In my ideas when we invest in Altcoins because we see that Bitcoin is still one of the most stable valuations of price volatility on a regular basis. The Altcoins are more exponential. Because they have a low market price, the altcoin market is prone to price manipulation. So if we invest in low cost Altcoins the amount is high once the high BTC price makes it easy to earn high profits and get rich quickly. When investing Altcoins i advise you to be careful and learn them clearly.
Altcoins are higher risk and potentially higher reward. If you are risk averse you should avoid it, but if you don't get anxious when your loose 20% over night and look at the long terms then it can get you much farther. Besides every loss is only a paper loss until you actually sell.
