Existing/established altcoins or new ones?

[kentrolla]

Will it be the existing altcoins or the new ones which will give more profits? I mean would you go with coins like SOL, INJ, ETH and BNB or some recent projects like JUP, BONK for upcoming bull run?

People usually prefer established coins due to stability and it's reputation, but ther are se of people who rather prefer new coins because the profit margins in new coins are higher than the established ones.

Which one would you prefer and please name the coins as well.

To be honest, i recently traded shitcoins and made way more profits than I did with established coins 
Maybe I was just lucky, but the truth is there is also a huge risk as they dump so bad if your timing is bad. We are talking about 90% dump in a day or two. This is impossible with established coins

To me

Long term -- Established coins
Short term -- You can do new coins/tokens too, but be very careful and get out as soon as you get good profit. Do not be so greedy.

[ajiz138]

You may be able to see that existing altcoins provide long term profits while new altcoins provide short term profits, I did several times on new altcoins that are really profitable regardless of the decline there will always be not as long as new altcoins are profitable.

Principles about new altcoins.
So many new altcoins come to the market you may be able to take advantage of early purchases, this is also whether it is hype or not, don't forget that the risk of new altcoins is greater than old altcoins.

Old altcoins such as those you mentioned SOL, ETH and INJ provide opportunities for stability in the market rather than new altcoins that are still much in doubt.

[nelson4lov]

In any bull run, newer tokens tend to make the biggest moves while older altcoins tend to lag behind a bit. They still move just not as much as newer tokens. I would say that it entirely depends on the individual — whether or not they are open to take biggest risks in newer altcoins with the possibility of earning bigger rewards if their "bets" on these newer tokens turned out to be right.

So my take is this:

• Bull run? Increase risk tolerance and chose new tokens from a good enough project with reputable team.
• Bear trend? Reduce risks by diversifying into established coins than their newer counterparts.

[hugeblack]

There is supposed to be a balance according to your risk management. If we say that most of the investment will be in Bitcoin and the next percentage in Ethereum, then investing in currencies such as SOL and INJ may not be appropriate currently due to the rise in their prices and the need for correction, but if their price decreases, I think that some may buy. The new projects that I researched are better than the traditional projects that reached ATH.

People prefer already established coins because they feel safe to invest in them. Nowadays due to inflation people are very much worried about their investments. They want less but guaranteed profits that's why they prefer to Invest in already trusted altcoins.

People who have some cents spared and they are willing to take a bet, they prefer new coins mostly. They don't care about the risk factor to that extent. Some projects give them good profits and if not they take out their investments with a small loss.

I would prefer both as I would like to diversify my portfolio. If I am looking for good profit from the market I would allocate funds accordingly depending on the hype, the narrative and what is trending. I know it is not that easy to do it but for good profit a little bid of hard work and a lot of smart work is required.

[JeffBrad12]

it depends though, if the established or existing coin is as good as bitcoin and ethereum you won't go wrong with these as an investment but if its a coin that just decreasing in term of popularity your investment might go to waste.
but the thing is that the coin you mentioned SOL, INJ, ETH and BNB is completely different if compared with the other ones that you mentioned like JUP and BONK. when we are talking about coin like SOL, INJ, ETH and so on they are blockchain coin, they have utility to be used as a gas for the blockchain therefore the demand itself different, usually these coin also long lasting and could achieve really high market cap even though the other also can but these blockchain coin usually always long lasting its completely different with dapps coin like JUP or even meme coin like BONK so its not fair comparison, but coming back to the question again, if the newer coin seems prospective and the existing coin doesn't seem interesting i will go with new coins.
just because the inflow of investment is a lot much higher if compared with the existing coin that sometime just stuck and even worse, losing market cap as the time goes.

This has been my experience as well. I wouldn't ever recommend people doing it, but i made most of my money with lowcap shitcoins that have died already. And i perfectly well realize i was lucky and opposite outcome was equally possible. But if they ask for advice, i either say i don't know, or point them to SOL, ETH and some other high marketcap coins.

And when ever they say that they found some dogeinuturdfrankzappacoin thats "cheap" and ask if that's a good choice for short term trade, I will just roll my eyes and say i really have no idea. And add that that they are probably losing all their money by playing with those. Just the fact that they had to ask is a strong indicator of a bad idea.

But if i give an advice on shitcoins, i say not to put too much money on it and think of it as a slot machine, or a crash game, which is actually a perfect example for trading shitcoins. Only difference being that it's harder to lose 100% of the money with one crash. But that happens as well.

I am not even try to pitch anything about real world usage for some coins, as i don't really believe in that myself anymore.

[rodskee]

for us who have been here for many years now I guess we already have stand
that either the safest but slowly profiting or the riskier but big time earning.

Oldschool - project are safer but we knew that its giving us small profit each
time not unless its bull market  already.

Newproject - are those who can generate multiple times from our capital but
the problem is that they are the riskier one that mostly turns into scamming and
we can only find small part of legitimacy.

I would prefer both as I would like to diversify my portfolio. If I am looking for good profit from the market I would allocate funds accordingly depending on the hype, the narrative and what is trending.

Practical way mate, why need to choose one when we can choose them all righ?

Long term -- Established coins
Short term -- You can do new coins/tokens too, but be very careful and get out as soon as you get good profit. Do not be so greedy.

I would even go further and say:

Long term (more than 3-4 years): Bitcoin or at most Ethereum.

Even coins of the "second row" like Solana and BNB were beaten by Bitcoin when it comes to 4-year performance. Ethereum didn't still reach its 2021 ATH. And there are even relatively few coins which manage to be in the top 30 for more than 2 cycles (stablecoins aside).

Alternatively, security tokens which are run by companies not focussed in the crypto sector (e.g. gaming) could become an alternative in the future.

