I don't understand why people take so much risk in altcoins, when Bitcoin itself brings such great returns. Most serious investors in the world have targets at 3 to 5% a month. Bitcoin gave more than 400% this year.

Yes, but to earn some significant amount of money you need a lot of money to start with. And most of people do not have that kind of money. That is where altcoin get in the game. Also fluctuation in altcoin price make it faster to turn money around and earn by doing that, but that also improves risk for people who doesn't follow market and don't have good info. Also some people are not satisfied with just holding Bitcoin and waiting for the price to go up. It is not that simple as you think...
