I did invest in lots of altcoins and i received many tokens from bounties as reward. I experienced that, most of the tokens turns into shitcoin or dead after a few months. Some Altcoins performed very good for a certain time then all of those lost 90-95% of values and still traded on exchange with so called volume. Thus process is continued. Even top altcoins also replaced by new altcoins. 2017 vs 2023.

Moral: I think BTC and ETHEREUM is better option for investment, Can be trusted blindly, profitable for long. Low Ranked Altcoins, Memecoins and shitcoins are just headache and reason of huge losses in long time. But anyone can invest his money wherever they want.

Can't really beat Bitcoin if you're for the better option and long term. But can't also neglect the experience of the others who have been making good money with those tokens that came out recently and they're only for the short term.

That's true.

Because of how quick this market is, those that are on the trend are also moving faster than of the two that you've mentioned.

The dream of getting rich suddenly is meme coin so you can't avoid it even if you want to because most new investors express this expectation. On the other hand btc and eth both are the best coins ever and you are 100% safe. Also you must have collected bad tokens from bounty which are constantly dead. According to me after getting bounty token no risk should be taken and when u get decent normal money sell them and buy and hold best coins like btc or eth.

Many are unable to tolerate the market's volatility, and as a result, they depart the market sooner than expected. While some project’s primary goal is to profit from people's investments (scam projects), they eventually quit the market after a large number of investors have purchased their coins.


Aside from bitcoin, the majority of cryptocurrencies exist to make a one-time profit. I won't disagree that most altcoins have made people millionaires in a single shoot upward, which has drawn more attention to them than bitcoin, which has a higher success rate. No matter how you communicate it to people, they will choose what will make them rich overnight. They can find it in some altcoins, but the danger is larger and might cause you to lose more than you can think if you buy in the wrong choice.  Not only may greed and ignorance lead to mistakes, but so can the altcoin you've chosen to invest in.

If you do really like for yourself to be that going for longer period of time when it comes to investment then holding with those top coins should really be your main priority.Bitcoin and ETH would really be always the

best choice but we know that not all investors would really be thinking up the same on which there are ones who arent really that patient enough to wait up for how many years before they would really be able to see
their investment gains or profits and this is why they would really be touching up meme coins or altcoin investments.We arent saying that its not recommendable or something that go against their interest on investing since its their money but they should really be careful on dealing up with these things. Risks is more higher but the rewards or possible profits is high too and this what sparks their interest on why they would be investing on something like this despite of the higher risks. There are people who do really get used to deal with high risks higher reward of things which they dont bother on whats the thing that in front of them.

Invest on what you can afford to lose as always on which on this way this is the only thing that you could really at least assure that you wont really be getting wrecked up on the time
that things turns out to be messy.

Those who want to invest for long term can definitely choose BTC and ETH. But those who want to invest in other altcoins and memecoin must invest for short term. Because these coins suddenly get hype and when the hype ends, they turn into shitcoins. And tokens received from various bounties should never be held long term. Because after a few days most of the tokens lost their popularity and became dead.

These two coins are SAFE for long-term investment able to survive in a market with competition that cannot be rivaled by any coin, so I think people by choosing these two coins they still have dreams in the future with high prospects.
Altcoin: it is a shitcoin that will not last long in the market if you do not have the skills to trade shitcoin then it will refer to losses especially by holding it is clear that there is no other hope, avoid if you don't want a headache when you have experienced before.

Btc and erh are undoubtedly the safest investment for long period. If a person want to have Secure profit from crypto industry then btc and eth will give him Enough benefit if he able to hold his share till next bull session. I agreed that others altcoins aren’t so trustworthy Enough, scam after certain time as well as has enough risk but it also true that, People earned a lot from those altcoins too. So we can't fully neglect other altcoins. People have their own choices. Let them decided what right and wrong for them. But i want to for go safe investment

I agree with your point of view that the majority of the altcoins are not worth the time and investment. After one or two cycles of pump and dump, they usually disappeared from the market, the same is true for meme coins (except a few). If you earned some profit from these coins, do not invest in them the second time.


Yes! The only safe and long-term investment is BTC and ETH. They have survived the worst period, and they have the potential to survive the upcoming market crisis. If you are looking for good ROI in the long run, go for BTC and ETH investment.

Since its a bounty you can expect mostly of them to turn to worthless. Thats why doing bounty is make sure whay you choose is worth it to do cause youll gonna do some effort for the tokens. When it comes to investment. Doing one with bounty programs isnt suitable cause it might not be progress but its case to case basis.

Maybe picking top tier project as investment is wiser than newly projects with unknown reputation. But there are some with potential you could put up early as long as you are aware of the risk.

I have much experienced with investing in several kinds of altcoin, from shit coin until altcoin who get top ten standing in CMC but there are can't promising to give much profit. Actually for long term investment only Bitcoin and Ethreuem are the best coin for investing and I don't think with other coins keep worth for long term investment. Many altcoin investor they not invest for long term and take profit when hype moment only and then leaves that coins looking for another promising altcoin for investing.
Many new project launching can give us chance awhile to earn profit but all investor never take risk with long term investment, they are investing with short term after hype moment ended all new coins investment have been sold.

Wrong, Ethereum isn't a safe token and can be trusted without you know the token. If you check it more deeply, Ethereum's developers are holding a lot premined ETH to enrich themselves. With the move from POW to POS, this make ETH become more centralized.

My investment experience, currently I only suffer unrealized lose, but since I invest in a trusted decentralized coin, I don't have to worry and will keep holding.

Lesson to be learn for that is never trust any new altcoins in the market just trade it and never hold any of those since their are huge instances that dumping will happen to it on short period of time. Scamming always happen on new tokens alts so better not to listen to any hype createf by devs or other fellow token holders.

Believing on top alts to hold is best decision since those coins already gain popularity and have solid community so we can expect something good to it if we decide to hold those top alts.

Never use Altcoins as a safe haven, that's the most important point to always remember, because altcoins usually run on the basis of the hype that is happening, that's the reason why there are many altcoins that have high prices at the start of trading opening and then the price decreases periodically in line with the hype is fading.  I personally have had some amazing experiences when investing in Altcoins such as Oasis Network (ROSE), Shiba Inu (SIHB) and several other altcoins, but there have been a number of experiences that have made me not want to invest in altcoins again, LOL.

It's caused by you didn't aware if you should have sold them as soon as possible and move it to invest in the legit tokens/coins.
How can you think a token with bad fundamental can survive till this time? It's not all of top coins replaced by the new altcoins. There are so many old top coins still exist in the top positions of CMC right now.

BTC and ethereum as best investment only if you had a lot of money. Are you sure investing a few bucks to the bitcoin or ethereum? it will not make you a lot of money and you just waste your time.
Bitcoin and ethereum price are very expensive and it's not even worth for small shrimp to use it as an investment.

Yes, you are right. It's good to use memecoins and other altcoins only as a short-term investment. I believe in bitcoin but eth lost its power, imho

I have had similar experience. Although I'd say huge gains are only to be made in alts, just remember to convert those gains in btc/eth/stables and you will be fine.

I know there are potential altcoins in these times, but it's impossible not to have them, even if you know that. But if you are referring to investing in new projects that are altcoins, the risk is really quite high. Here you can test if you know how to choose a potential crypto. I also had the experience of receiving bounty rewards, and almost all of them were lost in the end, to be honest. That's why most of the time I do it, I also sell it immediately because, for sure, there will be many people who will actually sell it. But before the bounty hunters could do that, the developer of the coins they campaigned for was ahead of them.

Actually it's depends upon project and it's hype. I remembered many bounty Tokens which rised 20x-30x from the time of distribution. Binance also listed some coins. after 2021 when market crashed then very fewer good project launched, investors afraid to hold and all ICO, Private sell users selling their coins thus you will see only dump in these bounty coins. I think better idea when you receive tokens is to sell 80% or 50% if you think that project is good and could do something extraordinary but if you think that there is no hype than sell and book profit. I am holding CRP(crypton) for  long term which i recieved from review and hope it will increase in future, if its not then no tention because still i got it without investment.

That's quite right, BTC and ETH is considered safest coins so far. Many people talked against Eth when it's migrated from Pow to Pos but i think Eth is still best coins to hold for long term but it will not give you fast profit and you have to wait long.

BTC and ETHEREUM are undoubtedly the best investments for large capital. 75% of all TVL DEFI is now in the Ethereum ecosystem.
But who wants to earn a little more and have more risks, then there are other fundamental altcoins, for example Solana, Polkadot, the price of which has fallen by 90% from ATH.

That is true if you choose bitcoin and ethereum as investment options. But I recommend choosing bitcoin as the main investment because ethereum could fall further even though the possibility is small.
Holding altcoins is tempting because of the possibility of making big profits during the altcoin season.
But we must remember that altcoin positions will always change in every altcoin season, so we must continue to analyze the coins that can replace the top coins.
Moreover, meme coins only provide profits for a short time and then disappear from the market and only the strong can survive.
So if you want the main investment, choose bitcoin because it has been proven to work well long ago.

There are some good altcoins to be fair but they are rare and eventually, you will gonna land some of the shitcoins if you keep the traditional way of investing in them where you just blindly follow promoters on Youtube and other social media. The best thing to do when you don't seem to find the right altcoin to invest your money with, it's better to be safe and put your money in bitcoins while waiting, you are guaranteed not to lose your capital and have some opportunity to increase or up double the amount of your capital.

Now a days most of the bounties turned into scam, and they bounties that were before one years or two was amazing and top projects in a sense I can say, but the altcoins, that is depend on the team behind it and the project features, that which features it got and how it performs?

Don't keep coins for too long, especially now that most of them are in the short time era. It's better to immediately sell it at a profit and go back to looking for a new project. It does look like we think the coins we hold will rise, but no one knows for sure, if they are not consistent with the project path they are making I think it will be in vain.

In my opinion, Altcoins, Memecoins, and Shitcoins are not suitable for long-term investment. They are suitable for speculation and making profits within a short period only.

I tried many Memecoins and Shitcoins, some of which I had good luck with and made some profits, and others where I lost large sums of money.

So for now I decided to only invest in Bitcoin.

It's the realitiy that bounty tokens are no longer worth it, they usually dies along the way even if they survive the early stage of their project. Try finding projects that you see a potential in, don't invest into shitcoin as they are the same that dies along the way. Altcoins purposes are evolving and problems of a top altcoin is solved by a new altcoin which is an improve one so no wonder why they are getting replaced. If you want to earn big on investment, try finding hidden gems in the market, those who has a strong potential to dominate the market in the future.

