Don't go around packing some shitcoins to take advantage of altcoin season, I had a friend who is doing this presently thinking that the market will perform just like 2017 bull market where many shitcoins brings insane amount of profits for their holders, as you can see presently only top altcoins are benefiting the most out of the present bullrun, it's more about project's use cases and utilities, not some unrealistic Hypes anymore
Its really a tough way to get profited from those shitcoin .You said your friend is buying as a hope that market will behaved like 2017 but i don't think so .Trader are learning from their hard time and will never bought such a coin in high price .So it is always a risky investment like gamble .Don't try it aging you can afford to loose your investment .
