I am not sure that it is time to buy new coins now. As i see more coins loose their value from day to day. I prefer old coins and bought just several new during last year.
Yup. Most people think together with you. This is a very difficult time to choose a good project and it will be very risky if you do not know exactly what the project is. I think investing in the old coin will make your investment more stable and will make a good profit if there is big news to this market.
Depends on how "new" they need to be. Do you mean anything that came out in the last year or do you mean like getting into some ICO? If you mean do I buy into ICO coins that is not on any exchange yet than I do not do that anymore. I stopped getting into ICO's because I do not invest into anything that has not been done yet, I need to see the coin and how it is run by the team before I get into the coin.
However if you mean do I get into a coin that is already on exchanges but recently got in and just a coin that is a year old and not that much further than I may depending on how well it is run. If the team improves the coin constantly and doing marketing really actively and have a good community that is supporting it than there is no reason for me to not get in (I still do not get in if there was a big increase recently).