That's just how altcoin investing works. You find a new coin, you short it, and at the first sign of profit, you immediately bail out since 99% of altcoins are not worth holding over for the long term. Additionally, even if it was, it's not exactly too late to buy it later on, maybe during one of it's bottom-ed out markets (if you truly believe that it still has chances of going up). The other top-performing altcoins are better since they have the foundation, while the new ones are still building it out and tbf, most of them don't really bother. They just try to profit off of whatever they can from their investors.

this advice is even more recommended for project that got listed on exchange and immediately reaching their all time high.
its better to hold for short term, when it comes to long term always stick with investment like ethereum and bitcoin, they are good for this.

the thing with most of altcoin nowadays is that, the good ones are raising so high at the first time they got listed and went downhill from here on.
meanwhile the bad ones are just outright dumping ever since it got listed, so you know the formula and the cycle.
you could definitely make profit out of it.

With the experience that we've had in this market, we've learned a lot, and with the volatility of the market, we can settle for a few crypto holds because that's so much better. If you're a risky taker and you want to diversify a lot then you'll get to see and understand why the others are settling for less. Sometimes, a few is already more than enough to have a lot in your stash.

That's the typical market reaction whenever new projects get listed on exchange especially on the popular ones like Binance. On a serious note, those developers that have nothing but stacking cash mindsets, they'll be allowed to sell early before than the entire community so, there's already a big slash of the value of those projects and we've learned from that.

Participating in bounty campaigns is just like working freely, 98% of bounty coins are just shitcoins that you won’t be able to sell because they won’t even be listed on exchanges, and the ones that are listed on exchanges will be worth a small amount that you might not even be able to withdraw from the exchange. Bounties are just rubbish projects currently.

It’s just funny when people see good coins and decide to invest in memecoins and shitcoins. Some people are taking unnecessary risks, which I don’t really think is worth it. Investing in shitcoins and meme coins has high chances of losing money, but since most of them are looking for quick money, they don’t care about investing in them, which at the end, if they end up losing money, and they will regret. How will you invest in a coin that does not even have a reasonable use case, a team, or a road map? Some shitcoins go to the length of plagiarising white papers, and people will still invest in the project.

I think bitcoin and ETH are great solutions for conservative investing, but you can consider a strategy where you can allocate part of your portfolio to promising new altcoins that may grow in the foreseeable future. I'm not talking about memcoin-level projects, NFTs, gaming projects and similar shitcoins. I'm talking about really strong projects with a lot of support. In 2020 you could also argue that the best investments are bitcoin and ETH, and thus reject new projects like SOLANA, MATIC, OKX, etc. These projects brought their investors tens of thousands of percent of profit, while bitcoin and ETH grew by only 2-3 thousand percent during this period. In the next bull run the situation will repeat itself and some projects will also grow into new billion-dollar projects and bring the same tens of thousands of percent to those who invest in them now, but if you are sitting with one bitcoin and ETH, all this profit will pass by you and other people who make similar conclusions. Alas, I don't want to be among the people who support your opinion. DYOR.

Based on my experience, I also received tokens from my bounty campaigns back in the day as a reward, and I immediately sold them once I received them in my wallet because I already knew that they would only have a value for a few days, and then their price will go down after a week or a month. It is the reason that the only altcoins I buy and invest my money in are ETH, DOT, BNB, SOL, MATIC, and other top altcoins because I think these coins will have a better value during the bullish season, unlike other altcoins that don't have a good use case or just copying other projects.

I do agree that ETH should be at the top of the list for everyone, it's by far the best altocin and when the next bull run comes we will remember why. It may sound boring because it's already at the top and that is why people avoid investing into it, or talk about it at least because they do invest into it since it's still second ranked, but it should be reminded to everyone that it is second ranked for a reason.

ETH is a strong and independent decentralized project that managed to turn into proof of stake so you could earn interest from it as well. It will continue to be a strong project for a long time, I can't see it it could reach to a lower rank, it will stay strong for a good while and will be powerful.

Just invest in coins whose marketcap is high. If you greed for more and choose shitty coins, then definitely you will make losses. Basically the coins which are tokens at beginning have the high chances to do exit scams. So never invest in tokens at first. Also if you choose a coin with high popularity, then there will be very high chance that the coin will grow, as more people will buy it. So always do proper research and buy the coins. Yes BTC and ETH are one of the best coins to invest.

Altcoins are for just pocket money. Just don't hodl for long run. That's what I learned from my experience with alts. 8)

Talking about my investment experience in alternative coins I would say that most of my experience was bad. But the reason for this was mostly my own fault. Not being able to control my own emotions, then depending on others for trading etc. were the major reasons behind this.  But now I have learned a lot from my previous mistakes, now even if I invest in alternative coins, I analyze and then invest. My main point is that even if the experience is bad, learn from it so that you don't make the same mistake in the future

Most of the time you are right. And if you need money, you should totally move your bounties to eth or btc. But that token you got immediately moons, just remember that it's not going to be next eth. You are totally ok selling it yearly. Or if you believe it's going to do pepe like move, just sell most of it and leave a moonbag. Just in case it will moon.

Long time ago i saw one altcoin in charts that was mooning. I wondered that where i had heard that name. It turned out i had their bounty in one of my wallets and i had totally forgotten it. That can happen too especially in altcoin season. Most of the time it's not happening though.

actually investing in small coins is a way for us to go to real investment, namely investing in btc and eth.  I also have some coins from the bounty program I'm in.  when it can be sold, then I sell it and I use it for daily expenses and if the results I get are rather big, then I invest in btc or eth

Over the course of the last seven years, I've acquired a wealth of knowledge through my engagement in bounties and the subsequent rewards I've earned from them and many other altcoins buys and sells. It's worth noting that most cryptocurrencies tend to have a short lifespan once they're listed, so I would recommend that as soon as you secure a favorable price, you consider selling and reallocating your assets into Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Binance Coin (BNB) to adopt a more secure investment strategy.

The two types of coins at the top, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are indeed the right choice for long-term investment, so far no one has been able to shift their position.  Many believe that the two coins are the top choice as alternative potential investment assets for the future.
Regarding new projects, of course they will always appear all the time, the main goal is so that the Tokens they launch can compete with each other and become an alternative choice for investors.  However, many tokens produced from bounties only last for a short time so they are easily abandoned by investors.
It is likely that one of the main factors regarding the trading volume of related tokens continues to decline due to the absence of support from large capital owners to be able to maintain trading volume, so they can easily become worthless in a short time.

Well there are investors who prefer small altcoins than mainstream ones. Downside is high rate of market price voaltility unlike with big names of this industry. On the same manner, it generates higher risk. I do also invest to some but more of a short term investment on these coins 'coz I find it nore profitable than with my other assets being held and some planned to be held for a period of time to generate more.

There are many altcoins to choose from but to choose the best for everyone's habit of investment. So far I made huge from altcoin investment, higher than with other projects. Unfortunately, most of the newly listed ones are being a problem when it comes with actual holding and endurance of this ons.

But if we are just investing in Ethereum among altcoins (aside from having Bitcoin), I believe we are safe. The most important thing that must do is that we are able to know how to hold because it doesn't matter if we are holding BTC or ETH if we are impatient as certainly, we lose in the end. The winning strategy in crypto investment is to choose the right coins and be able to sell them at the right time. But very unfortunate that many investors are weak and easily panic upon hearing FUDs and when seeing price correction. 

Firstly, bitcoin is not an altcoin and looking at your title I think it cannot be used as a discussion because bitcoin is not an altcoin. However I do agree when saying bitcoin is the investment to make when in the crypto space as it is a viable first choice.

As for the other thing I agree because currently there are a lot of altcoins or tokens that eventually become damaged and only become ashes but I think we are already aware that things like this keep repeating and indeed the point we can take is to learn from mistakes.
So taking that into account I think for altcoins only big projects are still feasible like ETH or Bnb. But if you really don't want to divide too much in altcoins then bitcoin is the most appropriate solution.

I think that there are many here like you who invested in altcoins and received tokens from the bounty in which they worked for projects that failed or turned into scams, and the tokens become worthless; indeed, there are new altcoins that have succeeded and jumped to the top 100 positions in the market, and this indicates that we should not put our investment in some particular altcoins. The oldest altcoins for me, if until their positions in the market are replaced by other new altcoins, with the increase in their volumes and the occurrence of any positives in the price of Bitcoin, they will return as they were, there is a small percentage of probability that the oldest altcoins in the market will turn into shitcoins unless any catastrophe happens. I undoubtedly agree that Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best in the market and the safest options for long-term investment, but this does not prevent that there are many other altcoins that deserve long-term investment but any investor needs to take his time to conduct his research, and staying away from meme coins or low-ranked altcoins because they undoubtedly, as OP mentioned, they will cause considerable losses in the future as they are, of course, not safe investment options.

also having good entry significantly increase your odd of winning your investment, you can be all patient as you want but if you have really good entry like you are literally investing when the price peaked then you're pretty much messed up and need to wait for another bullrun to come and that with a big if the coin itself could reach its previous all time high.

so what it means in this case is that, you also need a good strategy to determine which time you should be investing, then you can make an entry meanwhile also be ready to wait for quite long time considering that bullrun might not be coming until 2024 and even 2025.
but i'd say that ethereum investment couldn't go wrong.

This is true but some of them might be gems like what happened with shiba inu and pepe coin, many people gained a lot of profit. Though some didn't, it's simply because they sold it too early and I personally know someone who did and regret it. I don't usually invest into memecoin and shitcoins, since I mainly focus on investing my money in good altcoin like ethereum, and binance coin. I always invest in those good altcoins cause it has lower risk unlike investing in memecoins and shitcoins where it has more tendency to rug.

But of course, just like what you've said, if you want assurance and are looking for a long-term investment, obviously Bitcoin and Ethereum are one of the top choices for that.

In the past years, the forum had several discussions about bounties rewards. Many participants shared their bad experiences with it and you are also experiencing the same. Not to wonder why the situation goes like this and it is because these developers create useless projects. Of course, nobody dared to invest in them which made it fail and have no market value as it was not even listed to an exchanger. So even if you are receiving rewards, still useless as you can't sell them.

Both coins you mentioned are still meme coins, although some people managed to take advantage of the hype, which created a great earning opportunity. Certainly, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB, along with a few other altcoins, are better for long-term investment, but altcoins create gaps that you can take advantage of. For instance, the newly listed coin on Binance, CyberConnect, provided the ability to farm it for 30 days with a decent APY ranging between 15% and 20%. Yesterday, it was on a massive rally, achieving an over 80% increase in value, while throughout the week its price had already doubled. This was a great earning opportunity for any traders who managed to sell at its peak. Personally, I sold at $16.10, and it crashed shortly after. I didn't have a lot of coins, but just like that, I managed to significantly multiply a few dollars worth of coins.

