It's possible that a crypto investor gets so caught up in researching a new coin that they miss the perfect moment to jump in, resulting in a lost chance for those massive 100x returns. Has this happened to you?

I have missed many of them but which also saves me from losing high amount of money on the shit coins. You will see some that you will invest on, they will be listed on exchanges and become dump and dump. Dump and dump means they will not increase in price at all but start to fall after listing. While some may be pumped, but while being greedy and still holding it, it will fall back.

I have missed a few of those opportunities before. In fact, in some cases, I had invested but thinking I had done bad research, I sold them early only to later realize they became great projects that could give 90x to 100x returns. This has happened to me many times. Since then, I find it hard to focus on new projects again, because the ones I leave often the ones I had high hopes for end up doing really well, while the ones I stay in turn out to be bad or dump projects. So now, what I do is just invest a small amount of money into existing projects that have been around for a long time and show great potential for the future. The point is, investing in new projects seems like a matter of luck these days. It’s always an easy way to either lose funds or make huge profits.

I don't know if that's a 100x potential gain. But I did my research as well but it seems that the coins that I've done that to were the wrong coins. Sometimes, it's also about the bias that we think and it becomes opinion over the research that we do. I've missed a lot of opportunities to be honest and I am at that point of regretting it. I can't do anything about that anymore but to walk slowly and trust the process with what I know that I'll be better with and that's through simply and slow accumulation, DCA of bitcoin.

Very well put. Both outcomes are possible. So which part you align with more for future coin launches ?

Almost everyone who's been in the crypto community for a long time misses that kind of event. The question is, can we still experience it in this day and age? I think so, yes, but it seems hard to pinpoint which coins have that 100x potential again. Especially since most of the hype now is only temporary, and then it's uncertain if they'll hit 100x. Most coins now only perform well at the start. But I really hope our altcoin holdings hit 100x so we can finally get a profit from what we hold.

You do whatever you think is best for you. Sometimes it's for the worst, sometimes - for the best. You just try to adapt and be better next time.

I'm sure almost all crypto investors have missed out on coins that had the potential to increase multiple times in value. But I personally believe that not everyone can maximize that opportunity. Something similar has happened to me several times, where I did a little research on a few new coins. And I really missed out on a lot of opportunities and  even didn't maximize them. But what I often miss are altcoins that have the potential to increase tenfold. So I think it is all about having the confidence to execute. And take profits because I often see people regretting not taking profits. And we need to learn from experiences like this or even more importantly be willing to lose money in order to invest as we don't know what the future holds.

One thing i have always believed since i started this crypto journey is that what is for me will never went against me which bring me to your question,  if i ever miss 100x coin, i will definitely believe that it is not for me and if i see opportunity like the one of trading championship phase 12 and i could use my trading skills to get good reward for me, then i am jumping right to it. Who knows, i may be on the path of getting free bgb.

Such gains are usually made on anonymous platforms, with liquidity controlled by trading bots, making it extremely difficult to execute a sell order at the right time. Trading is much better than betting on something that rarely happens or trying your luck with these anonymous platforms.

We can only hit that gain if we really have huge funds and strong confidence that those alts we buy might come unto that situation. But technically its really hard to spot a coin or token that will undergo in that phase on where it experience some huge percentage upwards. Also you are right since sometimes this is just controlled and been manipulated results by some entities controlling it. But for me I'd rather sell whatever profit show up since I'm really fine taking x2, x5 or even x10 profit. Altcoins are risky and I don't want to hold them up for long months because the risk for losing is so high.

I think its another way around, analyzing the chart and you see it shot up lol.. Bad timing but you are still managing your risk anyway while researching and analyzing!

There are very few coins and tokens that did 100x, whereas there are over ten thousand of them that did very well. This is why it's quite clear that we should not be expecting good return if we keep investing into these things. There is no such thing as "too much research", because as long as you research well, you should be able to do well. I personally believe that researching ins and outs very detailed way is the best thing we can do, and should not be bad at all. I get that it may not be great at the moment, because it may prevent you from making good returns in few cases, but it's great because 99% of the time it prevents you from losing all your money as well. That part is the one you should be focusing on.

I kinda missed $trump, i've seen the post first minute where FDV still low. I thought the account was hacked or something and the CA might be a rug so I decided to wait. Well turns out it's legit meme coin and FDV jumped up so high that I took a position too late. I don't really regret it though after all it's just the cost of being wary with our investment, I'd still be wary about any other meme coins in the future but man I would've made serious money.

It's never happened to me. I rarely wasted so much time in doing a research. however, the main reason that might make me miss the potential token is that worrying to take the risk. I'm thingking for too long whether to put my money or not. I have so many considerations, and this is the main reason i missed it. I believe it's not only me, but many are facing the same problem like me. Sometimes, you must think for twice before you put your saving onto the crypto. If you win that's good, but if you lose, you lose your saving.

This will only happen if you are just running behind 100x gains. We should not always target these high profits but try to think rational. Maybe 20% to 30% profit will be viable behind each investment and we can find a couple of opportunities where we can make these profits instead of spending all our time and efforts in looking for that one single opportunity where you can make 100x. Rather than your research, a 100x pump will also depend on your luck as not every coin is going to show this good returns. It might be possible only if you are caught in good times and enter the markets at the perfect price and set your take profits which will automatically hit even if markets crash badly after doing a 100x. Altcoins does have this ability which I can't deny but expecting this to happen much often might be a mistake and waste of time.

But if you had, do you really have so little conscience that taking part in scamming so many people out of so much would be okay with you? There can be a cost to not robbing banks, not running or participating in ponzi schemes and so on, it is not hard to imagine that lack of ethics can be profitable, but... Really? Is that really who you want to be? -MarkM-

Missing anything altcoins is as good as missing gambling, I never take them seriously and for that reason I don't pay attention to any hyped projects such as this one right here, I have never hard of 100x coin before until this thread and I am not regretting not knowing them either. If you made so good profits from the coin, congratulations but if not, then I will say that you have saved yourself some loses, just like any of us that never took chance in the project.
