this here is the heart of the problem. you and most everyone else keep saying "the market" as if all the 2000 altcoins are the same thing moving together! of course we have majority of them getting dumped when the dumping time comes but that is "majority" not all.

instead of fooling yourself with things like "portfolio" and miss the huge profit that is out there, you have to start looking at where the rest of the money is going.
for example those that are making a living from trading aren't just going to sit around and die of starvation because "the market" is dumping! no they are elsewhere making a lot of profit while the newbies bag hold the altcoins that are dumping and calling it "portfolio"