I agree Bitcoin is the main deal. Besides, it is what gave birth to the rest of the altcoins. But you've to agree with me that most of the altcoins are hot regardless of this bearish market and still stand a chance to get a hold. Talking about Xrp, when it comes to memecoins, I think Pepe still has a stand and people are trading it regardless.

Do you know what, this will not be the last of it, more shitcoins will come and more gullible people will invest in it, not that they are not wise; they are but they are not smart because the only thing they are after is the next 100X without understanding of what they are buying, how it work, the tokenomics and coins distribution, the circulating supply, the total supply and when to exit the market. It's funny how some people always fall for the "market will continue to pump forever'', you should know when to exit the market.

No coin is a 100% decent to invest, it really depends on when you enter the market, some altcoins are down by 80% and yet, there are couple of seed and public investors that are not in loss; not in loss in the sense that their capital is not rubbish(not yet) and if you look at the BTC and ETH that you think are the best, there are people that are already with negative value in what they bough because they bought mid way to the top and they are stuck with what they buy, so in addition to your moral, time is also of the essense.

Don't forget to also sell when you make enough unrealized profits already, some of the bounties are best sold as you receive them, they are reward in your value of the task that you carried out and not to be kept as investment, so you don't blame anyone about that; It was your decision to keep it after some thought and they died along the way, I hope lesson learned and get ready for another bull run that is coming soon.

You can never compare Bitcoin with altcoins. Even Ethereum is an altcoin though it's trusted and has a good reputation because it has been around for quite some time and has never faced a lot of issues with its price and stuff apart from the high fees from time to time. However, for diversification purposes, traders will have to look for good alternative coins that they can at least use for short-term trading if they don't want to keep them for the long-term.

And there are a lot of coins in the market that can provide good profits in the short or medium term since they are always fluctuating and don't crash easily, though there is no guarantee of an altcoin project becoming dust in no time as we have seen that happening in the past, with LUNA and many others.

Many coins have been distributed in bounties but they ended up with major losses and never recovered their ico price. But why is the OP investing in altcoins more when Bitcoin is right in front of their plate. The reason is that the prospective profits that could come in case the altcoin goes up in a high numbers is huge. But this hope is wrongly placed in my opinion when they can be safer with bitcoin purchases at low price and held for long.

Memecoins and shitcoins are all same, useless over the long term and only bring in problems and losses for the investors. They are never going to help the long term game.

Yes, there is no way you will invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum you will not smile in the future when their price increase, because whenever the price of Bitcoin is increasing in the market, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies price will be changing positively also to cause investors to experience bull. I have loss a lot of money on memecoins and shitcoins that made me to return back to Bitcoin and Ethereum investment, because the profits you will make from Bitcoin and Ethereum investment when you apply long holding, it will take you many years before you can earn half of that profits from memecoins and shitcoins, and it will make you to feel bad when you don't achieve what you want at the moment.

I can agree for meme coins and shitcoins because all of them have no great utility but they are only created for the purpose of pumping and dumping. While most of them are a complete scam. Altcoins on the other hand are a mixture of legit and useful cryptos, then there are also scam and cryptos who are not performing well. Obviously a legit and useful altcoin can also work better for the long term apart from Bitcoin.

If we want to earn a profit at a quicker period of time, we can use these cryptos as well. That way, we can only lose small if we are unlucky that something bad happen to our actions/transactions or we won't lose at all but just gain a benefit.

I also have a lot of bounty tokens or airdrops that are currently still in wallets, which after I checked almost 90℅ are shit coina. Luckily they are only rewards so I'm not so sad. But indeed, I have participated in the Binance launchpad 3x, and all three, I am always late to take profits and for now don't ask, the price is very disappointing. ha ha.. I learned a lot from this that investing in altcoins is really a higher risk than Bitcoin. Except for certain altcoins, I personally will increase the allocation to invest only in Bitcoin. Enough with investing in altcoins, especially shitcoins.

Absolutely, your experience echoes the sentiment of many who've ventured into the vast landscape of altcoins. The crypto space is highly volatile, and while some altcoins offer promising technologies or use-cases, many don't stand the test of time. BTC and Ethereum have consistently proven their value and resilience in the market, acting as safe havens for many investors.

That being said, for those who do their research and are willing to accept the risks, there can be potential rewards in exploring altcoins. However, it's essential to be prepared for the volatility and to not invest more than one is willing to lose. Diversification, solid research, and risk management are key.

What is the point of these usage proposals if there is no infrastructure where these proposals and solutions can be used? Many developers offer nothing at all but words. In most cases, all these offers and technological solutions are just a screen. It is a bait to catch investors who will be ready to be inspired by these sweet promises and buy another shitcoin that is designed solely for speculation.

true. Actually that was my personal point of view and anyone could disagree according to their personality and logic. Here LUNA, FTX, Celsius were top coins but people lost their saving who were involving with those. although i don't suggest anyone to buy only btc and eth and ingore everything, just need to be careful before taking any investment step. But if anyone want to have safe, security, assurance for investment then btc eth are best option although profit could be gain a little from those. Although 3-4x isn't bad.

Bitcoin and ETH is safer compared to other altcoin because they are battle-proven and survived all the bear season. So if you can not take the risk then only invest in some major altcoin or bitcoin. You have said that you have invested in a lot of altcoin and keep holding them. Altcoins are mostly scam and their market is very manipulative, so all of them are not ideal for long-term holding. If you want to make short term profit then you can hold some of them based on their new events. If you are thinking about holding altcoin for the long term then you need to keep in mind that the project must be listed on some top exchange, it needs to have a few million trading volume and their social media should be active. Otherwise that altcoin is not good for long term holding.

It seems like many of us are experiencing the same thing. I have a lot of shit tokens in my wallet that I got from bounties and airdrops. However, if it's for investments purchased with my own money, it seems like I've been in Shiba Inu and SUN. I think it was my worst purchase and to this day they are still there. I don't know whether it will be really good or not in the future. Don't focus too much on altcoins, it's better just on Bitcoin. That's my experience so far.

There's more shitcoins to invest in and reap solid profits within days of investment, as long as we're in memecoins season, chances of exploring and generating massive profits become very accessible. Talking about Shiba Inu, it was one of the shitcoins I've invested, though I made quite good figures from the project, you can only complain when you made nothing besides you might have trigger an entry in Shiba Inu when it's already late and influential whales have removed their profits, I think that was the specified moment you enter the market and saw completely zero profits to depend on. I also do agree with you about bitcoin been the most prominent projects in the market.

Investing with Bitcoin and Ethereum as well needs to be done in the long term if you must be profitable enough in either of them, although they both look very safe and good for investing in the long term they can some times make you loose some money if you invest in them for the short term but still they don't turn out worse as other meme coins which can be frustrating in some cases. Personally I see investing in meme coins as gambling because these coins can turn out dead at any time.

I think if those tokens which you have received from bounties if you keep for longer timing then there is no issue and it will give you greater profit in future because you did not use your money to buy it. If you don't like altcoins then don't buy it because a person if don't like something then he Don't like to know about it and it's obvious that if you have no knowledge about beneficial altcoins then random selection can give you zero results.

People are only able to take benefit from bitcoin because they don't want to realize about altcoins and those who seek knowledge and tried to realize attained useful profit from altcoins. Actual thing is interest so try to create your interest after which you will search about every coins and will say that without bitcoin there are also some beneficial altcoins too which can give you profit.

This is true for only those project that are backed by VC and are doing good in terms of development. This forum had many good altcoin project that still exist in the market though their price isn't that great right now. As an example if you have received tokens from bounty campaigns like DIA, Cartesi, HEX, SOV then you are at a loss right now as the price of all these tokens rose pretty high in the last bull market, but right now it is sitting at its bottom. If you have received token in a bull season then it will be profitable to sell off those alts as their price can be pretty bad in the bear market.

I agree with you, if you look at the top 10 data from 2016 - 2023 on cmc you will see how much change there has been in altcoins, everything is changing and shifting, some are still there but are in the top 100, some are quite good like xrp. but on average it will die within a few years. but the king remains in first position until now, I agree that BTC and Eth are the right choice for the largest portfolio proportion.

In my opinion, investing in the bull season is best for the short term, because there is a lot of hype and trends in new projects or coin memes. as I experienced in 2021 at the beginning of the hype coin meme month like safemoon gave me big profits. I only got a small capital of 70$ to 3k and a few other meme coins. Certainly see that crypto conditions are good

No matter how we look at it, after BTC, the next available coin to be trusted is Ethereum. Forget all the stories of centralisation and the rest, a common man investing in either BTC or ETH does not care if it is decentralized or not, what they want is the profit of their investment in a short or long term.
Talking about the alleged pre-mined ETH, doe it in any way stop the price of ETH from rising when it's supposed to? If you were to be the creator of ETH, will you not premine some coins for yourself?
Have you checked the Satoshi addresses, what do you have to say about the amount of BTC in the addresses?

In summary, Ethereum has proven to be the king of Altcoins and is widely trusted.

how can someone dislike something they have no knowledge about?

everyone should have a clean slate when approaching any cryptocurrency bitcoin was once a newly launched project too but those who believed in it and invested in it got big profits now how can you spot a potentially good project if you already have negative idea about all of them without even bothering to check it out



i guess because there are so much altcoins out there people are naturally not interested because they would have to put so much work instead of just focusing on bitcoin

I can not agree with your statement because in my opinion bear season is the right time to invest and bull season is to take profit. As an investor do you wants to buy bitcoin when its in the dip or you buy it at its peak? The choice is easy and reasonable. The more time passes and the market gets close to the bull season you will lose your chance to enter the market early. There is a long accumulation zone in the bear market and what i think is millions is being made in bear market because they invest in quality project when the price is quite low and book profit when everyone buying the top.

It is common knowledge that meme coins can make you rich suddenly and poor quickly, if you don't follow the movements of these coins.
if btc and eth are safer why should you invest in meme coins, even though the wait is long but the loss rate is minimal,

I have 300+ tokens in my bounty wallet with zero value and about 95% of the project is now dead. Also I bought many tokens in the past year and made huge profits there. To make the best of all investments you need to be a skilled investor and stay connected to the crypto market. You may find that the altcoins market has been floating for a long time so use the best time to invest in good coins that will give you a lot of profit in the future.

Investing in BTC is the safest choice when it comes to crypto investment. It also has its own risks but they are not as severe as other altcoins. Altcoins that are reputable and have created a name in the industry could be considered as an investment asset but always proceed with caution. And when we talk about new altcoins that have popped up recently and have no background, they should be ignored.

Don't get me wrong, people are still making profits out of them. But those coins last for a few days or months based on the hype and trend created my the people and investors. When the trend and hype are gone, they will be gone too. If you are able to take advantage of the situation, only then you should invest in those altcoins. If not, then try to stay away form them.

