Make no mistake we are all still early adopters.
That said, get while the gettin' is good.
Use these guys to help you out, take advantage while you can.

It's possible...I'd say that the longer the time frame the greater your chances.
That said, you can increase your chances by following these guys:

The hardest part will be patience.

Of course, we are in a runaway speculative bubble.
Doesn't mean the entire cyrpto space will pop, but the fervor and money being made on shitcoins will at some point...
Until then, get while the gettin' is good!
I prefer to even the odds a little bit by using these guys:

These guys actually vet the members, mid-size, more easily controlled so all profit, not just a few at the top:

They also have a Telegram so you can use both to avoid lag on buying days.
Best of luck!

There are a few ways...the cream will rise to the top. 
This means that coins with ambitious goals/real use cases, and strong teams that care more about the project than marketing etc. will get there....eventually.
These are coins everyone knows about, generally top 50+, but many will be a slow burn.
The rest?  Pure speculation.  Look for low market caps, low circulating supply and prices that are 'cheap' relative to that.
Then there's pure pumps.
A lot of what you're seeing are pure coordinated pumps.
If you're smart about it, it's the easiest way to make quick money, but you have to be smart or you will be the bag holder.
Here's a group I like:

Hi there, great question.  
Just like anything else, there are good groups and shady groups.
It is possible to profit from both kinds, but I prefer those of the slightly more ethical variety.
These types aim to help the entire group, instead of using a percentage of the group to benefit those at the top.

Have an invite to one I really like!

These can be risky so just don't overextend yourself but there is a lot of upside!

SNOVIO (SNOV)!  Mid-cap, .25 cents, 3 exchanges.
It will blow up.

In the meantime, I recommend taking some play money and buying whatever these guys say to buy:

Take those profits and put them into longer term holdings or increase your mid cap positions.

You want to gamble on a home run?
