I saw something on a friend of mine iPhone I was amazed, this guy has 3 pieces of bitcoin but he didn't look it when you look at him with mere eyes, I ask him how he has come this far, he told long ego he was seriously investing on all kinds of coins with little amount of bitcoin but then most of those coins help him to realized enough amount to buy more bitcoin because that was his primary target. He normally buys those zero value coins when they appreciates it will be enough money, and that's how he convert and swag all to bitcoin and today, he has 3 piece. Is good to be diversified in your investment, somedays something good will come out of one you don't expect.
The problem with these altcoins is that even if you buy them at zero value, you will never know if their value will truly appreciate in the future that’s why some invested on them and end up regretting, wishing they only stick to bitcoin regardless of its quite expensive price. I guess your friend was just lucky that time, because if he insist it doing again these days, surely he will only suffer from great losses.
It is better to trust ALT coins very little because these coins may not bring you good. Some amount of ALT coins can be trusted but should not be over trusted. Here you have made it clear about investing in ALT coins by just saying that even after buying ALT coins with zero amount we still need to know whether the value of this coin will work in future. Bitcoin can always be a very good choice as compared to ALT coin when it comes to investment. Investing in this coin can be expected to achieve good things in the future.
