Topic: Alt Coins in 2018 - Too risky?? (Read 331 times)
You’re in crypto, possibly the most risky market there is right now, so realize that before you put money into the market, nothing and I mean nothing is a sure bet.
2018 is the year of regulation, which most likely means governments enforce AML/KYC. Some privacy coins may do well this year, but as an investment I think they are too risky with regulations potentially dropping the hammer.
The risk is higher, so you should not only focus on the ICO. Distribute your capital among several ICO, the second part may be stored in several altcoins, and the third part of the output in the euro.
In this regard, this year's risk is greater, do not forget.
no one knows. This year we will have ICO collecting funds, as well as some platforms for storing blockchain data. Who knows how technology will evolve and in what direction.

I thinks yes there ara more risk for alt coins. We can see new a lot of coins that may are scam. %49 of ıcos were scam in 2017 so I don't trust a lot of new ıcos. We should be carefull about this stiation.
With all this FUD and banning, do you think we will have as many ICO growths as we did last year?
And are the risks higher!??

I think that the number of ICO will decrease. But the reason for this will be the bad experience of 2017. Not many projects collected the necessary amount to run. If a weak product and there is no good team, then many will leave this idea alone. Investors have already been taught bad experiences and are now very attentive to the choice of the project. Well, the reasons you mentioned, of course, will affect the reduction in the number of ICO.

We've been a lot of FUD and banning lately, and it really affect the growth of ICO's. People might see the potential on cryptocurrency which started to have been widely known last year. But people are becoming aware that when there is FUD, prices might go down so they are all wise now, taking profits when there is pump. Cryptocurrency is risky, and when its just starting its really much riskier. So better do our job in researching whats best ICo to invest in.
Don't see any connection between ICOs amount and FUD. An ICO is business and there is no place for any FUD there. Yes, there are scammer and lovers, but there are thousands of ICO success stories.
It is all about taking risks while gathering more as you go, just imagine an elevator, it goes down and it goes up, depending on the people who will be entering and going out from it and the time duration they stay inside, same with coins, they go up and they need to go down take some piece from down while going up...
I think 2018 will be a great year for alts, once BTC begins to stabilize after it recovers fully, I think we'll see a nice rise in most alts. ICOs have always carried risk but can be very lucrative if you research and find the gems.
I would invest in some altcoins, but only in reliable ones. But when it will pump - I will sell it and hold in BTC and ETH.
The 2018 year does not seem a golden year for altcoin because this year there are many rumors and negative decisions related altcoin.

I'm not afraid these FUD and bans, but there is another threat I guess. The economical situation at the crypto market changes and the countless amount of new projects can lead to the long term downtrend of already existed projects.
Of course that trading altcoins is risky. Nobody should want to be a milionaire overnight. Always invest only capital that you can lose, never use all your available money.
When the altcoin in which you have invested doubles, cash out the half back to get your initial investment and you will still have some % of the coin when it moons and you will have back fiat that you invested - this is most save strategy. If your coin dropped, just HODL and hope for better tomorrow, never panic sell at high loss.

Cryptocurrencies will always be risky regardless of the year. Owning cryptocurrencies will have risks such as financial losses, being hacked, theft/robberies, lack of sleep, depression, etc. Staying low profile and investing with money you don't need can help reduce some of these risks.
Altcoins are not a risky investment in 2018 as many of the altcoin were launched in the previous year and the trends of them have given a perspective on which coins present a future value and which do not. Since there are hundreds of altcoins present in the cryptocurrency market today it is likely for some to succeed.
The usage of the certain project will allow him to succeed, investors are wise now they will buy coins that have potential to grow so investing is not risky if you know where to place your investment, learn more about the project and see how the developers works, if you see that there's a high chance that theproject will progress then proceed and wait after some time, it is not the year but the trends that will move the coins.

