Bitcoin Forum

A lot of discussions on forum are all about "what coin should I buy? Why?"
Here's the opposite - I want to ask what alts you would never buy and why so.

My example:
Never buy BTT, Tron, Stellar and other coins where the tokens are giving away with all kinds of airdrops. Why? Emission grows with no influx of investors.
Doubting about Peercoin. Hybrid emission system doesn't seem reliable too, though lately PPC began spreading itself via well-known exchanges (changheangel or changelly - don't remember).
+ Libra. Not sure if any explanation needed.

80% coins, tokens and ICO its SCAM. If you want to buy. For start, study in detail all coin information and search detail information about coin developers.

Why you are hating TRX and XLM coins dude they are really having potential to grow bigger in the market. Projects based with TRC10 also got some success while they are getting listed in the exchange.
We are looking for the project in ICO can make the print in the market very strongly. Recent days such projects are coming to us. Because these IEO listing exchanges all getting into a problem.

Also make sure that all token you purchased has have very use cases so you can stay there what you want because its useful not only for profit and income. The lesson is make all sure all the details you need to know was already reviewed before to say I'm all in to this token/coins etc.

if the alt coin not in a top 100 atleast 250 on coinmarktcap dont buy.if coin has good 24 volume at least you can survive if any bad thing happened.specially coins like  adz(no proper plan),and low sat coins with more than 100m total coins and coins that locked 3/4 on a own wallet dont trust them developer can dump on you

Not buying TOKENS is a start. These ICO "money grabs", and "projects" with nothing going for them. I'm avoiding them like the plague. ERC20 tokens, which relies on ETH, and needs ETH to even be transacted? No thanks!

Also, not investing in any projects with no products, or actual useful developments.
You know a ton of altcoins is overvalued, when they are positioned at the first page of Coinmarketcap, yet has never accomplished anything.

You know you're sitting on a literral goldmine, if you find a project with actual development, sitting at rank 400+. HINT: Stakenet (XSN).

Wont even try to explain what they do, because the majority of you wont even read it, but to make it short: Leading innovation on Lightning transactions, (Lightning DEX, dApps, and more).

Do your own research ;)

Just because they are are giving away coins and tokens through airdrops doesn't mean they are bad, the coins and tokens you made mention have very large volumes on exchanges and better liquidity as well,BTT,tron and stellar are all top altcoins and worth investing on

Ripple once was distributed via airdrop. Look at this coin now - top3 of the whole market and lots of perspectices in future.

You have no idea how many top coins was once distributed through airdrop campaigns and are now one of the biggest top 10 altcoins in the market presently, you can't judge projects because they are giving out free coins, they do that to create awareness and for people to feel how the coin actually works

All these ALtcoins with endless total circulation like BTT, Stellar, HBAR WINK etc that does monthly airdrops is off the table for me and the other ones are those where the team is holding significant amount of the tokens in their possession, XRP is another good example

Never invest in a ICO not only is it likely a scam it wont get you huge returns because the project is starting off big.
How can you make 100x your money if you are buying in at 100 million market cap??

Most coins in the exchanges are scam. All the popular ones you mentioned are in the good collectible coins list. I won't ignore it for the moment as some or all these popular coins can be trustable.

i never buy altcoins like trx, gxs, iost because they never reassured for example, police recently raided the gxs office and lost 60% of the value of the coin in the day. It was obvious because the GXS team never gave people confidence, they have always made questionable movements. I think the most important thing to consider before investing in a altcoin is the coin's team. Stay away if they do not seem reliable and do not keep their promises

Peoples nowadays here in bitcoin talk comes and start writing, buy this and buy that and sharing recommendations and financial advices just like that without any proofs or logic. Life doesn't work like that and especially, if you want to become rich you must learn the art of trading and especially swing trading and daily trading. It would be hard for you to do that but try it, stop giving peoples advices and start giving proofs to make peoples believe in your suggestions.

I've bought Tron and Stellar before but I've sold them already. I don't like Tron now, before I bought it because I've brought by the hype that it was due to the news that Sun was bringing to the market. I have no regrets of selling them and right now the ones that I won't invest are the newly created. Those that are being shilled by a stranger which is happening from day to day in the forum. Stop thinking of an altcoin too that has made to compete with bitcoin.

We are on the same boat when we speak about BTT and Stellar but Tron have high chances to surprise us in the next years. The hype created among BTT seems to diminish slowly but steady like Stellar did and the only winner here might be Dogecoin in the end. About TRON , did Odyssey launched already on is there still under development ? because until Eternity which is 5 year from now I don't see any big update that could spur the price to crazy numbers.
Personally I would avoid anything that is below top 100 on coinmarketcap ( maybe even top 50 for extra safety measures )  for the following reasons :

1. "Safety" - if we can call anything safe on this crypto world
2. Volume and trading on big exchanges ( not all of them tho but its a big plus )
3. Good team and some years of history behind them that won't do shady things ( still some of us remember 2014-2015 when a lot of top 30 on cmc disappear without a trace )
4. Some of them have real use case and they are accepted as currencies besides trading on exchanges ( traveling , coupons , plane tickets etc ) and maybe in some years you can take your family to a nice trip somewhere in the world <3

Well, I gotta say you must stay away from 90% of projects, and only invest if a project which completely satisfies you. Many important flaws like a weak team, a team which doesn't stay true to their promises, an unsure or scared community (of course you must be able to detect fudders from true angry investors though) and many other negatives tell you that you better leave and don't look back.

i would never invest in ripple. why? because it is a bank token and it is centralized controlled. it is the opposite of what satoshi and bitcoin stand for.

when i knew if xrp is a centralized cryptocurrency, then i never buy xrp my friend
and i never buying an altcoins with low volume and low marketcap, because thats a sign if the coins is a shitcoins

I agree, the newer coins are very bad to invest in. The smarter choice would be to invest in the coins that are ranked in the top 10 places.

According to those you mentioned alts I don't bet on them especially the stellar I have not found a project to use their platform which is as good as its price on its stellar platform, instead, I prefer Xem , Eos, Kcs, Tky, and Dgb and others. So be careful about buying coins so that we are not happy to invest as a trader in the crypto business.

The typical question "what coin should I buy?" is much more reasonable asking than "what coin I should not buy?" There are almost 3,000 coins listed on coinmarketcap alone. Outside CMC, there are probably a thousand more. So how should you answer "what coin I should not buy?" That would be a very long list.

When I answer "what coin should I buy?" with BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR, BNB, EOS, Waves, BAT, and SC; that would automatically mean that the rest are coins I should not buy.

