Every trade definitely has risks, but they are high or not. If we make an investment when market conditions are rising, it will definitely be at high risk and there is a chance that you will experience a loss. So in my opinion understand market conditions before making an investment. However, I am sure that there are many altcoins that we can use as investment tools because the market is fluctuating. So please do your research and invest.
I agree with you. There will always be risks in every trade. If OP asks whether it is still risky to invest in altcoins, I can answer that there will always be risks in altcoins anytime and anywhere. It is impossible to invest in altcoins without risk. More risk in altcoins than bitcoin. But altcoins can generate greater returns than bitcoin.
