The present market place is such a system is insufficient. It is currently dangerous to take altcoins, in light of the fact that Bitcoin still has not felt the base in spite of the fact that we are close by. On the off chance that we take altcoins it is just to work off a bounce back from the dimension of their base.
Altcoin has the same potential as Bitcoin, it's just that Bitcoin has the largest community backing up it's price. But it is still preferable to hold different kind of coins. Diversification also could lessen the potential loss from your investment, just be sure you have picked a better coin to have. There is a big hope that every coin could regain it's value sooner or later.
