The task of a retail trader is not to gain some advantage over the big players and manipulators. This is impossible. His task is to have time to snatch his piece of liquidity. This is possible only if risk and money management are observed. The main mistake of altcoin investors is that they do not have time to realize their profits in time and continue to keep the asset further, thinking that it will grow constantly.
Not sure what "friendly deposit" means here. It can benefit small investors just as it can make their holdings worth zero.
Any asset can lead to such an outcome if it is not properly disposed of, even on bitcoin every year people lose billions of dollars, but this is not the fault of bitcoin, this is the fault of the people themselves, who, without the necessary knowledge and strategy, commit erroneous actions.
It appears to me valuable when I examine cryptos like Terra Luna, BitConnect, FTT, OneCoin and probably many others that went zero overnight.
If you give examples, then indicate the full history of these assets, and not just those points that are beneficial to your theory:
-Terra LUNA gave its investors x200 profit in 1 year.
-BitConnect grew from 70 cents to $400 in six months
-FTT increased from $2 to $80 in 3 years
-Onecoin is generally an incorrect example, because it was never traded, it was a financial pyramid disguised as a crypto project.
It is not entirely clear what you are trying to refute with your examples? That investing in altcoins is dangerous in the long run? I didn't claim it. I say that altcoins are very good for short or medium term speculation and even your examples prove my words perfectly.
