There's no need to panic if you missed the Bitcoin surge. Holding altcoins is fine; the concern is if the coins you've chosen are too weak. If you don't know how to pick good altcoins, here's a simple method:
First, open the USDT trading pair on BN and sort by trading volume. Select those with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $100 million, indicating active trading and good liquidity. Then further filter based on market popularity, reputation, and chip distribution. The simplest way is to check if these coins will rise alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
I generally categorize altcoins into four types:
Mainstream coins: such as ETH, SOL, BNB, and temporarily including SUI;
Sub-mainstream coins: like PEPE, WIF, NEIRO on the BN chain, and AAVE;
Non-mainstream coins: such as Virtual and PNUT, which are niche coins;
New coins: popular new coins that have just emerged (like Jin Dog or Tu Dog), but be cautious of the risks associated with significant short-term volatility.
Whether you're looking to invest a small amount for high returns or seeking a more stable profit, choosing coins based on these categories can generally meet your needs while controlling risk. Just avoid blindly chasing those small coins with no trading volume.