I don’t really understand why you hate TRX(tron) while it is good to have it. Cheap and a good coin for me though they have some issues going around I still have them. The coin that I would never buy is BITB and Redcoin, I really don’t know why people are buying it but I don’t really recommend it though it is on some major exchanges they have no really product or service at all.

I would not buy any new coin, for trade or hodl, I will buy established high ranked coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, TRON, BNB, LINK and so on. I will not buy Stellar, ADA, Ripple, BCH, BSV types coin. Because I need profit from my investment so I think these coins are not profitable for me.

I have some this red coin and no value until now if only I won’t invest in this coin. Actually there are many who buy and hold TRX because of the value and it’s development on their project so I also hold this some in my wallet.
Many alts is not worthy to invest so might as well let’s buy on top and popular coins.

For me airdrops aren't necessarily a red flag, especially when their are given in exchange for something, like for example votes in exchange listings, sig campaigns and other marketing efforts. I can give you plently of examples of coins that were largely or entirely airdropped and still do fine today even in this bear market.

For me, the biggest red flag is when I see a dev that has a track history of creating and abandoning new coins every few months.   

I've had a love/hate relationship with TRX since they first came out. I've made some good money on the swings in the past but got off of the train in the BTT timeframe. Always watching it though. Justin Sun is a salesman's salesman.

These are secure investment in crypto platform, at the same time many investors are concentrate trusted platform also because any new altcoins or token launch in Binance or Bittrex. It will make good profit on short term so many investors are join these kind of investment. I think majority of the investors are follow your way but these are make quick profit.

Me, too. New coins and tokens are too risky for investment now, except for those that really have the power and are supported by the big exchange with the popular IEO strategy lately.
I am more inclined to short-term investments, so I often see in a short timeframe, if there is an opportunity then I will enter the market. TA and FA are needed, monitoring the volume and determining the right timing. Falling prices in most of the top altcoins also provide a great opportunity to bounce higher, our job is to analyze it well to get momentum. Well, altcoin that needs to be considered is, of course, ETH, besides XRP and XLM. XLM is actually quite potential because of its use as an alternative cross-border payment.

The idea of finding which coin to invest or not to invest relies with how far you are willing to do your research. There are many risks to consider, like sorting it up to where you can filter projects that is considerable to invest your money. It's not easy to stay away from scam projects which have a good marketing strategy, a hype that effectively attracts investors' eyes. Though by keeping track the progress, it will give you ideas if things are just artificial or it's really happening as how the appreciation should be from the market. Point by point, it will decrease the number of  your selected projects. Together with that, you also lessen your chance of being stuck with projects that doesn't have any future progress.

I would never invest in TRON and tron backed cryptocurrencies to be honest. It may have a great market cap but do you see how tron backed projects do? To give an example, WINK has 1-2 BTC volume which should be delisted soon. Before, I trusted TRX and it made me disappointed everytime I bought it. Even Justin Sun's talks were making it lower and lower.

Tron is currently 14th in the Coin Market Cap.  Trading volume can foster investor confidence.  But for those who feel disappointed it might not be easily influenced again.
I have never bought TRX, and with your experience can be a lesson for others to better consider.
Every investment or trade has risks, everyone already knows that.

That used to be my queue to sell...whenever he had a webinar early on :)

Generally speaking, don't ever consider buying alts that don't yet have a working product or their Github has no activity yet for the past several months especially if the project had started for more than a year now! Come to think of it, why would we ever buy alts that don't possess any value but is only pure in form but have no substance or product and mostly being used as a speculating tool on exchanges where it is listed.

I know some of this projects are only waiting for the right time to cash in and will do their exit scam strategy. So let us all beware of this!

that is true,
Giveaway is kind of promotion, do not underestimate it. Yes, Stellar doing multiple giveaways but they have their own reason to do that.
they wanted to reach non-tech or non-crypto users to understand how it works and how to use it by sending them a giveaway, they have stated it multiple times before.
and I do not believe that giveaway would severely push the price down. A wide distribution could help the project in gaining trust from the community,
for me Stellar is a good coin, and this is one of the reasons for me to buy it more after the giveaway ends.

it is quite risky to choose an option in altcoin which tends to have no further price development, right now I prefer coins and altcoin which are clearly on the market list as listed in the top 10 on CMC. This is to minimize losses and new coins always endanger users, they often lose value in quick calculations, especially when they are newly listed on the exchange.

I would rather invest in btt tron stellar and peercoin instead of projects coming into crypto space this days, every good projects have given out part of there coins and tokens out for free and this doesn't mean the project don't know what they are doing, its part of the process of creating better adoption

Having them base on price I think is ridiculous then ETH BNB LTC XMR etc not worth having because the price more expensive than TRX.

I wouldn't to invest in Alts based on ETH Platform mostly there are garbage and not worth to save it.

I have ETH DOGE besides BTC, and I try to stay away from shitcoins or garbage.

Airdrops are done for promotion and developers being generous eneough to conduct an airdrop either means they want to promote the projecf and gather new investors or to reward those who are holding their token. The project everyone should avoid are those project who has a slow development and no market volume, in short those who are dead coins.

A lot of shitcoin that makes people stuck to buy it and then suffered a lot of losses. Coins or tokens that are not supposed to be purchased are coins that do not get full support from the developer and do not develop. But if BTT, Tron and Stellar are categorized as inappropriate coins for investment, in my opinion it is not true. for example tron ​​has good technology that is able to compete with ETH. I made a fortune after investing in Tron and Stellar. but for now it is not possible to invest in altcoin, because the market is falling and the dominance of bitcoin is getting stronger.

Yes and this is why most of the bounty hunters and investor's already left the ICO's and IEO's .
There are so many project and most of them are scam and if not the price would end up being dump in the exchange .
Only small percent of the new project could keep up to their initial offering price I don't really know if there are still some who could come up to their initial price when they hit the exchange so what's the point in joining?

I think tron and lumen is fine. And this airdrops I think for attracting more peolle. And I like this. I avoid those tokeks which don't have a working product or don't have a good idea of project or not clear about their project.

Way to go, you have explained it all in couple of lines which everyone needs to understand as this is not the right time to invest in any altcoin expect ETH (my personal opinion). There were time like October to December of 2017 wherein the altcoins were like jackpot and during this period Stellar, Tron and Ripple performed extremely well but now it's the other way around due to instability and too many scam projects and shit coins we are skeptic to invests even in legit project.

Definitely MOON, PAC, XNT and thousands more

Haha! You are not a real crypto investor until you have owned at least 1 Million MOON coins!!! I had to leave when Bleutrade delisted them.

I still hold TRON and what I expect from airdrops in my opinion is not the problem if the tron ​​is doing it, no need to worry, I'm sure tron ​​is able to develop faster.

