You guys want to understand the Dark side to crypto, There are 100's of Alts and its not about trust in this bullish market just go with any coin I am damn sure you will get at least 2x in return. Most of them know the categories in crypto like innovation, DEFI, DAO, METAVERSE, GAMING, FAN COIN, MEMECOIN etc...etc... I bet you will get maximum returns in any of these sector.
So just go with the any coin and have patience at least for a year you can expect minimum 2x from here mark my words. Remember always there not only top coins to me every coin has its turn all you need is patience, patience, patience....
We can't just invest and wait, it's stupid in my opinion, because after all there is always a reason why one coin rises and falls, and again we have many sectors that have different utilities and functions for each coin, of course you have to have an analysis both fundamentally and technically, if you buy without understanding the coin you buy it's the same as gambling, many of the top 100 are also displaced and do not have a significant increase, be a smart investor, and if you are a trader then be a smart trader, if you buy then you don't know, then what do you mean patience?
So you want to Invest and sell in few mints??? Well that's called absolute Gambling mate. Remember always those who are millionaire's in crypto didn't made money overnight its all ( Holding Asset) longtime wait and again the word " Patience " gave them all. You can give any opinion any clue any hint whatever but after all the one who makes money matters End of the Day.
Definitely Utility of a coin matters and I never said Invest in Shit coin and Expect a minimal of 2x and by the way none of them are fool as a trader. I guess you might have not tasted the longtime hold profit. Also there's no a Smart trader nor champion trader or whatever in your understanding. Market bites everyone the one who makes money with good returns is considered as " Winner " to me
Many people can make money overnight, it's just that maybe we don't know how, maybe market makers can do that, BTW things that can be promising to hold are Bitcoin and ETH, that coin can give more confidence to hold in the long run, as we see BTC returning to its ATH even before the halving occurs, and ETH is approaching its ATH, while other coins in 2021 are still in question and only a few survive in the top 100, and the average is disrupted by new creativity in the market, such as Modular networks, AI, Depin etc., it will be related to market needs and narratives that will be needed, because such if market problems.
So don't be too fanatical about altcoins.
Speaking of profit if what you consider shitcoin is a meme coin, when memecoin can give you profit, why don't you take it, don't you think? and whether the shitcoin you mean has a lot of zeros like 0.0000, we see what the price of BTC was and what the price of BNB or ETH was back then, I mean if you are a hunter, of course you will look for a place where money will grow faster, the capital is only two, courage and don't be greedy.
