According to PANews, before purchasing any tokens, prudent investors should analyze several key factors: market capitalization (MC), fully diluted valuation (FDV), future unlock schedules, token demand, and narrative. This analysis helps determine whether a token is worth holding and has potential for appreciation. However, 98% of altcoins are destined to fail due to their lack of potential. For instance, a $10,000 investment in AXS in November 2021 would be worth only $382.5 today. Over the past 90 days, only TON, SOL, Memes, and BTC have shown significant growth, while other so-called 'high-tech' altcoins have declined. To avoid financial losses, investors should steer clear of three types of altcoins: outdated and overvalued projects, projects tied to past narratives, and overpriced tokens. Outdated and overvalued projects typically lack real technology and lose value over time compared to ETH. Projects tied to past narratives often have high FDV, low market cap, and continuous sell pressure, leading to their decline. Overpriced tokens have their supply tightly controlled by teams or venture capitalists, resulting in manipulated valuations. Based on these criteria, crypto researcher ardizor has identified eight tokens likely to 'fail.' XMR, known for its anonymity and transaction privacy, has seen little price change since 2022 and faces potential bans similar to Tornado Cash. Binance's delisting of XMR this year could be the final blow. Flow, a proof-of-stake blockchain aimed at supporting decentralized applications, NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, and PFP projects, has seen its market interest wane, leading to a decline in value. This is due to continuous sell pressure from venture capitalists and reduced hype around NFTs. XRP, designed for fast and low-cost global transactions, is considered an unnecessary fork of BTC with an overvalued price. Despite having a dedicated following, its future remains uncertain. AXS, along with other veteran P2E tokens like SAND and MANA, has lost market excitement and has a high FDV. The hype around these tokens has faded, making price recovery unlikely. DYDX faces challenges with its token unlock mechanisms, which are designed to stabilize sell pressure but have led to continuous price declines. Many projects face this issue, making it crucial to review unlock schedules for survival. WLD is essentially a fictional token with its supply tightly controlled by major players and insiders who consistently sell tokens, putting retail investors at a disadvantage. BCH, a fork of BTC aimed at increasing block size for more transactions, is fundamentally similar to Bitcoin without significant changes. It is considered a 'fake' Bitcoin, with ETH or BTC being better alternatives. ADA, similar to XRP but without legal issues, has a dedicated community that holds onto their tokens even if prices plummet.
