future. However, it should be noted that the cryptocurrency market is very volatile and unpredictable. Investing in ICP or any other coin comes with risks. It is important that investors carefully evaluate the factors related to technology, community, governance and finance of ICP and make a sound investment decision.

Then it is strange that you want to use DCA in a rising market. This strategy should have been used last year, when prices were constantly falling, updating their bottom. Are you sure you understand the meaning of this strategy and the meaning of such action as averaging in general? The market is such, that there is no sense to use DCA, just wait for some good correction to buy more coins. But you have to buy only on falling markets, and not vice versa.

If you ask which Altcoin is good for DCA and long term investment, Of course ETH is a good altcoin choice. However you have criteria for altcoins under $100 you can look at top coins like XRP, ADA, DOGE, MATIC, TRX, SHIB. you can choose some of these coins, but still do your research whether the project can develop properly. For the recommendations that I put forward, it's better to buy bitcoin with DCA in stages, it will provide better profits when the accumulated price shows profits during a bullish market.

I'm not sure if DCA is the best way, but I don't support it, especially with a relatively small capital, of course it's a big risk when the market falls again. Would you be willing to make DCA results messy because you chose the wrong altcoin?

I know you want to bet in altcoins but I don't dare to do that, DCA is enough on bitcoin or assets that have more potential in the future while for altcoins it is still very gray whether altcoins will go up or will they be discarded, remember what happened to Terra and FTX.

Thanks everyone for your recommendations, I really appreciate. Some of the advices I met here are actually what I know and do advice newbies. It is just that I want to take the risk(otherwise saying I want to gamble) and see if I can have financial freedom this coming bull run period. I will still look at the advices given and more especially do my own research before I'll conclude on what to do with my funds before the bull run investment will start.

Questions like that are always dangerous in my opinion because there is always the possibility that people are just shilling you their shitcoins now. I always say, that a bear market is a good opportunity to invest into big and already established projects, that are usually to expensive already to invest in. I personally invested a bit into Cosmos and NEAR in the last few weeks and i plan to hold those projects for at least a few years. In my opinion both of those projects are already pretty big and i don't think that they will disappear even if we are having a few more years of bear market ahead, but of course other people could have different opinions about that.

If I'm not mistaken there are factors to clear out like having to choose an altcoin with a strong development team and a clear project vision, current market trends, future growth potential as well as considering your own risk tolerance and investment goals As you mentioned if You are looking for an altcoin under $100 with huge profit potential if the investment is successful. For some altcoins you can consider DCA up to half including Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and Solana (SOL). Why This altcoin has a strong development team, a clear vision, and has shown growth potential in the past.

Maybe all this time the Bitcoin price pumping has not been so significant that the price continues to soar, and this is still only a third of a year away, there are a few more months to go and will this hit the target, although $60k is a pretty high target and it is difficult to predict given that right now the market is also undergoing a correction, although there are several months left and we will see how far the pumping will go.

I like Render tokens.  It's a solution for online graphics.  Strong development metaverse will need a lot of tools to complete projects, Render (RNDR) is a good project that we can trust because of the problem it solves.

If comparing ADA and ETH, I lean more towards ETH.  ADA has not made any significant breakthrough since they launched the token on their project.  Meanwhile, ETH has many improvements and upgrades in terms of technology and consensus.

Among the many major altcoins, I recommend you to have a look at Aptos (APT) and also Oasis Network (ROSE), both of these projects are L-1 projects that have good fundamentals for the security of your investment. Apart from the fundamentals, the communities of these two projects are also quite active, so if you find a problem or anything you want to ask about the project, you can join their active discussion.

* I don't recommend you to buy, but look first or do some research before you really want to buy.

Just be aware that lots of people shilling you an altcoin’s here are doing it because they own the coin. There will be a level of bias from most people who recommend you coins or tokens to buy.

Make sure you do your own research, extensive research if possible before you start buying any type of altcoin. There is big money to be made in alts, if you do your research & get lucky you can make life changing money.

I'm actually doing DCA but it's on bitcoin. I have trust on bitcoin that's why I'm doing a DCA technique in it. Maybe it is effective on top altcoins or the altcoins that you know that has a good potential to rise it's value in the future. I personally plan to do DCA even after bitcoin halving since I believe that even halving is done, Prices wouldn't really sky rocket that much or it can even go down. I would probably stop doing DCA when I think we are nearing the bull market phase. Just pick the altcoin you prefer and you have a trust on. Don't you ever step on sh*tcoins or those meme coins in the market, That way you can still possibly earn profits on the investment you are doing.

Yea, I have avoidance of meme coins. I do not trust the potential of meme coins, their success largely depends on hypes on social media.
The only meme coin that has a fluctuating potential is the dodge coin just because of Elon and his drama tricks.
I have my eyes on the altcoins, if I don't see any good one, I'll focus on Bitcoin.
How about TWT, does it have good potentials.?

