Trading altcoin is good but you need to know what is the best coin you invest to make profit you do research to know what coin jave potential to increase in the future.
The far majority of the altcoins are nothing more than empty projects functioning as pump and dump scheme -- how exactly will research help in these cases? If you happen to invest in these coins, or trade them, it will be nothing more than gambling. If you look at coin projects backed by real developers and a realistic roadmap, they are a far minority, and in most cases already bought up to their justifiable value. Result -- people will jump into pump and dump coins hoping to hit bank.
Not for me, lately I've been seeing altcoin as more valuable investment than bitcoin if you only have a limited amount of money.
There are plenty of altcoins now that has a good potential if you will just try to make a good research, in fact I invested in
ICO and I make good money from it.
Altcoin is one of the best investment that you can do right now because their price is always pumping up even the price of bitcoin is currently high and it means that the altcoins are not letting the people in the bitcoin world to just dominate the cryptocurrency market and even they are not that big names coins they are still trying their best to pump their price to the top.
