You can try buy some altcoins with perspective future, but firstly your should analyze project,idea and team of coin which you want to buy on hold
It's a terrible suggestion for a newbie. First of all newbies don't have the experience to tell which alts are good and which of them aren't, reading the wp can be the most boring thing so they would just end up throwing their money into a random project hoping to end up winning like in a lottery.
Agree with you universe_ , how to find a good ico & make investment on them is not easy to understand,
sure that person end up with hating this market.
better take some time and make some learning about this market.
