Altcoin investment is very unpredictable. Trading in mercatox for example; I wont pointpick a name of a coin for respect also, but I wonder why the coins there that are listed just by the voting strategy defeated a coin that's been listed through paying the exchange. What I try to mean is I invest on this certain coin there that is listed there because they paid mercatox. Then I just ignore investing the other coin there that are just being listed there because they win the voting process. And I also do a thorough research before I invest like their website,social media sites,team and whitepaper, so in your mind I think you'll better invest to the other one that pay the exchange right? And that time they are still roughly at 5 gwei each the two coins.
Now a 3 or 4 weeks later, the one blooming in price instead is the coin that won the voting. And the one Im investing is still stagnant. God damn it. I hate trading anymore. So tire trading already, no luck on it, urghh..
I'm sorry to say this but if I was in your shoes I will have chosen the coin that won the voting because that means that there is a significant demand for that coin among the members of the exchange and that they want to trade that coin, the one that paid is only wasting the money that they were given by their investors and nothing more, because if they had a good project they will be included without paying.
