OP, just HODL Bitcoin, and you wouldn’t have to worry “when to exit at the appropriate time”. Because at the “right time”, no HODLer would need to sell their coins. Bitcoin will be accepted EVERYWHERE. It’s starting in El Salvador, and it’s not going to end there.

Of course I hodl Bitcoin but I had to go into investing on these altcoin as I couldn't afford to purchase 1Btc at a time. So what I literally do is take profit on these altcoins and buy more Bitcoin regardless of whatever price its sitting.
That is the way for other people to make a big profit from the altcoin to have a chance to purchase 1 BTC in the future. Getting much profit in altcoin will allow you to have much money. Perhaps, my only suggestion is to get out when the price reaches the highest price so, at that time, you will make a big profit and do not back to that coin because the price has a chance to drops. You need to have a target price to sell and place the order sell before reaching your target price.
