The market is based on risk, and it has been said countless times that people should learn to invest only what they can afford to risk. So anyone that is investing in altcoins should know that by now. Such risks are not meant for small investors, they should only invest what they are certain would bring them profit in the future.
It's true that we see news about altcoins that made it huge, but that is not always the case, as most of them tends to become a failure when they are launched.
It is good to be aware that everything is based on risk when it comes to the market, and I feel like risk is normal and people will advise you to take risk because that is one of the way you can even make good profit because people that take risk are the takers, I would not say you should not take risk because you can not keep doing the same thing. Those that have decided they want to invest in Altcoins that's their choice and those that also want to invest, and I see peope saying invest what you can afford to lose, sometimes reverse should be the case but the risk should not be every time, so that you don't risk and lose everything. We know how Altcoins are but sometimes Altcoins is actually not a bad idea if you know the right one to invest in but the best to invest in will continue to be bitcoin, project easy fails a lot this days.
