Altcoin Is a follow up game, QNT, was doubted, but rose 5x, the consistency is in finding alts with the right usecase and the capacity of company it could serve in the future or in the near term. Some top insider who may as a result of knowledge do figure out which alts the VCs are going for, and share with their peers or audience on social media.
Well, regular traders can make money this way, too. All it takes is patience and the ability to analyze the charts of altcoins that are still at the bottom. My point is that you don't have to be an insider to jump into the right altcoin at the right time. For example, with some altcoins, when they're still languishing at the bottom, you can notice an increase in trading volume while the price remains flat. In fact, this is one of the signals indicating that major players are accumulating the asset.
