Kakashi2020 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Is investing in a variety of newly formed/launched coins worth it? I mean if I invest $200 each on 5 different coins, can it be called a good investment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve5 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well, it depends on the outcome. But it's not a good idea. A lot of cryptocurrency isn't as stable as the ones we've come to know. You might lose your money quickly. And you're not sure what to expect since it hasn't been available for that long. Many people have lost thousands of dollars from making the wrong investment. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakashi2020 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 What I was thinking of is if I spread the risk my chances of hitting it big would go up. I mean if I invest even a $100 on 10 newly launched coins, I think not all of them would fail 1 or 2 will work and because I was one of the first investors then I'll reap it's rewards, the price may increase a hundred times in just several days, just like what happened to Bitcoin in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onizuka Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 No. What you're proposing is similar to gambling. You might think you're doing some kind of risk management by spreading your chances but that amounts to nothing when you blindly pick your altcoins. Coins/tokens have their own white paper that you could read to determine what the coin is, what it might be used for, what the future plans of the developers are. Also, your thinking of 1 or 2 out of 10 is inaccurate as there are hundreds of failed ICOs for each "decent" altcoin. You are better off investing in or trading the "established" altcoins.

It's possible. But you should remember that we can never be certain with cryptocurrency. Losing that amount of money can be disappointing. At the end of the day, it's up to you. After all, you'll be the one to benefit from it in case it appreciates just as you hope it would. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cks003 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 The safety and attractiveness of a crypto coin rests on its acceptance and network supporting it. This is given that there have been so many ICOs and the new coins disappeared immediately after they were launched. Investors were reaped by these unscrupulous "entrepreneurs". The price of the coin is solely dependent on the anticipation that Bitcoin and Etherium will be accepted, and given these two platforms provide the largest base, I doubt any other alt coins can rival the incumbents.

It sounds like you know what you're talking about. I think you're right. These newly launched alt coins are tricky to handle. You might easily lose your money due their volatile nature. Bitcoin has had more success than other cryptocurrency out there. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl2468 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) While I may agree that Bitcoin is still the best cryptocurrency to invest on if you have no experience in cryptocurrencies, it's not necessarily a bad idea to invest on other coins. Yes, they are riskier. But you have to remember that most likely, more risk = more reward. Just don't impulse-invest on 5 random altcoins and do extensive research on the cryptocurrency you're interested in. If you really think they're worth it, then go for it. Don't invest your life savings into that though. Edited November 30, 2018 by axl2468 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
