For now collecting tokens (ERC20) is a waste of time. I say to keep tokens that have no potential or have no price and store them in a trustwallet or other wallet. So I say it's a waste of time, because gas costs are very high. I have a lot of tokens, estimated around $ 10 from each token. but I can't do anything, because it's like I said. gas costs are too high.
Depends on the project you are collecting of course. Some altcoin are highly valuable. Most of the tokens are risky but if you find a good altcoin that could surge high then you can see a good result. Bitcoin and major crypto are good but seeing some tokens especially on the defi are becoming a good profits. Yield farming is also one of the profitable style now and many have shifted on this.