ICO remains a good way of raising funds. Whether folks fall for this or that project or demand that it's absolutely transparent is another matter. So I think nothing changes fundamentally in 2018. The government may adopt a tougher approach in regards with crypto and ICO, but you can still invest as long as you believe the team
Getting into cryptocurrency itself is high risk, but again we all know that risk taking is the only way of getting results. Taking calculated risks is however advised, get to know what you are investing in first then invest., prices fall and you lose,what really matters is how consistent you are and how you get back after a loss.
with experience from past scams, i think this year will be tight security wise because the ones scammed learned and the new altcoins may come in with improved systems to avoid falling into the scammers trap.
Because more and more countries began to prepare the regulatory ICO market, so that means more and more of the ICO project normalization, may in this year, it is difficult to see a bogus project, then it is a good time to an investment.
Risk had been part of cryptocurrency investment even from the start so it won't have any difference this 2018 same ampunt of risk and chance to make huge profit like when alts is just starting.
It seems that with the number of restrictions in different countries in terms of ICO it is likely that fewer ICOs will emerge compared to last year, I think it is a positive thing that the ICO scam will also think twice about taking action. We invest in ICO does have a very high risk, then we must choose a potential ICO and not a scam.
hasn't been a great start to the year for alts but hopefully will change soon
As of now the crypto market is going in a trend which none of us would like it to be especially after seeing huge pump but things will fall into place we just have to wait and hold on to the coins if we have invested into the right altcoin.
hasn't been a great start to the year for alts but hopefully will change soon
The risks are definitely higher. But I think that makes way for great projects like Polymath where they help companies launch legally compliant security tokens. https://polymath.network/
I chose to invest in this new and less well-known Crypto market. Because there is a big risk here but also there is a big profit. Banks are still available for those who want a less risky and fixed-income investment. There are very few people in the world who have invested in this market yet, so i'm not afraid, it may be long term but i will be in the winners.
Even with all the FUD and uncertainty it is still a very promising sector for casual investors that has unbelievable potential.
High risk yields high rewards
The risky nature is always attached to altcoins regardless of the year ( time ) but 2018 will be ( and it started to be ) less tolerant to scammers and fraudulents since a lot of governmental restrictions have been imposed on that community
Probably is too risky for the altcoins in 2018 look at the coin market cap was volatile it is hard make the right altcoins for you to invest on it, but we don't this coming march i hope we can see the all altcoins are rising up again.
Many people told that 2018 is going to be golden year for cryptocurrencies bt now I see many people are afraid. If you check graphics of bitcoin and other altcoin price always dropped in the beginning of previous years. So it is early to talk about that. There is always risk in investing. So we can see after march what will happen.
ICOs doesnt affected by this bitcoin's price movements or FUDs,BAN because thet are still in a development phase which is why they are having token sales to get and raise some funds that they needed to pursue the project completion.If the project is worthy investment people will still support it in any ways that they can help.We will see more upcoming projects this year that will innovate the blockchain technology.
regardless fud and the downtrend if we compare the market cap, it is sure that this year the market cap is higher which I think will result for many alts to grow more.
Despite the bans With the rate of new and upcoming icos and their world vision, simplifying life, data, interactive platforms, i dont see them reducing in any way, nor the investors, nor the users. Crypto is here to stay, despite the various changing phases brought about by outlying factors affecting it.
For me,yes its too risky. For example, you may buy a coin at $50 per piece today, and tomorrow it drops to 30 cents. Hence, never invest more than you can afford to.Because cryptocurrencies are super volatile by nature.

It seems to me that this year will be extremely beneficial for altcoins, because the era of bitcoin is coming to an end..
With all this FUD and banning, do you think we will have as many ICO growths as we did last year?
And are the risks higher!??

Nobody knows. We shall have a lot of exchanges/trading units gathering funds this year and also some platforms for storing data on blockchain. Who knows how technology will develop and in which direction.
We will see growth in some ICOs but I think people are wising up to the fact that all ICOs aren't king and they can't make money on all of them. In that regard, this year is more risky and also lets not forget that most of these alts will be useless in 1-2 years from now. I think knowing these things people are more selective, and you should be too.
I think 2018 will be great for ICO's. You may see that the first two months are not good but things change too fast in crypto world. I can say that we may see a couple of more bull and bear markets this year, and ICO's and altcoins will see both good and bad times. More regulations and more experienced community will help making this market going bigger.
If you know how human minds work they people will continue to invest into this ICOs nomatter what, just look at the amount of funds that has been raised this year alone, it is already in Billions, I think we will see more ICOs and more failed projects this year and reality will likely set into the scene when major projects starts to fail and people realise they can't delivered on what they actually promised

The risks are higher that is what I believe this year. If bitcoin would have been growing the same way as it did last year then there was great chance for the altcoins to grow along with the coins which are coming out of new ICO project. The reason is straight, if bitcoin stays healthy then it is far greater for the altcoin market to stay healthy because it is actually support for the projects when they raise huge amount of money for their development. Its simple fact that if bitcoin drops in value then ICO projects are incurred with huge loss as they carry lower money as compared to what they raised initially. I think this point is enough to explain why most of the ICO's will fail this year as they will have less budgets virtually.
The 2018 year does not seem a golden year for altcoin because this year there are many rumors and negative decisions related altcoin, fud everywhere.
Even it is not a normal year dude. We are seeing it as a nightmare for crypto holders. I am really worry and unable to exchange the bitcoins for my personal expenses too. I do not when these fucking corporate people stop spreading the fake news to here in the forum and news site.
I see all the crpyto currencies are already started bumping in the market. We can invest on any potential altcoin now and you will find the value tripled in some weeks.

Cryptocurrency market will always be risky because of its high volatility which can rise or fall in just matter or hours.I dont really think ICOs will be affected by these FUDs because these projects are just raising their funds for the development of the coin which is needed by these developers to be able to follow their roadmaps.Altcoins growth this year would be massive because bitcoin's movements will be more on sideways than bulls and bears according to the experts which we are seeing today.

I dont think these FUDs can really affect ICOs for achieving its success,because if the project is really promising people will still invest no matter what is the situation of the market.FUDs are indeed affecting bitcoin's price but that is the risk of our volatile market we just need to know how the market moves so we can adjust in any situation we are in. And are the risks higher!??

I think that this year there will be much fewer scammers because of the fact that ICO will begin to monitor. But you still need to analyze which coin will be promising.
