I am active again after a while and a lot has changed but the apathy of tier two altcoins remains same and it's absolute sham because most of the tier two altcoins have hit rockbottom and to a point of no return and some trusted coins like LUNA, FTX, Celsius, and BlockFI etc where people have lost their life long savings and on the other hand we have tokens like Solano, XRP, XLM, BNB, ADA and Matic who are heading on path of recovery. It's clear that you go with top altcoins (even this involves risk like fate of LUNA, FTX, etc) though there are slight risk of losing but probability of losing everything is even more in other altcoins whose prices are dipped within few seconds after their launch. It's better to invest in established coins rather than newbies.
Please share your opinion.
Not being able to accurately predict the popularity of a project or coin does not guarantee that it will last forever or be free of problems.
There are many factors that can affect the popularity and survival of a cryptocurrency project or coin. As you mentioned, there are unexpected situations that even experienced people cannot predict in advance. This makes investing riskier and more complicated.
If you want to minimize risk, choosing top altcoins or class 1 coins can be a good strategy. But remember that no investment is completely risk-free. The cryptocurrency market has always had uncontrollable factors, and it is very important to remain vigilant and manage risks.