BTT, TRON and Stellar maybe have bad moment with always lower price, with BTT after success at the first time listing on Binance today we got BTT very cheap price and most running two months price still keep down and not buy back from investor and owner to change price of BTT or Bittorent.

I guess some of these coins are issuing the Airdrop program, so it will make the price of the coin on the market down, I think not. This is a form of promotion so investors are more interested in coins like BTT, Tron, Stellar and other coins.

All efforts have been made to attract investors. We know that many people leave crypto because of worsening conditions. Now it's time to work hard to make the changes better as in the year 2017. Let's get into the market and encourage people to invest.

I want to hold TRON though that coin is not doing anything special this year. I think that they should work on Torrents more.

it used to be nice a long time ago. Things changed since then.

I don't know with you, but if the coin can give me a real profit, I will not reject it. For example, in 2015-2016, xrp was not predicted to increase higher, and many people underestimate that coin. But I still buy some amount and hold it, and I keep it for a year if I am not wrong and then suddenly, in 2017, the price was increased so high. But maybe the situations were changed, and this time, that coin cannot give the profit anymore, but I still have some amount ;D Just in case, the history repeat again.

@xen1oph you should not buy BCH because they burned their own coins to fake volumes, and conned people into believing that they were buying the real bitcoin. When it comes to tron I have mixed feelings about avoiding it because if Justin’s lunch date with Buffet goes through then it’s prices may jump, but if the meeting is a failure then it’s prices will crash badly. Libra is a coin which people should avoid at all costs, it’s prices will rise for a day or two and then it will tank and it’ll never be able to recover.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/trons-justin-sun-to-reschedule-warren-buffett-lunch-very-soon

I would like to make it general, I will not invest in a coin that has no volume, developers are not transparent on their platform and their platform did not go through a feasibility study if the coin has a usage in the community, we all want to invest on aa coin with a good potential in the market and if these three are not there I will not invest.

Hmm, the alts which I will not buy probably are the coins below the Top 20 of CMC except Doge because it was famous already, I think it is worth to risk. Another I don't want to invest in is the new tokens sprouting these days because my perspective about of them is that they're just a bunch of either sh*tcoins or sh*tcoins in the making (those coins which become useless because of pump and dump).

Ps: Don't get triggered, it's just my own opinion ;D.

Well I will not invest in shit coins it is really risky if you invest it, there is possible that it may not increase anymore and it will continue to go down the price. It is better to invest in top coinmarketcap that I recommend to newbies to invest, not shit coins.

I think, altcoin that we should avoid is altcoin which doesn't have an average transaction volume above $ 100k every day. In my opinion, the most important thing for investors is liquidity and if the liquidity is large, it means there is always activity in the market

TRON already had his moment of glory in 2018. When some people made 5-10x profits just in few days. Now the era of low volatility has come and it’s worth really working hard to find a worthy project for investment.
To increase your chances in obtaining valuable coin look for a great community support, frequent social mentions (not fake ones) and perspective roadmap.

I would agree with your assessment of Libra, but some other mentioned projects can be quite profitable, especially the ones that have Sun behind them, a master of aggressive marketing. I would probably pass on investing in any green energy, cannabis, mining, charity etc. crypto projects as they tend to fail miserably.

I have not purchased and do not plan to purchase coins of those projects in which they (coins) were integrated in order to be able to access the ICO. Since if you replace them with the same ethereum, then the result will not change.

For me, Stellar and Tron are really good coins, valuable, very potential platforms. These are 2 of the coins with the highest ROI since 2017. Besides, for your question, the currencies that should not be invested are those with no liquidity, low transaction volume. . Only those conditions!

RIPPLE = XRP
I will never invest on this one! i never and dont want to trust this one.
their billions of supply and the unknown wallet sending huge amount once the price is high is too risky.
What is the product or project anyway?

More recently, I tried to catch coins on binance that conducted an ICO there after the growth of bitcoin, but after the last failed ICO, I will not do this anymore, since I lost faith in them, the exception is harmony (one) and everything else is rubbish, on which just made money and now nobody needs it.

I would never invest in centralised coins like Ripple, because I think such coins are killing the idea of blockchain and crypto currencies in general. Stable coins like Tether are centralised as well, so I would stay aways from such "cryptocurrencies".

Do not buy altcoins that are centralized with unlimited token supply because they do not have any value.
What makes altcoin valuable is is rarity and utility.

XRP is really good if you just want much faster transactions you can use it instead of BTC and the transaction fee is much lower if you compare. stable coins such as tether is also a big help in the market you dont need to convert it directky to fiat if you already have tether.

Do not invest in a coin where you see a lot of hype, especially in the centralised coin if you need some serious profit. Most of alts end up in scam which is really frustrating the secret of crypto currency is holding the asset and wait patiently until the market turns green.

I believe in DOGE more and many people like doge because the coins can be mining (mine), but I have to say honestly, the time and inconvenience that you have to spend to follow these sites really do not match the income of the doge.

At the current state, I won't be investing on the following altcoin:

BNB - reason why is because this coins is already overpriced and had been manipulated since the beginning.  Although they have a good marketer but the usage is limited to its platform so the growth of this coins is limited, it only grow that much  because of strong manipulation IMHO.

EOS - because of this article https://cointelegraph.com/news/corrupt-governance-what-we-know-about-recent-eos-scandal

LIBRA and any other stablecoin -  because it has a fixed value, I do not see any profit from this.

Alt Coins which I wont invest in and I can recommend new traders never invest in; TOP-1 TRX (TRON) and all TRX related coins. WIN (WINk) and BTT are the most well knowns.
I think all investors (experienced and unexperienced) are know Justin very well. No one trust him any more. He mostly lost all his community with wrong decisions and statements.

At the beginning many people believed his bullish statements about his products, and when people see the real face of Justin, no one cares about him any more.
So stay away from TRX, BTT and WIN as I do 😊

You are right, every altcoin at such a stage of the market as it is now prone to closure and panic sale.
As for your question, I will answer: never buy a token whose team has not passed KYC verification.

The anxiety of the crypto investors starts with such fearful kinds of stuff and researching the project with all details will decrease the level of anxiety in which investors don't want to be inside it. Project with a strong team is not always successful but strong teams never let the reputation of their project to go down. If the survival game is the reason why projects fail one by one in the crypto ecosystem, I don't believe passing KYC will ensure the investor from the dead coin prices.

There are more than enough good altcoins in the market that are worthy of investing in. It would be best for anyone to make thorough research and find those that interests them to invest in. I for one. I would rather invests in coins that have proven to be stable, rather than unstable coins. Your options would always be safer when you invest in stable coins.

