Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic?

[topbitcoin]

In my opinion, holding the top 10 is the best and safest step, projects or coins that have a large market cap, namely the top 10 and the lowest currently is $8 billion, so it is safer and calmer, when there is market turmoil, the community will usually help to pump again.

I’ve been around long enough to see plenty of top 10 coins go away to nothing. That being said, diversification is usually a good thing. I don’t know if I’d blindly throw money at whatever happens to be there. I can understand holding BTC & ETH. Maybe even a different scaling solution like MATIC or SOL. Maybe even a meme coin like DOGE if you believe in Elon.

The terrible thing is that every certain cycle the Top 10 altcoins always alternate with new ones, some are due to bankruptcy, stagnant development, old technology, fraud, weak network security, or other things that have problems with the development and running of technology on the altcoin network, which makes investors lose money on altcoins as before, even though basically the market capitalization is quite large, but it is not a guarantee that the money invested in the development of altcoin projects can get benefits in coin diversification.
Even if there are people who do it, I think it's the same as gambling, even though they have done research in many ways and found a conviction to invest in the project.
But this returns to each one, because of a decision that is taken by you, you alone will get the profit or loss, but never doubt bitcoin, which has always been top 1 to this day and has never been replaced and never will be.

The top 10 coinmarketcap isn't as good as long, if you look at the chart of the top 10,
such as Ethereum, XRP, Matic, BNB and ADA all have very high ROI,
and are you sure you want to invest in one that already has a high ROI? 
in my opinion it's better to look for altcoins that still have low ROI because the risks we will accept are also much smaller.

Often the top 10 coins have been exchanged for other coins. I think we should turn to altcoins that will provide more returns. The thing we need to pay attention to is to invest in an amount that we will not be upset when we lose. After all, we take risks. We can also invest in the top 10 coins, but it has to be at a certain level. I have always loved making baskets. That's why I don't invest most of my money in a single coin.

Different coins can be stars in the new bull run. Coins that have previously provided significant returns may not always yield profits. Although they have proven themselves. I think the ranking in the top 10 will change. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the market well.

Altcoins with low ROI also have other risks which can also be very dangerous for investors or traders in the short and long term, because the altcoins you mentioned and which you think have high ROI are altcoins which are still very much in demand so far the possibility to remain in the market is always greater than new altcoins or altcoins whose ROI is still low so the possibility to disappear from market circulation is far greater.

The top 10 coinmarketcap is indeed not always the same every year and every time there is a change in the top 10 positions in coinmarketcap, it indicates that there is an altcoin that is in great demand by many people so that the trading volume continues to increase and makes the ranking better than before, but for Ethereum, XRP, Matic, BNB and ADA, that's still good enough for everyone over thousands of other altcoins that rank way too far from them.

 but never doubt bitcoin, which has always been top 1 to this day and has never been replaced and never will be.

If you enter the crypto market and doubt bitcoin, then you better leave the market and don't invest in any other project.  because even the safest and most reliable coin that you don't trust, you are not a good fit for the market. indeed, I also disagree with the idea that investing in the top 10 will be safe and certainly profitable for us. In the altcoin market, aside from ETH, everything else is more like gambling than investing.  I believe the upcoming bull season will be similar to last season, the top coins will be replaced by newer altcoins, so we should be careful.

[Bitcoin2009]

Of course holding top 10 rankings is the safest thing than holding at a lower level, but in my opinion the best thing to get big profits is to dare to invest in new projects, holding top 10 is safe and profitable but it takes a long time to be profitable, while new projects are more easy to profit 10x even 100x within a year.