You shoudknt focus on coin price what it sounds like is that you are looking for a coin with a low market cap.  Coin price doesn't matter much where cap does.  In any case you might want to look into matic/polygon.  It's a great project that has just continued to grow even during this most recent bear market.  It sits around $1 right now could see it double/triple in the next bull run.

LTC seems like it gets as good as any and BNB seems like a good idea as well. I know that those two are already high enough, but they had some troubles in the past that wasn't due to them but that wasn't their issue. Now that we are going into bull run, everything will pass and they will go up.

I mean they will go beyond their ATH and they are quite far enough that even reaching above ATH is good enough return, but after that it will continue to go up like other coins as well. So I highly suggest these two coins, they are old enough, liked enough, high ranked enough and they have a good reason to be bought in order to make even bigger profit than holding any of the other top ranked coins as well, should be a good decision if you ask me.

During the current bear market, many altcoins are at their support level when viewed from the big timeframe. Maybe making a selection for a few coins as a means of investment before entering a crypto bull run is the right choice. In my opinion, the coins that should be chosen are BNB, ETH, DOT, ALGO, CHZ, SOL, MATIC, AVAX, LTC. Especially LTC. We can underline that LTC in August 2023 have a halving. And the previous history after the LTC halving experienced a price increase.
https://www.litecoinhalving.com/

Why should altcoins?
Well, it's riskier than Bitcoin. But if you are aware of the risk, I personally would prefer top altcoins such as ETH, BNB, and also Matic. Even though I'm not 100% sure that this will be safe, at least I chose the top altcoins. However, in terms of numbers, money management is important. for me, altcoin investment should be just a little, less is better than doing DCA on Bitcoin. So, try and be prepared with various risks.

There was a thread here lately which talks about the potential of LTC and as usual, many people are still optimistic about the coin so I also recommend this one. There is no need to complicate things about BNB. Everybody knows their standings in the market, so this is one of the investors' choice other than LTC.

If we can add one more slot, that will be ETH for sure. Not that I mentioned it last, it does mean it's now the weakest but ETH rank is actually higher than the two. All coins struggles not just them. The issue not with them but it's about the market. Expected returns will still depend on how low we buy because if you buy at the top then the return you will get is only minimal even if the coin reached another ATH.

Even then investing on Alt coin is more High Risky but if investment on right places then  here also can possible to gain some good profit. But I will suggest in this case only for go to the top pairs of Alt coins because here you may have some more security for your fund and that's more important. In this case I think It will be wise to choose Ethereum, BNB , Litecoin, Solana, Polygon Matic because these coins are performing well and for the long-term investment these can also be helpfull to gain profit after bitcoin

Litecoin looks good and its halving is about 2 months and a half.
https://www.nicehash.com/countdown/ltc-halving-2023-08-06-11-00

Litecoin is one of oldest altcoins and it is a Proof of Work coin so it has less risk than smart contract tokens too. In 2019 halving, Litecoin rose a lot with halving effects and hopefully it won't be different in 2023 halving.

If Litecoin only rise to nearly its all time high with 2023 halving, it is so good for your 2 or 3 months holding already. When Bitcoin is stable again after its correction, Litecoin is very good altcoin to hold.

From the list on the market now, I suggest you check ADA, MATIC, XRP, DOGE, TRON, SHIBA, HBAR, CR0. Maybe there are more altcoins you can check but I warn you that you should be careful because DCA is only for BTC (at least, for me). That is because when BTC price is down, many altcoins will follow to go down and we never know how deep the price will go down. Some of the altcoins can directly drop too deep, while the other is not drops too much. And that is why choosing any altcoins you want to buy with the DCA method is difficult.

first thing first, are you really sure that the halving will do some significant increase in your altcoin that you gonna invest or even cryptocurrency in general?
because that should be the first question you ask yourself, mainly because there has been quite a few halving events that do so little to the value.
but if it's DCA until halving which is basically long term ones, i'd say some layer 2 like many have recommended are quite good enough, but you still can wait something like zksync other than the already existing coin which is good enough but it seems like they've drained of their potential already hardly climbing up, ARB and SUI seems like not that good investment choice, maybe you should pick other layer 2 that gonna come in the future.

Why shouldn't he go for a layer-1? That too an old one? I'm referring to Ethereum, it might be an old one but it is still one of the most promising and profitable altcoins out there. One can get better results by doing DCA with ETH than any other newly released altcoins, and even if they don't get too high in profits, they will at least know that their investment is safe if it's in ETH.

We all know that a lot of altcoins can't survive in the long run and even if they survive, they won't have the same value over time and will either get devalued or become too stable to generate any profit for their investors.

