risking money for an early stage project, could be good sometime. High risk could result high gain with such crypto projects.
There is nothing wrong in doing a gamble sometimes as long as you are using a very small portion of your capital. A lot of people make the mistake of investing large amounts in new projects which should be done as it carries significant risks.
Many projects early stage may have potentiality for future but the fact is, It can't be defined during its early stage, rather remain doubtful and no assurance of its success at the end.
One can obviously not know at the initial stage whether a project is going to be successful or not, but that doesn't mean one should invest blindly. There should be some research and analysis and if they find potential, they should invest a small amount to try their luck.
That's why establish projects are better which experience so many bear session and still in good condition.
You can't compare new cryptocurrencies with old ones, they are in different leagues. Old cryptocurrencies have earned their names and positions and new cryptocurrencies will need to struggle to find a place among them.
