Majority of altcoins are centralized and have no new ideas, they just rehash the same old ideas over and over with a new name and new advertisements. This is why they don't have real potential and any "opportunity" is just short term profit making at a very high risk.
Just call it gambling... Laughs... Because any investment wit just short term profit but which also poses a very high risks can be simply referred to ask gambling. What you are saying is not far from the truth because as someone who has followed the crypto space for a little while now, I can also agree with you when you said the majority of these altcoins have no new ideas nor bring anything new to the table as they are majorly just clone projects of older projects with a different branding and controlled
Each project offers lessons in risk management, ecosystem growth, and the dynamics of supply and demand.
That may have been true many years ago with the first generation of altcoins, but it no longer is true. Most of the altcoins we see today are just fake projects that no matter what supply they have there will be gamblers who buy into them (fake demand). There is no lessons to be learned here if you ask me.

To a large extent no tangible lessons to be learn but you cannot say there are no lessons at all because in any program today being it wrong or right, there are still one lesson or the other you can pick. Even in the worse case scenarios, you will still pick some lessons. So yeah, nothing outstanding, nothing progressive in these new altcoins but you can still take home the fact which is they are full of fake demands from hefty gamblers who venture into them increasingly unreliable.