I would have preferred if your statement portrays self opinion, rather than public advise. When you say never buy BTT, TRX, XLM.... It looked more like you detest those coins. The fact that they have benefits for holding (example holding TRX gives BTT) doesn't mean they are not cool.  I understand your point anyway, it's somewhat valid but never an investment advise. Well, I invest only in very few altcoins for long term basis, not usually more than 5 because most won't stand the test of time, most will be forgotten in the long run.

i will not invest in altcoins if the rank is above 500 in coinmarketcap list
because thats a big sign if the alts is not good mate,,
and in the TOP list i will never drop my money to any fork of bitcoin buddy, for example BCH, BSV, BTG and many more

There are so many scam projects that it become and tough decision in which once should invest. I believe before investing your money, you need to check complete project details for trust site (https://www.coincurb.com/). Verify project members it's whitepaper to safe your investment.

That will be clear for us if the rank is too big, that coins will be difficult to rises. But if the next bull run happens, and that coin can increase and get a better position, I think it will worth to invest in the project. In these situations, we don't know which coin can be the potential to increase because we are in the bear market for a long time ago. The situations will be changed when the bull run comes so all coins can compete to get a better position. We will see a new coin position too.

If you buy or invest in altcoin that the rank is in 500 or more on CMC when bull run happen will not make your altcoin immediately get better rank, because when market bull another altcoin above your coin will get impact too and the rank can better, I think invest in altcoin that far from 100 rank will be risk and you can get zero, competition in altcoin very hard.

its  seem like 90% of  altcoins looks like scam this days. did some  cross checks on coingecko this morning and i can say  90% of all altcoins price has  drop from 85% to  99%  since all time high. a token like DGTX i will never  buy this token . Adam  raised $ 3M usd in just 24 hours after  the ICO he raised more than $ 5M usd and its  almost two years now  there  is no single  project  out. 

Personally I wouldn't invest in XRP and I can advise you to do the same thing. Ripple is centralized, it is owned mostly by big banks and as far as I know it's supply isn't even capped so it can be created out of thin air i any given moment. Probably the best possible strategy is stick to BTC and ETH.

I don't answer what coins I won't buy. Because in my opinion, in investing activities, especially in crypto, you have to be wise. People ask us what coins are good for investment, just answer the ones that you think have a good opportunity without having to forbid buying coins.

Why don't you buy TRX and XLM?
TRX and XLM are two pretty good coins today and both are among the top 20 largest coins in the market.

As I know Libra is a stable coin, investing in Libra can be safe but it is difficult to make a profit.

in my own opinion, I recommend you all do not buy tokens or coins that are more than top 100 coin marketcap,
because it is very risky to invest there

Assets with the lowest from like WINK or tron-based ones are the ones that I will never invest in. Tron made me disappointed everytime I bought. I would rather just join an IEO and wait whats gonna happen. WINK made me wait 2 weeks before I could sell, I will never do it again.

I can't specifically name the Alt-coins that I won't invest in but the characteristics that I will avoid are simple. I will avoid the Alt-coins that are low market cap, doesn't have an active team and those Alt-coins that doesn't have a progress. Those three factors are the big decision makers for me and they always do good since most of the Alt-coins that I have invested in gave me profit.

I will not invest in XRP, I know many people are fans of XRP and it is also a coin with many practical applications. But the XRP team is causing controversy when they own too much XRP and every time the price increases they unlock it to sell.

I think the same thing about XRP. I do not invest in any project with a central infrastructure. Besides, I do not think that the price of XRP will increase at least 3-4 times in the future.

So in the long run, the most sensible investment is always Bitcoin.
For short-term investments, users should do their own research. But my choices are: Zcoin, EOS, BNB.

Their market strategy is very clear for the experienced crypto investors and the investors know the power of decentralization or semi-centralized projects. Ripple team can sell their team allocated token with a single phone call and their project is aimed to control the worldwide payment problems. These problems are caused due to the centralization but they come with the inefficient solutions of centralization.

People ask what coins to invest in because the number of altcoins is huge and there are shit tons of altcoins that are literally shit coins. So if you ask people what coins not to invest on, there will be a huge list of coins. So isn't it better to ask for coins that one should invest in since the list is actually very short as there are just few well known and good coins out there?

lots of shit out there that i cant even think og investing in or may be just to gain from it and move to another coin as we have lots of scam coin and token out there that you can only loss yr investment and not gain most especially this bear market has expose lot of them and while you need to be very careful befre you invest now.

Investing on alt coins is simply waste of time like if you want to hold the funds for long term investment. For short term for investment you can always choose the trading as your field and then you can go with it.
If there is any clumssy behavior in altcoin you can skip such altcoins and goes to other cryptos.

XRP is good in terms of transactions but I don’t really think that this will be top priority of crypto investors. If people are of the opinion that bitcoin charges are high then I think its profits are too high. If we make comparison on the basis of financial benefits, Bitcoin is a way ahead of all altcoins. As far as the stability goes, an investor’s profits highly rely on the volatility of his digital assets.

Right, because if the supply is large and the participants for the airdrop are also not limited, then the potential price reduction will be very open, so it is very risky to lose if we invest in such a project, even though there is a high bonus offer, but there is still no guarantee not to down prices.

You mentioned the name of the top 100 cmc, your reasons might be acceptable but for now I think they are the ones above.
so if you don't mind what coins to buy, can you share them with us?
Finally I don't or rarely save coins for a long time just for daily or weekly trading.
if it is true for the long term I will choose btc.

This is not a 100% guarantee against fraud, but if the identification is not approved, then I would have thought about investing in that team.

I have my own ideology about the altcoins I should invest and they are the ones I have seen that are really working while looking for more ways to expand, and as such Stellar fits this description. Am not much of a fan of Tron but I think the team is active in their own ways far more than most projects. The type of altcoins I stay away from are those being hyped by so called experts, or those whose team have proved to be inexperienced in what they want to achieve. Also, even if a project is listed, I always tend to check to see if the project is really in line with their roadmap etc.

In 2018 I had thought that joining ico would certainly be very profitable, so I invested some of my money in ico but in the end, it was not the profit that I got, but I lost my money at that time, there were indeed some ico who sent the tokens that I bought, but until now there was no exchange and no price, from that experience I began to distrust and will never buy ico tokens again, but in investing now I prefer altcoins that already have exchanged to like LTC, usdt, eth and altcoin in the top twenty coinmarketcap.

I agree with the general sentiment that accelerated increase in supply and introduced emissions via airdrops and similar reward systems almost
always lead to a gradual and steady drop in market price, and such projects should be generally avoided;

however I would put TRX as an exception in this group because a lot of TRX is also being burnt as part of the transaction process and other activities, so the token economics of this particular coin is pretty robust to make room for the reward systems in place.

