the crypto ecosystem is full of surprises, we can't really know what will happen in the future, whether the altcoin will be more successful or vice versa. even projects with good development and reputation can end up worthless, like the recent Merlin project, which the dev team said was under attack resulting in a rugpull.
That's why, as you said, choosing projects that have been around for a long time, or those that are at the top of the CMC rankings are the best to minimize risk. well, we have to really understand the risks so we can prepare for the anticipation.
long term, I'm very interested in BSC and Solana.

it is part of a marketing strategy. a new project must have difficulty attracting market interest that is why there is a discount for early adopters, it is a form of gratitude for choosing and believing in the project.
Discounts in coin or token sales are common, if the project is of high quality it will be very easy to achieve success and bring a lot of profit to investors. Of course this is very dependent on market trends.

At first I was confused about the function of nft, but after reading several articles and sharing with friends, I think that nft is quite potential and could become the next trend in the crypto world. moreover some famous influencers and artists started to promote their work in the form of nft. this is great, and binance also reads a huge opportunity in this niche that will open up the nft market.
It's still early stage, let's adapt well.

not only the supply is too much, but also has no real function, the fundamentals are weak. mostly just follow trends, hype, for example token memes that use animal names.
look how many shitcoins are pumped up and then crash to the ground, even only lasting a few days. if you don't have self control and fomo, it will be very risky to join a project like this.

Indirectly it might make a layman's bad view of crypto worse, but for those who want to really learn and those who already understand the crypto ecosystem, they will definitely consider this a normal thing. it is very important to have basic knowledge as a self-defense tool in a highly volatile crypto ecosystem.

the hardships of life, say poverty, create real limitations. for those who are at this point, being able to get food on that day is a blessing, not thinking of collecting money to be rich but to fill a stomach that is not always full.
but from that adversity emerges tenacity and resilience in the worst of circumstances. those who want to change will definitely try harder with their limitations.
we really can't choose what kind of environment we are born in, that's why we are given the mind to adapt and find our own way of success.

that is why btc is not good enough if used as a means of payment, the volatility is high. But if you look at it in terms of effectiveness, without space and time limitations, without the need to take care of complicated administration like in the conventional financial system, btc can be used as an alternative for transactions between countries. well, from my point of view, according to my needs, btc has more potential to be a long-term trading and investment commodity.

when there is no real function and only rely on hype and influencer influence, it will not last long. The risk is high because the price movement is really difficult to predict. This kind of coin is not suitable for the long term, if you want to get involved then you should use it for the short term only. even though it is high risk but can still be used, make sure to understand the state of the market, don't be greedy and get out immediately even if the profit is small.

that's how evolution works, slowly but surely. especially in a pandemic condition like this, people's views regarding getting money from the internet immediately changed a lot, working doesn't always have to be from the office, even from home with only a gadget so we can earn money.
this is the importance of adaptation, technology continues to develop so we must be able to adapt to be able to use it well.

The increasingly fantastic price of btc, the role of social media and influencers, are the causes of more and more people who want to join the crypto ecosystem. and it's true, most of them only come because of fomo, without any basic knowledge and want to make a quick profit. most are ready to profit but not ready to lose because they do not understand the risks.

if we do not consider the risk it is called reckless. reckless only rely on luck without considering many things, whether the risk can be managed properly or not that is important to try. that's a bad idea, however, we must do risk management properly, self-control well, until we know how far our safe limit is in dealing with losses. that way every step taken will be full of calculations.
there are many lucky people, but are we among them?
rather than relying solely on luck, we better learn in advance, not in a hurry, so that we can prepare ourselves to face the worst risks.

everyone has different abilities. for those who can analyze the market well, definitely say that trading is the best way. Those who like to write will definitely say that being a product reviewer is an effective way to earn money from crypto. see? any way if it is according to the ability and pleasure of each then it will be a fun way.
Earning money from the internet is a great way to adapt to technological developments.

