It's an oppurtunity if you are invested in the long run. Not for the faint hearted. I am investing all I have. I rather go big or go home. You can always earn money but you will regret a wasted opportunity.
I agree with you the price of alternatives coins goes down is opportunity for us to getting large of cryptocurrencies in this discounts, but it will be working if we make investment in alternatives coins for long term investment. But it is bad to investment for short term because all of cryptocurrencies price is down trend, so actually it is depends on our strategy of investment short term investment or long term investment in cryptocurrencies.
