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.
The term altcoin is a broader one as there are thousands of shit coins in the market, which coin are you talking about to be specific, there is nothing wrong in investing in the top coins in the market which are successful, i would avoid any token projects as majority are scam or end up closing their shop once they dump the coin in the market. The market is all about bitcoin and it is not a big surprise the rest of the coins revolve around the valuation of bitcoin.
