I trust ecosystems and their native tokens, such as DOT from Polygon, SOL from Solana, ETH from Ethereum, etc. Behind these tokens are large-scale projects with various services and applications, it inspires trust and implies that owning tokens from these ecosystems can generate good income, from holding in the wallet to staking, participating in new projects, etc. These projects/coins can be trusted, because they are not shitcoins that aim to make a quick buck from users. Such projects could include, for example, mem-tokens that do not have any utilitarian functions. Such projects are best not to be trusted.

For me personally, it's a bad investment right now. Why? Simply because the token is constantly losing in its price. But this is actually a pretty common schedule for new projects. When a project enters the market, it starts to get pushed hard by early investors, lowering the price to a minimum and thereby forcing weak hands to sell those tokens very cheaply. After investors accumulate enough tokens, the project turns around and gives dozens of X's. This may be the case.

For now, it is extremely risky to invest; we have to wait for the bottom and the beginning of the reversal.

But stablecoin staking has a bad side as well. It's certainly a good thing that they're not subject to volatility. But on the other hand, if you have invested in staking, and you earn new coins that you plan to sell in the long run (because such coins can, in addition to profits from staking, also bring more profit from holding), then even a much lower annual return, compared to stabelcoins, can be a much more profitable investment. But for risk diversification, staking stablecoins is also justified.

If you want to make money on such projects, you have to enter such projects at the stage of venture capital investment. For example, there was a fork of the STEP project called STEP APP. So during the last unlock, which gave the opportunity to sell 10% of its allocation, gave its investors 100x.

And if you plan on installing these fitness apps and trying to earn rewards, it's a bad idea. Keep an eye out for new projects on the venture capital sites.

There is no point in buying it now. The coin just yesterday made its new ATH, and as a rule, after reaching ATH, early investors start unloading their coins. Buying on highs is bad form and against the rules of smart investing. Now, if you want to invest in this project, it is too late to enter, you have already missed the opportunity.

So wait for the correction, then the accumulation phase, and only then buy.

Stablecoins like UST, USN, USDD have a very tricky link to the dollar and the collateral pool, in the form of a native token of a particular blockchain, be it LUNA, NEAR, TRON, etc. Such projects offer or are about to offer 20-30% per annum in staking these stablecoins. Not a bad interest rate, is it? But will these projects be able to provide such a high interest rate all the time, and won't that provoke a cascading collapse of both the stablecoins, with the loss of the peg and a cascading collapse of the native tokens that act as reserve collateral?

After all, such high payouts to stakers must be accompanied by constant replenishment of these projects reserve funds. But what will happen if the money stops flowing in the right amount?

There is nothing constant in the crypto industry, ways and schemes of making money are constantly changing. The market is transforming and new trends are emerging. Bounties used to be a form of getting new tokens and an opportunity to become an early adopter of a project. Just like ICOs used to be ways to become investors in new projects. Over time, this has all transformed and now bounties are in ambassadorship projects, retroactive airdrop, testnet, etc. These are now actual ways to get new project tokens. Similarly, public sales have transformed, becoming IEOs, IDOs, SHOs, etc. The market is constantly changing and what was relevant 3-4 years ago becomes obsolete and ceases to be attractive, in terms of profitability. The same has touched the bounty on the forum.

EOS was worth 20% or so, quite briefly. Basically, it was just heavily pumped for a few months and then investors started to dump it en masse. It was once called the Chinese ETH, and that this project would definitely eclipse ETH in the Celestial Empire. And this coin was really popular in China. I think the developers of this project at some point realized that it is better to switch to something else and began to develop another project, although recently there was a surge to $10, but still, the project, after 4 years failed to update its ATH, many investors who bought in 2018 are still at a loss, if they suddenly still hold this coin.

My personal opinion, for long-term investing EOS is not suitable, I do not recommend anyone to buy it for profit in a few years, but for medium-term speculation can be used. Alas, it didn't make a killer of ETH.

Another shithcoin claiming to be a GEM and profit x100? How many of them have already been discussed here, none of them have grown so far. Based on my observations, I realized that really no one ever discusses GEM, these projects just appear in the field of view when they have already grown. And you look at the chart and think: well, how could I have missed this project? The whole point is that these projects are really hidden, and they don't get talked about until it's time to look for liquidity for seed investors who have bought at ultra-low prices. That's when the constant mentions of this project on the web begin, and until then it remains in the shadows.

