I wish we have a good thread on potential "hidden gems" meaning that whoever posts anything about this "hidden gem" project should honestly discuss not only project advantages but potential problems / pitfalls. Pros and cons so that whoever reads it should have a bit of a balanced opinion rather than hearing only good things about the project.
They can't attract anyone if they post possible problems here. So all they can post are the positive aspects of the project. That is the easiest path to encourage naive investors. I agree with you, they should also list the possible problem, and how the developer addresses it.
downside is the high volatility (big price moves)
high risk is needed for the potential of high returns
So how will the project mitigate this high risk so that it can be acceptable when it comes to risk management calculation?