Responding to questions regarding altcoin recommendations for Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) to halving events, Yes. there are great benefits to DCA as a strategy, especially when applied to coins with perceived longevity, aligned with the duration of your intended DCA period. Considering your preference for altcoins ready to benefit from an anticipated bull run ahead of a halving event, it is important to choose assets with growth potential while also being aware of potential challenges before a bull run to mitigate potential risks. and for determining the "best" altcoin in my opinion it is still subjective and varies based on individual risk tolerance, investment objectives and market conditions.

Arbitrum (ARB) and Optimism (OP) are two altcoins under $100 USD that I believe are worth keeping as investments. Both are tokens with a large user base and a strong ecosystem. When the bull market arrives, the price of both tokens will rise rapidly in tandem with the price of Bitcoin. We can apply the DCA strategy to buy both tokens when the price is dropping.

i can't confirm that. Coins under $100 or cheap usually have slow price growth. especially now is a fast trend. if it's a cheap coin to stick around to the next bull run I think it's worth playing at #10 coinmarketcap . there surely we are at least sure for the future that we invest. but I have one coin that you can try. try to learn OGN coin . I think OGN is good enough for the long term.

indeed these second layer solution seemd to be really promising honestly.
the fact that they could get all that valuation and tremendous market capitalisation within short amount of time speaks volume in regard of what these second layer solution are actually capable of.
but the thing is, I think some of them are actually already having quite high value, though it's not really high but considering the fact that both of them have massive airdrops should be of concern.
after all, if the demand isn't increasing, the token might leaning towards losing its value overtime. moreover, i'd say investing in newer second layer solution might results in better yield, but we still don't know if the second layer solution trend is still there honestly.

Yes, some investors, if they want to invest in Altcoins, of course, the realm they choose is some of the top Altcoins such as Ethereum and also BnB, besides making their main investment in Bitcoin, sometimes some of them do it in Altcoins, indeed the risk is greater than bitcoin, and so far doing DCA here, I don't think anything has been too fatal.

different coins have different risks and different profits generated, coins with a low level of risk tend to provide less profit.
but coins with high risk will provide high profits, it's just a choice of people who want to invest in what type of coin and what type of risk.

I saw this thread before and read some post on what are their own shills to DCA and I noticed some of the tokens that are shilled and I'm actually doing a DCA with that coin right now. Probably hold out on doing DCA till I can because I believe on that token and I don't want to sell at loss. Let's all wait for the bull market and just chill out on this kind of market scenario. But yeah still doing DCA on bitcoin, never been scared on buying bitcoin lol.

With DCA strategy, choosing the right coin to invest is very important. You can search for coins that have technological potential and are appreciated by the community. Some altcoin options can be ETH, XRP, BNB, ADA, DOT, ARB, SUI... depending on the level of research and evaluation of each person, we can decide to put our trust in them.
Besides, pay attention to the fact that the value of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate greatly in a day or a month, so you should make investment decisions based on long-term goals.

While some of those coins have been around for a long time I will confess that the only coin I will feel comfortable enough to perform a DCA strategy will be ethereum, it is not like the rest are bad coins or should not be bought at all, but personally I do not think they are as solid as ethereum, and as such those coins should only be traded, while a long term investing strategy seems like a strategy that is too risky, especially when the market is as unstable as it is right now.

Well, the altcoins that you mentioned are all good and have the potential for growth if they are bought and kept for the long term, I personally think one shouldn't invest a lot of money in altcoins apart from ETH because that is the most trusted altcoins out there and the chances of things going wrong with it are very minimal, so it's better if someone invests a bigger chunk of their capital in ETH after Bitcoin and only buy other coins with small amounts to avoid taking too much risk.

And, with the case from SEC and everything going on with Binance, I wouldn't recommend buying BNB at this moment until things settle down and Binance comes out clean from all the accusations and stuff because BNB can move unpredictably for anything that might happen.

Altcoins that have the potential to follow the bullish trend are of course altcoins that do have strong fundamentals,
the most important thing is the activity of the project in all aspects, that is in product development or their social media activity.
if the altcoin project fulfills these aspects then 90% of the altcoin can be bullish after the halving.
and my recommendations are on Sand, Mana and FET.

I don't agree with that. Fundamentals are exactly what an altcoin needs to keep its value as high as altcoins without fundamentals and utilitarian properties. This is what helps altcoins last and have value over the years. During the bull run, everything grows, regardless of whether the altcoin has good fundamentals and utility or not.

