Between new tokens and old tokens, which would you invest into?

[ultrloa]

The bull market is approaching and after that, the altcoin season will start as it has done in other bullish time for the market. Everyone has to be planning for what they'll buying in preparation for the bull run therefore I have a question for everyone. What altcoins will you be buying in preparation for the altcoin season if you only have limited option to choose between investing in old tokens, projects that were launched before or during last bull market or tokens that were launched between last year, this year and the next year. Let assume you only have $1000 and you can put this money in 1-5 projects but they all have to be either old tokens or new tokens that you'll be buying. Which one will you go for, for those that will think they can choose the two type of projects, that won't be possible. I'm trying to see where the attention of investors go when selecting tokens to invest into for the altcoin season.

I know where you are going with that question, but it is never as simple as you seem to imply, you need to pick good coins, whether those coins were released recently or are coins which have been around for a long time should not be a factor at all.

However if you are simply speculating and you are planning to buy meme coins and other similar coins with no real reason to exist, then it seems a better idea to buy new coins, since it is very rare for old meme coins to skyrocket.

They should look the way how community support the coin since they can determine if there's good future for this coin also if they are following to what they have promise to their community like creating something useful or can contribute for their token or coin to grow since for that we can say that there's something good to happen with these projects.

Also it doesn't mean the old coin is more advisable to have since they are common reliable coin and automatically can give profit to them since sometimes there are scenario that price drop so bad and its dev didn't do anything just to create a new hype for their token. Also usually huge profit are in new coins since the pump usually go more higher than we expect but we make sure to invest on the project which ahs been on list as one of the top hot altcoins for this year since this gives us more higher chance to gain some good profits by trying to invest for short time period. But we need to know the risk is so high so we should never do any uncontrolled accumulation then do wrong decision to hold so that we will not encounter any losing and became a bag holder of those tokens.

Everyone has their own opinion in choosing a coin to hold on to during the bull run, I personally prefer to keep old coins that have definitely gone through ups and downs.
New tokens are only for momentary profit, not for investment

You are on point, we have our choices and preferences, and the way we follow these coins and tokens varies and matters a lot. As for me, old and new projects are always good, it depends on the particular ones we are talking about. You can see the recently launched $DYM, what a beautiful project. Though I missed out due to my laxity, I didn't just know why I never took it seriously despite seeing the price at about $2.3. It nevertheless moved to over $8 in a few days, which means I would have conveniently earned x3 in less than 3 days.

Going forward, I believe this project will continue to make headway, it is a good project, and despite being new, you can see it moving in multiple of its current value in the next 1.5 years from now. There are many other examples I can cite. Is it PENDLE, INJ and many more? It is all about many other factors and not only about old or new projects alone. But in all, I believe that new projects are performing better than most old projects, we should be smart about this.

I won't go for anyone because I don't like to invest token, for me I think it is a risk that is why I won't invest in tokens. Any concerning altcoin I prefer to go for ethereum or BNB,  this are two investment that I'm sure about, that it is safe for me to invest and not going token that are very risky and some can be shitcoins to invest in.

[Wildwest]

If I had to choose one, I would prefer the old altcoin to the new altcoin which doesn't necessarily have potential,
The bull market is getting closer so to prepare for altcoins when the altcoin bullish occurs in the near future I looked at some of the top altcoins on coinmarketcap.
when the halving happens then after that the altcoin season will happen again so I keep ethereum, ADA and Xrp in the wallet.

[MiauKitchen]

I always use two methods, so the story is like this, I will spend money from my trouser pocket to collect the top old altcoins and I do this in stages because it has to be with the right strategy, for example entering at the ideal point. then the second way I will do it is to collect new tokens, but not by buying, but by other means such as participating in events they organize or those we already know such as airdrops and bounty campaigns

but I prefer and like the second way.
I think it's more careful, because we're looking for something free.
but the matter of results cannot be doubted.
because it is also free but we need our skills and perseverance.

If you think before investing it is not right to invest, then you can stay away from investing because you need to be mentally strong to invest, if the cryptocerency market is in a bad state after investing, you can worry too much. But what I think.  Among altcoins you can invest in bnb and eth. I think investing in them is very safe.

If possible, I would diversify old and new projects with that $1000, diversification helps us to maintain the average investment value. But if it has to make a choice between old and new projects, then I will go to the old projects for investment security purposes, new projects have higher volatility than old projects, that's why...

[Yatsan]

New tokens for short term investments and old tokens or major tokens in this industry for long term.  As we all know new tokens especially those which have large token supplies are ones which have volatile market value and tends to fall upon being listed with exchanges but not with certainty, everything will still depend with the hype a coin will be having on its introduction with the market. Likewise with old tokens, not all old tokens are having quite of a good market price movements. So if it is with choosing where to invest, depends still on the project. For sure you won't always be into long term or to shorties alone and with consistency. It will still depend on the situation. Perhaps at this moment wherein Bitcoin is in hype as well as with meme tokens for some reasons. You can always ride the tide if you would want to.

It doesn't matter if a coin is a new cat or an old cat, what matters is unique features they want to give to the crypto community that has never been there before. If what they want to offer is good enough with better funding, many people will move their because what keeps a project for long term is proper funding, even the people that hold the old coins move their just so not to miss the opportunity there. You have to be careful though, not all coins do well sometimes even after proper research on them.

