Kinda feels really weird to read those replies when some one asks "why would you recommend those coins?". Feels like they are either randomly suggesting the coin or just because they have invested on it, they want other users to invest on it too no matter how shit the coin is. More like they are shilling for the coin.
I don't think BAT and Vechain are "new altcoins" like you have mentioned. They have been in the market for more than two years maybe.
You are so right of course that they have been around for a fairly long time now in this new and young market. Two years can be nothing in investment time, or perhaps long in crypto
I got in with VET (or VEN) and BAT back in 2017 time. Sold most of the BAT off in not that long, and not really a holder of it anymore. Besides anything, I get from the browser or publishing.
But yeah I'm also with you reg the posts here
But it is surely a mix of replies. It would be hard for a beginner to read the replies in this thread and come out from it with a clear idea of which coins to pick.
For me, it is all up to each and every one. But for me, start off with the 'safer' choices and build up with 'newer' altcoins as you progress and get more experienced is my recommendation to beginners reading this.
Sure you might get lucky finding out about a new coin on here. That's great. But hopefully, people do their research before investing in anything.