During a bullish market bubbles appear, and this means there is a severe misallocation of resources by investors, and we can easily see this during the bull run, at the early stages bitcoin monopolizes most of the investments and its dominance goes up, then strong altcoins follow as investors try to increase the profits even further, and near the end of the bull run even shitcoins go up in value as speculators take over and invest their money into anything they believe can make them money, and only once the realize the madness of their actions that is when the crash comes, so make no mistake, absolute shitcoins can present massive profits during a short amount of time, even if their fundamentals are terrible.

if you don't want to invest in cryptocurrency that cost over $100, then I suggest you to invest in Matic, because currently the price of Matic is still $0.67 and I'm sure if a bullrun occurs, then the price of Matic can increase at least $3-$5 or even more than that, therefore now is the right time to invest in Matic, because the current price of Matic has not increased very high.

i think you should also observe the fact that some coin might have so much total supply despite its pricing which is kinda low.
this is the case with matic, although it might seems really cheap but overall they have too much of a supply that I think rising its value will be quite hard. not to mention even at the current pricing they have already
reached among highest ranked cryptocurrencies.
I think if it's for accumulating coin like matic better wait until there is massive cut in prices honestly.

This is a very common mistake that newbies make, they only take a look at the price of each coin and this leads them to believe coins like dogecoin or shiba inu can still massively pump and obtain a fortune with them, however when you take a look at their supply and their market cap then you can easily see those coins do not have nowhere near the potential they thought they had, and an investment in one of those coins most likely will result in a loss for the trader.

Of course if you see in terms of price is a very fatal action, which makes yourself hoping that the coin returns to its ATH, the current price if seen from each ATH is indeed cheap, but is there the potential to return the price of ATH back? It depends on how developers shake their marketing and increase their development.

Talking about matic, I think that even though they have a lot of supply, it is likely that Matic will return to its ATH in Altseason later, if seen from ecosystems, communities and networks are indeed quite in demand in several sectors.
But this depends on the view, each dyor, I have also bought some matic for Halving Bitcoin later.

you can do DCA EDU, ARB or SUI, because I believe EDU, ARB and SUI are new projects that have a great opportunity for the price to increase very high especially if the market is having a bull run, then I believe EDU, ARB and SUI can give you a big profits, then from that I recommend you to DCA EDU, ARB or SUI and hold it for the long term.

Honestly, investing in new projects is quite too risky for long-term investment. Of course, they look promising but the question is how these projects survive if they don't have a use case to keep their client stay? They will just throw them when bullish comes or after the hype, and the developer will just then leave when seeing it declines. They might be good for the short-term but not for long-term investment. But even though it looks promising, still won't give interest in buying. They get known for their airdrops but just look at their current status, they are declining badly, and that shows something.

probably arbitrum and sui, both haven't yet reached that much market capitalisation more offer their value has been going down ever since, i doubt this downtrend will lasts forever so maybe they are nearing the bottom of their price right now.

When the choice is to DCA, go with the top altcoins. Surely this will have low risk and bring assured profit when the price market turns to be bullish. As most of the people suggested, it is quite risky to go with new projects. If you're good at analysing the value and the outcome of the project then it is good that you can find the right project and invest.

Most of the time projects launched on the Binance platform used to be successful and brings big money within few weeks time. Nowadays this had reduced much. For users who prefer with lucky win could go with small investment on memecoins.

DCA in altcoins may be risky because not all altcoins may have good chances to survive and then rise up passing their previous ATH as previous bullish season. so, you must basically understand about the risks.
If you are willing to have some altcoins, never do in meme coins or hype coins.
I am personally doing it to prefer to some top coins, Ethereum is the best choice. hen, I am also considering ADA, Matic, and SOL. Bu it is only limited, not the high one because I focus more on Bitcoin that is more promising.

Without a doubt doing DCA with altcoins is simply too risky, this is a strategy that should only be used when you are completely sure the asset in which you are implementing this strategy is a good asset which will eventually recover the value it has lost, and as we know there are not many altcoins which fulfill that criteria, as a coin which may seem to be good right now may disappear tomorrow out of nowhere, and we have seen examples like this many times on the past.

Solana, Hive, Atom, Osmo, axelar, zz. Pretty bold from me but I use platforms these coins are native to and I believe they will do good in bulls. Good luck!

I get your vibe about the DCA approach for top altcoins. But lets be clear, in the wild crypto arena, "guaranteed gains" are a myth. The crypto world is full of surprises, and even the best altcoins can tank.

Your caution around fresh projects makes sense given the hazards. But remember, every hot coin started as a newbie. Smart investments boil down to solid project analysis and potential recognition.

Sure, Binance-launched projects had a good run, but dont bet your house on this trend. Crypto markets are a moving target, and yesterday's champs may not rule tomorrow. Memecoins? They're a risky throw of the dice I wouldnt endorse.

There are many altcoins one can invest on and make profits over time, try to research on the top 10 list of recommended cryptocurrencies for an investment, I will recommend you with few ones here and your first investment should begin with bitcoin then followed by some altcoins like Ethereum, Cardano, polkadot, litecoin, BNB, and many other fews you can choose for an investment after a thorough research on their prospects.

