I agree with you, NFTs only have a momentary hype and to be honest they don't have any fundamentals except just a useless crypto. I personally don't like NFTs because of their ridiculous prices. And in the past many artists and influencers promoted Nfts but in the end they tried to take advantage and then let nfts collapse. I thought how could anyone be interested in a digital image that has no real use case?

What do you mean by staking your investment? It's much better than leaving your coins in your wallet. But you have to choose a trusted exchange for staking. You are lucky because you can use all your initial capital and crypto profits to keep investing in crypto. If you can hold your altcoins for a long time while still staking your coins, I am sure you will gain a lot of profit in the future.

Bitcoin has risen up to 200% if we look from mid-2023. That is a significant increase for Bitcoin. And some altcoins have recorded bigger gains and some altcoins have even hit their ATH. Meme coins, AI coins and RWA coins have risen 3-8 times this year. So actually altcoins rose much more than Bitcoin. But you have to be able to find an altcoin that has an increase of more than 200% if you want to get more profits from Bitcoin. I mean if you only get 100% upside then it's much better to invest in Bitcoin because it's a haven for crypto.

If you want to do short term trading and follow the trending narrative, I think you can convert 50% of your Bitcoin to altcoins. You can choose several altcoins with narratives that are currently trending, such as AI and Defin. They can give you profits of up to hundreds of percent. But don't put your money in many portfolios. You can put it in 2 to 5 altcoins. And if the price has risen high, you can take profit and buy Bitcoin again. Altcoins can give you huge profits but the best investment is still Bitcoin.

You have the best coins on the market. All your portfolios are big cap coins and have very good fundamentals. It is almost impossible for a coin to rugpull or exit scam. You have the best altcoin here. But such coins usually do not have fast growth. But I'm sure your portfolio has good growth. Those are two different things. I can tell you that you have made a good decision and you just need to wait for the value increase in this bull run season. I believe your coin will grow significantly by the end of 2024.

Please tell me if there is such a rule. If there is then I will not participate because it does not pass the requirements.

I think this season's bullrun is a super mega cycle where there will be a lot of altcoins hitting their ath. Especially with fund managers such as Blackrock participating in the BTC ETF. I think there will be a lot of new investors who will get into crypto and some will try to invest in altcoins in the hope of getting returns of up to several hundred percent. I think this season is different from previous seasons. I see this as in 2017-2018 where Bitcoin became very popular on the internet and many people were curious and learned about it, making the value of Bitcoin and several altcoins increase many times over until its peak in 2021. I think this year is the same as then. But for popular altcoins I think this year there will be many new projects that become popular and replace old altcoins. Some well-known examples include Rndr, Fetch, Ondo, Manta, and Altlayer.

Earlier I checked CMC to see the HDN token. Based on the information there, it is stated that HDN is more than 2 years old, with an ATH of $0.17, 3 times greater than the current value. To be honest, I was doubtful about HDN because I saw the data displayed on CMC which was not very convincing. This is different from Rune which has verified data and many exchange markets. But of course hidden gems must be found on exchanges that are not yet popular. I think I'll try investing a few dollars there. This is not financial advice for anyone else but I see HDN has a similar concept to Uni and Rune, correct me if I'm wrong.

I do not think so. The only reason why someone would put their money in altcoins at the risk of losing their money is because they want a big return that you won't get if you put it in BTC. BTC gives you the security of your assets as it is almost impossible to lose their value. This is not the same as altcoins that can die. You can see the history on Coinmarketcap that 90% of altcoins from 2018 until now how many projects are still surviving? I think it's less than 10%. Altcoins can bring a good narrative that can be implemented from market needs such as AI and RWA technology which are the current narrative. But we don't know when that token will die and be replaced by a new token in the same or different narrative.

I agree with you and that is also the problem with most Airdrops. Those disguised as fraudsters use airdrops to access your wallet and take your money. Some airdrops also trick you into buying and staking their coins but in the end they are just coins without fundamentals. I think this issue is what makes airdrops have a 50-50 rating.

I believe Airdrop has very good potential but unfortunately I have never had a good airdrop.

I think we are currently in an era of transition from traditional finance to blockchain finance or DeFi. In 2016 - 2017 we can say that crypto is the technology of the future. But it's been 8 years since then. The era has changed very quickly. Currently, crypto has entered every aspect of life. And that is also accompanied by the rapid development of AI technology. I think crypto and AI will be our future.

Honestly I love Layer-2. They were created to solve problems experienced by layer-1, especially network congestion. Currently I often use layer-2 to make transactions because it is much cheaper than erc20. But I heard in the news that this March Ethereum will create a mechanism that will make gas fees much lower. I've forgotten what the project was but I think it was around March 13th or 14th.

I was unlucky because I invested in CAKE and UNI when the price was very high. At that time I didn't understand the concept of DEX and I thought if they had DEX of course they would be in the top 10 of CMC. But my prediction was wrong. I had to suffer huge losses from those two coins. Since then I decided not to invest in DEX coins. But I think I changed my mind because of the 2024 bullrun season and I see that DEX will have potential. But currently I am still hesitant to participate in it.

In fact, I have experienced profits and losses from the crypto market. But I am grateful because I got a lot of benefits from there. Answering questions number 2 and 3, of course I still take some profits and use the rest to increase the value of my investment. I'm not a trader but I'm a long term holder so that's why I often profit from losses. Crypto will still continue to move and develop. There are still many people in the world who are not familiar with crypto and I think the crypto market still has good potential in the future.

I've bought some BGBs in the last few weeks because I believe that they will be one of the blue chips in the next few years. BGB and Bitget are still not big exchanges but I am confident in their future potential. I've tried using Bitget and to be honest they are quite good and currently they are improving their business. This is not financial advice but I myself have tried investing a few hundred dollars in BGB.

I also experienced losses on the hyped Metaverse and meme coin projects in 2022 where at that time I bought SAND, MANA, VRA, Shiba and Doge and hoped they could give me profits of up to hundreds of percent. But what I'm holding right now is a token with a loss of -90%. This is an important lesson for me not to be tempted by altcoins if you are not a trader and want to protect your assets. I'm the same as you. I bought ETH in 2022 for $1,100 and I still hold it to this day. It was my hope to get back the money I lost to those damn altcoins.

I had a big loss in 2022. At that time I tried to invest in new projects and projects that were currently hyped like VRA, SAND, MANA, and meme coins like Shiba and Doge. These projects increased rapidly when Bullish and look even in 2024 I still lost a lot of my money from these five projects. I already recovered my money from Doge and Shiba but the other three projects even dropped to 90% of their current price. At this time I advise everyone to be very careful in a bull market like the current one. It's better to invest in altcoins like ETH or Solana and if you want to bet you can try new projects but DWYOR.

That sounds very ambitious. I also hope that in the future there will be projects like Uniswap and Arbitrum that give a lot of money to their participants. My friend can earn up to $2,000 from arbitrum. I don't know how he did it but I did see $2,000 in his wallet. But he said that there were many projects he participated in that ended up being scams.

I'm not saying that we can't make huge profits from Airdrops. But expecting projects like Uniswap and Arb to give away hundreds of dollars to almost all of their participants is something that happens very rarely.

They promise unreasonable profits. I would never spend my time studying a project like that. If they can provide profits of that size then of course when the project already has an exchange the initial miners will immediately take advantage and make the project rugpull and end. I prefer projects that make reasonable promises such as clear goals and a reasonable vision and mission.
