Investing in altcoins is always risky so you can expect profit only when you can invest taking risk.
It is really ideal that you are investing in good currency. Note that investing in coins you don't know is unwise and has the potential to have a bad trading side. Moreover there may be high probability that your money amount will decrease.
High risk comes with high rewards but we should know the risks that we will be taking because nowadays lots of new coins are claiming that they could reach success and would help investors generste huge profits but still can't establish a good foundation.
It's fine if we want to try new coins but we should always consider doing researches before investing just so we won't regret things in the end. We shouldn't invest just because of promotions, trend, or even hearsays, but rather our full research about the background of the projectas well as its potential and reputation. As for me, if we are doubting a certain coin, we better choose well established coins for assurance. It's still the best option to trust coins that we could already rely on when it comes to potential.
