A minute of silence for all Alliance Block investors...i have a brother who invested in this altcoin, hoping to hold till the next bull market, unfortunately the unexpected happened, now all the money is gone before he realized what's going on.
I'm not familiar with this project until I read your thread. Did a quick research on what happened, and maybe you are telling about this incident.
https://medium.com/allianceblock/allianceblock-issues-statement-in-response-to-bonqdao-hack-6510a61fcf5cIf you are a altcoin investor, do not keep all your eggs in one basket, if you believe in an altcoin, make sure it's not the only one, in fact, the more coins you have in your portfolio the lesser the risk, because not all the coins will go bad or get hacked, if one out of 5 or 10 become successful, 6x to , 10x or more, you've made back your ROI and still have some gains.
Diversification towards different projects (if you are focusing on crypto) is a good approach especially when you are just new to investing in crypto.
Being an altcoin investor is more risky compare to just invest purely into Bitcoin. It has a higher risk, but has a higher reward. As for me, whenever I'm investing into altcoins, I'd rather invest into the top altcoins in terms of market cap, but even that, I'm still doing research because we've seen top altcoins went bankrupt or a fraud project or a scam project. Diversifying towards different crypto coins is better, but diversifying towards different assets is for me the best approach.
Also, I prefer projects from the Binance launch pad because binance don't just list any projects, 85% of all projects that used Binance launchpads are successful.
I personally am not a fan of new projects though I know that there are some projects that are becoming successful. I'd rather take the safer approach which is to just invest into altcoins that has been there for a long time.
