So easy to say but very hard to follow Especially for long term investors. It's never a pleasant thing to invest in a coin and then watch your investment go low. I have come to realize that in any situation of the market, patience is much needed and also your choice of coins for investment and time of investment also matters. A simple way out is to plan your funds, dont fomo, buy at more dip, take profit at intervals.
Coin selection is a major factor for long-term investment or trading. for me if we are not smart to choose, we will only be trapped in the type of coin that eventually becomes trash. This is not very good and it will only make our profits decrease, so don't waste your assets on investing in coins that have no potential
usually fundamentally an altcoin can be bullish, but fundamentals alone are not enough for altcoins,
TA and community strength must also be in line with their fundamental, in this altcoin season I think altcoin projects that have a strong community will start pumping, like Doge, next me think will be on XRP and Tron.
I agree with the fundamentals you are proposing, having a strong and active community will certainly help in pumping the project. Doge for sure seems to be one of those Alts that have this but I wouldn't put my money on XRP or Tron. These could pump but there might be better, low market cap coins that can easily multiply the return several times such as VTHO or Kava.
