What you said boils down to stating that 300% pumping can't contribute much to one's portfolio. I think that possible 300% would be a decent profit (in fact, it would be a huge profit). If you are skilled, you can make even more than that, since a pumped coin doesn't usually grow without some minor rebounds on its way to the top (and to the bottom, by the way). If you personally can't make a decent profit from a coin going up 300% (or down, for that matter), then you are pretty bad at trading. Or just happen to be spreading blatant disinformation, as always ("altcoin{s} are dying monsters")...
Volatility is the engine of speculation (whether you like it or not)
yeah it can contribute, that's obvious, but only if you can catch it, this is was my whole point, you can't catch it always, if you can't and instead you hit the crash after that huge pump, you will end up losing instead
And you dare blame me of perverting your words and making things up when I just asked you a question (well, two) about whether you actually think that 300% growth is not worthy enough?
that 300% was just an example, it could happen but not always, and you can always be there to catch it and take profit, also you don't know if it will still go up or just crash after it
you are putting it like, it's mandatory to anyone to have a huge profit, if this profit jumps out in the market, if that would have been the case, everyone would be rich by now...
Had you really regularly traded doges, you would have known that the pump phase lasts
at least a few days (usually more than a week, see the charts). I guess it is more than enough for anyone considering themselves a "trader" to jump on the bandwagon. If your risk tolerance is low, you don't despise stop-losses and get married to a position (what essentially prevents a trader from turning into "investor"), then yes, earning a handsome profit from a 300% rally is a pretty easy task...
it's not always the case, it's not like the pump follow a perfect cycle, and thus everyone is aware of it, a pump can last a few days, a few week or just a few hours
otherwise like i said it would be the heaven for everyone, and they will wait only for the pump and then exit at the perfect time, since the "pump time" as you think, it lasts for a fixed time...