So the AltSwitch project can hardly be called a hidden gem.

In my opinion, this token may now update its bottom. I don't know when you bought it, but if you bought it after April 5, it's a very risky investment. The thing is, right now the market is bearish and the prices of many projects are falling. If you bought very recently, then you bought after the pampa and now investors are skimming their coins, thereby ruining the price. You should have bought this project after it would have shown a long accumulation. But the project is very young, it was growing for a while, now it has started to fall.

Look at the historical charts of other coins that are 1 year old, for example. They all experienced price rises in the beginning, then fall for a long time and only then start to rise or not.

Project Acala could easily go below $1 soon. So you rushed into buying it, it could have been bought much cheaper.

It never will be. Dogecoin is just a meme coin, don't expect any super fundamental characteristics for rapid growth from it. Elon Musk uses this coin for speculation and now there is another pumping of the price, then it will fall anyway, but now is the period, when it is necessary to give faith in market participants, so they buy DOGE. I repeatedly met on a forum statements about $1 for DOGE this year. It certainly won't happen, and don't get your hopes up.

I could at least speculate that ETH, with its mighty ecosystem, might get ahead of bitcoin, though that's very unlikely, but coins like DOGE will never do that. They have no utilitarian features, no ecosystem, nothing.

Astar performed very well last month. Those who had time to buy this year, in the first 3 months, got a good profit. in addition Astar recently updated ATH, reaching 30 cents. I think this is a young project and this coin has potential, so I have no questions about this investment in your portfolio. But Acala Token is definitely a bad investment.

Give it up, the market is now losing capitalization, NFT, Metaverse, GameFi, P2E tokens are now in the risk zone. NFT has no bottom and they can fall indefinitely and never grow again.  Moreover you have no experience, you will definitely lose money with it, it made sense to invest in NFT at the beginning of 2021, then all projects were growing in price and became popular very fast. Now that the hype has passed, don't expect it all to happen again. NFT is the new ICO of 2017. And those who tried to invest in ICOs after 2017, they almost all lost money.

Invest better in projects that have an ecosystem and some real products.

Pretty good portfolio. But why no bitcoin? As important an asset as ETH, for example. I also stick to the idea that a portfolio, for diversification, should have at least 10 different coins. The only thing I don't support in this portfolio is Acala Token. In my opinion, it is a very risky investment, the project has lost 98% of its value and is more like another scam that is not worth the money or attention.

Of course, as in any pyramid, at the expense of the influx of new users. Remuneration is paid from the cash flows that come into the project from the registration of new participants and the marketplace, because participation is not free and you need to buy sneakers, that is, you need initial investments to make money. That's at the expense of them, and formed the rewards for other participants.

This thing is not eternal and sooner or later, as with any pyramid scheme, there is not enough money for everyone and it can turn into a scam.

Я ж говорю не об обсуждении одной и то же новости в разных топиках, я веду речь о дублировании одной и той же новости в разных топиках. Да ещё и если посредством копипаста. Именно о дублировании (подчёркиваю).

Чуть выше я высказал своё мнение:

Join DOGE after the plunge? Probably the most common mistake investors make when everything has already happened, for some reason they decide to buy. They should have bought yesterday or at the weekend, but not now, when the coin is up almost 25%.

What makes you think the growth will continue? Now this news can quickly come back and DOGE will be forgotten again. I'm not sure that we'll grow up to 70 cents now. If everything was so obvious, what would prevent you from buying coins at 12 cents?

Вот мы сейчас и пытаемся прийти к общему знаменателю, так сказать  

А одна и та же новость у нас может обсуждаться в куче разных топиков. Дело именно в том, как изначально подаётся эта новость: если это практически одинаковый копипаст, то моё мнение, что более поздний пост должен быть удалён. А если одна и та же новость подаётся с оригинальными комментариями, то такие посты можно оставлять. Ну, это моё мнение.

То есть у нас в разделе теперь новое локальное правило, что дубли новостей в разных топиках мы не удаляем?

Например, вот такое:
