However, I think there is nothing bad if you risk little. If you have had the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin, the love and passion to see Bitcoin grow shouldn't stop one from looking at other opportunities. There are many alcoins that have printed life changing profits that you can take and still invest the money back into Bitcoin and you will be getting rich and richer in Bitcoin, that's what a smart maximalist should do and not hate every ideas.
How ever, I also agree with you that it's not totally a bad idea to risk a little. Take for example, there were investors that bought BNB and ETH for not more than $5 during their early days and if those investors held their coins till date, it would have been a very big profit for them too.
There are some genuine project developers who also have plans to create a good successful project that they can develop and go to the moon and if we are lucky enough to catch those kind of project during their early stage and risk some money on the coin or token, that will be a huge profit in the future. Despite that am not investing into alt coins, am not completely against it.