At the moment Ripple is low in value and a lot of investors get frustrated when they have to wait too long. I think the main reason why this coin cannot grow is that the supply of XRP is too large and every year there are billions of XRP unlocked which makes investors at risk. In my opinion, Ripple's team needs a new strategy to improve this because if they do not plan to buy back, the price of this coin will definitely return to $0.1.

Of course no one wants that to happen but in the bear market we have no right to decide the price of the coin so the current solution is to sell all XRP and wait patiently for cheaper prices.

I will not buy tokens or coins again through ICO or IEO. I have already participated in many ICOs in 2017-2018, but only a few have given satisfying results. The rest is just rubbish.

Now, if I want to buy altcoin, I just have to look top 50 on coinmarketcap. Too takes time to review a new of it. There is no more for ICO or IEO.

Everyone thoughts are different and indeed any investment this year will disappoint everyone. I think investing altcoins during this period will cause you to lose more money and the risk will increase if Bitcoin trends to drop in the bear market. Now all analysis is wrong and maybe this year we will face new difficulties so now is not the time for you to invest all your assets. Of course if you don't have too many financial problems then investing in this market will be a great opportunity for you next year.

All started last year not only this year but things being worst by this year . but yeah we should not focus on lost and think only possitive way whalving will happen next year and i believe this will be a big help for the price .

I am too scared of altcoin at the moment. No profits and prices always go down after every day. I have invested over $ 5000 in altcoin since the beginning of 2019 but until now I have only $ 900

Alts that i won't invest in, maybe not want to mention the coin. I just not like to invest in ICO, only do trading like usual. Because for me, invest in ICO means really high risk high profit when the coin success we can get high profit, but opposite things can happen too. Maybe if trading like usual, we still control and know where price will go and at least already have platform to buy and sell our coins.

I wouldn't invest in the coins that were released this year because almost all of them are scamming people left and right.

Well, we all have different reasons, it's just that we don't buy altcoin that we don't want because we don't see the potential of it for give us profit. In trade, we will all take sides for the things that are profitable, and no one will take the things that are harmful. I am not offending any coins, but of course, we have our own views on this.

why you want to buy something that can make you lose when you can choose to make a good profit with a coin with big opportunity.

I think there still good altcoin that launch this year. The only altcoin that i dont want this year is the one who has crowd funding . Starting a bussiness with the need of investors fund is not really a good option for investors, mostly because you dont know how good or bad developers can handle a bussiness. They are always giving an idea but dont know how they will really starting it which is i think is not good start.

I usually go for top 10 altcoins as it will be a save investment. Mostly new altcoins are scam and if I ever have to select any altcoin expect from top 10. I surely gather complete details of altcoin from trusted site (https://www.coincurb.com/news/), check it's whitepaper, team members and project rating. I recommend you to follow same pattern.  

If you are looking for fast transaction and lower tx fee  XRP is the best option .you dont  need to make it as priority coin just use it as alternative to BTC  for fast transactions and if you use coinbase wallet you can easily convert it back to btc again in just a second.

For shit coin without have many support from investor and company I will never invest for long time, just take the moment where I will buy with lower price and sell soon after price is higher, many way how to get much profit but now with shit coin like BTT, TRON where you can see how much price of both coin have really drop.

I will only invest on the popular ones probably top 50 coins in the market cap, I have bunch low market cap holdings which I should refrain or stop accumulating. All that I’m focused now are projects that has high probability  that could last long.

Me, too. I don't want to take the risk of trading or investing with a shit coin or unclear new coins. The recent booming IEO in trusted global exchanges helps to make choices and strengthen analysis, although not a 100% guarantee, at least the chances are greater. Avoid trying your luck just because of the hype, love your funds.

In this market there are more than 2000 coin available and I don't to invest in most of them. I pick those coins which I like which have some potential in futures. And I think tron steller and btt are good. Tron and btt are over hyped bit still they are fine doing there job perfectly.

There are a lot of shitcoins in the market and we should really identify the coins that we are going to buy if it is shitcoin or it is worth it for us to ensure the safety of our investment.

if you understand that a coin is just a shitcoin that will not bring any benefit to the cryptocurrency world, then why you should buy it at all? better to send your BTC right to my wallet. you don’t care  ;D

but how much they was gived per person,I guess not so much and the price will not crashed after airdrop :)

I never buy XRP(ripple) because this token is one of the centralized token were most of the whale investors controlled the price in the market.
That's why most of the time the community suffered when pumped and dumped happened to this coins they always cried due to their loss was not a joke too for sure, this coin are really good to hype the community traders.

I will not take part in cryptos that are difficult to develop and of course the reason is because they are not profitable. I don't think other investors will put their money in junk coins too. so my advice before you invest is to make sure you invest in safe coins like BTC or top altcoin that already exist in markets such as ETH, EOS / BNB. to minimize your losses.

How many of you recommend investing in bitcoin forks? Is there any chance that they will pump in the future?

You may just hear some opinions of someone but do not be made sure, you have to do your own analysis so that you are not disappointed by just listening to the opinions of others and you do it. but in the history of hardfork many are profitable if you have the right analysis just try to take place for it

I don't and haven't invested in bitcoin forks coins but I will never invest on them also in the future. They just copied bitcoin and what credit they should get? Especially the coin created by the infamous Craig Wright, I think that was BSV? He's fraud and will always be fraud.

In my case I will recommend people to stay away from bitcoin cash and many other bitcoin forks, I do not really have problems with forking projects since this allow us to see which one is the best of the two, but the people of bitcoin cash were claiming they were the original bitcoin and that is not true, they are a bitcoin fork and nothing more and many people lost their money buying that coin when they thought they were buying bitcoin and that is not fair.

Altcoins that I won't invest in? In simple terms, the ones not within the top 20 on CMC. If you see me holding bags of any alt outside this range, I probably got them through giveaway, bounty, airdrop or contest.

Like seriously, Stellar made the list of coins you think aren't worth it? Don't think that's good but anyway it's your opinion and should be respected. In my own opinion, altcoins that should be avoided are those ones which we know aren't performing well neither is their team doing anything new to revamp the interest of the community. The reason I do not think Stellar is a bad altcoin is that, overtime it has maintained its goals thus being the favourite of most investors; also they sets up activities to revamp the interest of the community and the crypto space.

Generally, I limit my choices to the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the present but there are others that reflect no chance at all. BTC, ETH, and XRP are one of the few investments that I personally have which among are considered as my short-term investments.

Preferably, it is highly advisable to diversify your investments by increasing your portfolio through equally dividing your investments. Focusing into one coin alone may be risky especially that you concentrate the risk into one coin compared to dividing it through others.

