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

[electronicash]

old tokens. the old ones that have been around through good and bad times because you can be assured they will not try to disappear in the bear market.

just thought you should know that there are tokens that launched their blockchain in the bull market but in the bear market they slowly die and then gone. website and social media disappear too. especially the DEFI projects, many of them are gone and only a few good ones survive the bad times.

That is why the product is important. Those with already used product will not easily gone, like if a chain already has some dapp. I also prefer token created by a company, those usually have already good product before entering crypto world

i see what you mean with L1 already having dapps and its ecosystem is already rolling. prices may not go up to mars but yes they will continue to exist because their product proved to be working and there is already community support.

In as much as some times it feels good being a part of a token early stage adoption,it is good to focus to on some old token that has proven to have certain potential although many old token has lost there potentials, being decisive about this could be very difficult but I know is going to vary individually, for me I will chose or focus on old token that I  know there performance recent time, thou there is no guarantee but that is my choice than venturing in to new token that I don't.

you'd better be sure to know the team is capable of doing its job otherwise it will still be a massive failure when get in early to the token development and then later on becomes a scam.

The truth it is that it very risky to invest in tokens, I don't see any difference between old token and the new tokens, they are both very risky for investment.  Some of the tokens we have this days are scam  which I can't take serious or recommend anyone to invest in it. I have always known token as a kind of project that can dissappear and I don't think the new tokens in the market is different from the old tokens of the past.

[|MINER|]

In my personal opinion I think that token is really a disgusting thing for me whether it is new or whether it is old. Actually I have a long history of losing investing in token. I will never suggest any person to invest in token they can select the top coins of altcoin but Token I will say avoid them. I will suggest to invest in bitcoin as much as you can afford for long-term.

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.

If I am asked to invest between new tokens and old tokens, I will definitely focus more on old tokens. Even though I am more exposed to older tokens, the top tokens I will always choose to invest in. For example, I will invest in coins like Ethereum Solana BNB, I will not invest outside of that. But if we go ahead with new coins then of course I will go with the top corners and also go with all the new coins that are in the best exchange and have a lot of popularity and have future plans and I will not go with normal new coins.

If you want to diversify into 5 coins, then I would prefer 90% to old coins. And only 10% for new coins. And this new coin is not for the long term. only for short terms and of course the project is really clear and legit. However, this would be very risky. The point is that you have to be smart in managing the risk on the 10% new coins, because this is tricky, you might actually lose the money.

If it's for old coins, make sure you have Bitcoin, whatever the percentage, but I personally will still consider BTC as the biggest asset that I should have.

Since you say we can’t make a mixed selection then I’d rather sit with old tokens than new tokens. I think my reason is already known because new tokens are more risky than the old ones, especially now that we’re seeing the creation of even more tokens. There is a saying “The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.” And with that I think it’s better to stay with what is known than even the ones that present themselves as too good but are unknown.

[synchronym]

First of all I haven't invested much in alt coin but I've heard of alt coin but unfortunately I've had more trouble investing in alt coin than bitcoin I've never had as much success in alt coin as I have in  so when I invest myself I always  I have more interest in Bitcoin investment. But I wouldn't say that alt coin is not good to invest. Of course many people have found success investing in alt coins. You can certainly employ alt coins if you want. But I think you can reliably invest in old coins of alt coins than new ones. I think investing in new coins is high risk or likely to be a scam. But older alt coins have some reliability so if you can invest in alt coin investment.

you'd better be sure to know the team is capable of doing its job otherwise it will still be a massive failure when get in early to the token development and then later on becomes a scam.

this is important thing to know, there are many old token that still exists that doesn't gain any significant increase in their price whatsoever, simply because the team themselves
failed to deliver what they promised, or at least failed to stick with the roadmap they are trying to follow, there are so many teams like that and as a result their project tanked.
old token being old doesn't mean they are reliable they could just be an abandoned relic or remnant of the past.
basically created for the sake of riding hypes around previous bullrun, gaining its momentum to reach its all time high and then vanish into thin air later on.
i personally favour newer coin better, because usually the team are more committed even more so if the project is having so many community in the discord it means many other people also believe the project could succeeds.

I will be more comfortable with new tokens where volatility is high which will gives profit in short term. If anybody love to invest in old coins then why not just invest in btc because the rate of growth will be almost same in old coins. We prefer to invest in altcoins due to volatility because we want quick profit. New coins is risky and most of users prefer old coins but I think if we do good research and our buying entry is good. Our big mistake happen in buying price. I tooked all previous entry and my profit rate is 8/10. Old coins are for long term while new coins are for short term profit

That is a better approach to staying on the safer side. Some new projects might have great potential when it comes to their future but it's not possible for everyone to evaluate and understand that potential which is the reason why so many investors become victims of newly launched projects that later turn out to be scams and run away with the funds of their investors once they manage to accumulate a good enough sum.
Even though it's true that investments in old projects also don't guarantee profit all the time, it's at least safer because you at least know that the projects and coins have been around for quite some time and they have been performing well or not is all in front of us as we can see their history.

