Slow and steady they say wins the race. Do not be in a haste to make it big in the crypto world. There is never a shortcut to success. Be contented with whatever you gain at every point in time.
Do not look down on yourself because you see others make it big. A drop of water makes a mighty ocean.
Your gain might seem to be small today.
Your portfolio might not look so big.
Just in a moment and with little more patience, your portfolio will see the brightest light and be filled above your imaginations.
I'm not sure this is an absolute rule in crypto. If all the people who made it this big today had used this strategy, I'm pretty sure the numbers of whales will be less than what we have today. The most important skill any investor or trader should have is one of sharp wits, able to know which project is good for the long haul and which is suitable for the short term ROI. I have studied a few projects and I consider the top 5 coins by CMC to be more profitable for long term than for short term. However, there are so many opportunities with ICOs. Personally, I've chosen a very few ICOs worth investing it:
Datablockchain - data agregator and marking
MFChain - a merchant side incentive to adopt crypto payments
Hinounou - a wellness module for seniors in the community to improve their health.
Linkchain - a new STO on the blockchain, seeking to ramify the gig economy - directly impacting all parties involve mutual objectives.
