Be smart with your hardearned money

It's not a news that altcoin will go to zero for 98% of them. Majority of altcoins don't even need to exist but the developers want to extract money so you got some shitty no utilities altcoin.
If that chart includes the meme coin being deployed everyday, I bet the number would be 99.9% of altcoin are going to zero.

Never hold your altcoin, never marry your bag, marry your bitcoin instead because it's where you gonna get your money safe and growing.

Those memecoins don't need to exist honestly their have done a lot bad than good for the entire cryptocurrency market, majority of them have been Chanels for scammers to get away with investors Money with zero interest in building a project as claimed initially when the hype is still very on.

Memecoins continue being a thing only due to greedy investors who think to be too late to invest in Bitcoin. They aren't satisfied with a potential profit of 10% to 100%. They want more. They want their few dollars to turn into something like thousands of dollars overnight. And that is where memecoins come into the scene with such promises of quick wealth without any effort.

Charts like the one OP shared are important to show how dangerous such offers are, as they can melt your funds instantly, without any recovery chance.

Investing in memecoins is the same as gambling money away if the community fails to stay strong. Without a strong community, most memecoins will eventually die. However, we still see some altcoins survive because their communities are strong. People who are attracted to investing in altcoins are mostly looking for quick or big profits, but those profits come at a cost, making altcoins much higher risk compared to Bitcoin. Not being easily tempted by quick profits can help prevent us from throwing our money into these memecoins.

Many developers don't care about solving problems, they want the $$$$ bags.

Should we consider becoming memecoin developers ourselves as a way to generate some income? A lot of people are still actively looking to invest in memecoins  and the demand doesn’t seem to be disappearing anytime soon. If there’s consistent interest and liquidity in that space, it might make sense to explore it strategically whether as a short-term opportunity or as a way to fund other projects rather than just watching others benefit from it.

If you think that you'll make money from being a developer, think of how many investors you need to have to invest into that memecoin.

You'll have to lose your concern about them losing money so that you'll earn from them.

But we're starting to see that people have already enough with memecoins and that's why it's very unlikely, that many will invest in it anymore.

, I advice you have more Bitcoin in your portfolio than having more altcoins, less percentage should be in alts if somehow you like alts, let stocks and Bitcoin takes over the highest percentages of your portfolio because altcoins are too unreliable.

Bro you have done well in speaking up from your experience and what you feel like is the right way forward, but if we are being honest here, you are perfectly right. Alt coin can never be as reliable as Bitcoin, that is why I will only recommend investing in Bitcoin since it's the only reliable asset in this crypto space. Just as you have rightfully spoken about, alt coin falls more than they rise, and doing rug pull on them is very easy this days with the illustration you made by creating a token through AI and hiring an influencer to deceive the community to think that it's the next big thing that may happen, and once they have invested in the token, the biggest investor pulls out his money, and move away with his gains, so Bitcoin should always be of priority just as op has said. But if you are bent on gambling on those alt and meme coin, using like 5% of your discretionary income is the only logical decision, since you wouldn't feel much of the effect financially if things doesn't goes as planned.

I won't say 'altcoin' because that is a general term but you should say 'an altcoin'. Also 98% sounds a lot but there are still a good number of good altcoins too. I think you are right that majority of the altcoins must have no business here whatsoever but this must be the reason on why the meme coins have became a staple category in the cryptocurrency field, thinking an opportunist developer can use this as an excuse to produce their useless coins or tokens in the market. With what I have said earlier that there are also good or safe altcoins, then it is only or also fine to marry our altcoins, just like how we marry our bitcoins with us.

Many altcoins will face a deadly end as we go deep into 2026, I advice you have more Bitcoin in your portfolio than having more altcoins, less percentage should be in alts if somehow you like alts, let stocks and Bitcoin takes over the highest percentages of your portfolio because altcoins are too unreliable.

You are absolutely correct. With the help of AI anybody can create an altcoin in a matter of few minutes.
This has given the rise of altcoins to next level but most of them don't really have any value.
A project needs to have a motive behind it and should be lead by a technical expert and good developers.
But altcoins these days are lead by a single AI prompt engineer creating the coin just for a rug pull.

