I would say yes, but on the other hand i also think that with tighter regulations it might get ugly for some alts. Research well into a bunch of alts, watch a lot of videos on youtube, basically get a sense of what's going on.
And then decide if you still want to invest and on what. You have to realize a lot of people might give you certain coin names, but what if they're actually holding those coins?
It's your money, you decide what to do with it.