What kind of new project? shitcoin or meme coin that just makes it a pump and dump by implication?
I wouldn't have a problem with people doing it but on the other hand it is precisely with this state of mind that you will be a little lost in my opinion.
It's not an investment if you can say but it's like gambling because you just want to be in a new project with the hope that it will be pumped in such a way as to get a lot of profit in a short time. it does sound exciting because you just need to be there and leave when you get the profit. But on the other hand, you should have another thought because such projects have a much greater degree of danger.
The profit you get is only a small part of the many scams that exist in a new project and you will get that profit also includes your momentum whether it is right or not in looking for an unclear project like this because if you are wrong just a little in the research done indirectly you will lose the money you invested. I think such conditions are not too worth it to do.
Instead of that, I'd rather be in something more promising and of course bitcoin is the most promising place to be compared to what you're doing with a new project.
Even though in this case the risk is also definitely there because indeed we cannot be here without risk but the comparison is quite far when in bitcoin and in shitcoin like that.

Holding the top 10 cryptocurrency means it'll make the portfolio stronger. Even with this kind of portfolio people experience loss which is normal. As the market is highly volatile no one is specific on the price movement. It all depends on our way of risk management as well as the ability to hold with patience. Most of the time the disappointment with top cryptocurrency holding happens while getting more greedy as well as with situations when we have the plan to be rich in the short term. For this people keep on switching between different assets. For long term profit expectation top 10 cryptocurrency is a best choice, considering the 20k+ cryptocurrencies available in the market.

[Woodie]

The second anybody mentions investing & hodling in the top 10 coins , what comes to mind is playing it safe!
If you looking for less risky and less volatile coins this is the right place to look, but if you want higher rewards with a touch of risk...then you need to look beyond the top ranked coins, probably go even beyond top 100 coins to catch the perfect storm!!
Btw history has shown that over the years, months or week coins with the best positives(Return on Income ) usually come from the little known coins as these have low liquidity, cheaper to buy and whales will be out to buy such as they will have much control of how these small coins behave.

Right on the surface, that's a pretty dumb statement Vaskiy.

You know what the statement sounds like?

"Diversify for the mere sake of diversifying"

And,

"if you do not know what or how to diversify, then just pick the top 10 because it seems like the top 10 might be a good idea"

 

what a bunch of baloney to proclaim picking the top 10 just makes a lot of sense.

As the market is highly volatile no one is specific on the price movement.

Volatility is a feature rather than a bug..

At least when it comes to bitcoin, and all of the other coins follow king daddy bitcoin, so in the sense that bitcoin is inevitably going to be volatile, then so are the various other coins (top 10 or otherwise) going to be volatile as well - and probably even more volatile than the king.

It all depends on our way of risk management as well as the ability to hold with patience.

Yes.  That's the right assessment to make when it comes to bitcoin, but that same assessment does not apply to the whole top 10 coins, merely because they happen to be next to the king.

In other words, don't get your potentially correct assessment of bitcoin mixed up and then apply that same assessment to shitcoins because it does not work for shitcoins (whether the top 10 or not)... Such assessment only works for bitcoin.. so maybe that's what is causing you confusion to believe that you can make the same assessment that you make for bitcoin to various shitcoins merely because they happen to be in the top 10 or to appear as if they are next to bitcoin, when they are in fact merely garbage and most likely to be affinity scams rather than having any actual fundamental and/or meaningful value.

Most of the time the disappointment with top cryptocurrency holding happens while getting more greedy as well as with situations when we have the plan to be rich in the short term. For this people keep on switching between different assets. For long term profit expectation top 10 cryptocurrency is a best choice, considering the 20k+ cryptocurrencies available in the market.

Consider just focusing on bitcoin rather than getting distracted into nonsense, and then you will become even MOAR smarter.

You are already suffering from the same fallacious "wanna get rich quick" thinking because you seem to believe that "bitcoin is not enough."

The second anybody mentions investing in the top 10 coins , what comes to mind is playing it safe!

Yes.  Your thinking on the topic seems to be as gobbledy-gook and muddied as Vaskiy's. 

Good luck with that lack of focus, when you think that you "are focused" because you are purportedly "playing it safe!".. hahahahahha


You will need it.

