Topic: Dumb plan? - page 5. (Read 711 times)

Yes, BTC will recover but it's baffling how a market as big as Bitcoin can drop by $10k without any significant news or event happening around. It simply means that whales are controlling and manipulating the market most of the times and it's nearly impossible for a mall fish to make profit in such a vastly manipulated market. They can create FOMO by pumping the price by 10k and we will fall for it, or they can create panic by dumping the price by $10k and we will panic sell.

It's best to just invest in top 10 coins and stick with them even during bear runs because eventually they will rise again. When I say top 10 though, I never consider dogecoin as a top coin ever so top 10 minus dogecoin.

I'm not thinking about investing in a new project at a time of bear market like this. My choice may only be bitcoin which can be the right choice, as for altcoins only a few that I would dare to invest in, such as ETH and BNB for example. Investing in a new project in the current situation is too risky in my opinion, so I will reconsider a few times if I look at some altcoins.

when the crypto market is still in the bear market zone as it is now, putting your money into BTC, ETH and BNB, is a very good plan because these coins have very good potential and prospects in the future, do not occasionally invest with new coins or tokens because they have a very high risk lest you get caught in it.

The statement you convey is a contradictory statement, on the one hand, you argue that in order to get maximum profit, you should enter projects that are not yet in the top ranks of CMC, but on the other hand you say that you must also look at their resilience in the market .

In my personal opinion, everyone has their own research and risks. So, if you want maximum profit, one must have the courage to make decisions on projects with high volatility (new projects).

If you have seen that altcoins are unstable in their status in the coinmarketcap ranking. Maybe it gives you an idea that only Bitcoin survives the cycle of a bear market. Bitcoin's all-weather long-term financial storage has proven it all.

The risk of altcoins cannot guarantee that anything will last long, change after change will always take place every year. So now are you still hesitating to take more bitcoin in bear market.

That's good idea as long as you can invest that you can afford to lose it. The fact that when you are seeing the market and it can recover anytime. Bitcoin is not even dropping so hard and it's still continuing its side way around 28 - 29.
Im sure that once the recovery will come soon and this will become another good thing to come. Investing in the new project was not a bad idea at all.
You must know which was that's legit and it's not a scam project.

can you mention which new projects have good potential that can beat the popularity of coins that have been in the crypto market for a long time, and are they as popular as binance, ethereum, solana, or other coins, indeed there are currently many new projects being developed but their growth is only due to hype and never lasts long, it's best before investing in a new project you should do in-depth research so that you know how big the chances are to survive and be profitable for you.

You need to be lucky to profit from the alts. Yes there will be new alts replace the old ones in the future but there will also be losers among those new altcoins. How you gonna know which will be the winners? You need to be extremely lucky for that. I’d say just play dice instead. It is also luck based.

It will always be beneficial to invest in new stuff because that will bring innovation and other things to the world. It's like getting from beepers to smartphones kind of thing. Where are the old things now? Sometimes it's just better to have a new one.

You would want to do just some things when replacing the older crypto. These are just what I can think of from the top of my head.

• Faster transaction speeds
• Less strain on handling the current blockchain
• More people easily understand it and how to use it
• More secure network

The cryptocurrencies that are still on top probably have a lot of users, and that just says a lot, and you wouldn't go flawed with them. So maybe that's going to help you in something.

It's quite simple. Invest in a project which solves something and addresses a new problem.
There are hundreds of projects out there which is addressing the same problem and solutions are already there for it.
Those projects never succeed in the long run and they are there just to bank of the users.
So invest in a project which you think is doing something new and has a great potential.

Can't say that investing in new projects is a bad idea, it would be correct to say that you can invest in new projects if you have enough knowledge and skills to choose from a variety of new projects one, or maybe several of those projects, that can grow and develop to get into the top 100. It's not easy otherwise everyone would be able to do it. If you want to try how well you can do it, then do it with a small amount so that in case of failure, the losses are minimal.

