Some Risks Of Hodling Alts for Long-Term

[Cryptoz]

Alright.
Delisted, shitcoins, scams, not valuable tokens, not listed coin on exchanges, and big volatility may be the risks of holding the coins for the longer time period. Moreover is about the end of being the dead coin. This hurts.But we know the risks and we are brave enough or not to take the risks.

For too long, you can hold those altcoins that are developing, if you see tokens from those companies that are currently developing and constantly releasing various updates, then you can without thinking hold these tokens.

I think holding down an altcoin for the long term can be very profitable and a bit of a risk, I believe that someday altcoin will have a better price and soar, and even you can get a big profit from holding altcoins, and choose a large altcoin to hold, because I think it's better for the long term.

Unfortunately, many altcoins, after getting into our wallets, never fly up in price. However, I agree that investing in altcoins is quite profitable, it is only necessary to at least slightly understand their projects and have information about their prospects. Even if some of our investments are successful, our costs will pay off and bring good profits.

Yes you are totally right my friend.
I see that some of my coins from 2017 are inactive - dead.
I also missed a couple of swaps and lost my tokens. How can I keep track of them all???
Delisting also made me lose a little money...
Holding alts when there is a bear market is wrong.

I missed information about swap tokens and was late in selling when holding coins or tokens, this was very tiring when I could not see the update of information and left the crypto market because my work outside was crowded. But from there I could learn the importance of information from each token. or coins that we invest

I don't think there should be any severe risk attached to altcoins held for long term because it is always assumed that before an investor chooses to hold a coin for long term, the investor must first perform a thorough study about the coin in order to ascertain the authenticity and capabilities of the coin. Once this is done, the coin in possession will only be subjected to minimal risk levels.

You can minimize risk 1 as stated in the OP but a thorough study alone won't save you from risk 2 (token swaps). I've seen it happen to investors a couple of times already. They've invested in a token they believe has potential, held it for a long time, but never followed the news. Not following the news/updates while holding long term is a severe risk.

Well some good information  you have posted.. i read it.. i dnt have any altcoin.. recently i exchanged from OSS company...so now i have empty wallet...

[TERENCIO]

I've experienced the bad stuff of keeping alts for long term on exchanges.  I had some alts before but too lazy to move it from exchanges to my personal wallet and the exchange was shut down and I am not able to recover it. The other risk if their is no volume and the alts will eventually die.

Yes, unfortunately, it's true. Alts often just fall with time, just a few of them rise.

[Bobcrypto]

Its very good ideal to hold altcoin with adequate information. And beside following them on all social media platforms, get to know some of the team members of the project and get yourself farmiliarized with them for adequate information.

That happens for shit-altcoins. Most of them are new altcoins. So, it is one of the reasons why holding new altcoins is very risky, even it also happens for some old altcoins. Because of the risk, we need more careful in analyzing an altcoin to choose for a long term investment.

[Unbunplease]

It is necessary to carefully select those coins that are held for long term.  A lot of coins quickly complete their life cycle, unfortunately.  And only the most stable platforms remain for a long time.

You are right. When we want to have a long term investment, then choose the most potential altcoins only. Be careful and more selective to choose because there is a high risk for holding low volume altcoins. I think there are many options/choices for good altcoins. Just find out them with good research.
