many choices, the price is relatively cheaper than bitcoin and the opportunity to make more profit. Maybe there are some benefits if I spend more of my money investing in altcoin and holding it for the long term. But the negative value that I found is that the influence of bitcoin is too big on altcoin until now.
Waiting long term to get profit can be very unbearable, if one have to invest in altcoin he or she must be ready for a very long journey because altcoins aren't like bitcoin that can bring lose today and bring profit the next day
Where ever you go you will have this risk so instead of avoiding it by not making the investment we should be ready to face it and be brave to get that profit using several ways. We know the market will always pump and dump so better buy at the pump and keep waiting then until it recovers. Getting a risk of full earning is much better than having nothing.