Alt coin is very risky so prefer bitcoin and ethereum instead of alt coin because it can be hold long term project because it can give you best profit  on the other hand the alt coin sometimes it is go up and then fall down from the soul, the benefit is too much sometimes, but if we do it in the wrong term, it can also give us a lot of loss so keeping this thing in mind, we should be preferred bitcoin It's a great layout and it's a long-term project. It won't hurt you as much as it will help you

I agreed with you op. Bitcoin and ethereum both are best choice for long time investment which assuring us safety and security also. But you can't neglect rest of altcoins cause those are also important, many of those also have real uses and do contributions for us. We did need to purchase those potential altcoins not shitcoins. But i agree that nobody can't guarantee any those of altcoins when its come to long term investment or holding perpose. Altcoins are good for making short time profit but yeah btc and eth are an asset for long terms

They both are a choice of many but, their existing price makes them not an easy investment. In the meantime, there are other altcoins that are similar to Ethereum that have good potential. From my knowledge, I would go for Solana, Cardano, and BNB, all three of them have the potential to pump as well as generate good profit for any investors. They have seen their best low after 2021 and by 2025 they will achieve their highs, if or unless there is an issue. Looking back before 2021 many cryptocurrencies had huge potential, thanks to the development team they became obsolete and no one is ready to invest in them. As said by many and there are data to prove it almost 98% of cryptocurrencies are now redundant.

99% of the contemporary projects goes to become nothing. In most cases it's wiser to dump you bounty coins as soon as you can in exchange of some top level coins. Though some coins becomes a success and could bring more profit than you expect.
Btc and eth are good options but there are a hundred more coins that I believe could perform better than btc and Ethereum in long term as well as short term.

Projects that run bounty campaigns and generally use free advertisement methods to promote their products and services barely become successful projects and you will usually see them dying off within a year from their release because they don't get substantial attention from the industry and thus they lack the funds to continue with their developments which becomes the reason for them to call it off even if they didn't have planned things that way.

That's why, one should never invest in projects that they see in bounty sections or those giving away a few tokens to every user for free as an airdrop because a good project with a good roadmap and a foolproof plan wouldn't have to rely only on such methods of advertisement and they will succeed even without them.

Bitcoin and ETH are good for long term but majority of users in the forum or in general are looking to get rich quick which isn't possible and also looking for multi fold return on investment which would be little difficult with Bitcoin or ETH and if you would have would hace checked price of coins like Solana it was trending around $8 at the beginning of the year and now it have increases by 10x, ADA has increased by 3x in last three months which indicates that there are other altcoins as well which is worth investing provided you do a proper research.

In general, many think that crypto is an all in money making get rich get-rich-quick scheme. They're all wrong, although crypto is also being used by these frauds but the actuality of it is very different from what they're expecting. Every investor needs to be wise with their choice with altcoins and all you have to do is to DYOR. With that, you'll have the idea by simply allotting time in research to know the potentials of the coin that you're investing. Good for me that I've got the popular ones and that's less time to be allotted but those who likes to explore in new altcoins, that's what you need.

One only realized the lesson after incurring a lot of losses, and that's the nature in every investor. If only majority of people do not trust low ranked altcoins, then people will not experience massive losses but only profitable gains. However, just like what you've said, your money, your rules. And committing losses is not actually bad, it could only make us realized that there's no good investing in random altcoins but focus only in bitcoin and ethereum.

But for beginners in the crypto market, I suggest you focus first in bitcoin but only invest on the amount you can afford to lose. Once you're in profits, you can also add ethereum on your portfolio so you can maximize your opportunity investing and being profitable in the crypto market.

Those views are being fueled by the developers of those shitcoins, since ultimately even if someone that knew nothing about this market took a look at bitcoin and its high price, they could immediately come to the conclusion that even if money can be made with it, you cannot become rich with bitcoin by just investing a couple of hundred of dollars anymore, so where this idea comes from and why it is still so popular? And the only answer to that question that makes sense is that the developers of new coins keep pushing that narrative in order to try to get people to invest into their projects.

This depends on the situation you have. If you have a large amount of income every month and it is easy to get it, then investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum is a very smart choice, but you have to be smart when buying and make sure you always record all the transactions you make. As a portfolio to find out at what price you buy assets, usually profits will be seen when it reaches the next five years because the supply of these two coins will become thinner and it will become more difficult to get them, so that when demand increases while availability dwindles, it will have an important influence on the price circulating on the market.

Dont entirely call memecoins in this context because not all memecoins are shitcoins. I don’t think of Dogecoin as a shitcoin and I don’t think it’s just me; it’s a generally agreeable thing. However I want to tell you that it’s normal to see some projects fall off; not all projects can be successful because not all of them even followed the right steps and plans or should I say roadmap. Bitcoin and Ethereum (and BNB) are indeed reputable cryptocurrencies, but there’s more and there are more that are yet to be created too.

Yea, most of if altcoins can't survive in bear market and stop after 5-7 months. That's why we must carefully search any project with good benefit for their investor. And i think the project who always dissapointing their community is also very bad for the future of the project. Like the delay of their plan.

Honestly, I never dared to invest in shitcoins, whatever they are called, because I had an experience where I had several coins that I bought to invest, but however I waited for it to improve, the project actually deceived all investors.

As time went by, that's when I started to think and switch to Bitcoin and Ethereum or BNB which have a fairly stable selling value during bear markets and bull markets, at least these three coins made me more comfortable and always thought positively about the growth of these three coins.

That's right, maybe some of the hodl er including bitcoin and ethereum when the price conditions are lowest this year will get carried away, thinking that selling faster at that time will be better, but apparently the saying is not proven in a few months until now, bitcoin and etreum are gradually recovering and even 3 times return means that it only takes 1-2 more times to get to last year's ath of $61. 000, I realize that by buying funds of hundreds of dollars either bitcoin or ethreum may only get a few decimals :D, I imagine that when my deep price is dca only, of course I can get 3 times the current price. If BNB I often buy with small amounts only ;D

---

Some of the altcoins I make are also from twiter bounty or airdrop hunting, if the price doesn't match I prefer to just save it, because I got it for free. Who knows later it could be better when bitcoin surpasses ATH throughout its history

It is completely wrong to believe nothing blindly. Be it Bitcoin or Ethereum you can never invest blindly. There is risk in everything and nothing is established without risk. All the altcoins you hold here are probably all like shitcoin that have lost a lot of value and died. All coins among altcoins are not a headache but there are many coins that have already recovered in price. Investing is a personal matter but should definitely be done in quality and low-risk coins.

For a long term investment it's more suitable to use Bitcoin and Ethereum due to their stability, mot meme and shit coins are only good in the short term as most of them lack stability and we're used for just some projects after which they turn out shitty with no value anymore. If you invest in Bitcoin coin in the long term you can be sure to still be profitable and still have your investment safe over the period of investment.

The altcoins subject is a very touchy one I must say because people have very subjective opinions about these kind of cryptocurrencies. But for many folks in this industry, those low ranked altcoins, memecoins and shitcoins present the biggest opportunities to make a fortune. I personally never made much trading Bitcoin and eth. Most of my profit in crypto came from BGB at the time when it was a low-cap, XRD, CAGA among others.

I ignorantly (not an excuse for my loss) invested in one Altcoin, I did put in a lot of my hard earned money into that project hoping it will give me huge returns but I was very late to enter into the market, it gave some persons good profits at the very beginning but my luck could not shine as I nvr made any profit from them and all my money was loss, the team rugged the project. It is quite a long time where else I never had any idea about this forum if at all I have been here by then and gained the knowledge I have now then I would have understood and be extremely careful from having the kind of wrong investment experience. What saved me from the crash was that I did invest what I was able to loss and it never in any way affect my cost of living but we feel the pain even if we lost little money.

You are not alone on this experience. In my early days here, I also did invest in some ICO projects.
But most ICO projects didn't live up to their investors' expectations, definitely, a lot lost their funds.
Though some also  got lucky to get good profits. But most of them have had very short lifespan as most devs ran away after they pocketed some.
This is why I got my lesson also in investing alts. For now, I just stick to BTC, ETH and BNB as I can't keep up with the new hype.

ICO were a very risky investment category as at that time there weren't many options to verify that the project team was legit or scammers. So IEO is a better option right now because there is a listing guarantee that shows you will be able to sell off your token in the open market after listing. Keeping our investment around top alts will give us a sense of security but it won't be able to give us 100X. And if i am not mistaken most alt investors want to invest in a project that can do 100X in their next bull season. So low cap coin should be considered.

There is very expensive idea which is the best step for buying top currency for dip price and it will good profitable history. What was the trend ieo, ico, ido and many investors enjoy there profits category. I was receiving lot of profits from ico trand and this opportunity was live very long time.

But ICO is dead now as why will one invest into it when they knew that more than 90% of project would either run away with your money or just dump the tokens on the same day of launch. I don't think people will go for ICO anymore though IEO is still a considerable option but for me it would be investing into the top coins like BTC & ETH during the dip and regular investment throughout the year. Not thinking of any ICO or IEO at the moment.

That is also my altcoin investment lesson. Due to bitcoin's leading conditions, altcoin trends often happen quickly and depend on bitcoin trends. I followed the altcoin hype too much and forgot about bitcoin. That's also how people often recommend keeping bitcoin in their portfolio. Only bitcoin can return. ETH, BNB also have risky exceptions but it is still better than investing in new altcoins. I love bitcoin but still like to search and invest in altcoins because it can bring big profits in a short time.

I once lost all my money in shitcoin, I invested in shitcoin, just follow other people, the lesson taken from there is never invest if you don't know what you are investing in. Stay away from it. It's very simple, just buy long-term BTC and have valuable value, be smart in investing and don't be fomo, keep doing your own research

After some past success people still invest in alt coins, especially the newbies this trend is more common. Yes it is true that there was a time in the past when many people got involved in alt coins, meme coins. If you believe in long term then you must invest in bitcoin and if you want to invest in altcoin for long term then you can choose ethereum. Ethereum may be as valuable as Bitcoin in the future. I can't speak for all the other altcoins, but Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to me to be the trump cards of the future.

Earlier the better for anyone who's into cryptocurrency business to have the knowledge that it pays better in the long run to invest funds in Bitcoin, and if there's need to diversify into other crypto coins, then the first choice should be none other than Ethereum. Like you've learned from experience that all that glitters is not gold, new altcoins, can come with sweet promises of giving you multiple ROI, but in the end some are scam projects, some wouldn't withstand the tide of volatility, while some actually leave up to expectations. The question now lies in being able to know the ones that'll be profitable and stand the test of time. By my estimation it'll come down to gambling to determine the one to put money into.