The dynamics of each period is different and investing in the top 10 coins is not a rational tactic. If you are new to the market and do not know anything about the market, you can try thisbut this experiment should not be long. My investments that i would make blindly in the market for many years would be Bitcoin and Ethereum. If you had started investing when Ethereum was not in the top 10, your life would have changed completely. I mean if you find and invest in a coin with a dazzling project and action, with a good team and a solid plan, apart from the top 10 coins your life can change in the coming years. The top 10 coins in the years 2015-2017-2021 are as in the image. If you had invested in the top 10 coins in 2015, your profit would probably have been less than your loss. If you want to dive into the top 10 now stay of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

[rhodelmabanal]

I think it is a very good tactic than holding a coin that is new and not listed on CMC or in coingecko, CMC is a very good apps to track a coiin to know the records the marketcap etc., So if we are buying a top 10 listed coin CMC that is more secure than a new coin but still we need to take care because many coins are deleted on cmc for some reason always DYOR.

TOP 10 altcoins such as Doge, Ethereum, Ripple, Polygon, Solana, and Binance already have very high ROI,
and the possibility of dumping is far greater than other altcoins, moreover some of the top 10 altcoins like Solana, Ripple and Binance are having problems,
and marketcap is also likely to go down and cause a dump on the altcoin, so choosing with DYOR and wisely is important.

That depends if the new project start from over valuated marketcap or not. i've seem many projects only coming down from their starting valuation like ICP . People somehow keep investing to projects that have too high cap from the start. They are never going to learn.

Playing safe has a whole new meaning in crypto. Anyone who comes from tradtional markets doesn't see any of this as "safe". Maybe after another 10 years people will see this field as fairly normal and mature coins as "safe", or we are living the last golden days of crypto and this will be all over somehow.

[pawel7777]

Not sure what do you mean by this. Whether the RoI is high (or positive) would depend on the point of entry. If you bought at ath your RoI will be negative and definitely not "very high". I think you meant that they've already achieved high market caps.

and the possibility of dumping is far greater than other altcoins,

How so? Why exactly is the risk greater than for other altcoins (which is a very broad term and includes coins literally created for a pump-and-dump purpose)?

In the current situation, I think the word "DYOR" is too much of a last resort to make things that are actually risky seem normal.
For example, when in Shitcoin and getting instant profits there we always say that it is a very good thing when following the hype and maximizing profits there but on the other hand when we are trapped in that, of course the same reason continues to repeat itself and is considered normal because of the word "DYOR".
Even if it does say that as a reminder that we should research further but that doesn't mean it can be used for all conditions I think.
Being in shitcoin many times and continuing to fail as if everything is okay because of DYOR I think it really becomes a condition where everything seems to repeat itself and those who do it never understand and learn further that being there only costs time, energy and money. The high expectation of the shitcoin pump sometimes always blinds the eyes that something like this even though I wouldn't say this is wrong but I think it's a little bit inappropriate.

This situation is directly proportional to the expectation of the person. How many x can a coin that has entered the top 10 and proven itself can do in total. If a certain amount of increase is enough for the investor and does not want to take too much risk, he may prefer these coins. Such investors can split their money to buy certain coins. I give an example; Let them allocate 60% of their money for the top 10 coins, and the remaining 40% for lower ranks or new projects. I think it makes more sense this way. Every investor should act with their own decisions, so I don't think I will buy all the top 10 coins directly.

In order to catch large increases, as you said, the coins after the first 100 can also be looked at.

You seem to be so close o48o - yet also so far.

The safest asset in "crypto" is bitcoin.. there is nothing even close - even though various shitcoins might pump and dump around the price of bitcoin, there are no fundamentals to give the various shitcoins value beyond how they are pumping around bitcoin and how they are tied to bitcoin, even if they might have some short-term periods in which they pump more than bitcoin...

And the other thing is that you are likely correct that people who have traditional wealth are struggling to figure out where to place various aspects of their value, whether it is in equities, property, commodities, bonds (and cashlike products) and crypto.. and within the classification of crypto, there is likley no need to go beyond bitcoin .. even though surely there are folks who want to diversify for the mere sake of diversification and they might believe that there could be some value to diversify in within crypto when there is no real need to go through such additional diversification since bitcoin already captures the space and already provides whatever possible (and likely) lack of correlation to those other markets - even when a lot of people get confused in regards to the extent to which bitcoin is correlated to those other markets or not, which largely seems to be a failure to zoom out and a failure to understand bitcoin.. ..

