You can sell your altcoins now before it gets even worse, alt coins aren't going to pump soon and even when they do, only the big projects with high market cap will pump because they have the most trust at the moment from investors.
The altcoins season is coming after Bitcoin cross its previous all time high because that's when people will start believing we are in a bull market and for that to happen, Bitcoin halving has to have been done which is happening next year.
Sometimes it's better to take some loss and move on than to lose it all because we were waiting for a recover but the market or that particular project didn't recover. If you want to buy Bitcoin, don't hesitate, buy it immediately.
I agree Bitcoin is safest long term hold but don't want to sell my altcoins now.
I have some altcoins that are up , some even and some as much as 25% down but feel they will recover.
Some may go to zero but as long as a couple do well next bull run I will be up.
As long as you are choosing altcoins that have a working product, it will certainly be pumping once the market is bullish. We can really say that altcoins are more profitable than Bitcoin for short-term plans and so people are buying them. Besides, it was a good choice either especially for hyped riders, they'll make money too easy. Because what I see is that investing Bitcoin is only good for long-term, we can take them during the bear season and then take altcoins when the bull season is coming near.