If you have much money to spare, I will say it's better to put in some money in projects that has tested bear market and were able to survive the turbulence despite the hard times, the whales visit these coins when there is bull run and you don't know when they make moves. Anytime you notice they have been pumped, that's the best time to moved out with decent profits, don't get cuagt by the hype.of it making new all time high, often they don't reach 50% of the previous time high.

[Nikita2024]

I think that better to buy old coins because they are check by the time and you know how good they are and how they continue to develop.

If you buy coins to just have them lying around in your wallet, it is much easier and more profitable to buy bitcoin. It will bring more profit. I can still understand if a person buys old coins for trading or staking. It is with new coins that one can earn quickly and a lot. Yes, there is a certain risk, but do not forget that all cryptocurrency is one continuous risk.

1000 dollars seems an amount that is too small to try to diversify your investments, after all converting your bitcoin or your fiat to those tokens and then send them out of the exchange will cost you money, and the more coins you bought the higher the costs.

Also, the OP seems to want to obtain as much profits as possible, and diversification is an investment technique designed to protect you from risk, which may end up reducing significantly the amount of money you could earn, by not concentrating that amount of money in a small amount of coins.

[Roland_King]

You can invest old and new coins at equal rate if you want.  If I invest I will invest in old coins, there are a few reasons.  Old coin security is better than new coin (But keep in mind that old and new coins have risks.).  Old coins have more resources to research than new coins.

The size of the money depends on a personal perspective, in fact $1000 is a small amount for diversification, but because the OP gave an assumption of $1000, I also made an example with the same amount. I know what you mean here, but try looking at OP's profile, he's just a Jr. Member, I just don't want to destroy his hopes by investing in new tokens without diversifying, I think that the diversification he does will help him to be protected from higher fluctuations from new tokens with low MC.

Which one will you go for, for those that will think they can choose the two type of projects, that won't be possible. I'm trying to see where the attention of investors go when selecting tokens to invest into for the altcoin season.

Ideally, I would not want to invest in either old or new tokens. For me, it's like trying to choose which shit is better: dog or cat.

But since you pose the question this way, I would prefer (hypothetically) to invest in new tokens, because the effect of novelty will influence investor interest and these projects can make a short-term profit due to the hype on them. Old tokens look like slowly dying projects that are no longer interesting to anyone and will not be able to cause the excitement that was at their start.

[Dr.Osh]

If I had to choose one, I would prefer the old altcoin to the new altcoin which doesn't necessarily have potential,

Well, there are always pluses and minuses to old and new projects. Until now, there have been many new projects emerging because up to now, there are still quite a lot of projects that provide profits for investors, even though the risks are very large.
However, on the other hand, if you want the long term, then I also prefer old projects or projects that are popular because the development is quite good and has a high level of trust. In fact, it would be better to choose bitcoin, but quite a lot of people don't want to keep everything in one basket.

[Hypnosis00]

New and Old tokens, many of them are worthless so we need to be more careful and must do deep research as much as possible. We have to consider these things...
 - use case
 - roadmap
 - transparency
 - team developers

There are a lot of things to look at which is why we don't need to rush but must need to do further research and verifications. However, it never erases the possibility that a project will turn into a scam because many projects have a good start and look very promising but in the end, they are just gone like Tera Luna. This is why it would be best and safe to focus on known projects already rather than trying new ones so we could have at least some profit assurance.

Re: Between new tokens and old tokens, which would you invest into?

Over the years, I've always thought that investing in old tokens is the way for me since I'm more of a conservative investor, and I don't have that much money to lose. For many years, I'm investing into the top tokens because in that way, I feel much safer, and the risk is lower though I know that the rewards are lower as well.

Now, I tried to increase the risk, and invest in new tokens such as Celestia (relatively new) and Dymension (just launched a few weeks ago) because I did research on them, and I believe that the technology behind the project will flourish for the next years to come. Of course, there will be new tokens that will be launching over the months now that many are expecting the bull market to happen, but I don't have that much time to do research as well.

Anyway, the risks of investing in new tokens and old tokens are very different. Older = more established hence, less risky, and vice-versa. At the end of the day, it will all depend if you're willing to make risky moves and invest in new projects. As for me, I'm kind of balancing it. Investing into old tokens, while putting some of my money into new tokens (but it's a low amount).

[Strongkored]

In my opinion, for bigger profits, new tokens can provide unexpected profits, while old tokens can still provide profits, but not as big as if we can find a good new token.
However, it will really depend on our ability to bear losses, usually risk takers will choose new tokens but those who are calmer will choose old tokens even though sometimes the price is already high.
The certainty of profit can be calculated. It's just that when we enter the token market is very determining because If we enter the market incorrectly, it is very possible that we will become long term holders because the price has already fallen.

[ultrloa]

I would choose both since sometimes old tokens have slow movements and it cannot give us satisfying profit just like new tokens which they have more potential to get a x1000 raise.
Although its risky to play on new token market but if we have experienced dealing with trading it for sure we will not place in bad condition just like other unexperienced people. But if people don't trust new tokens maybe they should stick on old ones especially if they are not a trader and just want to hold their tokens for long term since this is what they think convenient to them.

There's a lot of scams on new tokens that's why we need to be more aware and be careful on selecting a project so that we will not pick those obvious shit tokens which don't have any chance to get listed on top tier exchange.