If I were to invest in new alcoins, I'll put an amount that I can afford to loose, so anyhow it turns out, it'd be like winning or losing in gambling, accept the outcome good or bad and move on. I can only put the money that I can afford to invest in Bitcoin, and a step further will be Ethereum.

Investing in altcoins is a very big risk and someone who is investing in altcoins at least knows that altcoins investment is something that gives profit whenever the particular altcoins you invest on have a volatility, but a process whereby the altcoins you invest on doesn't have a good volatility that means you might lose from the investment,  in a normal circumstances bitcoin is best amongst cryptocurrencies to invest on because it has a good volatility in the market, and making profits in bitcoin depends on the amount you invest and also the higher the investment the higher the profits and the profits will manifest during the time of bearish market.

Well, it's only Eth and Btc that are starting to try to reach the prices previously obtained in the previous bull run. Apart from that, Matic and ADA also seem to be following towards an increasingly rapid increase. So I can say that in the top 20 there are far more projects that can be trusted. Avax and Solana are also examples. So it can be said that the Layer 1 project seems much more trustworthy. Because even though they experienced a very deep correction, in the bullrun that has just started, we have seen many layer 1 altcoins starting to experience high increases. Meanwhile, we can't expect too many tokens and shitcoins. Because they are like projects that come and go quickly.

Honestly, the market size as well as the market share of bitcoin and altcoins, their volatility can give us many choices with corresponding level of understanding about crypto. A person can take the risk of buying memecoins and waiting for luck but at the same time understand the fact that they can lose. And for larger things, the risk will be reduced and the opportunity to increase prices is also guaranteed more clearly. IMO, bitcoin is always the core in the crypto space, and the rest always has its own shortcomings but based on the ability to adapt, the opportunity or risk is our own choice.

It's important to avoid generalizing all memecoins as shitcoins since they differ in quality. Many people, including myself, don't consider Dogecoin as a shitcoin and share this sentiment. It's natural for some projects to fail as not all of them follow the necessary steps or adhere to a well-defined roadmap. While Btc, Eth, and BNB enjoy a solid reputation, it's worth noting that there are other reputable cryptocurrencies available. Additionally, we can anticipate the creation of new cryptocurrencies in the future.

Most altcoins have the ability to lose value in the market,  looking back to to some altcoins that have existed they lost value in the market which they have not been able to recover in the market. Most altcoins are not reliable that is why it is important before going into investing altcoins one needs to make a thorough research about the coin if it is worth investing. I think the only altcoin I know that has a good reputation in the market is ethereum, which has always been the leading altcoin in the market.

Altcoins are not trustable each and every time because there are thousands of altcoins but only few can accomplish well beside which every other altcoin loss its value as time goes. Altcoins can be selected by examining its advantages and use cases and also look into its market cap so it will be easy for you to choose valuable altcoins for longer duration.

There are some strong projects like Ethereum the appearance of which shows that as bitcoin is successful so some altcoins can also be successful in future. Create a plan and search about different coins then realize that which coin is accomplishing well and never died in 12 or 13 years so it will have positive influence on your decision making ability.

No not only them, but they are only leading the way, as they are the giant cryptos in each of their categories. Same goes whenever there is a bear run. These coins are also leading the way, and the rest will just catch up. What you said about the top 20 is right. Mostly they are newly born coins who are on their way to the top. They deserve the top spot better than those who are already there.

I think it's normal that the longer the coin exists, their performance can also degrade. Trust has nothing to do with the price of the coins. A coin can go down but it does not mean that they are not trusted anymore and there are also coins who pumps up but deep inside they are a scam and will disappear later on.

I mean isn't that a given at this point?  Most every altcoin is made as either a straight up scam, cash grab or project with intentions it will never meet.  Most people buy into them not even understanding what they are for but just hoping they go up a lot so they can get back into bitcoin, eth or even fiat.  Greed drives the altcoin markets.

It's not about losing value, even if Bitcoin loses value, but it manages to gain it back, as you mentioned as well, most altcoins don't have the capability of regaining the value that they lose which is the reason why they are not reliable for long-term investments. When we talk about long-term trust in cryptocurrencies, the first couple of cryptocurrencies that come to our mind are Bitcoin and Ethereum because they have been around for the longest period and have always proven to be the best.

Ethereum might not be the only altcoin that has a good reputation but it has always been on the top when it comes to trust on altcoins because people can easily invest money in Ethereum and expect good returns even after a long-term because it has never deceived its investors in the past.

Investing in AltCoin requires a thorough understanding of AltCoin. Because not all altcoins are suitable for recruitment. Most of the altcoins were found to have lost their character which never returned to normal. And altcoin I have invested heavily in but the rewards have been pretty much nil. So I think it is better for investors to trust ETH for long term investment rather than focusing on all kinds of altcoins. ETH funds offer a lot of security. But from my site I prefer bitcoin over altcoin for investment because I have earned more by investing in bitcoin than what I have earned by investing in altcoin.

This is just the best option rather than acting greedy or too smart, with the opposite mindset not to sell new tokens with the believe that the coin has potential that person is taking a big risk and with such mindset it might lead to loss more especially if the project is just a scam project, I believe more in making research before investing but making research doesn't still make any change, as an investor who wants to invest in long term should make use of trusted tokens like ethereum or bitcoin.

I also received many altcoins from bounties as well when I was finding my way in crypto as a newbie. But as time went on, I realized that altcoin tokens are not worth holding for the long term, instead they are preferable for the short term. It is good sell them off when you realize a profit, if not, they will become worthless investment in your portfolio.
Yeah, Anyone can invest their money wherever they want to but not advise them to do so with low-rank altcoins or memecoins. We can only advise them to invest in bitcoin or ethereum, or even better, in the top 20 altcoins on CMC, so they can save themselves. from the stress of losing their money in the long run

Personally, I always stick to this mantra - "high risk, high reward." I've also been in that position where I hold so many altcoins (I still do) and they all lose value during bear markets. The worst ones are those whose team abandon the project altogether. Personally, I have made more money from altcoins than BTC or ETH. But I still believe that both BTC and ETH are more stable for long term investments. However, I still hold some altcoins who, despite their value is low now, the team is still working and some already have their products like Denet for example.

if i consider the price jump during these 5y >
1>binancecoin  +4,800%
2>dogecoin +4,000%
3>etherum  +1,800%
cardano  +1,450%
if the owners of ether/Bit did not agree with the reduction of mining profit(who accepted)  >> they had rank 1 and 2



to succeed in this profitable market. for guaranteed and faster success two or three important principles should b considered,

1>being mineable (it would b better if a new cryptocurrency network is created on which it is possible to mine with a much higher profit than the current FKNG shitty system blockchain)

2>more reward/coins for finding the blocks.(i mean more than dogecoin or ecash and others)
 thisis much smarter/better than stupidly burning coins like beginners/newcomer in this market

3>very much airdrops(and again this is much smarter  than burning coins like beginners/newcomer in this market)

mining is a special way for investors because it takes a lot of energy and time, and unfortunately some people think that mining is not an investment and they are nothing but fools.
this work/mining itself is advertising for a coins or networks

4>a lot of advertising on social network like x is great for at least 10 important countries (and an accounts should be created/advertised with the (IP addresses) of these countries so that it can be seen by the people and users of those countries)) > if u for example advertise on reddit.com with a french ip/account address!  it is very difficult or impossible to see this advertisement for american or other countries users with ip addresses/accounts

5>ban/restricting other countries to buy and sell or mining in the network will cause tension and drop in prices and value and will remain unstable. >>>
ban/blocking the countries where mining  in these countries is more profitable because the energy is more cheaper/political issues  is a stupidly mistake and this will cause severe damage to the total value of this cryptocurrency market(which has been)

It is not possible to understand or go through all the altcoin concepts because there are too many of them. In altcoin marketplace the money flows from one trend to another. If there is hype going around a narrative or an ecosystem most of the project in that narrative or ecosystem will perform better. Just look at the recent airdrop hype is different ecosystems. First solana, cosmos then INJ, where most of the projects in these ecosystem are performing very well compared to other altcoin because there is a lot of hype going around and investors are speculating with their money in those project.

You have a good point. And let's not forget that even if they all were same crap, people have every right to invest to anything they want. It's the beauty of crypto. Best one might not even win. Markets don't always reward for hard work, or care, or are fair in any way.

Even if someone thinks all meme coins or altcoins were just total crap and wouldn't vary in quality enough, some people will invest them. Some will lose money, some will make money. And some people will laugh at the investors, saying they are crazy, and i see it as a paraller to people getting laughed at when they are buying nfts, or altcoins with "better" fundamentals. Or even when they bought bitcoin in early days.

People will always judge others when they don't understand where the money comes. They are angry because what they considered as smart investment isn't making that much profits. But that's because markets aren't representing smart people. They are representing greed and fear. Doubly so in crypto markets.

Altcoin/shitcoin may be a waste of time sometimes. Just like you have said, I also have a lot of shitcoin with no value in my wallet. I bought some when I was still new into cryptocurrency and got some from either airdrop or bounty. Sometimes when I check this wallet, I think within. me if there is still hope for this coin during bull run. After much experience in the crypto space, I think the dream crypto for everyone to buy often and often should be Bitcoin.

There are any altcoins I had gotten a bad experience from and that do not make me to see all altcoins as the same.
The market is full of good and bad profits so if we are lucky enough, we might end up losing after we become unlucky to invest in a bad project. The market is big and volatile. Those that knows how to invest in altcoins would be the ones to earn more from the market why others would complaining that the crypto market is risky and not suitable for them to invest. We can make profits and also make loses from the market.

  Well, at the point you made in the end, it is correct that everyone can use their capital for the investment they want to make. In addition to what we are talking about, not all meme coins are bad investment projects.

  As investors, we are responsible if the investment we make here has bad results. So,  whether it's meme coin or shitcoin in the eyes of others, others don't care if we want to invest in meme coin; for them, it's not good. Then there were many who said that and were embarrassed in the end, to be honest.

All those altcoins that you have received from bounties will provide you more profit during halving because they are free of cost and you gain it through Completing a task. Those who buy altcoins are sometimes at risk because they don't know that this new altcoin is profitable or not but if someone received it out of cost then if unfortunately it shows reduced cost then your financial status will not be effected.

For longer term you can only hold etheruem among all other altcoins whereas other altcoins should be put on sell whenever they rise in value because there is no guarantee about its future worthiness. Holding altcoins longer if they have no value but once it attain value even a small increase then a holder should accept this rise otherwise it will become regression for you.