People should do well to take a look at the top 10 coins at the start of each year to see how fast this market can move, with the exception of bitcoin, which has always been at the top, very few coins remain there for long and the few that do, like ethereum, have no guarantee to remain there as they could always become displaced by another coin, so anyone thinking about performing a DCA strategy with altcoins should be incredibly careful about it.

You can't just do DCA strategy on any altcoins in the market. Since DCA strategy requires you to target in the long run so not all of the altcoins will be qualified for this one. Most of the time you want Bitcoin as your pick for DCA because the nature of always increasing every moment so it does qualify for DCA. ETH and BNB could be the picks as well for the strong community and use case for long period of time.

But if we are talking about halving then Bitcoin, because most of the altcoins won't directly affected by the halving

I don’t recommend to buy any altcoins for any investors. Because we can't tell a coin future movement. May you know the crypto market situation very week right now so why you want recommend for your investment. You should buy top coin at least have your own research. So most of bad market time we need to hold btc.

If you also like things that are really going to last a long time in the market and they are really unknown for the next bull cycles I have a recommendation for CELO,'
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/celo
actually in terms of information I know it will be easy. find good or bad things about them. But clearly the strategy here is DCA, and things with a sustainable vision will be prioritized, I am not one to pay too much attention to altcoins at this stage but actually in my mind there are many names worth mentioning. down money.

Yes, you shouldn't give any recommendations if you don't want anyone stuck with your recommendations. But when someone freely asks what Altcoins are good, of course I will answer the top altcoins like BNB, ETH. Both altcoins are still good enough for me to hold on long term, But need to do DCA to buy gradually as price correction is imminent. Setting up a reserve fund for DCA is highly recommended. And to hold BTC was already the first plan, Op Just asking what altcoin is appropriate.

Only ETH and BTC have done well in recent times. I'm not including the short-lived Memecoin season that happened over one month ago. In a bear market like the one we are in, many altcoins would not make it to the next bull market cycle and anyone not lucky enough to get out of those positions would end up being bagholders. That's how the ICO bear market played out. No altcoin(s) aside from Bitcoin and ETH can go pass their peak. I learnt this the hard way after taking a solid L from NEAR Protocol.

Are you still thinking that BNB will perform good for long term. after sec case , bnb is looking very weak and despite of green market where every coin rised more tha 10% ,bnb rised only 4 percent. I think we should now stay away from bnb because SEC will not allow bnb to blow up. i will recommend Arbitrum native token ARB for long term which has so many use case and can perform good in the long term

Dude don't judge perform of Altcoins just for few a month ago especially with newcomers but you should take a look for 1-5 years ago, BNB already survive for all crisis and build many ecosystem on their chain. BNB can't compared with ARB. Also BNB have a good fundamental for long term and much better than other altcoin. SEC lawsuit just small case for BNB, if you know XRP can againts with SEC Lawsuit. I think SEC only want control of market crypto and i don't care with them as long as coin i hold have a good potential in the future

Common man what kind of question is this? If you want to do DCA you should find an altcoin man. No one can recommended it to you. Because it's depend on when to start the DCA, When to Exit the DCA, How long do I need to DCA, How much should I DCA weekly/ monthly and etc... This depends on person to person man.  ;)

You can buy litecoin, which will soon also have halving and this can increase the price of the coin by 2-3 times. And this price will not be final and may increase along with the entire cryptocurrency market, which will be caused by halving bitcoin.

I do believe that reaching the ATH will not be an issue, there will be some coins that died since their last ATH so they won't reach it, but the ones that stayed alive will do that. I think it is quite obvious that we need to make sure that it is going to be an easy step into what we could be doing, and that's why it is such a big deal.

It is not going to end up with an easy deal, it is going to end up with a good amount of profit for people who DCA big names and they will reach the ATH price yet again. Maybe it will be right now, maybe in a month, maybe in a year or even maybe two years. That seems like the best case to handle it. This is why I believe that the best thing to do would be holding, dca'in and just waiting for the ATH to happen again.

It would be very difficult to pinpoint what to buy exactly like that. I mean we are talking about a situation where it would be very hard to consider how we could make a big change in the end, it is going to be obviously very different situation. I know that a lot of people will end up with a bit of a trouble and that is why it is going to be like wild picking. Some people will pick things that are not that great and then they will expect others to follow and do the same thing.

I am sorry but it is not going to be that easy, you are not going to find "one" special coin that you will be DCA'in until the halving, or even afterwards. I could name one, you can name another, we all could name something, doesn't make it true, we are all just assuming.

