Funny enough that in every Bitcoin cycle, more coins are been added to the market and I wonder which ones are really good for the long term. There are thousands of projects that are launched that I don't even know anything about them right now and trust me, by the time bull market is gone, that's when you will be hearing of their existence after people have sold.
Some projects die as a result of team not doing anything after the bull run. You know that in bull run, team simple announcement can pump a coin but it's very difficult to do that in a bear market.
Getting to decide or pinpoint the right project that’s right and safe for buying and holding for the longer term has always been the problem when it comes to investing in altcoins, this is mostly because, all these projects are just alike and have literally same characteristics and features which of course may likely make making a choice or the right choice seem like an impossible choice.
This is actually the reason I always try to advice investors, especially the newbies to stay clear off these projects, at least for their own sake, because it’s very easy to delve into the wrong project without even knowing and then investing and losing all their funds in a twinkle of an eye.