It's not only for altcoins, even for Bitcoin, it performs well because of the hype it has gotten throughout the years and it's still getting it. Every single cryptocurrency or anything in the world performs well or gains more value when it's hyped and people demand it more if the supply is less than the demand. People love Bitcoin, it's the most demanded cryptocurrency which is the reason why it has such a high value, I know it has properties that are unique as well but that's a different thing.

About trends, you are right. We can often see trends entering the market and almost every single person starts directing their investments towards that trend because people understand that when there is a trend, it means there are opportunities to make money if you can manage to get in on time.

I don't think the bitcoin price rises only for hype. It has demands in the market which attracts real users who use bitcoin for various purposes. But for hype project investors move their money from one project to another and that's why none of those projects get any solid ground in the market. In most altcoins, if the whale investors dump their holdings, the market will crash because retail investors only came when there was hype going around that project. Most of the altcoins are for short term profit which is why there are so many altcoin that failed to survive until the next bull run.

This is altcoins for you , it is very risky which it can crash at anytime without you knowing.  I think some altcoins just have specific time to do well in the market. Altcoins are not investment you need to hodl for a long time, hodling for long you may end up losing it if eventually it gets crashed. I think it is always good to take profit while investing  or trading altcoins because you never can tell what will happen in the market,  most altcoins have a short life in the market.

Top ranked coins should be preferred for investment and long term holding. If you are a true investor then you must have a tendency to hold for the long term. Choosing an altcoin must consider their team, transparency of the project and everything else. Keep in mind that you must deal with high risk.

Altcoins are sometimes at the top and sometimes carry high risk that's why everyone prefers altcoins for investment but before investing it is important to have experience about the altcoin market. Which coins are at the top in the market they should be selected and move forward considering the market. It is easy to deal with good losses if you research which projects are managing the coins for investing.

The current trend is on the Solana network and many memecoins and shitcoins have appeared on the Solana network. it provides a lot of advantages if you get in early and find good coins. from thousands of market caps it can rise to millions of market caps in an instant. this is an instant profit on altcoin investment and also an instant loss when entering on the wrong coin. Following trends to earn a lot of money is sometimes necessary and you have to be clever in taking advantage of these conditions.

Whether we invest in Bitcoin or altcoins, the both has risk and need to know what we are doing so that we don't fall victim on the wrong altcoins projects. Since too many project are been launched into the market everyday, we need to do research thoroughly because we put our money into any altcoins project. Even though we are into the market to make profits, we can still get the opposite from the market. We don't need to do things that is goin go to hurt us in the future. When we invest, it is wise for us to do follow up to get more from the market.

The reason on why they lost their value would be is, they are built poorly. There are also those who built with a better quality but their developers can't keep up with the pace for some reasons. So, the investors lost their motivation as well to continue supporting the project. This is why what you said is true that we should not invest blindly. When we say blindly, it is when you buy and forget. It's important to always monitor our investment and stay updated online or offline to know what is happening. If we think we can't do that well, then it's better if we can just pick up Bitcoin, or/and Ethereum. As like you said, these two coins are already proven through time.

Any altcoin that was doing well and drastically reduced to 90% 95% will not come back to life again and whenever you are investing in any altcoin make sure have to make research on the coin or the project and I'd there is no good review found about the project or the coin then don't invest in it and look for another coin that is good. Apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum there are other good coins to invest. Dogecoin, Litecoin and Eloncoin are some of them you have to look into but make research before investing.

Apart from maybe 1 or 2, other altcoins are not suitable for long-term holding and most people don't do that, and those who do are playing with fire which means that it's full of risk when you are holding altcoins in your portfolio, and aiming to sell them after a long time. When you think of long-term investment, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only cryptocurrencies that will pop up in your mind because these two are the safest when it comes to long-term.

Altcoins in general are used by scalpers and short-term traders because of them being highly volatile and unpredictable. You can't know if an altcoin will survive for two years after it has been launched and even if it does survive, will it be able to gain any value or even maintain the current value? The answers to these questions are unknown.

That's true op. Only because of more profit we usually don't hesitate to buy new altcoins, memecoin even shitcoins. Maybe people were benefited from such profit but I think most of the people ended up their investment with losses cause this is a technique where such project trying to make you convince that they are best and that's why they are flying but after investment you will realize that you did mistake. Its true that btc eth won't give you 10x but atleast they don't dump 10x too. That's why it's safe. But a person want more profit then he could use his extra money what they can effort losing whatever the situation will be

But you will get good profit from ido during this time because most of the ido management projects are successfully entering the exchange market by doing token sales. I have been following the poolz platform and have seen many good projects from ido getting success which is another reason why the poolz platform will be highlighted. So we should use the best time to collect ido from these platforms in order to get good profit.

Bitcoin and ethereum indeed, has become the best choice. With that, I avoid everything I don't want.I avoid all offers circulating that promise big profits. I will not be interested because I need peace of mind to live a life that is useless if I invest but my mind is not calm because I think about fear of loss and so on

You can see the evidence in the market and the majority of investors hodling BTC and Ethereum in this bear season and, you will no that there is no way you will hodl all those coins for a long period of time and you will not improve higher in your investment.

 If you don't want any fear in your hodling, I will advise you to to continue embracing the altcoins that will be giving you peace of mind like Ethereum, Solana and BNB which I know they can give you peace of mind if you want to invest on them.

It also depends, actually BTC and ETH are already old and those who bought them at the beginning will definitely get a lot of profit but we need to remember we also have to look at other altcoins like I bought Solana last year I bought it at approximately 20$ now I have get 4-10x net profits and before you jump into altcoins or shitcoins, research as much as possible first and don't be fomo because it will mislead you and harm ourselves, it depends on ourselves because it is our first decision and don't consider investing the same as gambling. very different

I completely agreed with your all views about this all but still we have good potential in Bitcoin and Ethereum with few coins/tokens are also having good potential and chance for giving profit but as mentioned we have 90% to 95% shit and meme coins which are waste of time and money so in this all situation sticking with these big two are much better and safer way for having better profit in near future.
Research about projects and having all details about team are must before investing in any new project because as things are developing we are having few good projects as well which can perform good and have chance of giving good profit for the investors in the future, but one last thing please do your own work before any investment and also just invest which you can afford to lost as well.

very appropriate because currently the safest investments in crypto are BTC and ETH. If you want an investment that feels safe and will provide big profits in the long term, most of your portfolio should be filled with BTC and ETH. To be honest after listing I never hold the altcoins I got from bounties or airdrops for long because I immediately exchanged them for BTC.

That's why I like to put my money in Ethereum and BNB because I've known them for a long time and I know their movements almost every season and secondly, according to my experience, they are very suitable for short or long term trading and investment by relying on bearish and bull signals

I completely agree with you, projects are coming out on new blockchains, it seems like a good team is a good project, I also decide to invest there, but the project shoots up in price for the first week, then goes into a hard minus and I generally think about a scam, although I repeat, there really is potential in these projects, but still they do not go up like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The only altcoin holding I have, is the one I get as a reward from my signature campaign. I have not bought any altcoin before but trust me, I know how it feels to hold an altcoin. It's more stressful than holding Bitcoin, and the funny part of it is that you are just holding for a short period of time, so you have to be vigilant watching the market to know when to sell before you start incurring any loss. But with Bitcoin holding, you just need to sit back and let the market do what it know how to do best. that is, moving in an upward direction.

Like have said before this is my first experience and I have zero plans of holding some random altcoins with no value except from Ethereum and not yet, I will still wait for some time cause I have not even study about the market. I know a lot of altcoins since I started making research but I still don't want to get involved in any coins yet.
The value of altcoins depends on the price of bitcoin so if some altcoins fail to rise when bitcoin has reached another ATH then you will know that you've been spending on something worthless that's why it's advisable to never spend your money on every coins or new coins but focus your investment more on bitcoin first before buying trusted Altcoins.

I also experienced this, starting from airdrop tokens or even ICO tokens that I chose first in 2017. And in the end now they have become trash coins that cannot be used at all. That's one of the most valuable lessons for me to be more precise and careful in choosing coins as a long-term investment.
and luckily I still have a little ethereum from 2017. If I didn't have that ETH, I might have run out of money just for a failed ICO.

My first cryptocurrency investment started with investing in alt coins.I have very bad experience investing in these alt coins. BAD EXPERIENCE That's why when I used to invest in alt coins, I mostly invested in coins when they were new to the market. But I slowly try to learn about the cryptocurrency market and gain experience.

Then I stopped investing in those new coins and started investing in the best alt coins in the cryptocurrency market. Then I invested in BNB coin when the price of this coin was above $500 even that year the coin increased above $650.Although the price of this coin has decreased now, I expect the price of this coin to rise again in the future.

Altcoin investment is not as easy as others may think because it requires lots of time to learn which coins are better and which coins are just fakes and scams. Though you have already found the right altcoins with some legit owners and developers, it has no guarantee that they will last forever and they won't stop their development and updates because it already happened to lots of altcoins where they are active in their early stages but they just disappear due to loss of capitals and supports and they didn't continue their project anymore nor they promote it to increase its price.

That's why those who are new should invest in some top altcoins after they've done their proper research of course because that's crucial for them so that they can easily spot which altcoins are suited for their current budget. And when they are used to investing, they can try some new altcoins that are in their early stage so that they can feel how to be someone who holds altcoins for the long term.

   As far as I know, in 2017, most altcoins at this time got a lot of profit from altcoin bounties. The image of altcoins in bounties just got ugly since 2018 came in, and it seems that the bounties that pay a lot have become rare in terms of the rewards of the participants who participated in the campaign.

   So far, I have not experienced making a profit in altcoins, especially now that I have joined the signature campaign that I am wearing as a banner code at the moment. So the only thing I can do at the moment is buy little by little altcoins on the exchange.

Dear, I would not like to give you any financial statement because better is not the give. Hmm, Altcoins only pump when the team is collaborating with other good projects which is equal to good news and these news makes hyps in the market and builds investors interest in that particular altcoin. it is just like a balloon that is filled when buying orders are more than selling orders and when selling orders come over buying one hype will be broken and that balloon will be burst. But many good projects return a good amount of profit as well as you will see them performing well in the coming bull run.

To be honest, I personally don't have significant experience with altcoins, but the most impressive thing about the journey of investing with altcoins is that when I got tokens from the campaign I participated in, I got 75 RAE tokens, and that's when I got my first income in  crypto, RAE is the most impressive coin because it has given me huge profits, but now I see that RAE has become a shitcoin fell too deep, what a shame.

I have numbers of experience investing in the wrong altcoins and that had made me stronger when making financial decisions in the market. Anytime we are making financial decisions, it is good when we study the market and look at our benefits before we eventually put our money. We can keep making loses in the market if we don't know these things. Making money in the Crypto market entails our knowledge about how we can actually make the money.