Totally doesn't make sense. if you said never invest in shit scam or garbage coin is better than it.
I believe you are ever having non-top 20 coins in your wallet.
The only best answer not to invest in a crap coin and this more than enough rather than saying never invest in other than top 20 consider the top 20 is changed anytime.
Some coins placed at top 20 were getting replaced by another coin that was below top 20 CMC.

I agree to you the altcoin you mentioned above is useless the total supply are super huge like this btt I stay away from that kind of altcoin its better to stick at bitcoin, ethereum, eos that proved the strong fundamental for so many years.

Big markecap altcoins are somewhat called good altcoins, but still that depends on how every will see a certain coin.
If we are talking about altcoins that won't or avoid to invest, I think there's thousands of then, or maybe 10 thousands or more.
The fact that majority of the altcoins are scams, I believe 90% of the altcoins are not worth to invest in.

Tron and Stellar have constant users, and if a company chooses to airdrop their reserved token to the community, it's a welcome development meant to expand its user base, stellar and Tron have been relatively stable despite the bad market situations. I was once a beneficiary of blockchain stellar airdrop and that didn't affect the price.

Altcoins are a very risky investment in this market because these are very easy to collapse coins and can be easily manipulated if whales hold large numbers. I think now is the time when a lot of people will tend to sell more because everyone's psychology is currently very bad and they don't have much confidence in investing. If this does not improve soon, only good coins will exist in this market.

I'm not a prediction expert but 95% of altcoins will be wiped out of this market as most altcoins do not bring any profit to investors this year.

do not buy ico coins in the market that do not have a very strong community because there are so many examples of coins that are not clear and the market price is broken or even ico coins that look successful at the beginning turns out later on the ceo coins are exposed to legal cases for example CENTRA.
The point is do not ever to longterm ico coins that are based on tokens because there is no safe, only a small portion is safe.

Here at this time 70-80% coin of still scam so don't spend your money and time for scaming coin. can you carefully search a good coin with there developing then you can invest which coin best after searching. For this you can help coinmarketcap for finding good coin with your invest.

I believe in investing in the top 10 to 20 in the CMC table. the rest I will ignore.
the reason is easy, it is difficult to enter CMC listings and to enter into the top 10 to 20 coins, it requires a struggle and not all coins are capable.
Sounds too simple, doesn't it, because I don't want to try investing in coins which I consider to be still weak in foundation,
and risk of losing profits.

even 95% of ICO projects are scams. Take a look at projects in 2019, none are really successful. Prices fall many times after listed exchange

All the coins on coinmarketcap are scams. People should invest in Bitcoin and hope that they make money.

We only talk about buying good coins just because we want to get profits on our investment. We do not want to talk about the coins that we do not want to buy. Again I am talking about good investment coins. Some of them are Binance Coin, Bitcoin, Sessia, ADAB, Miracle tele, bittorrent, huobi. I am sure these coins will yield good profits.

You have enough reasons to choose several coins as investment instruments. I don't think MiracleTele is a suitable coin to invest now. Because they are in trouble and it is proven that the current price of miracletele is very difficult to increase.
If you want to invest, both short term and long term, in my opinion, choose some coins that have high trading volume and these coins are among the top 10 coins in CMC. It seems like it's a good choice.

I will research the project you just listed, no hard in doing some thorough due diligence and learning about some projects with use cases. I will no longer invest in any project right now and only will collect what I can for free. Once I am in a financially stable position I will divide any profits into segments, low risk: Buy stablecoins and place in Nexo to get 8% interest annually, medium risk, buy some large-cap coins like Bitcoin, TRX, VET, etc, some that also give airdrops as it helps grow some bags. Do some smaller 30% of my profit into medium and small-cap coins with great potential and dynamic teams. I will NO LONGER EVER invest in fully centralized projects run say by one man who can control the token or coin any time and lock our funds up. From now on will only ivnest in projects that have high liquidity and I can buy or sell their coin/token with ease and at any time.

Miracle tele is  a scam and prices are getting lower ?? I see that in the Bitforex Sessia exchange it always goes down so what's in it if it keeps going down. ADAB volume is still small and it's up to you to buy or not.

Creating a coin is as easy as counting 1 2 3, that's why they can create a project just by having a platform and then they run it as they focus only on making money.
percentage of scam projects are still counting, most of the crypto including those crypto that is not yet to circulate in the market are created to make money not to make a progress nor to become successful in the future.

Well, to be honest, I think you can invest in all the top altcoins, even if they often carry out various aidrops, because as we saw when all altcoins begin to grow, even those altcoins that you listed grow well in price and give a good profit, and the same thing will happen when another growth of altcoins will begin, so I think that investing in such altcoins is possible.

Become the winner in altcoin investment is easy, just looking which one altcoin want to listed at other big exchange market you can buy one or two days before coins listing, sell just few hour want to active trading in other exchange market you will get much profit but never sell at new exchange after listing because price could be dump by trader.

In as much as I believe almost 90% of altcoins are not worthy of investing I do not believe that TRX and XLM should be in that category. Your only reason for adding them in that category is because of their giveaway or airdrop, which I don't see anything wrong with it, what of those which aren't doing Airdrop whhy aren't they performing well? The issue here isn't the airdrop but the team and if they are still working hard like before or if they are tired; and this is why most projects are lagging behind while most are performing well.

The only alts that i won't invest is the altcoin who don't have any good value and not worth for long-term investments, that is why i only invest my money in XRP, BCH, and ETH because this altcoins is good for long-term investment like bitcoin and it could increased it's prices in the near future.

What kind of analysis are we talking about? These are almost identical copies of Bitcoin with their own individual roadmap. I do not understand what can be analyzed there.

Reasonable reasons why someone or I personally would not invest in Altcoin? because most of them are worthless altcoins, but I'm not saying the highest altcoins or those already on the coinmarcetcap list.

a simple reason but can be a recommendation for newcomers to be able to start trading on several altcoins that are already registered on coinmarketcap to minimize the risk of loss. indeed, not all projects can launch their tokens to penetrate the exchange market and be in the top 20 at CMC, even lately there are many projects that look promising, but the launched tokens are not registered at CMC because the coins only become junk, and not much liked by investors. therefore the recommendation you mentioned is very suitable for most people who want to start investing and do not have a high enough risk of losing because the coins they are about to trade or invest are already registered at coinmarketcap

Always trust your decisions, do not follow the decision of the other for you to not regret it. Do not buy altcoins just because of rumors or what your friend said. Make a research in order for you to find good altcoins.

These are basics but we tend to carried away with the the trend when we see a sudden surge in the value of any altcoins just like how we did invest into Ripple (XRP) when it's value was increased by folds. But after the recent debacle I don't think anyone will be easily carried away by these hypes as it looks like end of altcoin era. As you have mentioned market research is a key but I will not be investing in altcoins anytime sooner.

