Everyone has different risk tolerance when it comes to altcoins.
Some like to play it safe and only invest in top 10 coins, that is fine if you are happy with a 3-5x this bull run.
But if you want more returns then you have to go further down the list and take more risk.
I have a mixture, with the likes of XRP however i got into it below $0.50 last year, I would feel a bit uncomfortable buying it now at $2.50 but I do believe it can see $10 this year so if you are happy with a 4x return then go for it.
And just on DOGE, i have never been interested in this however it hit $0.46 a few months ago and I see no reason why it wont hit $0.75 - $1 later this year once the bull run really gets going so that would still be decent return from current price of $0.17.
When I jump into altcoins, i can tell my risk comfort really steers me. I love the idea of big wins, but man, it can get wild. I stick to the top 10 coins a lot, they're safe and I get okay profits without freaking out. Smaller coins tempt me though they could play off huge even if they feel like a rollercoaster.
I mix it up, keeping some steady ones and tossing in a few risky picks. It's like a middle ground, safe but with a chance for more. Timing's a big ideal too. I kick myself thinking about XRP at $2.50 when I could've got it under $0.50 totally changes the game. I remember DOGE going nuts in bull runs and I wonder if that's coming again.
I've got to dig in and research not just hoe. Crypto's fun but I try to play it smart and not lose it all.
