Yes, sure. One thing is certain in this market: there are ups and downs. So definitely, alts will crash.
But the coupling with BTC is what kills it the most. But this will definitely change. We are already seeing this somewhat with ETH: when you look at coin charts with ETH pairings they show less coupling with BTC.
We still have a long way to go, however. But one thing that you can do is invest with coins that show promise in utility, and not just profit.. like MeVu. With that assurance, you can weather the storms with much more comfort.
