People don't want to give projects some time to grow, they forget that coins like dash, litecoin, Xmr, Bitcoin etc have a rough start, I'm just saying crypto investment takes years, just because a project drop in value doesn't mean they won't grow better in future.
Projects don't just turn huge in a year, there will be lots of volatility and price loss, for long term hold be prepared, if you can't then go for top coins
Yeah it's quite interesting to look the price change on the successful coins like Bitcoin, Xmr, Eth, Xrp and it's motivating to invest into crypto but it's rare to find some coin that can have potential like those. The token need a good team and consistent development for it to grow better, but those coins are the only one that looks promising to invest in, because the market today is too risky better invest in those coins you mentioned with stable development because you're sure that it will have a decent price in the future.
