sad to say you've been laid off, but in any cases altcoin is also a good way for long term investments and it really is. once you sell at low peak it is the time you lose eventually but when you will just hold it as if it is your savings then who might know maybe one day it might help you a lot or maybe the price and its value will be higher, not for now but every other day is a new day once you are holding some alt coins.