Oh nice, 2017 is quite a long time ago, and for you to have started participating in airdrops means you are kin to crypto investment at the time and I hope you gained through Bitcoin even if other coins/tokens failed you.

Well, many people are lucky to have started with some kind of investment package when crypto scams are not as much as this, and maybe earned airdrops that helped them so well even as the token in most cases appreciated significantly and they make money. Some tokens are still relevant till today, while some later dump so much to the point that the owners are blaming themselves. Others never rose at all which I term failed project, so it all depends. To gain a good airdrop today is not so easy and we will continue to see airdrops as a thing of luck, they can enrich us and they can be a waste of time.

For anyone that comes into play with us, we should just ensure that we take them in good faith, only that we should not waste too much of our time chasing airdrops these days, they are not just worth it. This is especially true when they are attached to some insane tasks before you can own them. I often walk away sighting such conditions you must pass before you can earn it. I am not desperate and I don't have time for that.

According to my experience is that must read project there roadmap and gain knowledge about cryptocurrency then choose a strong project then claim if price is low so keep hold if the project is strong definitely they give profit.

If you want to be safe, just be safe with a less significant increase in your portfolio, maybe you just have to buy ETH and BTC on a large scale, but with your minimal capital, you have to look at other altcoins or shitcoins because it will make you a profit of 3-10x your capital, but it's necessary. Remember, it's all up to you to choose risks, remember, don't follow other people to do your own research

Many in online and offline started the cryptocurrency journey with altcoins. Some of the guys I I know that in my area they investing in altcoins and not in bitcoin. And when I asked them they would only say altcoins pay well. And some of them are purely in the business of airdrop. They invest in airdrop and sell them off once the project price just increase. Till today I am still thinking how they came to know all these. And as I said many times before the only Altcoin cryptocurrency that I have is Eloncoin now. And I am not thinking to sell it or stake it for now.

It is true that because of the low price of alt coins, newbies start investing in them. Especially they don't understand what kind of altcoins to invest in. We expect 10x, 20x, 50x from new coins but in the end they are mostly worthless. Investing in all these coins will be bring double, triple profit, in that case I always suggest to invest in top alt coins. BNB is a good coin, hopefully it will increase in value in the upcoming Bullrun.  You can also increase your investment portfolio with both Ethereum and SOL coins as you can expect good returns from these coins as the Bitcoin price be rises towards the end of the year.

In long-term investments, Bitcoin is the best crypto, and Ethereum is the best altcoin. So, I think these two coins are the best to invest in.
It's just that the potential profit obtained from a new project or meme coin is greater than that, but with greater risks too. However, I had the same experience, where I invested in new altcoins, but some of them ended in fraud and scams, and some of them still exist today. It's just that the potential is not what it was when the coin was released. So, the best investments in crypto I think are bitcoin and ethereum

Not really that shocking about those old techs would really be replaced by new one but of course it would be excluding Bitcoin and other top L1's that we do have into this market.
This is why when it comes to investment then it would really be just that depending on you and your research on what projects that you would really be tending to hold for long term.
In all the coins that we do have in the market today then it would really be just that normal that we would really be having that kind of confusion on which
projects that we would really be that tending to engage with.

Risks is there on which it is really just that normal.Some people do make money and some people cant or lose that much. This market is really that in between to those losers and winners.
If you dont make yourself that not be able to handle up such risks then it would really be just that your choice
on how you would really be gonna deal with these things along the way.

Yes etheruem and bitcoin are both good source for long term investment and there is no other coin better than these two so if someone wants to put money then they should choose etheruem and bitcoin. Among altcoin BNB is also a good investment source because many people who have bought BNB are now in benefit so I think another option should be BNB.

New altcoins are not all scam therefore if someone wants to take benefit then he should also take risk because those who are afraid of taking risk will never see their bright fortune. Bitcoin and Ethereum can be choosed without doubt of success but other coins are doubtful about their success so if one take his decision with care then possibility will increase that he will be once appreciate altcoins.

Let me rephrase it for you. Bitcoin and Ethereum are better for Long term HOLDIng. and if you ask me I would say only Bitcoin is better for long term holding.
other altcoins are good for investment and trading and earning profit. but when it comes to long term holding I would always prefer to convert my assets into bitcoin or any Good stablecoins.
Low rank Altcoins, Memecoins are not necessary headaches, they become headache when we take them seriously. otherwise they are  harmless and very profitable sometime.

That is why study before buying any altcoin is very important as an investor. Of you miss this tip as a beginner, you might end up letting loss in the market to advise you rather than just learning from the advise of other investors. Though it doesn't properly elevate from falling into the hands of scam project, but it will give you a great hint to abstain from several scam projects which are easy to fish out. Learning a endless process, so if you would want to stay far from scam projects, you need to keep yourself updated.

Bitcoin is Bitcoin you can't compeer anything with bitcoin and Ethereum is a top altcoin also also a strong chain Ethereum (ERC20) provide a high quality contract address with high security that's why this blockchain is much popular. so i think ETH is also safe investment in altcoin. you can also choice another top altcoin for investment like SOL, BNB and any others coins like this. but always invest such a amount that you are afford to loss. because no cryptocurrency coin will not give you any profit guarantee

Dear If I share my journey with you, My friends used to talk about the crypto market and I never took interest in their talks and one day when I invested some amount in Crypto and when it started giving me profit I started to take interest in the crypto market and that time motivate me to learn about crypto... you just need a little motivation in the learning phase.

Although, investing in altcoins is risky and picky part but there are alot of good projects that can return a good amount of profit in return. you have to search on your own because it is best not to ask anyone before investing DYOR and invest only the amount you are willing to lose and in case if luck goes in your favor you will earn a good amount. Try To hold some amount in the spot and avoid the feature as it is too risky just like gambling.

I think old cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Binance coin mostly perform better in the long run. This is why we are advised to make them as a long-term investment. I think this is also because Bitcoin and the overall market of cryptos rarely pumps.

If there are coins that we see pumping, they are usually new coins that are short-lived only. But if you are into shorter terms you can invest on them. You should only monitor them closely, not only their price but also their groups and social media accounts. So that you will know if it's now time to abandon them or not yet. Apart from short-term investing, you can also trade them for the short-term.

well in the end only the best will survive, just as money flowing in old projects moves to new projects if the project does not develop.
but there are some projects that thrive and survive but most will die.
sure, btc and ethereum will be the top of investment.

so if you have 100$, you will put it in bitcoin directly? how much will you get, you can increase your money by trading or investing in altcoins, there are so many ways.
if you will only commit your 100$ on bitcoin then you will not earn anything.

but from here we can see that investors or people who have been in the market for a long time can take advantage in any situation, but for those who have just entered the market they will not know, and only understand that bitcoin and ethereum are ways to make money.

it is not about which is best and better , instead this thread is about our experiences in altcoins investment and yeah lets share what we need to bring in this thread and also I cannot share mine because I am still waiting for the effect of altcoins this year because back then I focused only in Bitcoin and not in other altcoins.

Since investing $100 in Bitcoin will not make much profit, if you keep depositing Bitcoin every month with $100 it will be best for you and you will get good profit. Suppose you invest in Bitcoin with a small amount of $100 and if you don't increase your investment you will not get the expected results.

Let me give you a little example of your investment of $100 Bitcoin if you look at the market today you will see that the price of Bitcoin is around $40,000 at this price if you buy $100 of worth Bitcoin and if the price of Bitcoin rises from here to $50,000 by crossing then you can earn a small amount of money. But if you were to deposit your weekly or monthly $100 worth of bitcoins then when the price of bitcoins rises from $40,000 to over $50,000 you would have made a much larger profit.

As if he voiced my thoughts, there are also a lot of coins in wallets that cost nothing, and how much time I spent on this is just terrible. I should have sold what I earned right away, but I decided to wait, in the end I didn't get anything. Don't make the same mistakes.

the market is tight right now, but I also keep looking for gems like TFS, it's actually quite difficult, but still gives you the opportunity to make good money. So it's worth it

That is just it. Bitcoin and etherium are the only better investment one can properly invest on. There is hope that btc will hit ATH and ETH will move alongside with bitcoin. Anybody that feels Bitcoin price is too expensive, should be able to buy ETH because it's the only coin that is a successor to bitcoin. For example now each ETH is $2kplus now that Bitcoin price is $40k what if bitcoin reaches $150k? That is absolutely ETH will climb from $2k to $10k or more. So btc and ETH is one of the best coin to invest for long time than this newly created coins.

Whether the market is tight or open now , we can still make profits from the market if we know how to look for good projects that has good future and that can give us good profits in the market. We don't have to feel bias because we have been making the mistakes of not hitting the jackpot on good projects that would make us rich. We need to be prepared as investors and ready to take risks but not the ones that would make us failed and regret why we ever get into cryptocurrency.

There are thousands of altcoins in the market, it is really unpredictable which one you will invest in, which one you will get profit, which one will not get profit. Maximum altcoins suddenly rise and fall suddenly. No one prefers altcoins to hold for the long term. When it comes to long-term investments, the first name that comes to mind is Bitcoin. I believe altcoins like Ethereum, BNB are safe to hold for long term. Of course increasing your investment in top alt coins including Bitcoin to grow your portfolio in the long run will make it easier to deal with profit losses.

Except for the king of cryptocurrency Bitcoin, and top altcoins like Ethereum, most crypto coins/tokens in the crypto market are risky assets, any investors buying them needs to do so with caution, so they don't lose their hard earned money. If you carry out a survey of people that bought different categories of crypto coins that are not among the reputable top choices that have remained in the market for a considerably long time, most investors don't have good tales about them, like you. Infact over 70% of them don't last, it's either some are scam projects from the start, some developer teams are not innovative enough to push them through and they die before investors are able to profit from them, then the ones that'll actually give value for money. So gamble your capital and hopefully you'll buy the ones that'll give you good profits, or not so lucky and buy shitcoins.

It is important for everyone to get experience about investing in order to invest otherwise everyone has to lose by investing in wrong coins. No coin's price is fixed in crypto currency market where the price of coins fluctuates constantly. There are different types of alt coins in the crypto currency market with their prices going up and down so it can be very difficult to choose the right one for you. You think investing in alt coins can make more profit I think your decision is wrong because investing in alt coins is risky and many people don't like to invest for that.

If you want to invest worry free and safe I say invest in Bitcoin.Because if you invest in Bitcoin, the possibility of loss is very low because if the price of this coin falls, it recovers quickly.

Well that's how altcoins are still better off getting it for free, what's worse is that some people believe in its development and invest with it, but unfortunately it doesn't match expectations, we agree that the coin you mentioned is the one that can be invested in but I see not a few people who lose due to misguided trading.

