Investing in crypto currency is still very worth it, so don't worry, invest your money in some altcoins with strong fundamentals,
I think for now it's XRP, because look at Ripple, it's currently on good news and can pump up to 100%.
Remember that XRP has also not been positive since 2018, and it is likely that XRP will reach a new ATH in 2023 or 2024.
With a positive news XRP is gaining momentum but always find ways to learn more about the project before you invest your money, I mean before deciding to invest make sure that you know what are the qualification of the project, you need to have sets of list that will give you good insight if the project is for long term or short-term investment.
News and every detail around are important factors as well, as most of the time it's being used by the traders and investors to start placing their money and position their entries.
