Only a few people are lucky to make such an amount investing in altcoins. The majority of them either got scammed or the coin lost value quickly. I wouldn't advise anybody who doesn't understand how the complicated altcoin market works to invest heavily in the industry. I know people are always attracted by these kinds of stories, but it will be fair if the risks attached to such investments are also explained. Newbies should invest in Bitcoin or other well established coins they are familiar with. But if they want to get rich quickly, they should be prepared to bear the risk and endure its outcome.
