Altcoins like Cardano and Avalanche provide alternative approaches to scalability, governance, and decentralization. Yet their success depends on adoption, community support, and real-world utility.
Exploring altcoins critically teaches how innovation and market perception interact. Each project offers lessons in risk management, ecosystem growth, and the dynamics of supply and demand.How do you assess an altcoin’s potential versus its inherent risk?
Depends on which altcoin you are going to invest. If you go on the top 20 altcoins, then maybe there is risk but not that big.
As compare to let's say a meme coin or shitcoin, if you don't have that experience and then just randomly throw money on them and think that you will make a lot of money, then that is the risk. Because as what others said, it's a dangerous investment, as it's pure of manipulation and pump and dump.
So with that, the risk is very high and the chances are slim that you can make it alive unless you are very very lucky.
