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.
Altcoin is also like other cryptocurrency the price is keep on changing, it will rise sometimes or down. It doesnt mean we have to give up our coin when the price is down. My opinion is to wait the right time to sell your altcoin. We might face different obstacles still dont give up.
