Topic: Is hodling top 10 Marketcap coins a good tactic? - page 3. (Read 2291 times)

Not sure what do you mean by this. Whether the RoI is high (or positive) would depend on the point of entry. If you bought at ath your RoI will be negative and definitely not "very high". I think you meant that they've already achieved high market caps.


How so? Why exactly is the risk greater than for other altcoins (which is a very broad term and includes coins literally created for a pump-and-dump purpose)?

That depends if the new project start from over valuated marketcap or not. i've seem many projects only coming down from their starting valuation like ICP . People somehow keep investing to projects that have too high cap from the start. They are never going to learn.

Playing safe has a whole new meaning in crypto. Anyone who comes from tradtional markets doesn't see any of this as "safe". Maybe after another 10 years people will see this field as fairly normal and mature coins as "safe", or we are living the last golden days of crypto and this will be all over somehow.

TOP 10 altcoins such as Doge, Ethereum, Ripple, Polygon, Solana, and Binance already have very high ROI,
and the possibility of dumping is far greater than other altcoins, moreover some of the top 10 altcoins like Solana, Ripple and Binance are having problems,
and marketcap is also likely to go down and cause a dump on the altcoin, so choosing with DYOR and wisely is important.

I think it is a very good tactic than holding a coin that is new and not listed on CMC or in coingecko, CMC is a very good apps to track a coiin to know the records the marketcap etc., So if we are buying a top 10 listed coin CMC that is more secure than a new coin but still we need to take care because many coins are deleted on cmc for some reason always DYOR.

We enter into crypto market and  it indicates that there is an altcoin that is in great demand by many people so that the trading volume continues to increase and makes the ranking better than before and then you need to look beyond the top ranked coins, probably go even beyond top 100 coins to catch the perfect storm!!
Btw history has shown that over the years, months or week coins with the best positives Return on Income usually come from the little known coins as these have low liquidity .

The dynamics of each period is different and investing in the top 10 coins is not a rational tactic. If you are new to the market and do not know anything about the market, you can try thisbut this experiment should not be long. My investments that i would make blindly in the market for many years would be Bitcoin and Ethereum. If you had started investing when Ethereum was not in the top 10, your life would have changed completely. I mean if you find and invest in a coin with a dazzling project and action, with a good team and a solid plan, apart from the top 10 coins your life can change in the coming years. The top 10 coins in the years 2015-2017-2021 are as in the image. If you had invested in the top 10 coins in 2015, your profit would probably have been less than your loss. If you want to dive into the top 10 now stay of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Right on the surface, that's a pretty dumb statement Vaskiy.

You know what the statement sounds like?

"Diversify for the mere sake of diversifying"

And,

"if you do not know what or how to diversify, then just pick the top 10 because it seems like the top 10 might be a good idea"

 

what a bunch of baloney to proclaim picking the top 10 just makes a lot of sense.


Volatility is a feature rather than a bug..

At least when it comes to bitcoin, and all of the other coins follow king daddy bitcoin, so in the sense that bitcoin is inevitably going to be volatile, then so are the various other coins (top 10 or otherwise) going to be volatile as well - and probably even more volatile than the king.


Yes.  That's the right assessment to make when it comes to bitcoin, but that same assessment does not apply to the whole top 10 coins, merely because they happen to be next to the king.

In other words, don't get your potentially correct assessment of bitcoin mixed up and then apply that same assessment to shitcoins because it does not work for shitcoins (whether the top 10 or not)... Such assessment only works for bitcoin.. so maybe that's what is causing you confusion to believe that you can make the same assessment that you make for bitcoin to various shitcoins merely because they happen to be in the top 10 or to appear as if they are next to bitcoin, when they are in fact merely garbage and most likely to be affinity scams rather than having any actual fundamental and/or meaningful value.


Consider just focusing on bitcoin rather than getting distracted into nonsense, and then you will become even MOAR smarter.

You are already suffering from the same fallacious "wanna get rich quick" thinking because you seem to believe that "bitcoin is not enough."


Yes.  Your thinking on the topic seems to be as gobbledy-gook and muddied as Vaskiy's. 

Good luck with that lack of focus, when you think that you "are focused" because you are purportedly "playing it safe!".. hahahahahha


You will need it.

The second anybody mentions investing & hodling in the top 10 coins , what comes to mind is playing it safe!
If you looking for less risky and less volatile coins this is the right place to look, but if you want higher rewards with a touch of risk...then you need to look beyond the top ranked coins, probably go even beyond top 100 coins to catch the perfect storm!!
Btw history has shown that over the years, months or week coins with the best positives(Return on Income ) usually come from the little known coins as these have low liquidity, cheaper to buy and whales will be out to buy such as they will have much control of how these small coins behave.

Holding the top 10 cryptocurrency means it'll make the portfolio stronger. Even with this kind of portfolio people experience loss which is normal. As the market is highly volatile no one is specific on the price movement. It all depends on our way of risk management as well as the ability to hold with patience. Most of the time the disappointment with top cryptocurrency holding happens while getting more greedy as well as with situations when we have the plan to be rich in the short term. For this people keep on switching between different assets. For long term profit expectation top 10 cryptocurrency is a best choice, considering the 20k+ cryptocurrencies available in the market.

