top holders

When finding a new coin, should the percentage the top holders earn influence your decision to buy in. for example if the top holders own > 50% ?

If there is a top holder of a new coin more than 50% this will have a negative impact on those of us who hold the coin. In addition, the top holders easily play their part on market conditions, I would rather avoid investing in such altcoins, but this is not the case for potential coins. In analyzing coins, pay attention to coin developments, of course for people who have been in crypto for a long time will be able to observe coins from various sides, be it the community or even the comparison of ICO prices with conditions listed on the market I prefer to minimize risk by choosing 50 coins top on CoinMarketCap.

Well this makes sense now and that is right, it could be there is a chance that the project could be manipulated by the top holders, they can easily play the market such as pump and dump, or later on, --they will sell their coin holding coin and make a massive drop. A good project should have a massive number of people that hold on to it genuinely, it means it is back by the community and it is not easy to manipulate. I think this is a part of the investment research that we must avoid.

of course it doesn't affect my decision as long as the holder who has >50% are not devs and only investor, because what affects my decision to invest is,
1. the progress that the project has made from the beginning until now
2. the project idea is useful in the future and has an advantage over other projects (rivals)
3. the team is very responsive and friendly, and always provides information about project developments

On the contrary, if the holders are all investors, then there is a big risk that they will dump it when the price reaches all time high. For the devs, I'm sure they know that if they did dump it, the project will die so I doubt that they will do it.

So it's worst that holders own > 50%, just like what we've seen in Doge. And like the rest of the majority, this kind of setup doesn't look good in my opinion. It should be at least evenly distributed amongst investors and devs.

Top holders meant whales were buying the coins. I do believe if the whales have a lot of consideration before trying to pick a coin to be used as their bags. I have been seeing it so many times that the whales were accumulating the gems.
The whales will be also shilling for another whale as well. that's why the top holders can be used as a way to know how much adoption happened with the coin or token.

that's affecting my decision to know about which potential coin will be boom soon. There must be an exception for the top holders that hodl a lot of coins from the total supply coz it's related to the owner of the token.
Some people were also giving the right opinion about this above me. that needs more evaluation but as long as you're doing it in a good way and then it can be used as a technical aspect to determine how good the coin is.

I think the percentage of people holding a particular coin as an effect on the price of the coin because if it is a coin that is really in demand and people are really after more people holding it will mean that lets of the coin is in circulation which in turn in turn makes the coin most cars and scarcity always drives the body of cryptocurrency Bitcoin for example has a lot of people holding it and with the Bitcoin halving that keeps happening every couple of years the history of Bitcoin keeps increasing due to the decrease in supply this in turn into ice the price of BTC up

Sure, especially if this project is new and untrusted. And especially if we don't know much about the team. The risk is huge, why taking it? There are many other good coins

Now that's the importance of doing research before we know it accurately every new project should be suspected for our good so as not to get a loss, especially conducting investigations from the development team and trying to communicate to ask important things and suspicions about the project.

and holding large amounts of koin above 50% must be wary because holding very large coins can affect the market movement and we will not know if he throws them away suddenly and without thinking about small holders.

Nope i am not influenced by top holders because for me This will lead to manipulation if there are top holders who can just Pump and dump the value of the coin.

i still trust coins with small holders each so at least i know that the investors are a believer and supporter and not just there to Earn but to let the project grow for long term purposes.

walk away to the mentioned  example because that is the main reason why Manipulator succeed in their strategy of bagging money from small investors.

If a team controls the supply of a token you can get dumped on, that's why I invest in mineable projects like BTC, RVN, and 0xMR. It's impossible to exit scam or rugpull these projects.

Personally I don’t buy tokens when I see that more than 30% of tokens are in the hands of one person. Whales can be really dangerous for small investors as they can easily manipulate the price. Also it can be an indicator of a scam project, as big holders can wait for pumping of price and then sell it at one moment. One more thing is that when one person has a big percentage it destroys decentralisation.

[gurunanakji777]

Yes, obviously it impacts. You are saying if 50% hold by the top holders I think I would not consider it buying if the coin is new because there can be a manipulation. Big coin holders can control the market and it's not good for the small bag holders but apart from this, we should check the project development and how strong the community of the coin are these are the basic things one needs to check before buying.

[Ulvajaya]

The decision depends on our personal beliefs, if you believe in the decision that the new coin will become a valuable investment asset, then you may change, affecting our decision to buy the new coin

That's true of course there are other things we should check before buying because after all they are important things,
and when we see that both the development of the project and the community of the coin is good I think it's a good choice to buy it,
but it comes back to each person's decision

Of course mate, the percentage of the coin holders is matters. We should be careful with the coin that have big % owned by the owner.
Thats why we should understand the coinomics / tokenomics of the coin we want to buy, it will surely affect the price in the future.

[goolesby]

Before deciding to buy the coin, what I need to know is the number of investors (holders) and the percentage of coin ownership, a good coin that has a minimum holder of about a thousand and ownership must be evenly distributed, so no one has the most control over coin ownership, so I will hesitate to buy if someone has more than 50% of the coin.
furthermore, the maximum supply of coins is the number of coins that will be circulated to be traded to investors / holders, this coin supply greatly affects the speed of coin price development, the less the better to hold.

[rosenbauer02]

Top holders can affect the price as the small holders will be forced to sell their coin as the supply will increase when a top holder will dump their coin in the market. This will happen to new tokens or coins. If the coin or token will survive then there is a chance that the price will go up after the downfall then the token holder will increase but we don't have a choice if there's a rich person who will bought more tokens than the holders but locked tokens will be safe for as long as it is safe before the top holders can dump their tokens/coins.

[BigBos]

of course. it affects so much, that if a person owns more than 50% of the total amount of coin allocation, it greatly affects the price. maybe, he could make the price drop any time. because of this, some projects restrict one from buying a coin while it is still pre-sale. however, if he does it by buying in the market, I think it's fine. I might still buy it just to use the functionality of the token. but for a new coin, I think it's too risky to hold the coin for long. above 50% is too much.

new coins with top 50% holders? yes, I think this is very high risk, don't ever try to invest in such coins. the downside is that you can get stuck on the coin RUG. I mean you can buy it but you can't resell it. This is something to be aware of if you don't want to lose money.

[oemar bakrie]

very influential,, because later it can change and give high value to the assets that he has bought, but it's all not as fast as we expect, because everything requires a process and the process is necessary with how we hold our patience to have it..

[Wulan_maniez]

We have to be careful as holders in crypto. It is very risky if the owner has more percent. Manipulation always happens whenever they want to. An investor is someone who will be most disadvantaged in this regard when something untoward happens. The owner is the largest holder of control for the future progress of the project.

If the guy is Elon Musk but if the influencer that gives an introduction to that coin isn't the guy then don't you expect that there's so much to expect from it.
Because it's going to be another project that has been being marketed not only by its influencers but as well as the developers. You still need to go through what's an important point on that project before you invest. Change your style of being influenced as you invest.
