Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find new altcoins early?
Follow crypto venture capital announcements, monitor new listings on major exchanges, track developer activity on GitHub, and join community channels. Tradyom's crypto module covers early altcoin discovery methods.
Are altcoins riskier than Bitcoin?
Yes, significantly. Most altcoins lose 90%+ from their all-time highs. Only invest in altcoins with money you can afford to lose entirely. Rami Alame at Tradyom emphasizes BTC and ETH as core holdings before adding altcoin exposure.
When is the best time to buy altcoins?
Historically, the best time is during BTC consolidation phases after a major run-up, when BTC dominance starts declining. This signals capital rotation from BTC into altcoins.
