Are new altcoins being too risky? Current market trend

Please share your opinion.

That a coin/token is top on the list doesn't mean it can't still disappear into thin air overnight. That shouldn't be a yardstick for picking a project to invest in. Well, maybe in the past so many of us thought it was the needed pointer but recent events over the past few years have proved that to be wrong. It's not a yardstick any more. Apart from Bitcoin, ETH, XRP (Nee Ripple), Dogecoin and Litecoin, other coins currently on the top 20 on the list weren't even there seven years ago. Most of those on the list then have either collapsed or are now not favourable investment picks any more as they've lost steam and are nowhere close to the top today.

On general, crypto investment is risky; whether with old coins or new ones they're all risky. Bitcoin isn't exempted from that risk too. The one advantage Bitcoin has over others is its ability to recover whatever dump it suffers during bear rally. Other coins may not survive the bad moment.

Completely aligned with your opinion, as we have seen some of the altcoins which were forecasted as the future like FTX, LUNA, Celsius & etc just shattered the life and investment of thousands of investors it became evident and yes Bitcoin is no exception but as you rightly mentioned it has ability to recover the previous dump and reach new ATH post bear run but patience is the key here since users especially newbie tends to sell everything due to FUDS and sometimes situation pushes the experts as well due to financial circumstances to sell at bear. In short I would says it's better to invest in top coins than random shitcoins.

When it comes to investment then there's always an accompanied risks on which it would really be just that so common that there would be projects or new coins that flies out when it comes to value and

there are ones who do kiss up the floor directly after a few hours or days that it had been launched. It all matters with the demand and if we cant able to see up these things then expect about failure.
The main reason on why people do really keeps on trying out to get enter with those cheap prices or on the time that the project is just starting up is that they would be able to get in into those cheaper prices on which it could potentially give out that kind of moment on where they could really get that enormous profits on the time that the project do make out some pump.Market is never been safe since from the beginning on which it is really just that right that you should really be minding about risks management approach on the time that you would be dealing or engaging with it.

investing in coins with market capitalization only good for long term i guess.
so many are just vanishing into thin air after their first appearance, they usually have short term bullrun and after its done, they'd just plummeted until they eventually got delisted.
its just the truth with most of the altcoins, even the slightest market movement and some series of correction already puts them in difficult position beyond any saving.
the point being if you are eager to invest long term as you said, only invest in more established coin for the sake of long term returns and not vanishing into thin air along the way of your investments.

I am active again after a while and a lot has changed but the apathy of tier two altcoins remains same and it's absolute sham because most of the tier two altcoins have hit rockbottom and to a point of no return and some trusted coins like LUNA, FTX, Celsius, and BlockFI etc where people have lost their life long savings and on the other hand we have tokens like Solano, XRP, XLM, BNB, ADA and Matic who are heading on path of recovery. It's clear that you go with top altcoins (even this involves risk like fate of LUNA, FTX, etc) though there are slight risk of losing but probability of losing everything is even more in other altcoins whose prices are dipped within few seconds after their launch. It's better to invest in established coins rather than newbies.

If you are interested in altcoins then there is little doubt that if you want to reduce the risk you are taking then you need to invest in the top altcoins in the market.

However it is very important to be very clear about this, this strategy only reduces the chances you can suffer huge losses, but it does not eliminate them completely, as there have been several cases already of coins that got to the top 10 and they simply collapsed at some point.

Just remind you if the risk will always be there. It doesn't even matter how good or bad the reputation of coin. The risk will always be there. Sometimes investing in the low cap coin is not that bad compared with big cap coin.
As long as you do know the fundmental of new coin and you can identify whether that coin is good or bad for you. It's not all of new coins were bad. Some coins were backed by some big names like binance, coinbase, etc considerably as good coins.

We must know how good the fundamental owned by the coin first. It will not be useless if you were judging the new coin without even try to analyze to know how good the fundemntal of coin itself.

Many altcoins are risky at this time and stay away from meme coin in particular. There are many old projects which were once dead but they are now waking up because they want to get investors from the bull market. But all these projects can lead to loss of your capital. They want to enter the bull market to sales supply them and later they will flee the market.

most of the projects that have died before, and trying to wake up again usually always ended up dying again.
investors nowadays are smart enough to avoid some of the projects that have bad history of failures.
nowadays i think its the emerging altcoins thats massive, and the good quality coins out there, don't necessarily requires us to invest, instead they have something called retroactive airdrop in which trying to make people interact with their blockchain and get rewarded accordingly. though indeed they might have some fundraising through platform like binance and the likes, but they are legit, since they have been reviewed by some big platforms.

actually there is almost no changes since you have rested, and actually it is getting worst as there are big scams happened recently.
meaning that your question is completely answered and that is we are safe in old and stablished projects or meaning the top currency , they might not fast moving but at least assurance is there not life super risky new projects.

The better term for what others are doing, that invests in new altcoins and expects a significant return, is gambling. They are just risking their money and want to have that return.

