While I'm a big fan of altcoins, it'll be very risky betting on them now that the market is down. A sudden bitcoin one digit correction sees altcoins dumping in their numbers with two digits losses. Best best now would be betting on bitcoin to recovery then when that becomes a success then the altcoins can come into the picture.

Don't go putting all you bets on altcoins that might disappoint as bitcoin spikes without taking most altcoins or any with it. And even though you want to go in on altcoin then it should be high market cap coins that already has the trust and fund invested in them with fundamentals and not just over hyped projects only getting attention because some rich dudes says so.
