Cryptocurrencies that appear to have flat charts when zoomed out are often the ones that will experience the most significant price increases when investment capital flows into them.
"In many cases, you'll also see a live chart button or a trading view button for a more detailed view, though this isn't available for every crypto. Believe it or not, though, the price isn't the main thing to look at. That's because it's common for a crypto to have lots of activity in the short term, even if the chart looks flat when zoomed out. In fact, the cryptos that are flat are often the cryptos that end up pumping the most when money starts flowing in."
Crypto Market Trends

Smaller altcoins, characterized by lower market capitalization, are inherently more volatile than larger ones due to the lower capital required to significantly impact their price.
"It's much easier for a crypto with a $100 million market cap to 2x than it is for one with say a10 billion market cap to do the same. And this is also why smaller altcoins tend to be far more volatile."

To balance risk and reward, a crypto portfolio should include a mix of large-cap (over $1 billion market cap), mid-cap ($100 million to $1 billion market cap), and small-cap (under $100 million market cap) cryptocurrencies within a chosen category.
"Create a list of cryptos in your chosen category with a mix of large cap, that is market caps over $1 billion, midcap, more than $100 million but less than $1 billion, and small cap cryptos, that's less than $100 million. This will balance your risks and rewards."
Crypto Portfolio Strategy

A cryptocurrency's price potential is directly linked to its accessibility for purchase by investors, particularly noting the significant influence of US-based investors.
"After all, other investors need to be able to buy it for the price to rise. And the US has the largest share of crypto investors."
Crypto Market Accessibility

A healthy distribution of cryptocurrency holders, with no single wallet holding a disproportionately large percentage (excluding exchange or smart contract wallets), is desirable to mitigate the risk of sudden price crashes.
"Now, ideally, you'll see thousands of holders and no wallets holding large percentages since they could suddenly sell and crash the price. The exceptions though are wallets marked with an exchange icon or this smart contract icon."

Market capitalization is a primary indicator of a cryptocurrency project's size and significance.
"The bigger the market cap, the bigger the project. Bitcoin has the biggest market cap, which is why it tops the list."
Cryptocurrency Market Cap
Pending
Smaller market cap altcoins are more prone to significant price movements (both up and down) compared to larger cap cryptocurrencies.
"It's much easier for a crypto with a $100 million market cap to 2x than it is for one with say a10 billion market cap to do the same. And this is also why smaller altcoins tend to be far more volatile."

Seed phrases for cryptocurrency wallets should be written on physical paper, never stored digitally, and kept secret to prevent permanent loss of access to assets.
"Write this down on a bit of paper, not on a digital file. And do not share this with anyone. If you lose this seed phrase, you'll lose access to your crypto forever."

A balanced portfolio of altcoins should include a mix of large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap projects to manage risk and reward.
"Create a list of cryptos in your chosen category with a mix of large cap, that is market caps over $1 billion, midcap, more than $100 million but less than $1 billion, and small cap cryptos, that's less than $100 million. This will balance your risks and rewards."

Conducting small test transactions before large cryptocurrency transfers is a recommended practice, acting as an insurance policy against significant loss due to errors.
"Yes, you could pay more in fees, but consider this an insurance policy. It's much better to lose a few cents than lose everything."

The accessibility of an altcoin on major exchanges, particularly those accessible to US investors, is crucial for its price appreciation.
"After all, other investors need to be able to buy it for the price to rise. And the US has the largest share of crypto investors."

A cryptocurrency that has remained flat for several years may indicate underlying issues and warrants further investigation.
"If the price has been flat for several years, that could be a red flag, and it's worth digging into what caused the decline later on."
Altcoin Price Action Analysis
Pending
High trading volume generally signifies strong demand for a cryptocurrency, provided the price is not actively falling.
"The higher the trading volume, the higher the demand, assuming prices aren't plummeting."
Altcoin Trading Volume

A cryptocurrency with a large portion of its supply already in circulation reduces the risk of price devaluation due to future token releases.
"If most of the supply is already in circulation, there's less risk of new tokens flooding the market and driving prices down."
Altcoin Supply
Pending
A large number of followers on social media without corresponding engagement (comments, likes, posts) is a warning sign for a crypto project.
"A high follow account with little to no engagement is another red flag."
Altcoin Social Media Engagement
Pending
A healthy altcoin will have a large number of holders, with no single wallet holding a significant percentage of the supply to prevent price manipulation.
"Ideally, you'll see thousands of holders and no wallets holding large percentages since they could suddenly sell and crash the price."
Altcoin Holder Distribution
Pending
Overly complex or incomplete documentation for a crypto project is a significant red flag.
"A big red flag is if it's overly complicated or missing key details."
Altcoin Documentation

Performing a small test transaction before a large transfer is a recommended security measure to avoid losing all assets due to errors.
"Do a small test transaction first. Yes, you could pay more in fees, but consider this an insurance policy. It's much better to lose a few cents than lose everything."
