It is not an easy task to make profit from altcoins "consistently" thats the problem. I do not know if there is any situation that could be done any other way, but altocins are seasonal, which means that you can't make profit from them at all times. So all that "generating benefits to investors" things are also seasonable as well.
You could find yourself in a bull period and its not unheard of to turn 5k into 5 million, people have done it if they are lucky a few times, there are many that goes x100 easily, because its the bull run. But there are people who lost %99 during the bear crash as well, so you have to really know where you are standing. If you are looking for an up, then you should be careful about how much, if you wait too long to get even higher, you may fall instead.
