Ultimately, whatever you do is up to you, and surely it seems to me that even investing into bitcoin for a whole cycle might not be enough to really accumulate a sizable position, even if you might be able to frontload your bitcoin investment.  Another thing if you invest into shitcoins you most likely have to think about them as a trade in terms of when to get in and when to get out of them, and frequently they are not really worth diluting your bitcoin investment by dickering around with shitcoins, but yeah, that is also your choice regarding whether to buy shitcoins and/or how much of your budget you are willing to allocate to shitcoins.  

I frequently suggest no more than 10 % the size of your bitcoin holdings to go into shitcoins and/or trading, yet at the same time, you have to figure out if you have some kind of a compelling reason to invest into shitcoins at a higher rate and/or whether there might be some compelling reason to deviate from such a cap, and surely the more shitcoins that attract your attention then the more your investment in bitcoin potentially get diluted, especially if you are not keeping adequate limitations on your shitcoin and/or trading involvement. and surely I had frequently mentioned to guys that even if they are investing 20% of their income into bitcoin, it is still going to take 5 years for them to get a whole year of their income invested into bitcoin, and so if they dilute their bitcoin investment it will take longer, and surely many folks have difficulties investing even 10% of their income, so that would take 10 years to get to 1 year invested in bitcoin, yet surely if you had already been investing prior to getting into bitcoin, then you surely might have some money (an investment portfolio already built up, and sometimes having an investment portfolio, then you have more to work with if you decide to reallocate some of the already accumulated value of that into bitcoin).

With an investment like bitcoin, we might be striving to get to a point where we might be able to have accumulated enough bitcoin (along with bitcoin's price appreciation) to be able to live off of the income from withdrawing from our bitcoin, which could take at least a couple of cycles to achieve such level of bitcoin accumulation and BTC price appreciation, and perhaps even longer if the investment is diluted into either shitcoins or even undermining the investment by trying to trade it or to overly attempt to time bitcoin price dips that might not end up happening.
