If I had to choose between two evils, I would choose Epic Cash because it is closer to the support price from which it started its ascent in 2021. Theta still has room to fall, so buying Theta, in terms of best ROI, doesn't look profitable right now. That's if you think in terms of best ROI by the end of 2022. Looking at the longer term, I would definitely choose Theta Token, as its concept is fresher and more tuned to the current market realities.

I'm not sure that the success of altcoin projects depends on any standards. Crypto market has not matured enough for us to talk about some kind of standardization. There are still rigid laws of speculation and manipulation, so many of the fundamental factors of most altcoins are irrelevant to most investors. It's just a way to get rich.

Have you ever wondered why these platforms promote these projects? Because they are cheap to produce, they do not require any special concept or technological component, and they are very popular because the DOGE and SHIB projects have created an image in the crypto community of a profitable investment that can make an investor rich. In a bull market, these coins can make a profit for their owner in a short period of time, but in a bear market, these coins are such risky gambling. It has nothing to do with investing, more like a roulette game where only the casino, in our case the platform that promotes these tokens, wins.

When I read another justification of another shitcoin with the argument fast blocktimes + cheap transactions, or something like that, I'm perplexed and say: what, these mantras again, how much you can repeat these memorized phrases?

If fast blocktimes + cheap transactions had a meaning in crypto world, then rather slow bitcoin and very expensive ETH would never be so popular as they are now, they would be replaced by all sorts of DOGE and a million more such useless coins, offering cheap transactions and fast block time. Such useful features as cheap transactions didn't help the ambitious EOS project, DigiByte, Bitcoin SV, Nano, and a hundred more like it in its time.

Nano has a block creation time of 0.14 seconds and almost zero transaction cost. How much did that help this coin? What makes it different from DOGE is that DOGE has a media patron that pump this coin as much as it isn't worth it. It's a common litecoin fork, created in a playful way, no need to try to instill some technological qualities in meme-coin that will justify its growth in the future. This is an ordinary shitcoin, which has the mediocre qualities you listed, which many other projects have, and offering even better conditions for fast blocktimes + cheap transactions than DOGE.


Not yet, but the price was already down to a 93% loss in value. Not much left, if bitcoin goes deeper, then DOGE could reach that mark, maybe even below 1 cent.

A few recommendations on this topic.

1 - Don't look at high APYs, it's a trick to attract new liquidity providers. The higher the APY, the higher the probability of a scam or decrease in APY right before payouts.
2 - Staking on various unknown sites is best avoided. Contribute money to steaking only in known pools on known DEX, for example.
3 - Staking new projects, especially where the team is anonymous, is a rug pull risk.

It's another project that puts the advantages of speed, environmental friendliness, and cost-effective transactions at their fingertips. How many such projects have there already been? But this does not guarantee future success, because there are many such projects on the market. I've scoured some analytical sites and there is little information about this coin. It is not known where it is traded and who invests in it. As long as this project does not get proper attention from funds and large investors, no one will be interested in it, even if it is a million times more technologically advanced than its most popular counterparts.

I'm not sure about Proof-of-Stake being more secure, just as it would be more decentralized. Delegated PoS will clearly be to the detriment of those characteristics. Most likely after the merger ETH will face a number of problems related just to centralization and vulnerabilities, there are already quite a few analytical parses on this issue. I wonder, if you suggest to Saylor to transfer his favorite bitcoin to PoS, will he also say that it will be safe? 

Yes, because in addition to the popularity of the project and the possibility of earning these tokens, you also need to consider the liquidity of these tokens. The project may promise to earn 1000 tokens a month for spending time in its game, and when the player gets them, he will certainly want to sell them, but will face the problem that either these tokens are not traded anywhere, or there is no demand for these tokens, but only one offer to sell. Bounty hunters who participated in questionable bounties faced a similar problem. Tokens were issued to them, as promised, but these tokens were left lying around in their wallets because there was nowhere to sell them.

Есть, как ни странно

Примерно год назад "Глава Twitter рассказал о планах интегрировать биткоин в сервисы соцсети".

