A perfect strategy will be to “Buy the Rumour, and Sell the News” – that is, buy in anticipation, hold and sell once the coin’s price pumps in response to the news.
Also, to stay updated with information on any of the altcoin projects, following their Twitter page is helpful, as most development updates are posted on their social media handles; especially for the Crypto Twitter (CT) community.
Here’s a definition of keywords in this publication:
1. Mainnet: refers to a fully developed and to be deployed blockchain protocol, meaning that cryptocurrency transactions can now be broadcasted, verified, and recorded on a distributed ledger.
2. Staking: This involves holding funds in a cryptocurrency wallet to support the security and operations of the coin’s blockchain network. In simple terms, staking is the act of locking cryptocurrencies to receive rewards.
3. Testnet: Opposite of mainnet networks, the term testnet refers to when a blockchain or cryptocurrency network is not yet up and running at its full capacity.
A testnet is used by developers to test all the aspects and features of a blockchain network before it is certified ready for the mainnet launch.
In other words, a testnet is an experimental blockchain project, while a mainnet is a completely developed blockchain platform for users to send and receive cryptocurrency transactions.
