A lot of speculation has been made regarding that altcoins are dead we have seen fewer initial coin offering this year and part of those few has been a failed venture.
But never the less that is certainly not the end of altcoins
Running a lost as an altcoin investor can be easy because there are various altcoin out there And so many are poorly managed.
You can cut your losses to some extent by.
*investing in several top altcoin(spread your investment)
*seeking expert opinion
*disregard shilling or FUD
And if you must move a way from established altcoins
*study the volume
*check on the project owners reputation
*compare and contrast the white paper, potential investors and future possibilities of the coin.
And one major key for every cryptocurrency investor is patience and hold I repeat you your altcoin
If you are more attentive, then you can see that in cryptocurrencies (Altcoins among them), there is a new round or trend change, call it what you want. For example, on the ethereum from the beginning of the year it was possible to get 100% ROI. I think if you analyze other Altcoins, it will be about the same.
As experience shows, official documents of projects have practically no value. Do not rely on them. Probably there is more to believe in intuition and technical analysis.