So maybe there could be some smart people who might figure out ways that value might come from diversifying beyond bitcoin within the crypto space, and likely they would have just gotten lucky rather than really seeing where the value is at and where you want to put your wealth (at least the crypto portion of your investment portfolio) which is likely almost exclusively into bitcoin - except maybe some small ventures into some other shitcoins that might be seen as a kind of outlier possibility.. and may or may not be in the top 10 of coins if there might be some ways that they might be considered to be something to include whether on a shorter time line or maybe even a longer timeline. .

....but it would likely best to be quite judicious in terms of making choices beyond bitcoin and for sure there are some interesting attacks going on in recent times that contribute to quite a bit of uncertainty regarding more banks to go down or even more banking relations (whether in bitcoin or crypt) or even delisting of coins on exchanges that could cause exchanges to shut down or to relocate or even to rug pull users during these kinds of times... so of the outcomes could relate to things that might actually happen, but sometimes there can be contagion and snowballing that merely comes from things that are thought could happen.

The high expectation of the shitcoin pump sometimes always blinds the eyes that something like this even though I wouldn't say this is wrong but I think it's a little bit inappropriate.

DYOR should translate into figure out bitcoin your bitcoin strategy first before even considering investing into shitcoins, and if you invest into any shitcoin, be really sparing in regards to the shitcoin(s) that you choose.. and perhaps some DYOR might help, to the extent that pumpamentals can even be figured out - if anyone is investing based on pumpamentals.. or if they come to the conclusion that some kind of a shitcoin has long term staying power and they have a possible long term investment into that shitcoin based on its ability to have long term staying power, and yeah if a lot of shitcoins are being invested into, then surely it might not be possible (or easy, or practical) to DYOR on each of the coins, so we likely realize that people are not really engaging in DYOR... especially if they have not even figured out bitcoin first, because if they figure out bitcoin first, they may well realize that they do not need to DYOR on various scam projects that are in the space (whether in the top 10 or further down the CMC list of shitcoins).

Oh gawd.. lots of dilution in your various proposed possible strategies there eightdots.  Sounds pretty dumb to go beyond buying one or two coins, besides bitcoin, but hey whatever, normies have their theories and their ways to make sure that they ensure that they continue to persist in their condition of having fun staying poor.

When talking of investment sometimes I sees it to be as something we don't really planned for it but rather wanting to invest since the news around keeps flying coin z is doing well so people who are easily attracts with much profits would eventually dive into without taking an appropriate measure or to determines if they could bear the lost when the investment turned against.

Sometimes we can classify investment to be a 50/50 game because you and I might not foresee the future of the project but we are only and always optimistic of being positive that something good would come out of the project, and if it happens that it doesn't go according to how we planned and predicted possibly ran into lose then the slogan of "DYOR" takes effects without knowing and people thinking that something like this is inevitable and may happened to anyone out there.

Psychology of you (me) making profits in any investment is so uncertain why because you don't have a vision eyes to see the next hour or what tells about the next person in singular relation to what they may harness whatever they have ventured into as investment.
usually, when it goes in a wrong way people might think and thought one is lagging behind what it should know about related project or coin they have decided to venture into as called of investment, that is why as for me when passing info or conveying some information to any relatives the first thing that usually usher from me is bitcoin is the best alternatives but investing in altcoin is not secured and guaranteed for any reason so, chose wisely and do not let others known about your failures.

I have came to witnessed those who are being moved and controlled by hype and over washed media influencers who are eagerly there attract investors probably being paid for such silly acts without knowing that newly investors are entrapped for a self gain and profits to increased maximization of wide spread of the project to hit the targeted audience. The better people start thinking straight about altcoin and shitcoin the better they stopped making losses but what happened is that, people never cease to share good testimonies about project why because they are fortunate enough to have gotten the information on time to have invested before others that's why those who invested lately are always a victim of leaving empty token them while some people calls it lost of investment that always results "DYOR".
