Some altcoins or let's say that they are many now that are becoming fake and being soft launched in the market. They're just testing the waters if they're going to become popular and gain volume. But not all of them are fake, we know that there are legitimate ones and is being used by many like the top ones. If you're in the new ones, you'll have to deal with the risk that they bear usually when they come out freshly to the market. So if you have earned like the new releases and they're being listed in good exchanges, you won't call them fake because you earn upon dumping it.
We should never triggered positions in the market without mapping good strategies, instead let the market comes to us, triggered our buy and sell limits. Our opinions differs depending on our experience in the system, there are numerous projects we have encounter, some turn out to be legit and profitable while others are scammed projects that embezzled all our initial capital, leaving us in deep regrets. I'm not following the trends, rather sticking to price actions, because that's one of the smooth techniques in the process of generating substantial capital. Most altcoins are fake, they mostly turned into scam projects in the space.
