I’m not just talking about buying discounted tokens. On days when the market is down across the board, information appears that is hidden on other days. If you look at the top 200 coins by market cap, only 18 of them are in the green at the time I’m writing this. Is it possible those are some of the more bullish projects in the space right now? I think so. Maybe someone with more experience can comment on that.

Today I created a new CoinGecko account with a ‘instant email’ via guerillamail.com (quickest way I could find to make a new account). Then I added those 18 tokens to my portfolio. Now I will login to that account periodically to track their progress and research the projects. Theoretically I should wait for a price drop to buy any of these, but some of them could be decent buys if their upward momentum is that strong.

I’m not saying this is a great strategy to make profits, I’m saying it’s a good way to educate yourself on market movements. The other thing I learned today is it’s a bad idea to have all your funds in alts/btc/eth, because on days like this you become paralyzed (you don’t want to sell anything and take a substantial loss). If I had 30% of my funds in USDT, I would be able to make some good moves today.

btw here are the 18 gainers from the past 24 hours (will have changed by now):

KSM(15%) DOT(6%) TRX(8%) XEM(3%) UMA(1%) YFI(6%) EWT(4%) BTT(1%) LRC(11%) AR(3%) JST(9%) AKRO(22%) TRAC(32%) TRADE (32%) BASED(59%) NEC(15%) AVA(6%) SBREE(25%)