I don't buy completely anonymous coins because I don't believe governments will allow such projects to exist. From the exchanges, they definitely will be removed.

Well, I think that you can take at least the top 50. Since there are quite good projects that are developing and working. Top 10, Top 20 are already quite a big price and not as interesting as the top 50.

So just depends, playing for the short term? Or long? Long I go with projects and the team, short, tend to start with the top 50ish and see what I like.

my advice invests in a good coin so that your investment funds remain safe and can provide maximum results. You can invest in BTC, ETH we all know BTC is king so choose the obvious and be able to compete in the market.

to be honest 95% off the market is complete garbage that is just there to make the "creators" for lack of better word money, and its ruining the market.

top 20 is pretty safe but some garbage coins there also.
Tron to be honest seems to be one of the biggest scams , with a complete tool as the "creator" lol.

Actually there are so many altcoins that I don't want to invest in. I will discuss just a few , oke we start with XRP because token bank,
next SC (Siacoin) volume is low, it will be difficult to get profit, Furthermore, NXT is confused about explaining the shortcomings of this coin,
which is certain, I always lose if I invest in NXT, and finally BTG when talking about this coin my emotions immediately go up. Maybe I have
a feeling of being disappointed with BTG because I lost my biggest investment in cryptocurrency when I decided to buy BTG. But never mind
at that time maybe I was in the learning phase, still not good at coin analysis. Those are coins that I don't will invest right now.

95 percent is way too much and you mean only 5 percent are not garbage ? how is that possible when there are so many popular coins that i see  . being popular means they are not a garbage coin  . they are not 5 percent but i think they are over 49.9 percent and the rest could be garbage and sh8t coins  .

top 20 is only consist of small list , meaning those coins that are included on the list are the best among the best/rest   .  there are no garbage on it  .  trx is also a popular coin so i think its not a scam   . there are many unknown coins that can better be called scam than trx  .

The top performing coins are worth investing in these days.

I will get with new altcoin have stable price or better keep investing with top altcoin on market cap, I don't think want to invest with altcoin have drop lower like BTT or Bittorent, Ripple because I have waiting for both coin BTT and XRP pass one years price still down and look can build with higher price again.

Altcoin now has no potential and any investment can cost you money, which will be bad for your daily profit. I think this year will be difficult to choose a good coin because any coin in the top 20 is also very volatile and the downtrend is overwhelming this market. In my opinion should hold Fiat or Stablecoin and wait for the market to return because opportunities are still waiting for us in the future.

90% are the sh*tcoins, only the top 20 coins with a good market capitalization are worth to invest. The coins like ETH, BNB, LTC are some of the good potential coins and these perform well in the market. So, it'd be better to stick only to these coins and stay away from the garbage...

I confess I do not understand your attitude to TRON, BTT and Stellar. These are not the only coins that are distributed in airdrops, while the distribution amounts are not so great that they would create problems with emission. In addition, these projects are in the top 50, which already indicates their good liquidity.Whatever I invest in low liquid assets.

Tron, BTT and Stellar are coins that have great liquidity and I think it's good as an investment. Trading at a large exchanger and having a fairly solid developer team is one of my considerations in investing. Besides those three tokens, I think BNB Coin is a good coin for the long term

I would never buy anonymous coins because when you buy anonymous coins and hold them in your wallet, you become more suspect than others.
I mean, who people buy anonymous coins? In most cases those who do some illegal activities.

Not all anonymous coins will be removed from trading platforms, but the fact that cryptocurrency exchanges will soon be under state control is very sad.

These are very good investments in this market but you cannot be sure of the future of these coins because the market has been decreasing more recently. According to me in this list only Stellar is the most potential coin to invest because they have a very large number of investors and every month this coin has a program to help people can receive this coin for free because so if you consider investing in Stellar, this will be a good choice during this time.

Volume is really important for me and I would not invest in or buy coins with low volumes. For example Holo, Puındix, WIN have no volumes no matter what happens and they will be delisted soon or some delisted already. I am always looking for assets with high volumes so I will be able buy and sell easily. I dont want to wait weeks to sell my coins.

There are too many alts and most of them are short lived. It is sad to think that those projects ended briefly after all those months of advertising and hype. Searching online, you could see almost the same coins in the top 50 list so my opinion is not to invest to the coins lower than that rank but I can be wrong because those low coins might still have chance to grow when we least expecting it.

I agree with this do not go with the altcoin with huge of airdrops, i do not like all altcoin do this airdrops .

 

Yup, there are really lots of altcoins that won't make any profitable margin so better stay away especially from those with suspicious activities even the advertising ones. In this industry, every "promo" could be too good to be true so always be careful. Read and confirm first everything you saw online and then decide as wisely as possible so you won't be a victim of those scam projects.

Tron and Stellar are belong to the top ranked Altcoins therefore they are one of the best choices for Altcoin investment. Refer to coinmarketcap.com for the lowest ranked coins and you will know of which coins that not worth for investments because they are becoming crap altcoins. https://coinmarketcap.com/

I won't invest in anything that is below 50 rank in coinmarketcap but from time to time I try to find some hidden gems along the markets I will admit this. If I would start to put every coin I won't invest it , it will be a long list. Also when it comes to give advice I prefer to be neutral in this situation as I don't want to influence anyone with my personal thoughts, however the only coin that deserve your attention right now should be bitcoin and only bitcoin, the rest are of them you need a lot more patience with them.

Increase price from altcoin higher than bitcoin is why many investor like for take profit with invest in altcoin, by investing in altcoin you can get profit more than 100% depend on how altcoin price growing up, but in bitcoin maybe only take growing about 10% is higher and you get small profit if trading with bitcoin.

What altcoin i never buy?
Hmm... i will look that coin is worth or not.
Like what this coin mission, who made it, market, etc.

But i prefer buy old altcoin who already long time.

Just confirms my argument that it is the greedy who go for the alts. Bitcoin can give you anywhere from 2x to 20x returns in the next three or four years. But surprisingly, many of the users are not satisfied with these sort of returns, and they want even more. Such people opt for the altcoins. And most of the times they will end up disappointed, as only two or thee out of 100 alts on average will give them such high returns.

Now let's introspect a bit. I don't understand why the users consider 2x to 3x returns within a 12 months period as inadequate. Remember that the United States Treasury Bonds are having a yield of around 3% per year. And compared to that, Bitcoin is giving 100 times more returns. I am not against investing in altcoins. But in altcoin sphere, there are too many scam projects and sometimes it is difficult to differentiate them. 

