For me it's a big yes. It's fully depends on how much you understand this market. There are more than 8k alts available in the market. And most of them are not very good. So if you don't know how to pick altcoins then you could lose your money. If you are new I would suggest you to put your money in large cap coins. And learn about the market. When you know this market then you could put your money anywhere you wnat.