Altcoins and meme coins, to be exact, are the real gambling we have on the crypto market. If you want to invest in them, you are at high risk of losing all that you have invested. It's not easy to get it back; once it's down, it's down. Only a few survive the first phase. I have always advised anyone going after all these new coins because of the promise they make to be prepared to give in without receiving; only a few lucky people come out with profit.

I am not trying to scare altcoins investors but this graph below should be eye opening for many who bets everything they had on altcoins, coming from someone like me who have lost thousands of dollars to altcoins between 2022 and 2025, I just want to remind you guys that altcoins deserves a lesser space in your entire portfolio than Bitcoin.






Altcoins are down from 70% to 90% and believe me, they can still go down another 90% again, I can see many people saying the altcoins season is coming back soon, I won't say it's impossible but I want you do be ready for the worst.

Years back we never had AI platforms building cryptos in minutes, just like that, it is far more easier to create shit coins then rent some twitter influencers and deceive some followers into thinking that this is the next x100 coin.

Youre right, OG knows this that's why they hardly get caught up. My strategy for the last 2 years is to play smart, accumulate BTC, ETH and exchange tokens like Bgb, BNB due to launchpool and Airdrop opportunities. Over the past couple months I've made like $200-400 from Bitget launchpool. The year just started and I'm already positioned with IMU launchpool, once again putting my Bgb to good use. It's better than looking for quick money cos you'll most likely get burnt

How unwise is it to bet all your money on altcoins? I'm guessing every other user here has lost money on altcoins. If bitcoin is considered a risky asset, then altcoins should be considered risky assets².

What if it's 100%? Just yesterday, I saw a discussion ((https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5571837.msg66307029#msg66307029)) about how half of all altcoins are dead projects, meaning there's a 50% chance of losing 100% of your investment. The numbers aren't exactly encouraging.

Why would altcoin season return when the entire industry is in a downturn?

Years back we never had AI platforms building cryptos in minutes, just like that, it is far more easier to create shit coins then rent some twitter influencers and deceive some followers into thinking that this is the next x100 coin.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many shitcoins.

Don't lump all altcoins together. Established projects with a proven track record can be trustworthy for investment.

Many developers don't care about solving problems, they want the $$$$ bags.

Everyone wants more money.

Also, a solution to a problem may simply not be in demand at the moment, which is why a project with good potential may fail.

[Ishicryptic]

I'm sure that every experienced person in the crypto market understands what you're saying to the fullest, altcoins are very far more risky than Bitcoin so if you're buying altcoins you should know that you are risking your funds. Bitcoin itself is not without risks because if many whales decides to dump on the market at the same time the value of Bitcoin will sink very low but since it's a store of value the chances of that happening is very minimal.

Majority of these altcoins are created to scam inexperienced and greedy investors, the projects are nothing short of Ponzi schemes, when they reach certain levels after investors have gained trust and pumped their money into it, devs will exit and the token will be dead. Next thing they have moved on to another to scam the greedy and ignorants again.

[N9_Ninja]

Hard to disagree with this. Most people underestimate how risky alts really are, especially long-term.

Bitcoin may not give crazy x100 returns, but it has proven itself through multiple cycles. Alts can still work, but only with proper risk management and small allocation.

I think balance matters more than chasing hype.

[wiss19]

This "most alts are dead" thing is a way to just create chaos but not realistic. The reason why we have over ten million failed, is because nearly ten million of them were not even serious attempts at creating something, they were all fake and useless and they were created because some dev wanted to but didn't even became like a thousand dollar market cap, they were all fake.

We need to realize that most of the coins that got even a bit of attention, mostly stays which indicates that investors are too desperate to catch the 2nd ETH or the 2nd bitcoin. So, emphasising them about the importance of hard earned money does not make sense to me at least. I mean, when you are not caring your money, then who else will care?

[Oshio-man]

There are some altcoins you will invest your funds you will not regret base on what you will achieve from them, looking at the team behind the altcoins you will no that you have nothing to worry about when it is time for you to sell, well I know you can't use bitcoin to compare altcoin, but if you have it in mind to make it from altcoin, I will advice you to invest in etherium and Solana because those two altcoin have strong teams that is behind the movement of etherium and Solana to make sure their investors achieve what they want from the market, if you prefer only bitcoin in your investment that is your choice, but if you want to add altcoin to your investment I will encourage you to add etherium and Solana to your investment and you will benefit from your altcoin investment.