I think the initial launch gets the price dipped because of the people selling it. I think it's pretty much expected because many people who have invested in something want to get that initial return that they want and probably will not HODL for a long time. It's expected for those short-term investors.

As for the long term, that's another risk that you can take but as long as you have the right mindset, you can really focus on just letting it be and possibly having that "chance" to earn/profit.

Indeed. Many altcoins are launching everyday but only few of them can last long for having a real use case and not just a pump and dump coin. The reason why it's really risky to invest in new coins since you need to conduct an extensive research to find a hidden gem out of thousand alts existing.

Therefore if you're looking for alts to invest in, it is advisable to choose an established coins. Less risky and proven to be worthy even it takes months or years before you can see the result. Though often, alts are only good to hold for short period.

Not being able to accurately predict the popularity of a project or coin does not guarantee that it will last forever or be free of problems.

There are many factors that can affect the popularity and survival of a cryptocurrency project or coin. As you mentioned, there are unexpected situations that even experienced people cannot predict in advance. This makes investing riskier and more complicated.

If you want to minimize risk, choosing top altcoins or class 1 coins can be a good strategy. But remember that no investment is completely risk-free. The cryptocurrency market has always had uncontrollable factors, and it is very important to remain vigilant and manage risks.

[jasonjm]

The majority of new altcoins are risky. Some altcoins look very promising but we don't know about their fate in the long run. It is always better to invest in established coins backed by innovation. They have chances to survive the future trends. To safeguard your investment you should invest in BTC and ETH for the long term.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Of course they are risky. We know the traumas on Altcoins in the past, FTX, LUNA, these have created big crises in the crypto market. Coins such as BNB, ETH, or the coins you mentioned, which we know as solid altcoins, are going through the recovery process, of course, depending on bitcoin. When the market trend reoccurs, I can say that I am hopeful for alt coins, but even solid coins are just as risky.

Of course, it is safer to invest in time-tested altcoins. But you do understand that you will not get super profits by investing in such coins. But by investing in new coins, you can theoretically get a super profit and this is what attracts the investor. But such an opportunity to get a super profit is offset by the possibility of a complete loss of the deposit.

[asriloni]

Crypto will always be risky. It doesn't even matter whether that's new or old altcoins. The key was on yourself. As long as you are aware about how to identify the project properly and you can avoid the scam token.

did you remember luna or even celsius? those old coins have been scamming bunch of people. I think that it depends on how luck you are. Remember always try to be careful with your money.

Investing in the big coins much more safer but it doesn't guarantee your money will be safe. Remember this.

This is also my principle after investing in the failed altcoin investments of mine.

It's safer and more peace of mind because they won't just dump too quickly. Though the tendency is always there, let's just say that the chance is lesser.

So, it's about security and profitability when both of them can be present to a project then you have to choose that.

[Wiwo]

At most there is no difference between newer projects and ponzi schemes since most of this is in that category but just branded themselves as crypto projects, and most of the shit coins are all layer two which has opened up a new cane of worms to the already depreciating and highly risky altcoin market and this is not something that one should take lightly and before you chose any altcoin as an investment choice, you need to do in-depth research and rely heavily on luck to be able to choose the right one that can at least perform in the market to the extent to be able to give you a good return on investment.

Avoiding scam exit potental projects like LUNA and the rest of them, it measures much as to what level our confidence will be going for and at that, we all must be sceptical of our choices of projects.

[Jocuserious]

The current market trend is very cool because now many new projects are getting success in their token sale besides they are getting good investors from ido. Where you will go in the future is different from what you think now because you need to be a smart investor by involving yourself with the crypto market. Any time you need to invest and for that you need to have a lot of experience. So there is a misconception that you always want to take advantage of the bull market.

Many of those that invest in new coins at the moment believe themselves to be incredibly smart and they think that people like us are too conservative, what they do not understand is that we were on their shoes before and we have experimented some losses already, which is what caused us to become more conservative.

And despite our efforts to open their eyes so they do not have to go through the same experiences they refuse to listen, and they will only understand why we take the decisions that we take once they suffer losses by investing in those new projects as well.

[Yamifoud]

It is too risky - that is the reality. Why? Many altcoins had risen today that are no use case, no market value, and no direction. How could we trust them and invest our money if the majority are created for that? Of course, I'd choose to ignore them and just invest in those projects that we know that they have profit potential.

In this current situation, we need to be wise and must know how to evaluate a particular project because not all projects that have a promising look will also have a promising ends, sometimes it turn a scam.

Unfortunately that has been the case for a while now and a lot of people end up not being entirely sure about what they should be doing. I understand that we are at a confusing period and not everyone knows what they should be doing, but that's going to be the most important thing.

I believe that we are going to end up with some changes in the end and we could potentially make it work one way or another when we figure out a good strategy but that may take some time. We are still not in the bull run, but when that time comes we should be ready for it and in order to be ready for it we should be studying old bull runs and see what should be done, that will help us a lot on the long run to be ready for the next bull run.
