I recently shifted some focus from Bitcoin to altcoins. In the beginning, I chased hype and it didn’t go well. The times I did better were when I slowed down, read about the project, and made my own decision instead of following noise.
Shifting focus from bitcoin to altcoins is not a perfect idea for me, so i don't know how this suites you, but the best is for you to have bitcoin and then some altcoins that are reputable in addition, not even now that bitcoin has been performing well this season, while others have not been in their season to that extent.
It feels like patience pays more than hype-chasing in this space
Patience pays, however, you have to be more careful because the market can be more surprising to us in any way we least expect from it to take some while before we can be profitable in whatever we do, once we are able to invest on the right coin, which is the main ultimate challenge.
