Altcoins will continue to drop with all these forks and I don't think this year we will have impressive gains on any of them, Which means it's time for researching and buying into projects you believe in. Remember how huge the surge was this January compared to December. As things look right now, I'm expecting a similar scenario.
For now, the future of altcoin depends on us if we can choose the right altcoin it will be profitable and you can invest in the long term and you may have to wait longer to benefit from it and if you are still able you can buy other better altcoin