In my opinion, Nervos Network and Litecoin, for Litecoin it is certain that it will experience a pump and now it has also happened,
because we know that in less than a few days the Litecoin halving will occur,
if you buy it now and hold LTC until the Bitcoin halving then you will get x2 profit even x10,
as well as CKB as Nervos will also be doing its halving this year.

Yes indeed DCA is a strategy that brings great efficiency in investment, with this market and what is happening, I see that there are many altcoins that deserve attention such as DOT, ADA, MATIC, ... in addition to altcoins Today's top I also think some altcoins outside the top100 that caught my attention like DYDX, BAT, ROSE,... actually I think these are all coins with strong potential and they will last a long time in the market, and when the bull market happens they get the pumps.

The Litecoin halving is only 31 days away, it is very likely that the price will not rise immediately because the current market trend is still not bullish, but I agree that this will be affected later after the Bitcoin halving then Litecoin can win more than 3x that is my prediction, a sign of improvement Litecoin is still nowhere to be seen at this time.

To be honest, even though I don't fully believe in the increase in Litecoin, I don't hold it, but with another month of halving, investors usually take advantage of it now to wait for an increase next year, when the bull market will arrive.

If we are to also take a look at the numbers of altcoins we are having daily been introduced to the crypto network, we cannot get enough of these because there are many of them having the better potentials to make their investors proud over time, but the challenging aspects of it is on how to locate one in this case, which will still come back to advising OP more better to learn how to make his own research because he will always have the need to do so.

I can't recommend you a coin under $100 for DCA. Because if doing DCA I better invest in top coins on coinmarketcap like BTC, BNB, ETH or Ripple. Because what you are doing is not betting or day trading for profit.
It's unfortunate if you DCA a new coin and then you lose a lot of your dollars just because you chose to avoid a $100 coin.

People can diversify their investments... 90% in top coins (coins) and 10% in some new projects. We all know how risky is to invest in new projects, meme coins, and all other coins and tokens around, but we also saw Doge reaching $0.73. So investing a few dollars in some very cheap coins/tokens from time to time can be profitable in years to come.

I think that it is not necessary just to follow somebody advice but it is necessary to make your own decission and check all the information. It is better not to trust all provided information about project and check everything.

I say no to DCA in altcoins other than BTC and ETH.

Most altcoins are only for short and mid term holdings, but they are not capable to be designed for long term like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Although that we are just sharing our own insights and opinions, the final decision is in your hands whether you still want to do altcoin DCA or not.

This is an extremely strange strategy based on the price of a coin. It does not correlate in any way with its fundamental characteristics and tokenomics, so it is more like self-deception, because if a coin is expensive, then it is valuable and reliable. It isn't. Averaging old coins is not effective. Top altcoins, which are at the top of the rankings, are the most inefficient investment of your money.

Solana is a good choice, because I also invest and continue to do DCA Solana until now, that's because I believe if a bullrun occurs, then the price of Solana will definitely increase at least its ATH price, so of course I will definitely get a big profit by investing on Solana at the moment and hold until the next bullrun comes.

i'd say trying DCA sui and arbitrum would be great after all these two seemed to be tanking nowadays but we can't deny the fact that blockchain of these two has been growing so significantly.
I think it would be really good coin to hold for long term though one should patiently wait until all token unlocked to see this coin true valuation.

There are problems with many alts right now and a bull run has to wait a long time. So now there is an interesting option like web3 quest from TFS, where you can participate in their contests on their platform and get part of the prize pool, basically it's like a giveaway https://zealy.io/c/fairspin/questboard

Top altcoins are the most ineffective investment. They do not make good moves and yet they are not bitcoin. In terms of longevity, that is where the top altcoins seems to be more effective. This is because they have escaped the early growth pressure. But this doesn't mean they don't also fail.
As you said, the higher the price, the more reliable the investment is a wrong logic.

Thanks for the link, I'm already trying it out, so far it's been pretty easy

Instead of going for a coin below $100 I'll recommend going for coins above $100 but this project isn't just any random project that can crash off the market. It's a well known project that has its own exchange and Blockchain that other projects are using and I believe it'll be a top contender for the Ethereum spot in the next bull market.
I'm talking about Binance coin which is BNB, BNB is very underated in the market because it should be trading above $1,000 and it could do just that in the next bull market and that'll give you a good percentage of profit if you can start buying the tokens through DCA. BNB has potential and if you buy $100 monthly you can accumulate a good amount.
BNB is one of the projects that I'm looking forward to how high it can increase in the bull market. The developers are working on the blockchain and the coin will benefit from the new developments that'll be coming to the blockchain and the adoption that the bull market will bring, also the success of the Binance exchange will also benefit the coin.

If you do memecoins, I'll recommend $L, the hype is getting really strong and top listings are being secured. It is the first airdrop token for Twitter users and all blue tick twitter users are eligible. Would be listed on Bitget this week, just do well to DYOR and decide what you want.

