My personal opinion will be different. I always rely only on my own experience, which has only pleased me for a long time. I only invest in old coins with great pleasure, which at the moment bring me profit. In the meantime, I'm looking at new projects and studying their roadmap in order to get a return on investment.
Actually this is the best method. Successful old projects are always the best options, but we should not lose sight of new opportunities. We must not forget that successful old projects were also new projects once. Therefore, if we find a solid and promising project, we should not hesitate to invest. I have the same thoughts as you on this. If we adopt an innovative way of thinking in the cryptocurrency market, it will be easier for us to earn more.
There are always different styles and perspectives when picking your investment, as long as you fully understand the system and you are capable to work with the market movements the chance is high for you to find the right asset to invest and your decent amount of money, the best practice is to educate and equip yourself with knowledge, everything begins with small step forward and continually learning the process from time to time.
In Investing we must have their own ways and beliefs, so in this case we must have a special stand so that it is not easy to follow others in holding a coin, because some investors prefer old coins that already have potential because the risk is smaller when compared to new coins, but for those who are ready to bear the risk, the target always chooses new coins that have been run by an experienced team, because if the new project is successfully run then they will definitely get a big profit in a very short time, and the opposite can also happen.
Decision making should be individually decided, never to be influenced by trends and hypes. It will harm your investment if you keep following those speculations around, do your DYOR and allow yourself to adjust to how you believe the market will proceed.