You need a huge capital and to accept that more than half of your investments will go to zero.

There are multiple possibilities you can lose your coins.  A coin out of your investments going through a fork, being attacked (see Luna) and scamming are only a few to name.  I have lost some of my coins years ago due to a fork I have not been up to date with.  The more coins you have, the harder it will get for you to keep up.

Then there is one more possibility.  The coin might simply die out due to a lack of interest from the community or due to lack of development.  So many coins came out of nowhere and vanished forever in the last few years.  I can not even imagine how many billions have simply gone forever during the ICO hype times.

Now about the capital requirement.  You can not just place your bets on a single coin or a few of them and roll with it.  You will have to invest in multiple assets as you have no idea which will succeed, if ever.  So let us say you will draw a line and find out you want to invest in 100 coins.  How much money can you invest in them?  $100 in each?  Is it all worth the risks?  Why not just invest in something that has active development, a strong community backing it and a real possible future?  How many of these 100 do you think will reach top 10 within years?  What if none of them ever will?  That is money thrown into the pits of hell!

I think that new projects have far more potential to generate more profits than older projects or those that have lasted for years. Even I believe those who are now occupying the top positions in the market will sooner or later be replaced by a new generation that is much more powerful than that coin. It's just that new coins tend to carry a lot of risk too, because we can't just believe that they really match their strong fundamentals until we see for ourselves how they survive in a bear market.

1. The past condition doesn't merely suggest the future will be the same, especially if you barely researching what is the new project that trying to solve.

2. Note the possible economic/market downturn that spread around recently. Taking the bigger picture, a lot of big companies are laying off their employees for efficiencies and some big investors are drawing back from spending funds recklessly.

3. Separating the wheat from the chaff is a monstrous job. Do you have the capacity for finding which project is a hidden gem?

only a few new projects can survive and compete with older projects already on the market. some developers certainly experience different obstacles in doing development.
indeed there are new assets that suddenly attract large investors. but their efforts also take a long time.
If you can pick a quality new project for the long term, that's fine.
but for new tokens or coins, I will only use them for short term planning.

The new tokens will rise to replace the existing major coin in the market and this cycle is always running. i have no doubt if you will be always seeing the new face that will come everyyear. The competition of crypto is very strict these days. So think about that.

It's not a bad idea but the difficult thing is which token that worth to invest these days? I meant if you are looking at the market and that makes even more difficult to pick the best token for now.

Take a closer look at why you think it's bad, see for yourself how you understand it, and whether your experience with this market is real. Of course, most of what I've seen after every trend is an exaggeration of the future when they offer nothing but quick gains and losses, we get carried away. during those trends when it is easy to make a profit. But you need to think more about what you will gain and what you will lose when buying them. Having an easy strategy for these will reduce the risk of loss even more. I myself now spend some time researching new projects and looking for profit opportunities they bring, but basically we should still hold more BTC. Find a way to increase your BTC over time.

No one said that it is a bad idea to invest in new project but it is a bad idea that you are going to invest in a project based on hype such as meme coins and other hyped tokens that doesn't have an actual use in real world. If you managed to find a good and unique project, then that is a good sign and opportunity. Just beware of the other scam projects honestly nowadays I cannot tell exactly which one is a real project and which one is not.

Actually it's not a bad problem if you want to invest in a new project now, but for some reason they (the new project) don't have such a strong foundation and their popularity is still less than the old project, so the risk is bigger if you invest in a new project if you invest in a new project. in case they're not really good, unless you've researched them over and over again to make sure the new project is good.

That’s the thing about crypto market, uncertainty at its peak. You never know which coin will take downturn and up turn. You have to rely completely on precise study of that project and invest accordingly. One should only invest if they know the coin and it’s detailed roadmap. That’s too unsure if they gonna follow it or not properly. Many of them change the course of same. I have seen so many project with active community, project leads, team members and stuff but suddenly they go vanish in thin air. CMC makes up based on volume, price etc. That’s not entire factor to understand projects destiny.
