Of course, it is quite interesting to see the new projects appear on the market but one must also remember that sticking to the coins with history can be a good strategy. This will help to make an idea about their stability and future outlook since the best performers have a clearly demonstrated track record. However, as much as there are development occurring, one has to be careful to avoid being let down when making a certain decision. In any case, it is possible to noted that financial management in this case needs much more efforts, so each step made in an investment must be considered. Still, risks are always inevitable and to make a good preparation against all adversities possible in crypto market, it is much better if we have deeper regard on specific as insights to the chosen assets above.
Yeah, one of the values of old coins is that they provide us with insights into the behavior of the crypto market in previous cycles, from which we can build investment strategies for the present and the future. This is something we cannot find in new coins, we even find it very difficult to predict their fluctuations because they are too new and have a very short price chart on TradingView ^^
In addition to BTC and ETH, most old coins will carry higher risks compared to potential new coins, because old coins may no longer be chosen and supported by large funds in the market. Currently in the top 100, we still see many old coins but most of them cannot achieve the impressive price increase like the new coins in the top 100.
I assumed you are talking with experience and how much knowledge you have gained so far from the cryptocurrency space and of course when you do analysis correctly or had followed the cryptocurrency market for years you would be able to factor out how the overall market behavior and reactions does over the past periods of time.
From my understanding I have begining to understand same thing from the market as well, so, let take LTC or EOS as an example; when you look at this coin you would see that there is no much significant impact on their market because investors who had invested on time has actually pulled of their investment to a more newer and vibing project that would yield profit to them, than focusing the old coins.
Although, I still agreed with that some of the reputed coin like ethereum Bitcoin or top 10 altcoins are doing well today because they have enough market order or request (liquidity) and their trading volume are higher couples that they are most preferred coin. Now, with newer coin, you can invest and make significant amount from your investment but then, there must be thorough investigation and analysis before one could venture into such investments on new projects because we can't entirely predict what they holds to their investors if such projects is a long last one or they only with intention to scam people of their good funds.
