Also, one other thing I’d like to let you know is that the data for the altcoin I hold on CoinMarketCap contains major discrepancies. There’s an uncorrected price difference between exchanges (since deposits are closed on Kucoin and HTX, arbitrage isn’t possible), fake price data (a price between Kucoin and HTX prices that is not being traded on any exchange), differing market cap data, and fake unlock data. Could the coin I bought, relying on big investment firms, be a scam? Don’t major crypto investment firms take precautions for these kinds of situations?
Also, -99.6% loss requires 24899.999% rise in the price just to get back to 100%. You are lucky to get in at the bottom if it goes back up, but in most cases, there are good reasons why it crashed in the first place, and many of these developers quit before it has even a change to go back up, just because lack of funds and interest.
Also old coins aren't usually creating much fomo, and if they ever rise, it usually takes forever.
