It is too risky to invest in these days because market is too down and also the price of altcoins is too low due to price of bitcoin ( Bitcoin also altcoin ). In this market situation, if you invest your money you can get profit from 100x to 200x. But on the other side, it is too risky to loss your investment 
It's too risky to invest in Altcoins that are under the top 10 Altcoins, followed by bearish market conditions, of course all Altcoin values will go down as well as Bitcoin, but on the other hand, if we take advantage of this situation to invest in either Altcoins or bitcoin, I think this one way to get profits in the long term. so actually investing in altcoins is not too risky, if you want to be safe you should rely on bitcoin as the main handle.
