Puts a lot into perspective.
All time lows which you can profit at the very least. Just not focus on Bitcoin and you can profit enough.
Plus all those prices are still pretty above the ICO price. and by far 1000% above it.
as an investment, and specially when it comes to long term (meaning anything more than a year) you can not find anything in the whole world (not just among cryptocurrencies) that can outperform bitcoin. specially since it is not only about profit but the risks too. and the risks of investing in bitcoin compared to the profit of it is minimal.
when it comes to short term (from a couple of hours to about a week) you can be correct about shitcoins, and shittokens of ICOs. they can get pumped and give you a lot of profit but that profit only lasts a short time and the risks are astronomically high.