Everything in the cryptocurrency market is risky not just tokens and when it comes to investments generally not just in cryptocurrency but every thing known as investments you need to take a risk to be able to achieve some certain things in life. I don't see anything bad in trying out some investments in old and new tokens who knows the token that will turn out green for you to smile, you don't need to invest with much capital you can take out some spare money to try out a little old and a little new tokens surely some will turn out well for you.

When it comes to investing in alts majority are for the huge profits, I majorly like to do my own research on matters like this, we know investment carries its risk but its not really the best option just make decisions based on old tokens or new tokens, but any way I'll rather invest in old token that I know have done well before than go for new tokens that i have very little experience or knowledge about.

Why most people takes the risk of getting involved with new Altcoins is because of the huge profits they get usually in a shorter time unlike the old Altcoins which will have to be held for long. Going for old ones means you are trying to secure your money invested and it's brightly a good idea instead of dealing with new ones that you are not sure of but few times it really worth the risk only when is done with money you can bare to loss.

I think that people that invest in these tokens already know that, I don't think that they've got in it and have stayed in token investing not learning that it's really risky to invest in it and we probably underestimate some of them too much that we think a lot of them fall for scams in these endeavor but I do believe in the fact that it will also come with experience, the ability to be able to find the right token or the one that's legitimate, and it's not like these people that invest in tokens don't do their research before buying. If you ask me though, which token to invest into is dependent on the factor of what gets you more value because there's some tokens there that's worth your money be it old token or new token, when it comes to considering buying old token, it's a good idea to look whether they've been able to sustain a certain growth in their token and if you see and believe that they didn't arrive at your expectation then you don't buy that old token but me personally, I think that you've got more chances of hitting it big when you buy new tokens because old ones don't have the hype that they used to have compared to the new ones.

That new tokens volatility you’re running to with $1,000 can make you a lot of money but can equally cost you all of the money. If you invest in older tokens or coins, at least you have reduced risk and the likelihood of losing the money isn’t as high. Also, it mustn’t be Bitcoin. There are older tokens/coins that has better growth rate than Bitcoin.

8/10 is not because you are too careful it’s also luck because these days, you don’t even know what’s worth it and what isn’t. You could invest in a new token only to realize it is a scam or it eventually becomes an abandoned project or one problem or the other.

Investing in altcoins is a bit more risky. Before jumping into any coin it is best to do your research about the coins. If you go to a bad project after greed then you will be a victim of fraud. Coins which have a lot of reliability in the market and give good profit no risk should be invested in those coins. New projects are not easily trusted by anyone their reliability is low.

OP, I would definitely go for the old altcoin if I were given a thousand dollars to invest now. I will be buying Solana. I'm going all in there. But if it is compulsory, I should diversify my portfolio. Then I'll go for some old Web 3 coins on binance. Ill buy about 1 BNB, 1 SOL and then spread the remaining into WEB3 coins below $1.

The whole crypto market is a high risky asset class. Its like investing in startup companies share which can failed in a few months or years. Bitcoin and major crypto are relatively safer than new projects, but just think if you invest 1000$ in amazon or Tesla in their early stages. That time, the risk was higher, but if the project became successful, the investor got a huge profit from the project. I don't want to put my whole funds in risky project but a portion of it should be.

[Mehedi72]

Haven't got your last lines. If anyone want to opt diversification and wanna have both type of old and new projects, what's your problem? Why this is impossible? Even it is very wise to Choice old and new projects together. Cause some old projects will be good enough that will help you to make profit. But no matter how good new projects are, you'll always worry about them as you still don't have idea what is going to happened. If anything bad is happened, then profit from old altcoins, could recovery your loss right? Although not all old projects will bring you profit btw.

It's like asking if it's better to invest in old stocks or new stocks — it'll totally depend on which stock(or token, in this case)!

The only advantage of newer tokens is that there's a good chance that it'll have a not-so-shitty chart; whereas most old tokens will likely have a shitty chart. That doesn't mean old tokens can't pump though — take a look at MakerDAO and the like; they haven't reached ATHs, but the bounce looks really good.

You are absolutely correct, I like the way you rephrase the question. Well I don't know if the owner of this thread is indirectly asking for suggestions or advice but whatever maybe the case I think it doesn't matter whether someone choose to invest in old tokens or new tokens, people invest base on the analysis been carried out, what am saying in essence is that no one is better than the other reason because after your analysis if you see that last your token will do better you will go for it and vice versa.