Is halving really an event exclusive to Bitcoin? Cause recently news have it that LTC halving would be done in a month's time. Some exchanges like Bitget is even prepping ahead by incentivizing their users with LTC in anticipation for the halving. So I'm surprised you said halving is only a BTC event, please educate me I'd love to know

Dogecoin doesn't look like it has any challenge or problem and that is not going to happen before the bitcoin halving. So to invest in dogecoin may be profitable and the price is quite good @ $0.059 from CMC. However, you have to DYOR but base on what you are asking for, I think that will also help your enquiry.

If you want to choose altcoin then it's either ETH or BNB and nothing other than that. Those two have really long potential because it's being used in different project under their smart contract and hence it will remain strong even in next few years if there is no upcoming rival later in the future. Although Polygon is another competitor but it's not yet up to there compared to those two.

Or if we are talking about DCA then just forget about altcoin and choose Bitcoin instead, because that's what majority people do and it's been proven that you will see the price increase in any moment hence DCA is really promising.

Don't focus on coin price per coin rather it's market cap.  If there is low mintage making the coin price high it doesn't mean it can't shoot up higher.  With that being said matic/polygon at $.51 per coin is a nice price.  At this price I can't see it going g to much lower so a decent price to dca in for awhile.

I think you should DCA the sathoshi(Not altcoin). In addition to that, you can DCA the Ethereum.  Don't trust other altcoins.

These are few altcoins become zero due to different reasons

Eg: FTT, LUNA

i don't know why, but it looks like xrp will be the king of altcoins in the end. no one could beat him again after the SEC win.

I don't think BNB is good option for investing until halving time, price of BNB seem stable under $210 almost one month ago and looks more promising with Ethereum. Regarding with Ethereum price drop under $1,600 right now but keep promising with last several days success up above $1,700 than BNB looks stable in lower price.
After dropping under $300 last several months, BNB faced difficult back to higher price although they have many feature with launchpool and launchpad on Binance exchange, how much BNB staking or locking can't push to higher price and seems need huge investor amount of holding BNB to make price up above $300 again. Right now not good ideas investing or trading in BNB and better trade only with Ethreuem.

The coins I go for are the ones below $10 which I have studied in the past bear market and how they were able to grow in the bull run. These two Rune and BGB, are the ones I'm focusing on because I know they have the potential to repeat the same process as they have done in previous years

I think buying coins in the bear market is very much ok. Because it usually determines which coin can do pretty well when the bull market comes.

Ethereum is the best option, but I should look at $ARB, $METIS, and $ALGO. Also, i put my eyes on one of the last listings on Bitget, $ZTX a new web3 Metaverse that focuses on art and gaming and wants to empower the creators and gamers alike

It's quite refreshing seeing a hero member to recommend a meme coin although it's not an any other meme coin but it was the first one and currently at the top. DOGE coin actually has a challenge or a problem and that is it mainly relies on the manipulation. Currently it was Elon Musk who is known to be the main controller of the coin.

DOGE coin might only be very cheap and is qualified on the budget of the OP but low price isn't all. OP should change this as a criterion for picking a coin. BTC might be expensive crypto right now, but we are not forced to buy a whole of it if we lack in budget. The small money we can allocate for investing is always enough to get some portion of it.

It seems to me that any altcoin is independent of halving. Halving only affects bitcoin inflation and reduces the supply of coins. All other market growth starts after halving only because of the hype around cryptocurrencies. Therefore, BNB or any other coin can equally grow during a bull run.

This is what many of the altcoin folks deny. They think and say that it's all due to altcoin season and there's no contribution from Bitcoin as if it's like a tradition that just comes to the altcoins just after or before Bitcoin skyrockets. But if we're going to analyze the entire market, all of them are reliant to Bitcoin's halving and moves.

There are many of them that go along with the effect of Bitcoin halving. But BNB as you've mentioned, it's able to build its own brand and the halving still helps it to show increase during the bull run. And as you have said, it's like a train that follows the tracks of Bitcoin every bull market.

I cannot deny that Altcoin follows the Bitcoin movement, and at the moment Bitcoin Hallving that encourages Bitcoin to find more adoption because it is getting rare, so at that time the news about Altcoin who has a good project will be more encouraged by some Altcoin investors will glance at Altcoin that can Giving them advantage in the Bullish Bitcoin moment on Halving Bitcoin, which Altcoin gets on the moment of Halving Bitcoin is trust and good sentiment to Altcoin projects.

Alt any time when getting bullish sentiment from Bitcoin and mastering the media as well as popularity will get the attention of many crypto investor communities, well usually people will get a pretty good increase in Altcoin from the Bitcoin Halving effect.

