We need a real return to altcoins.

[kawetsriyanto]

Things are not as "exciting" as they were in the early days. Now it's all about profits. We can blame "Wall Street" and the "meme" coins craze for this. Because of crypto's rising popularity, centralization increased like never before. Now most of the coins we know and love today are centralized. The number of truly-decentralized projects is diminishing each day. They're a very small minority.

The trend can change at any time. Even, there is no factor of Wall Street and memecoin hype, it won't be always as we expected. Sure, there is a big raise in centralized coins because it is created by certain platform. IMO, the real decentralized project is only Bitcoin project. By the way, I personally don't really new new decentralized projects. I will rely on Bitcoin only for the the decentralized project.

I've already lost hope for altcoins to make a comeback. Especially altcoins focusing on utility instead of hype. At least, we got Bitcoin. What more can we ask?

Me, too. I will always prioritize Bitcoin.
For the altcoins, I will only choose top altcoins with strong fundamentals.
I prefer the coins which have been trusted to survive and to keep growing for years.

I was happy where you said that investing in memecoin is just similar to gambling and it is true, and do you think a real and good investment should be seen as gambling?
I owe people people my sincere advice and honesty in regards to cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) investment, if anyone must invest in memecoin since we know what it looks like, it has to be with what we can forgo easily that is my advice.

No way investment will be identical to gambling. They are two different activity and their risks vary.

What is your definition of a real and good investment? Do you mean investment in a more reliable asset like Bitcoin?

If that's indeed what you mean, that mentality has to change. Bitcoin investment specifically has its pros and cons, but when planned right, there is a good chance of being profitable.

Bitcoin investment is an investment with a high probability of long-term success. Although no investment is guaranteed for success. But some have less risk, while some risks can be avoided.

Banking on Altcoins that have survived over the years is cool, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a peep on some of the emerging Altcoins that are developing. Some of these new Altcoins are also very interesting. One thing is just to have certain quantities you look out for any project to have before you hoop into them. Once the project has those qualities, you can be assured that they will make impact and survive for long time to come. And you stand a chance of benefiting from it.

Altcoins don't have a real and practical reason to exist. They just copied Bitcoin to speculate on its trend. The strongest one is Ethereum, and that is just because developers use its network to launch their own altcoins. Therefore, you can't expect much from them... As you can see, they are totally vulnerable to Bitcoin's fluctuations, so when BTC crashes, the altcoins market crash as well, and when Bitcoin pumps, the altcoins market as a whole rises too.

They don't have their own life, so if you are serious about investing your money, you should focus in Bitcoin and allocate just a minor percentage to altcoins, and mainly for experimentation reasons.

It's really hard for me to see any reason for nearly all of them, but i think it's good if they experiment different kind of solutions with altcoins so they get test of time. Rather then trying to implement all kinds of things to bitcoin.

I mean, i don't think that bitcoin would have been developed from what it was to what it its, without using litecoin etc as a test ground.

I refused to agree with this, even Bitcoin does not have practical reason to exist but it's doing well. One bit advantage of Bitcoin over other coin is the fact that Bitcoin is decentralized, you cannot compare it with Ethereum and some alts that has teams. Coins with teams tend to collapse because anytime the team want to make decisions, they don't have the interest of the people, it's always about them and that's why they don't end well.

If you look at Bitcoin, everything is different, the team did Ico and raise millions, Bitcoin didn't raise any money, Ethereum allocate some coins to the team, there is no any allocation to anyone in Bitcoin. So when people are trying to shill Ethereum, you are also making the teams richer, while in Bitcoin it's a collective people that makes the price of Bitcoin to go up and the more the demand, the higher it goes, Bitcoin serves the people better than Ethereum and other alts.

If someone decides to invest their hard earned money into shits or memecoin we can not stop them but we can only remind them of the consequences of their and what to expect which serves as a harmless advice but that is if they inform us before implementing such decision.
You hear people preach about memecoins, how they were able to get some profit out of it, but they leave some part of the story untold,  with all that have been said, I have been waiting to hear from anyone that memcoin or any altcoin is better than bitcon but nothing of such has been said or heard from anyone, it has always been an alternative that sometimes has a tragic end that we keep hearing.

We know the market and the risks involved, it's better we start making good runs for projects and sectors of the market that seem favorable because there's no longer time to be roaming about, this is time to thoroughly know our roadmap because without that, I don't think anyone of us would have direction in the market. Memecoins have made people millionaires in the past and still very much capable of making another people. It's just simple, find out time to spot a project that's solid, have a good road map and longevity in the market is 100% then try as much as possible to invest early in that project and before you know it, boom you're in profits although not all of this memecoins pump really high, some pump and dump heavily.

Memecoins millionaires are those who dumped their coins on lower investors, meaning that their profits didn't come from real projects dividends but the loses of others, I don't see that as something positive to be proud of or expect a repeat.
                                                                             
Altcoins risks have continued on the increase and with each new hype's comes with a lot of tear down of the general market motivation on altcoins and hope we going to see a change in that direction where project will be service focused and ecosystem oriented not just market hype's.
