10 Coin you should think before you invest.
If you put $10,000 into $XRP in September 2018.
Today, you would still have $10,000 š¤Æ
99% of altcoins are doomed to dump/never grow.
Here are 10 coins you should AVOID (you're probably holding them) and how to recognize them š§µš
I would highlight 3 main types of altcoins to avoid:
1/ā® Many old projects that are simply too old and overvalued
ā§ They have no technology and no upside
ā§ They are doomed to fall relative to $ETH in the long term, which is what they are doing
2/ā® "Artificial" tokens, where the supply is completely controlled by team/VCs and the value is manipulated
ā§ The price in such projects does not reflect the true market value
ā§ There is always a risk that they will eventually be dumped by -99% at any moment
3/ā® Projects come from past trends (dead P2E games, etc.) or have high FDV, low MC, and constant sell pressure
ā§ Projects from old trends that are no longer relevant are doomed to a slow death
ā§ Buying tokens with strong sell pressure = becoming exit liquidity for VCs
You need to know how to recognize these projects and distinguish junk from gems.
So for example, here are 10 popular tokens - prime examples of these categoriesāthat you might be holding, but they are doomed to fail (IMO).
1/ā® @worldcoin | $WLD
ā§ $WLD is just an artificial coin where the supply is completely controlled
ā§ The value can be manipulated however they want, but it's clear that sooner or later it will definitely be dumped
So the odds are not in your favor
2/ā® @Ripple | $XRP
ā§ $XRP is designed for fast and cheap international money transfers
ā§ But in essence, it is an unnecessary fork of $BTC with overly inflated valuation
ā§ Not the worst coin, but $ETH or $BTC will always be better
ā§ Same for ADA:
5/ā® @eth_classic | $ETC
ā§ $ETC is a blockchain that emerged from a split with ETH in 2016
ā§ $ETC is a fork of $ETH, and it is almost identical
ā§ The only difference is that devs largely ignore ETC, and it has almost no prospects
6/ā® $BCH
ā§ Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin, created with the aim of increasing the block size
ā§ This is supposed to allow for processing more transactions at once
ā§ But in the end, it simply repeats the BTC concept without significant changes
7/ā® @monero | $XMR
ā§ $XMR is known for its anonymity and transaction privacy
ā§ However, since 2022, its value has been stagnating, and there is even a chance of a ban similar to the situation with Tornado Cash
ā§ High valuation, outdated technology, no prospects, high risks
8/ā® @AxieInfinity | $AXS
ā§ This applies not only to $AXS but also to other old P2E game coins
ā§ The trend has moved on, thereās no more hype, and thereās a very high FDV
ā§ Overall, in such projects, the pyramid has collapsed, and thereās nothing more to expect
9/ā® @dYdX | $DYDX
ā§ In $DYDX, the main big issue is the token unlocks
ā§ They are structured in such a way that they will constantly create selling pressure and drive the price lower and lower
ā§ There are many of such projects, so always check vesting schedule
10/ā® Useless L2 projects
ā§ This applies to $STRK, $ZKS ā these are just useless L2 solutions with low mc, high FDV, and constant sell pressure, leading to price dumps
ā§ It also applies to new projects that initially launch with high FDV and no real utility & community
11/ā® Key takeaways to consider before investing:
- Unlocks
- Demand
- Narrative
- FDV/MC
Just analyzing these factors will give you an understanding of whether it's worth investing and if the project has any upside at all.