No matter how good a project BNB is, it is first of all a token exchange. I have seen a lot of collapses of big exchanges that no one at the time could have imagined. BNB is very centralised and if something happens to Binance, BNB will become one of the unnecessary altcoins like XEM, EOS, NEO and so on. But still yes, halving is a catalyst for cryptocurrency market growth.

Financial investments is entirely one's responsibility, especially, in a space such as crypto where it is not state that it is  a financial advice to buy or invest in a particular asset. Even when certain assets are encouraged to be bought, it is not for you to jump into investing without doing your due diligence on the asset.

My candid advice, whether $SOL or $ETH is being mentioned as an investment option worthy of your investment, I'll ask that you carry out a fundamental research on those peorjects and see if it sooths your own investment idea and strategy. Do not also forget that the space is highly volatile, hence an investent can take longer than expected to give dividends or profit. While you DCA, be sure of what you want to DCA on.

No doubt that whatever happens to its main business which is its exchange, it will definitely be affected by that and its value will reflect on it.

That's right about them getting the help of the media and publishers. It is the way to go for them to be recognized and its part of marketing for these altcoin projects for them to thrive into this market. Those that are new, really are maximizing the usage of it because they have no option but to introduce themselves in the market through mass media and any agency that can publish themselves on different or several articles and news websites that are related to cryptocurrencies. Because if they do so and they just trying to fetch with the organic engagement, they are going to need a lot of time for them to do so. That's why majority of the projects does this way of marketing even it is quite expensive.

It seems to me that halving is affecting bitcoin. Of course, it also affects altcoins, because the old altcoins become worthless. New altcoins show new perspectives that change after the hype fades. Eventually all altcoins end up in the dump. The main thing is not to guess the coin, but to guess the trend.

First, kill the idea that a bull run will happen during the halving. It could, but just leave it at a high probability. For altcoin to DCA, how about you simply go for Ethereum or BNB? I find these two altcoins to be reputable and worthy of hodling. You may want to add Solona, Ripple, or even Doge which is a meme coin, moreover, I advise that you diversify your portfolio and hodl a fair number of altcoins so you don't feel stuck or tied to one particular altcoin. DYOR too, It's only my opinion I'm dropping.

I think it's better you goto exchanges that list lowcap coins. Then find one or two to DCA. Exchanges like Bitget and Mexc list low cap coins but Bitget has low fees than Mexc. You can DYOR on any lowcap coins you find there before you start to DCA.

If you don't want to take too much risk then stick with ETH as it is the most influential altcoin in the market and has the potential to do a 10X run from here. DCA terms are only applicable to major altcoin in my opinion. If you want to diversify your portfolio with altcoin then you can look for other projects like Matic, ARB, OP and ICP. They are doing some amazing work like the recent Matic network upgrade, OP has launched OPstack and ICP is doing work with decentralization which is unique.

The other altcoins you mentioned have a higher probability of reaching 10x increase from the current price. The marketcap is currently at $250B and 10x increase implies a marketcap of $2.5 trillion marketcap which is almost 2x of the entire crypto marketcap right now. Given this details, I think it's far-fetched. However, it's likely that ETH will reach the previous all time high of $4000+ and probably surpass it to around $6-$7K

Other than that, your other picks are quite good.  ;)

true, halving might not be the reason the market will be having bullrun, and its not like the market will instantly become bullrun when halving arrives anyway, its the ETF news that has been changing the market for the better and make it go in the direction of bullrun. therefore having too high expectation and thinking that that we can make profit out of that event would be wrong I guess.

regardless I also don't recommend investing in BNB as of now too much problem has been going on with thisn platform, moreover they have decided to close off their service in the US this simply means they don't have access to the large capital of the US that can help the exchange thrive, which means might be a sign of BNB hardly increase because the exchange volume might tremendously getting lower.

For me, the dca strategy is the most recommended and most appropriate strategy for long-term investing not only with BTC but also altcoins and the altcoin I bought was ETH. Apart from eth, I don't know which other altcoins are good to buy using the dca strategy. Because what you need to understand is that altcoins have no guarantees in the long term like BTC and Eth. This goes back to the research you do.

Sometimes we have to be able to do our own research and have the courage to make decisions about investing in altcoins, don't rely on recommendations from other people. It's true that recommendations are needed, but don't swallow them whole and have to do your own research. In my opinion, the DCA strategy that is worth doing is only on BTC and ETH.

you don't need to think much, because you just need to do DCA Ripple, Polkadot or Solana and in my opinion Ripple, Polkadot or Solana is a worthy investment, because the price of Ripple, Polkadot or Solana will definitely increase very high at the time of Bitcoin halving, then of course it will make you can get a big profit from DCA Ripple, Polkadot or Solana at this time and hold until Bitcoin halving, so don't let you miss this opportunity to get rich.
