Alt Coins in 2018 - Too risky??

[y3v63n]

Even with all the FUD and uncertainty it is still a very promising sector for casual investors that has unbelievable potential.

I chose to invest in this new and less well-known Crypto market. Because there is a big risk here but also there is a big profit. Banks are still available for those who want a less risky and fixed-income investment. There are very few people in the world who have invested in this market yet, so i'm not afraid, it may be long term but i will be in the winners.

The risks are definitely higher. But I think that makes way for great projects like Polymath where they help companies launch legally compliant security tokens. https://polymath.network/

As of now the crypto market is going in a trend which none of us would like it to be especially after seeing huge pump but things will fall into place we just have to wait and hold on to the coins if we have invested into the right altcoin.

It seems that with the number of restrictions in different countries in terms of ICO it is likely that fewer ICOs will emerge compared to last year, I think it is a positive thing that the ICO scam will also think twice about taking action. We invest in ICO does have a very high risk, then we must choose a potential ICO and not a scam.

Risk had been part of cryptocurrency investment even from the start so it won't have any difference this 2018 same ampunt of risk and chance to make huge profit like when alts is just starting.

[Duzenn]

Because more and more countries began to prepare the regulatory ICO market, so that means more and more of the ICO project normalization, may in this year, it is difficult to see a bogus project, then it is a good time to an investment.

Getting into cryptocurrency itself is high risk, but again we all know that risk taking is the only way of getting results. Taking calculated risks is however advised, get to know what you are investing in first then invest., prices fall and you lose,what really matters is how consistent you are and how you get back after a loss.

with experience from past scams, i think this year will be tight security wise because the ones scammed learned and the new altcoins may come in with improved systems to avoid falling into the scammers trap.

ICO remains a good way of raising funds. Whether folks fall for this or that project or demand that it's absolutely transparent is another matter. So I think nothing changes fundamentally in 2018. The government may adopt a tougher approach in regards with crypto and ICO, but you can still invest as long as you believe the team

Altcoins are not a risky investment in 2018 as many of the altcoin were launched in the previous year and the trends of them have given a perspective on which coins present a future value and which do not. Since there are hundreds of altcoins present in the cryptocurrency market today it is likely for some to succeed.

The usage of the certain project will allow him to succeed, investors are wise now they will buy coins that have potential to grow so investing is not risky if you know where to place your investment, learn more about the project and see how the developers works, if you see that there's a high chance that the
project will progress then proceed and wait after some time, it is not the year but the trends that will move the coins.

Cryptocurrencies will always be risky regardless of the year.  Owning cryptocurrencies will have risks such as financial losses, being hacked, theft/robberies, lack of sleep, depression, etc.  Staying low profile and investing with money you don't need can help reduce some of these risks. 

[Glomerulus22]

Of course that trading altcoins is risky. Nobody should want to be a milionaire overnight. Always invest only capital that you can lose, never use all your available money.
When the altcoin in which you have invested doubles, cash out the half back to get your initial investment and you will still have some % of the coin when it moons and you will have back fiat that you invested - this is most save strategy. If your coin dropped, just HODL and hope for better tomorrow, never panic sell at high loss.

[rudolfaxl]

With all this FUD and banning, do you think we will have as many ICO growths as we did last year?
And are the risks higher!??

I'm not afraid these FUD and bans, but there is another threat I guess. The economical situation at the crypto market changes and the countless amount of new projects can lead to the long term downtrend of already existed projects.

[Elgrown]

The 2018 year does not seem a golden year for altcoin because this year there are many rumors and negative decisions related altcoin.

[jtbcoins]

I would invest in some altcoins, but only in reliable ones. But when it will pump - I will sell it and hold in BTC and ETH.

[camport]

I think 2018 will be a great year for alts, once BTC begins to stabilize after it recovers fully, I think we'll see a nice rise in most alts. ICOs have always carried risk but can be very lucrative if you research and find the gems.

[Puroc]

It is all about taking risks while gathering more as you go, just imagine an elevator, it goes down and it goes up, depending on the people who will be entering and going out from it and the time duration they stay inside, same with coins, they go up and they need to go down take some piece from down while going up...

[Lerikaweb]

Don't  see any connection between ICOs amount and FUD. An ICO is business and there is no place for any FUD there. Yes,  there are scammer and lovers,  but there are thousands of ICO success stories.