But it is not used so much anymore, because opportunities for inter-exchange arbitrage have fallen dramatically and many exchanges have introduced KYC. Earlier, in 2016-2018, crypto-assets prices had a bit bigger spread, personally from my observations and DOGE in this regard helped a lot to profit from this price difference, transferring value between exchanges. Now it has become much more difficult, so DOGE is increasingly shifting towards speculative use only. The project does not develop technically, though why be surprised, it is a fork, a common meme-coin, not a platform for smart contracts, for example. I once read that developers wanted to introduce DOGE staking, but now I'm more inclined to believe that it was just news for the sake of news, to whet the excitement to buy the coin.

  This is an extremely optimistic hope. DOGE can grow up to 1 dollar if Musk continues to PR them as hard, though I must admit that the effect of his PR is not the same as before, because many people began to consider Musk a speculator and manipulator. Even if the price reaches this level, it will only be as a final pump before a prolonged fall. Because this coin has nothing behind it except speculation and Musk's support, it's a meme coin, no wonder. And something tells me that after DOGE reaches $1, token price will lose 99% of its value again.

What does this have to do with altcoins?

Signature campaigns don't give you any knowledge. But if you publish interesting and quality posts, you can get paid for it. So if you want to be a part of these campaigns, you should have already gathered some baggage of knowledge and practical experience in the crypto space that you can talk about in your posts.

Without the initial investment to make money in P2E, as well as in M2E, it is almost unreal, and if there are such projects, it often turns out to be a scam. And now P2Es do not enjoy any popularity, and there is not the kind of activity that was in 2021. If you have a desire to earn on such models, then now on the rise M2E projects, the same StepN. But there is nothing to do there without an initial investment.

If you're not sure about investing in some altcoin projects or you're trying to find them with the help of forum comments, then I can definitely tell you that your optimal choice in investing is BTC and ETH. If you don't understand if these altcoins are worth investing, then you're not ready to invest, because you don't know the market and you don't have certain metrics by which you determine the prospects of such an altcoin. Where can you get such knowledge from? Certainly not here, in the comments to the post. Study more, then start investing, NOT the other way around.

I would say that any trade on the altcoin market will sooner or later lead to losses and the shorter the timeframe in your trading strategy, the faster you will come to those losses. Is anyone trading altcoins with leverage? Those are some kind of kamikazes for sure. As you correctly point out, the best way to interact with altcoins is either medium-term investing, 3-6 months, or long-term investing, 1-2 years, tops.

What bitcoin & ethereum price control are we talking about? Bitcoin & ethereum do not control anything in a bear market. They, like other assets, are also affected by the U.S. Federal Reserve's decisions to reduce inflation. Because of the outflow of liquidity, many markets, including the risky cryptocurrency market, are exposed to cash outflows and this leads to lower coin prices. We should wait for their hawkish policy to change to a dovish policy so that markets can start pumping up liquidity again.

Altcoins are more suitable for quick profits than long-term investments. Many altcoins obey trends, but people think trends will come back and their investments will rise again many, many times over. That's why would-be millionaires are buying up various cheap shitcoins like P2E, memcoins, NFT, etc. Although there are also some good examples in altcoin indsutry for long term investing where the price has gone up a lot in the last 4-5 years.

Давайте не будем размазывать инфо по кошельку по всему разделу. Вы создали топик, там и продолжим обсуждение. А то вы уже в трёх топиках прорекламировали свой кошелёк. Надеюсь на понимание.

To understand whether they are leaving or not, you need to look at their open or closed positions, not their tweets on social media. Certainly, some funds are ceasing to exist on the crypto radar due to heavy leverage. Perhaps the examples of funds you mentioned just wanted to restart their social networks or changed their development vector.

First I read that it was 13% per annum, and then I saw that it was per month. It turns out to be 156% per annum. No serious, long-term business would ever give you that rate on your investment. This is either a ponzi scheme or a regular pyramid scheme that has a legend that they are in the business of investing in various financial markets. They have a mention on their website on the home page about an arbitrage bot that brings in 22.4% a month. Another tale to fool naive investors.
