Be careful of alts you hodl

[indriasyifa]

not the emergence of new coins that can compete in Coinmarketcap is a current situation, where no single coin penetrates the top 10 born above 2013, on average new coins die and disappear in the list, I think, there must be new innovations if want to go to the top 10 at the moment, the biggest opportunity I see in many coins is BNB, maybe this coin will achieve success to shift other coins that already exist in the coin marketcap.

be strategic, thats the only thing you should do

I was just looking at the coinmarketcap table since 2013, I was surprised in what I saw, many coins topping the charts then are now almost non-existent, we need to be careful of the kind of coins we hodl especially for long term. Most of these projects just die after the initial hype.

You should know that over time, projects that are not invested in development will regress compared to other projects. Many projects are born but there are very few successful projects. I believe that very few people hold those altcoin from 2013 until now

2 of my holding alts is turn to scam, i will be more careful in my next investment, holding altcoins nowadays is really like gambling, my advice is to stick to bitcoin, in my future investment i will not buy altcoins anymore

I completely agree with this reasoning. Personally I sold all the altcoins that had the most hype / fomo in 2016/2017. And I bought only promising new lowcap! 90% of my portfolio is made up of new lowcap.

At every market bubble, you have to start from scratch. It was necessary to take advantage of this bearmarket to analyze again all the new altcoins which did not have the bubble effect of 2017. All those who have not yet exhausted the potential of hype (rebranding, new tech, big exchanges, ... ).

I am on about 7/8 new promising lowcap, and I have no doubt about their future performance! and something else I do not invest in absolutely any ICO or shit token!

You are right long term HODL is not a good strategy for altcoins because of altcoin inflation. Especially for small matketcap altcoins. Even you have to think twice for the biggest marketcap altcoins like ETH.

[rowenta01]

I'm more careful now when choosing which altcoins to buy and hold for long term. I've already learned from my past experiences from joining ICOs and getting bounty tokens. They just dump after it is listed on exchanges and it never recovers to its original price because devs are dumping their tokens too to leaving their investors lose their money. I just hold now the top coins on coinmarketcap like eth, ltc, ada, xrp, bnb.

For me nothing should be kept long term except BTC, and maybe ETH, LTC, XMR.

Everything else is safe at all, and the market works only by speculation. The biggest perfomancs of yesterday will not be those of tomorrow. Dogecoindark (Verge), Pivx, Raiblocks (Nano), Antshares (NEO), we must clear all those and find the next projects that will perform as well.

We must not stay asleep in this market, we must work, and analyze all the time. Take a lot of risks too. It's not by staying on old stuff that you are going to make money .. Look where are Ark, Pivx, Verge who is also starting to go back to the marketcap, and so many others! good luck to you!

[kogozer714]

yes there is indeed true, we must be careful to drop the choice of coins that we hold. now a lot of good coins at the beginning but on the way they disappeared. we must be able to choose and research before making an investment.

[Ifemini]

I want to rephrase this and say

Be careful of every token that you hodl; either bitcoin or altcoins
Pumps and dumps are quick; which is why you need to stay up to date information wise

Be smart and get your profits each time

one thing I have always know for sure is that many of this project will die off either in the long term or short term. Soon, we will only see stronger projects with good use in the market.

Even altcoin is in the top 10 now, if four years later one of them doesn't grow better to compete with other projects, it will also be eliminated and gradually forgotten. Just as Yahoo had and lost

[cosmofly]

There have even been many alts no longer working and we should really find out before buying and holding them long term.
We need to learn more about blockchain technology and its related trades in the crypto market.
The more knowledge, the less mistakes will be.

As there's no real assurance if what future direct the movements of our investment, yes even those who are inside the top Alts can't assured anything, but with an investors mindset who really believes that the market will bring something better holding is still one of the best choice from this industry.

I agree, be careful when HODL altcoin, especially cheap new coins, because if it is eliminated in the trade, the coin has no value, meaning your money will be lost.
It's better to buy altcoins such as TRX or XEM which are overcrowded on exchanges where the price is also good for trading. Even the profits obtained are not inferior to bitcoin investments, because less capital is needed.

Yes, be very very careful. It is either you choose the few ones that have been on top for a long time time or do not hodl any at all. There are only a handful of great altcoins. The rest are, as what a lot of experts say, mere shitcoins. Many altcoins are just jumping on the crypto bandwagon for the sake of money.

Yes, it is true
there are a lot of dead projects then altcoin becomes shitcoin.
and I agree with you, so it will be very risky to invest in an altcoin in the long run. except for a few altcoins such as the top 10 altcoin.
in fact, I see that there are many projects that have died from various campaigns that I participated in. although the token has not yet been exchanged. it's like a scam and there are many

What coin do you mean? to hold coins we must really choose coins, like I chose ethereum as the coin I hold

I think investing with the top altcoin is indeed not too risky. I mean, you are not too worried if you hold a coin because most of the coins listed in the top 10 in CMC always have price developments, besides that there are many users who have investments there.
yes ... the project is dead, the team doesn't care about developing their work map or coins are difficult to develop in the end they will become shitcoin.

There are two types of holders:
- Well planned holders: they are people whom choose good projects to invest, and wait for low price to enter. Hence, they will not worry by holding their coins/tokens that bought at cheap price, and they actually know that there are very low probability to see those projects end as dead ones.
- Un-planned holders: they are people whom buy arbitrarily and stucked with their investments, then they have to hold unintentionally to hope that they might get their capital back.
They are very different kinds of investors. And the second type investors should be careful with their investments.

[BBjoe]

the topicstarter is quite right. if we speak about alts, i prefer investing in alts with a practical use. the second thing i always pay attention to is how much time since the tokensale has been passed. the last project i found that combines both i mentioned is taklimakan network.

[Alohadanc3]

I agree with you. If you took only one year interval you could see the same thing you don't have to take since 2013. Many coin which is in the top are losing its marketcap constantly. There is many problem regarding it the main problem is development when they placed ICO the hype was good but when it comes to the development nstage most of the project failed. That's why community started to avoid them. I saw many projects like this. One more problem is alternative everyday many alternatives comes and the old one not upgrade themselves whth time so in they started losing popularity. Plus mis management or marketing is also a big problem. So it's good if you always aware about what you hold.
