As an investor, i did a lots of invest in altcoins. Those were suppose to be good that time with having good hype, good team and community. But with having all of thats, most of altcoins scam after a time! I wonder for some altcoins, they were suppose not to be go but they scammed without any reason! And hundreds of altcoins are in my wallet, which are turn into dead shitcoin now.
This is why it's important to invest in knowledge as a cryptocurrency investors because this knowledge will help you identify the fact that some of these coins have got timing and if you are ignorant of their timing, you will most definitely not be able to get the best out of them. Some of those coins were created to promote certain projects and once they are done, if they don't have a strong community behind the coin to further push the coin to become valued and probably listed on major exchanges, they definitely turn out shit coins at the end of the day because they are not valued. So before you hop on any of such project, be sure to know what purpose for which the coin was created, and the community behind it how strong they are.