I would also add another category:

Mid-term: established coins of the second tier (e.g. Solana)

These are coins you may want to buy in the crypto winter when they usually lose more than 90%, and hold until the point of maximum FOMO.

• Bull run? Increase risk tolerance and chose new tokens from a good enough project with reputable team.
• Bear trend? Reduce risks by diversifying into established coins than their newer counterparts.

I do not fully agree here. Yes, in a bear market I would definitely go out of altcoins which had phenomenal growth in the last bull market, for example meme coins, risky ICOs and so on.

But just in bear markets there can be very new projects emerging which may beat the market better than the established coins. These projects have to be either 1) totally new, i.e. created after the last bull market ended, or 2) created before, but still weren't discovered by altcoin speculation. An example is Kaspa which afaik was created in the very last stage of 2021s bull run but was able to grow quite well in 2022, and then exploded in the 2023/24 bull market.

Yep, I agree. Recently I also experienced this, sometimes trading with new coins is good because there's no yet any basis on how high it could go or how low it could dump. It's like price discovery.
But since you are afraid here, sometimes you are betting less then sometimes it is more performer than other pair you put larger amount.

[Sebas.tian]

Based on what is happening in the cryptocurrency market and the position of all the cryptocurrencies, I think I will prefer to establish Ethereum and Solana if there is an opportunity to establish two coin because the coins has performed well in this season, and it will still going to perform better in the future. The reason why I don't like to embrace new projects in the market is because I don't know how strong they are in the market and what they can offer in the nearest futur, but the old projects I know very well and how strong the teams behind them are and it gives me boldness to go ahead to invest in that particular project. Since there is still bullish season, it will be favourable if you can wait to allow the price of Ethereum to decrease to $2000 before you can purchase and hold because the price will definitely reach $10,000 next two years.

[Webetcoins]

I think it depends, some old and established projects are doing great, no doubt about that, and when you think about the security of your funds along with the potential profits you might get, you will think of investing in those established ones without a second thought. However, many of the newly launched cryptocurrencies have great potential as well, I'm not referring to meme coins because they are not normal cryptocurrencies but others such as JUP, ETHFI, AXL, PORTAL, etc.

I don't usually invest a lot in altcoins but when I do, I make sure that I do enough research to find out which coins have been performing well lately and then I check the projects behind them to find out whether the performance can be managed in the long run or it's just because of hype.

I've got the established and existing ones. But I am trying to decide and look for the new ones and will try my luck with some couple of bucks investing to it hoping that I'll get a profit.

People usually prefer established coins due to stability and it's reputation, but ther are se of people who rather prefer new coins because the profit margins in new coins are higher than the established ones.

Which one would you prefer and please name the coins as well.

That's true, most of us prefer to go with the established ones because they've got names. And that is our nature as investors to be sure where we're putting our money. We want to see every single cent that we invest to be in the right project that could grow the value of our money.

Yes that's the ideal way because it's like choosing between average profit with security which is established coins and higher profit with higher risk without security which is new coins so it's advisable to do a through research about everything right from their team to partners and previous works and whitepaper. I think we need to give a try to new coins as well but not the entire portfolio but rather 10% or 20%.

[kawetsriyanto]

It depends on the goal. For the long term investment, I prefer to hold established altcoins because it will be quite safe to a long time. Moreover, if the altcoins have been proven to always continue the development. It is a good reason to hold the altcoins for a long time. But if the altcoins have bad issues, I recommend to avoid holding for a long time. It is too risky if the altcoins can be delisted from the exchanges. However, for a short term holding, it is no problem to buy new altcoins. But make sure they are potential altcoins, we don't buy random new altcoins!

[X-ray]

Will it be the existing altcoins or the new ones which will give more profits? I mean would you go with coins like SOL, INJ, ETH and BNB or some recent projects like JUP, BONK for upcoming bull run?

I will go for the new one. The existing altcoins are not getting hyped and this is a key to make you a lot of money. FYI, the money was always jumping from one token to the another token depending on the hype. Look at so many new meme tokens that keep reached higher ATH. it means that if money was always rotating.

I have old tokens and the performance from this token is not impressive compared to the new token. I made 10x in less than three months from SEI while my old investment gave 3x. SEI keeps break new ATH while my old token get stuck.

People usually prefer established coins due to stability and it's reputation, but ther are se of people who rather prefer new coins because the profit margins in new coins are higher than the established ones.

Not really. People used the established coin like ethereum to get more benefit like stake it to get airdrop or retro drop. They will lost nothing and get free money from their staking. This is the advantage owning the stable coin like eth.

Which one would you prefer and please name the coins as well.

SEI, SUI and many more.

[Mate2237]

Those top 5 altcoins you mentioned are not moving in the bull market that is going on. And I don't know if they have their own bull market to run. Although Ethereum hit it All Time High as the rate of $4,6+k before coming down. But their movement is like a millipede. Therefore I will prefer you to invest on new projects or up coming project to make profit because has the purchasing power is low when the price hit the highest rate and you have already gotten some in your wallet then you make cool money from them than waiting for those old coins to rise again in the years to come.

But investing in new projects has a high risk than the old projects because the new projects can collapsed while the old ones have established and it is stable now. So there is an assurance that it will rise one day.

[Sophokles]

It depends on various factors, as all the established projects are not good for investment anymore and all the new projects are not safe either. If you are thinking about investing in old major alts like LTC, BCH, ETC, EOS then i wanted to tell you, wait, there are better alternatives than this. Also, if you are thinking about investing in a new project, you need to check the team behind the project, their roadmap, their backers, and why this project is necessary in the market. An investor should be careful when he wants to choose a project to invest in, as all of them won't give profit.
