Love when people say it's dead.Crypto is only 1 decade old. Just imagine a few years or decades more. Patience could really pay off on altcoins. I see it as a once in a lifetime deal. HODL, if you have money . Who risks nothing has nothing. It could happen again be ready or not.
It could pay off but the risks are higher on altcoins. Taking risks is good, however too much risks make something foolish, such as investing in an altcoin you know is a shitcoin and does really nothing. You could however, make them as speculative investment and just wait for the most profit in your buy/sell orders, but once it goes weak, it would most likely to crash to death.