BTC and eth are surely safer investment but they won't bring us the profit that some other altcoins can bring. Not every new tokens are good but it's also not difficult to see which could achieve a success. It doesn't necessarily need to outrun it's competitor but need to operate as it's meant to and bring in profit for the investors. In my experience a good L1 or L2 ecosystem token with a solid technology would never disappoint you if you were able to get in early. Solana is an good example of a recent rise. Similarly it's not difficult to consider a comparatively faster and cheaper network would be the next big thing.

It's true that when you have low capital, you should invest in altcoins as they can provide quicker profit, however, it's not that one cannot earn anything by investing in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency in the market and one's investment will be safer with Bitcoin, which is also why one needs to do a lot of research and analyze every single cryptocurrency before they start investing because altcoins are risky and though they are profitable, they sometimes can eat up your investment in no time.
When someone is entering the market for the first time, I always suggest they invest in Bitcoin because of the safety factor since a newbie would barely be able to evaluate the whole market and choose the best cryptocurrencies according to their investment capital.

Most people feel investing in low rank altcoins is the best way to make profit in crypto investment.  They are convinced with the hype of this low rank altcoins thinking it will bring good profit for them . Bitcoin and ethereum is a better option for investment,  what want just need to to be successful in investing in this coin is just to have patience.  Having much focus on altcoins and tokens will end one into investing a shitcoin that will end up being a bad investment.

Same as the previous year. But, this is the lesson indirectly conveyed by our seniors as to why they persist with their BTC and ETH. Blow after blow (correction) every 4 hours makes Altcoins holders bleed but traders still don't realize it. However, for those who are good at dealing with current market conditions, it is very profitable too.

This has been proven through 2 cycles: 2017 and 2021. Many Altcoins have disappeared after just 1 cycle (4 years) or even after just a short time (meme coins or trend coins). Even coins that were in the top 10 many years ago such as Dash, Monero, Neo, EOS, Nem (XEM)... have almost disappeared recently, and few people mention them anymore. And of course, many Altcoins in the 2021 growth period cannot even return to their old peak. Therefore, besides Bitcoin, ETH is the only Altcoin that gives you peace of mind to invest in the long term, always growing steadily and breaking its old peak in the next cycle.
For me, I always have 2 investment portfolios: safe and risky. I only buy and hold Bitcoin and ETH as a safe portfolio. As for the risk portfolio, I will invest in new Altcoins that have new stories of this cycle (not reinvest in old Altcoins). And I only invest in this portfolio for the medium term (3-6 months). When this portfolio is profitable, I will take profits and transfer all profits to continue reinvesting in a safe portfolio.

I've never earned coins from a bounty, but I can relate to what you're feeling. Because I have also experienced buying altcoins that were already registered on the exchanger, I even bought several new coins, but over time my assets fell to minus 50% so I experienced a loss, because I thought the altcoin I bought would rise again but it didn't. This is my worst experience in altcoin investment, indeed many people can benefit from altcoin investment but this requires good knowledge and analysis as well as knowing when is the right time to buy and knowing the right moment to sell.

However, in essence it is true as you said, the right choice to invest is only in bitcoin and etherum because it is proven that it continues to grow and the community is getting stronger and the fundamentals are also good for the future. Investing in altcoins is like gambling, the risks are too big if you can't analyze them well.

Man, I can relate to what you said here. I bought a lot of altcoins and even got few tokens/coins are from tips, there was a huge group with tipping people tokens/coins on telegram. and I withdrew some good amount of shitcoins and altcoins to my wallet. Guess how rich I was? $0.15 lmao..

My only worthwhile coin was a bit of MANA. And the rest was total garbage, not even worth the effort to sell.

Bitcoin & Ethereum both already archive higher value and maybe many think these currency expensive & different to invest as you also mentioned. Basically who want to generate higher benefit from cryto, Bitcoin & ethereum aren't satisfactory investment for them but still have space to raise up 2/3 times higher from current value. And sol, ada, bnb are good for long time too and it isn't bad to hold such altcoins which will going to competitive with ethereum. That's why i told that potential altcoins are also important part of this crypto industry

I think this is your own opinion and it doesn't necessary mean people will think like this when talking about altcoins, some people when discussing about altcoins the first thing they'll think are newly project just like the thread we see here from newbies asking which best newly tokens to pump so they can earn profit.
I think the op is actually making a comparison with the altcoins he saved and some might bring profit while some will  dump, it's best for everyone to think carefully before investing in any coin regardless of what the op said and with everyone opinion or personally from my opinion bitcoin should not be compared to other tokens.

Altcoin the dream of getting rich quick, I had a friend who invested in Altcoin with the aim of getting quick profits, the hypes and trends of the projects where too real and promising not only to know that it was more like a time bomb waiting to explode, it was just a pump and dump coins and  he lost his investment. Most time we get excited seeing a successful investor without considering the up and down in the market, thou Ethereum has proven to be the most reliable altcoin.

bitcoin  indeed good.
There is no doubt that bitcoin is good for the long term.
but we also shouldn't be selfish, because many altcoin have managed to make a profit, namely with short-term time.
indeed altcoins cannot be for the long term yes.

Your very right, investing in altcoin is a very risky practice that's why I just neglect it, most persons that are attracted to alcoins are there cause of greed and want to cash out those 50x or 20x on their investment but fail to understand that most of this project have no real world utility, and are mostly ran by centralized communities that have other agenda to dump the projects.

I won't write off all the other altcoin, but I think exchange coins are another good set of projects to invest inm even if they might be slow in growing but they have better chance of survival than most other projects in the crypto market.

Investing In bitcoin and Ethereum is good but I prefer to invest only in Bitcoin cause all other altcoin are just duplicate of that same idea and bitcoin is still very early and can still grow even more, so I'll rather use this opportunity to boost my portfolio before it gets really too late.

those who want to profit from such altcoins must be very focused on the assets they invest in. They can't afford to miss the moment and are more likely to be short-term. avoid investing in such altcoins for the long term, it will only lose you money. The longer it takes, the more value it will probably lose.
Not all altcoins are indeed bad, but most of what we see nowadays are ones that come and go in a short time.

Your not wrong when you say not all altcoins are badbut the problem with investing in them comes with the uncertainty of identity which is a good one, at times projects that we think is good starting out with all the best hype and even gave out some good profits to early investors turn out to be trash and just a pump and dump, we have ecounterd so many of them on this crypto space and another thign I think it's so hard is to time the market cause you don't even know when it would happen.

Altcoins pump a lot from time to time but it cannot be predicted. Bitcoin follows its price chart in many cases and it can be seen that it can do the same circle every 4 years so holding Bitcoin for long term can profit from it.  But in the case of altcoins, it is not able to maintain its price for a long time even if it is pumped first. Altcoins basically move based on hype. Coins pump a lot when hype builds on them. and when the hype dies down, it does a much bigger dump again. so in the middle of the hype you have to take profit from altcoins. It requires a lot of activeness.

There are some altcoins that have a fairly good investment experience, but most altcoins have a poor investment experience. I have lost enough of my money investing in some altcoins since then I have always refrained from investing in all types of altcoins. However, there are some coins that can be trusted, including Ethereum BNB. I invested some amount when the price of Ethereum was at $2500 which I have held till now and in this short period of time my investment in Ethereum has made quite a profit. We have also seen a substantial increase in the price of Ethereum in proportion to the price of Bitcoin, and at this point I am happy to invest in Ethereum.

I've had similar experiences with altcoins. Many I've invested in turned out to be "shitcoins" or lost value over time, with Ethereum being the most successful one I've held. As a result, I rarely hold altcoins for a long period, typically no more than 20% of my portfolio and for a maximum of one year, sometimes selling them within hours of their market launch.

Altcoin is always risky because It's volatile is too fast. you will not able to take right decision here must of the time. Because there are thousands of altcoins you will be able to make an accurate prediction very quickly about which coins will pump when and which coins you should invest in.  But since altcoins pump very fast, you can make quick profit from here in a short period of time.  However, in addition to this, the price of altcoins also decreases quickly, so there is a high chance of making a big loss.  So to invest in altcoins you have to take risk

Well, Bitcoin and Ethereum are indeed the most appropriate choices for the long term. If we want to invest in altcoins, we need in-depth research and analysis on a regular basis. Because the reason is that there are so many altcoins that are only developing at the beginning, or have lost the competition. Not all altcoins can be scams, because there are several altcoins that are also worth considering now.

That's true op.I'm also among those investors who experienced similar cases with altcoins. That's the reality of crypto market. Only bitcoin and ethereum are best coins and no altcoins can beat their potentiality. Other altcoins are for short term and if you miss the timing of investment, then you'll be in loss. But btc and eth are for long term holding and they'll generate profit for you without any doubt. We think that altcoins are more profitable but at the end of the day, btc and ethereum both are only real gem in market

Projects will fail and also pump, keep track on every single investment made. Altcoins have taught me lesson but I've learn to adapt to the current position I've found myself and will always trigger good moves in the market. Bitcoin and Ethereum have brought popularity to the market and we have these top firms that have accumulated huge pieces of BTC and ETH, they just keep trading and HODL for the heavy bullish season, that's the particular season of making their substantial profits.

Invest according to your desires and goals. If you want long-term investment, choosing BTC and ETH is the right choice. but of course to make a profit takes a long time because the goal is long term, but this kind of investment has a safer risk. However if you have short-term investment goals or take advantage of the hype, it doesn't matter if you invest in new altcoins or meme coins. However this kind of investment carries higher risks.

Every type of altcoin is present here some are so profitable while others are useless so it's up to us that which type of coin we are accepting. Some people invest in quickly pumping coin due to their greed but they don't remember that such type of coins are just based on pumping and dumping which remains down forever after getting money from its holders.

Not every coin can be term as scam but all fear about scam project exists in new coins while old have curiosity of large number of individuals due to their continues success and adding value every year.

One thing we need to understand is that investing is Bitcoin is more secure than buying random shit coins and holding them for too long.
It is good we buy all these shit coins for a limited time. I can see myself holding many of the shit coins for too long because it's going to be waste of time and funds if anything happens to them and they eventually loses liquidity especially when holders started selling their holdings just to invest in other tokens because of the nature and ways many of these shit coins do die off.

When you include BTC and ETH in your investment, you don't have anything to worry about in your investment because you have put your money in the right investment that will increase your profits when you hodl them till the right time which is the bull season before you can market them to achieve profits.

If you look around, you will know that long hodlers are the ones making a huge amount of profits from the market than the short term hodlers, and it will be for your favor if you can hodl for long to earn big in your hodling.

I have lost many times in shitcoins investment ,that made me to vow never to invest my money on them than to make a good choice that will help me to succeed at the end of my investment because everyone want to make profits, and for you to make a good profits you need to invest in a good coins.
