DCA comes in handy here. At every dip lies a potential buying opportunity. Just like the case of FTX where price plunged so dip and that is what has kept the price hovering around $16k-$17k for a while now in which buying each time a new dip forms becomes a strategy of its own.

One has to be extremely careful in collecting potential Alts. Most of the failed Alt coin were potential Alts, just like the case of LUNA. I think cryptocurrency that is centralized has higher chances of getting compromised along the line, either by intention or by unforeseen circumstances. If one must collect Alts it shouldn't be with the hope that they have potentials even if they do. But with so much caution and risking what can be affordable in case things goes sore.
