Hi guys,

I was wondering if it is dangerous to invest in new Altcoins? I mean, when you look at all the charts, every new coin launches pretty high, or it increases to a high peak and after that it decreases every time. Lots of altcoins are freefalling. So, the question is, are the lot of them a pure pump&dump scheme or a scam so the developer can cash in pretty big? I mean what is the point of all the altcoins when they don't "innovate" over the altcoins; i.e. NXT/QRK coins are indeed an innovation over BTC in the sense it has at least another encryption method.

If we're being honest most are just get rich quick attempts. Very few offer anything new or have any longterm goals or have any longevity. So yes, investing in altcoins can be a dangerous investment, but so can any other investments.