I analyze the CMC volume and the future progress of coins or tokens. but most of my reasons are because coins lose value. so i didn't buy that. like tokens today, I have no desire to buy and hold long-term. like BTT, STQ, etc. because I've suffered a lot of losses from coins that are pump and dump. no future progress and only making junk coins. but for old coins, I'm still 50:50 like Stellar, Xrp, Doge, Dgb, etc.

Every altcoin which proves more capable to rise is a good choice to add to my portfolio because I prefer to diversify my investment portfolio with different altcoins. In view of this, I perform very in-depth research into the existing the coins on the market, study their trend for a particular period of time and follow their news for major developments which are likely to cause a boost in price increase before in invest.

Any chance I get to make some %profit out of an alt i take it, there is more in this cryoto space than one can always imaging. But my only store of value remains the giant Bitcoin. Anytime am in profits I cash out to bitcoin  and am gonna hold on till am done with crypto and which am not sure am ever gonna be done with

When you mention greed, you proove your point, no one goes into buiness to male a minimum returns, we all try to maximize our prpfits margin and that is what real business gems do, just a quick one is that one may decide whether going for long term or short term, which ever way it is all that one needs is a stop loss in order to minimize the loss
And in order to make the best out of this space one needs to have the balls to go in for alts

You will need to provide specific details to why you are saying you will not invest in this altcoins. Statistics and facts are all that matters in the crypto space and market, this will help newbies understand why you think they shouldn't invest in the altcoins you have suggested...

Do not invest in altcoins that have low market capitalization and also have low 24hr volume in the market. If you bought this kind of altcoins,  I'm sure that you will suffer loss.

New altcoins seem very unattractive to me at the moment, because the market is really unstable. As a result, only one percent of all existing projects brought profit to investors and this fact is disappointing. I am investing in BTC right now.

I just came to tell that I double thoughts of Libra. Sort of principal.
Other alts - MOON, BCH, LTT maybe

Libra and every coins from CMC top 50+. They are probably be dead in the future

i invest in those coins which have limited supply and good trading volume and more visible in big ex changers and nt in huge supply and unknown ex changers

You cannot argue that coins above the top 50 will die in the future, they are competing to be the best in rank and public trust. I do not have the same opinion as you I think that, if you are an investor / trader you will be able to determine a good coin to buy even though the coin has a rating above 50

Most of the coin that you gave I don't have that so maybe that is not a potential coin. But maybe for the others that coins is potential.
Your right most of the thread now they want to know what coin is good to buy and good to see that they have thread that given an Idea what coin that we need to avoid to lose our money and choose other coins who are more potential.

You can't judge the 50+ rank coins on cmc are gonna be dead because some of them have real project and real product. It might become sucessful in the future

Diversifying your investments by putting your money in different coins is just an illusion, most altcoins move in very similar ways and they do it at the same time and we have a name for that, an altcoin season, so there is no point in making your portfolio more difficult to manage than it should be, just pick bitcoin and an alt that you are willing to hold for the long term and that could give you all the diversification that you may need in this market.

RIPPLE - with the 42 billion supply and seeing some unexplained transfer from their wallet to another or exchange.

Libra - We can tell now as they have some investors backing up out of the project. and i don't see a stablecoin from them in the future.
If i were the Facebook CEO, i will offer a much useful project and not a stable coin.

These two coins are centralized. With Libra, many of its partners are starting to wag their tails and drops the partnerships.
EBay, Stripe and Mastercard drop out of Facebook’s Libra Association (https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/11/ebay-stripe-and-mastercard-drop-out-of-facebooks-libra-association/)
Facebook’s libra cryptocurrency coalition is falling apart as eBay, Visa, Mastercard and Stripe jump ship (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/11/ebay-drops-out-of-facebook-libra-cryptocurrency-one-week-after-paypal.html)

Litecoin is one of them. The devs or users can lie and say LTC is just fine the way it is, when in reality it isn't. It only seems fine at the moment because it's hardly used compared to BTC, but how can it really grow when it faces the same exact problems as BTC does right now? Based on past performance, I expect the "Litecoin Foundation", to do absolutely nothing.

Litecoin like most other Altcoins have no real adoption, and after leaked chat between Franklyn and Charlie Lee about lack of development and no transparency there is no bright future for this currency. What's really sad is we've seen a coin can have a critical screw up, hard fork, and still become the number 2 coin (Ethereum). But let's just keep doing nothing for LTC. the only who think this is fine right now are those who already made bank either on LTC or some other coin, and don't really care where it goes.

Personally I stay away from projects that have no real use case,  that amounts for a lot of cryprocurrencies that are just crypto. They are not privacy focused,  not based on any use nor guarantee any dividends.  Then I look at the problem or services it seems to render,  then the market capitalization.  I really do not want to mention projects,  rather help people weed out projects that may potentially die out.

Investment is indeed very difficult in terms of choosing the right time to buy, the altcoin we choose, and predicting the future, all of it must be really mastered in various matters about investing before we enter investing, to be honest I am still not interested in investing a lot once the fear that I face, maybe the next time I invest after the normal price returns.

This time it will be very difficult to invest altcoin and if not careful, you will encounter a lot of big problems. I think it is best to wait because we will still have more opportunities to make money in this market. In recent months the market has been constantly volatile and Bitcoin's value is still in a downtrend so investing in altcoins will only lost you more money. I personally will invest when everything is stable again because that is when the altcoin will start to recover.

That's probably a good idea not to buy coins like that for the reason you gave.

I own some altcoins, not many, and my interest is exclusively in proof of stake coins.  I have a hard time owning anything that doesn't pay at least some income on an investment, which is a mindset I acquired from years in the stock market.  Bitcoin is an exception to that, but altcoins aren't.  Therefore I wouldn't own any coins you can't earn rewards on.  Navcoin, NEO, and a few others I love because of the ability to earn. 

Aside from POS coins I wouldn't think of owning any altcoins that were ranked probably 50 or lower on coinmarketcap.  Anything below that would seem to be purely speculative and ultimately unprofitable.

Good thread, op.  Not many people talk about what they don't want to own.

In this case, I cannot give a definitive answer, because every token/project has the opportunity to develop into a much better one. But clearly I do not want to invest my money in projects that have poor and unplanned development. I see many projects that ignore development and break their promises after the sale of their tokens, I think something like this means the team that handles this project is not responsible and runs away from investors, it's really frustrating. I really don't expect to find a project like this again.

Altcoins especially the new ones are still able to grow and develop so it would be unfair to assume that unpopular coins are a scam. I think we should give them a chance and opportunity to succeed. I'm not saying that we should invest with these coins but let's just allow them to pursue their goals by not mocking on them. There are still lots of potential coins these days.

There are thousands of altcoins made and you want a list of those that are not worthy to invest? Maybe you will burn out picking them? There only about 5 percent that are worth following and not all of them are worth investing.