no one can really answer what will happen in the future, I'm sure a lot of early investors didn't think that bitcoin would develop as it is now, which is why there are so many sad stories about some people who lost their wallet master keys to access bitcoins that used to be bought or mined. Holding bitcoin is also not an easy matter for early adopters because there are many pros and cons, many prohibitions from various countries. this decade is also enough to prove that the future is full of surprises, bitcoin is one example, so make the most of this opportunity. many think that this is still in the early stages of adoption because there are still many opportunities that we can take advantage of, moreover, many large companies and financial systems are starting to integrate with cryptocurrencies.

most people do not have a broad perspective, especially if what is being pursued is instant profit to get rich quick, so they do not consider aspects that can affect market movements. finally panic buy, and when stuck at the top then they easily panic and blame the situation.
all the things that started from FOMO, panic, very not good. we should not hurry, learn and understand the ecosystem first is very good for the future. Knowledge is an important investment, not just money.

I was initially very interested in getting a side job from the internet, which I could do anywhere without being bound by a work contract, I wanted the freedom to work. that's why I'm into crypto, there are lots of opportunities to take advantage of here. I can make money only from home.

11. Solana

The development of the Solana ecosystem is quite impressive, besides that, there are many collaborations with well-known companies, so Sol should be included in the long-term list.

op has included all the potential crypto. long term investment takes patience and persistence to hodl, the market is very volatile, so a basic understanding of the investment and the chosen project is required.

it was a very bad experience, stuck up to 5x. That's how it is.. a project that looks convincing is sometimes just an illusion.

 I was also stuck once, I panicked about buying because at that time I was still a newbie and ico was hype. I joined ico without analyzing the project, and that's where my funds ran out.

Since then I have always rethought to put the funds, and prefer not to invest directly. I prefer to join bounties and competitions to profit from crypto, this is the way I can handle the most losses.

and I've been unsubscribed for a long time so I don't get any more offer emails which I don't think are worth it. I tried the offer several times, the first time I joined, and it turned out that the profit was not that big in my capacity, so I stopped. and a lot of bad opinions from my friends so I quit.
we should be careful too. Many scams take advantage of email, so don't just click on the link in it.

that's how it is, concerns about losing access to our assets if we die suddenly need to be prepared. That's why I always share with my wife and teach her how to earn money from cryptocurrency. I make a special note regarding the secret key to access all the wallets I hold, as well as my wife, so if something goes wrong then the asset is still safe and can be used.

This is a precaution that really must be prepared. In the past, there must have been a lot of people who didn't think that bitcoin would be this fantastic in price, that's why many lost access to their wallets because they stored keys carelessly, and look how many regret it.

well, people who really "have" will not carelessly show off what he has. it was sufficient for his personal pleasure, not for public consumption. I really salute people like that. keep a low profile, yes of course to maintain privacy and security. I'm pretty sure there are still early adopters who hold it to this day.
or there are also those who have released some of their assets and refilled their bags, that's the cycle.
don't see how big the profit is, but look at his persistence as a hodler in dealing with various storms to date. amazing right?

If there is a problem, there will definitely be a solution. if what op fears really happens, there will definitely be a project developed specifically to address that, I'm sure, especially as more and more crypto users. it can be a business ground for platform owners who provide services for fiat attraction.

as long as the state legal entity legalizes the existence of local crypto exchanges, there is nothing to worry about I think. although we know that many governments are against cryptocurrencies, but many also legalize it as an investment tool and trading commodity.

one more great story about bitcoin, thanks op for sharing this information. sometimes i am very amazed and envious of the luck of the people involved with btc. I have to work hard to be able to get big profits from crypto.

well, everyone has their success story, i will look for that too and be the next lucky person

I have a friend, before knowing crypto his life was really difficult. then he focused and learned trading, until finally he managed to buy a house and support his family properly. from zero to heroes.

Coin staking is indeed suitable for people who have a hodler spirit. Staking usually requires users to hold their assets on the platform for a certain period of time, during which time the assets cannot be withdrawn. yes, if you intend to be a hodler then staking is very effective, because you can get additional assets. but really pay attention to the platform that will be used, make sure it is really safe and official.
all strategies must have advantages and disadvantages, understand the risks to face the worst possibility.