What kind of new project? shitcoin or meme coin that just makes it a pump and dump by implication?
I wouldn't have a problem with people doing it but on the other hand it is precisely with this state of mind that you will be a little lost in my opinion.
It's not an investment if you can say but it's like gambling because you just want to be in a new project with the hope that it will be pumped in such a way as to get a lot of profit in a short time. it does sound exciting because you just need to be there and leave when you get the profit. But on the other hand, you should have another thought because such projects have a much greater degree of danger.
The profit you get is only a small part of the many scams that exist in a new project and you will get that profit also includes your momentum whether it is right or not in looking for an unclear project like this because if you are wrong just a little in the research done indirectly you will lose the money you invested. I think such conditions are not too worth it to do.
Instead of that, I'd rather be in something more promising and of course bitcoin is the most promising place to be compared to what you're doing with a new project.
Even though in this case the risk is also definitely there because indeed we cannot be here without risk but the comparison is quite far when in bitcoin and in shitcoin like that.

Of course holding top 10 rankings is the safest thing than holding at a lower level, but in my opinion the best thing to get big profits is to dare to invest in new projects, holding top 10 is safe and profitable but it takes a long time to be profitable, while new projects are more easy to profit 10x even 100x within a year.

If you enter the crypto market and doubt bitcoin, then you better leave the market and don't invest in any other project.  because even the safest and most reliable coin that you don't trust, you are not a good fit for the market. indeed, I also disagree with the idea that investing in the top 10 will be safe and certainly profitable for us. In the altcoin market, aside from ETH, everything else is more like gambling than investing.  I believe the upcoming bull season will be similar to last season, the top coins will be replaced by newer altcoins, so we should be careful.

Altcoins with low ROI also have other risks which can also be very dangerous for investors or traders in the short and long term, because the altcoins you mentioned and which you think have high ROI are altcoins which are still very much in demand so far the possibility to remain in the market is always greater than new altcoins or altcoins whose ROI is still low so the possibility to disappear from market circulation is far greater.

The top 10 coinmarketcap is indeed not always the same every year and every time there is a change in the top 10 positions in coinmarketcap, it indicates that there is an altcoin that is in great demand by many people so that the trading volume continues to increase and makes the ranking better than before, but for Ethereum, XRP, Matic, BNB and ADA, that's still good enough for everyone over thousands of other altcoins that rank way too far from them.

Often the top 10 coins have been exchanged for other coins. I think we should turn to altcoins that will provide more returns. The thing we need to pay attention to is to invest in an amount that we will not be upset when we lose. After all, we take risks. We can also invest in the top 10 coins, but it has to be at a certain level. I have always loved making baskets. That's why I don't invest most of my money in a single coin.

Different coins can be stars in the new bull run. Coins that have previously provided significant returns may not always yield profits. Although they have proven themselves. I think the ranking in the top 10 will change. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the market well.

The top 10 coinmarketcap isn't as good as long, if you look at the chart of the top 10,
such as Ethereum, XRP, Matic, BNB and ADA all have very high ROI,
and are you sure you want to invest in one that already has a high ROI? 
in my opinion it's better to look for altcoins that still have low ROI because the risks we will accept are also much smaller.

The terrible thing is that every certain cycle the Top 10 altcoins always alternate with new ones, some are due to bankruptcy, stagnant development, old technology, fraud, weak network security, or other things that have problems with the development and running of technology on the altcoin network, which makes investors lose money on altcoins as before, even though basically the market capitalization is quite large, but it is not a guarantee that the money invested in the development of altcoin projects can get benefits in coin diversification.
Even if there are people who do it, I think it's the same as gambling, even though they have done research in many ways and found a conviction to invest in the project.
But this returns to each one, because of a decision that is taken by you, you alone will get the profit or loss, but never doubt bitcoin, which has always been top 1 to this day and has never been replaced and never will be.

Most trackers are capital based in bias which would mean mostly BTC is held by far anyway.    If you had the tracking to constantly update and alter that bias before closing to the highest volume hours that might be a tool worth having then and deploying.    Most of us will be inaccurate and I wouldn't want to hold all of the top10 coins equally as I dont think this will perform well enough to justify holding some of the losers vs the winners in that group though 10 is small its going to involve loss of some.

Fuck shitcoins.

it does not matter if they are old or new, and I think that is part of the point that Dr.Bitcoin_Strange was making.

You want to get in on the new scam that is just like the old scam, except that you realize that it "might" have pumpamentals because it is new?  What a dumb way to think about how to invest your time, energies and capital - especially, when you have a new and emerging quality asymmetric investment like bitcoin staring you in the face in which it is likely the greatest peace-time transfer of wealth is going to continue to take place, and you want to fuck around with shitcoins rather than trying to learn about and focusing on the king?  You are likely never going to even learn what is bitcoin (or even build a meaningful bitcoin position) if you are so distracted into chasing the next scam (merely because it happens to be the latest and greatest "new" scam). 

Good luck with chasing scams, and/or believing that their is value in looking at the top 10 or the top 100 coins, instead of focusing on bitcoin, you are likely going to need a lot of luck if you think like that and follow through with actions in accordance with that kind of lack of focus thinking.

What you say is absolutely true, that's how the altcoin market works, but I think many people don't realize it. And that is also why I always advise people not to invest in old altcoins, no matter how potent they are, newer projects will replace them in the next bull season. I don't hate someone investing in altcoins because it actually has a higher return potential than bitcoin. If they are interested in investing in altcoins, I always encourage people to stay away from old altcoins when the bear season comes and choose newer projects. Altcoins are only suitable for short-term investment and, once profitable, never reinvest and think they have long-term potential. It's all just gambling and money games.

I agree with you but literally not everyone wants to have investment only on Bitcoin and considering the fact that some new or old investors might be looking into diversifying their crypto portfolios which is part of the game, So despite all odds it's more preferable to deal with the devil you know than the angel you do not know, at least this coins did something that brought them up the table and in the case of diversification I would prefer choosing one or two coins from the top 10 that meets my research.
