I think it's because more profits. I got 200 Solana from airdrop. After 6 months SOL price was near 200$ somehow. So basically I got 40000$ easily. but I sold it when it's around 80-85$. As my experience alts are good for make short term profits. But it's too risky.
If you hold it longer, you will make a massive profit. Mostly, this is the reason why they like altcoins. If you get lucky and invest in the right coin, you'll get a lot of profit in just a couple of months. It is more risky with a higher return. Also, most of the project won't last a few years as developers and owners will abandon it or it will just die. Altcoin also has a lot of scams, which are more risky, so you need to check the background of the owner and team behind it.

- Because when you invest in cheap altcoins and the value suddenly increases like what happened to the Shiba Inu, you hit the jackpot and suddenly you become rich if you buy a lot.
It's just that the risk is high, so you need to research carefully before you invest in altcoins, even I gamble on meme coins when I have the extra money in my budget. Because I have nothing to lose and it's only a small amount that can turn into thousands of money.
You have a higher chance of striking it rich by investing into altcoins than investing into Bitcoin itself. That's because altcoins are usually hyped by everyday people. But at the same time, they're an extremely-risky investment due to their highly-unpredictable nature. The first type of altcoins to go all the way down the drain are "meme" coins since they lack real use cases to the mainstream world. Then, others will follow if they're unable to deliver as promised. You can either strike it rich or poor in an instant depending on how your play your cards. People who invest in altcoins are those who missed the Bitcoin train in the early days. There were many stories of early adopters who became rich after BTC went to the moon, so altcoins bring a fresh new opportunity to achieve limitless wealth. I'd diversify my investment into BTC and alts for complete peace of mind. As long as you don't become greedy in the end, nothing should stop you from achieving your dreams in the future. Just my thoughts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Altcoin also has a lot of scams, which are more risky, so you need to check the background of the owner and team behind it. I agree that altcoins if chosen the good ones and kept for longer will make a person more money than Bitcoin because altcoins are easier to make or to get,either by mining like ZIL,ETHW,ETHF,RTM,DOGE and LTC to name the most well known one from mining but you can also buy them like Baby Doge,Shiba Inu which I think in the longer term will make a lot of people,or better the only people that hold them enough massively rich and I personally also own 30 million Shiba Inu which if they go to just 1 cent I will be having 300.000 dollars and this for me is enough reason to be interested in altcoins and try to add more and more to my portfolio so when the next bull run comes I will see some really great profit.

basic rule of thumb, when a coin have higher volatility it will certainly could give higher returns, this is what happening with altcoins in general, you're only risk of losing your insignificant dollars but you could have the chance of generating multiple folds of your initial investments, that's why so many are still interested in investing in altcoins despite all the scams that occured in altcoins but the profit outweight the risk so they'd still invest in it regardless, moreover it's usually faster in term of holding.

Appropriate. when you do have a higher risk, the return is commensurate, but we must realize that the conditions will not always be favorable, especially with the many projects in altcoins now, so the risk of loss is clearly much greater if we cannot identify a good project. It's just that if we are lucky, of course, as you said, the return will be far more than expected. The problem is for people they only see one side only from the benefits but don't think too much about the risk of greater loss which makes them always feel cheated, even though it is the result of what they choose.

The desire for a high rate of return when investing in altcoins is part of the PR campaign of the marketers of various projects. Note that each project claims to be better and more modern than the other. But in essence they are all copies of each other. So people invest in altcoins trusting only the advertising, nothing else. No one is interested in a white paper, everyone wants a cool PR campaign.

Because the alts have more room for exponential growth, but at the same time for great losses. If you are interested on a GEM I leave you $WOM from Wombat Exchange: a Stable-swap multichain DeFI with low Slippage, Great Yield earnings, and is low on MC (is not even in the top #1000) Is risky but it is having great attention in the social media

While Bitcoin is often considered a less risky investment, many investors are also drawn to altcoins despite their volatility and potential scams. Altcoins can offer high returns through pumping, which may be a reason why some investors are interested in them. However, it is important to conduct thorough research before investing in altcoins, as they carry a higher level of risk than Bitcoin. Altcoins may also be attractive due to their real-world use cases and potential for long-term growth. Each investor has their reasons for investing in altcoins, and it is important to consider individual risk tolerance and investment goals before investing in any cryptocurrency.

I think, always the volatility and fluctuation that causes alts in general to attract such massive investments flow, that is because you could grow your investments capital within short amount of time and that could results in hundred folds of your initial investment value sometimes but there are also risk of losing your money which is significantly bigger than investing in coins like bitcoin therefore the reason why so many always gives fewer share of their investment in altcoins in general.

as we know, many people suggest investing in bitcoin because the risk is not too high. but if we look at the market there are lots of people buying altcoins, and to be honest I also like to buy altcoins but there aren't many of them, and it's still my biggest investment in bitcoin. and to be honest even though investing in altcoins is risky but I always want to buy and the reason is because of the high pumping.. and I want to ask everyone what is your for buying altcoins, is the reason the same as mine?
If you already stated that you like buying altcoin there is no need to ask any further questions about other opinions about altcoins because when it comes to altcoins it is better to do your own research and don't rely on the advice of others because most mainstream streamers are just influencers who are getting paid to promote coins. And since you already mentioned how suitable it is to invest in Bitcoin instead of altcoin even though some investors consider altcoin to give high profits in short term compared to bitcoin which requires a long-term goal, the risk between BTC vs altcoins is high. BTC is the most suitable for a long-term investment with stability, altcoin, on the other hand, is highly volatile and easily pumped and dumped so everyone needs to be careful with altcoins and it's not suitable at all unless you want to gamble with your money.

I feel like it used to be less so in the past something really changed in the last Bullrun, all twitter accounts that mention a project are basically paid in the back end, very few are legit doing it because they like the crypto project.

going up fast and down very fast too, altcoins like that are just altcoins used for pump and dump then they will disappear and be abandoned. A lot of meme coins have been hype with very fast returns but then rugpull. Instead of expecting ROI, the project just gets abandoned and dies slowly. The risk of altcoins like that is indeed very high, out of 100% who join, maybe only about 20% can succeed and make a profit. If you really want to get into altcoins, it's better to enter the top altcoins, but if you want to try a higher risk with big profits, a new project that is currently hype might be an option, but at your own risk.
Altcoins are always a high risk, that's why altcoins aren't recommended for investment if you don't have enough experience in crypto. Yep, the prices are easy to increase if there are the hypes, but it is easy to free fall once the hypes have gone. The perfect example is indeed meme coins, they rely on the hype to increase. But they have no strong fundamentals, they will easily lose value after the hype is over. It is the disadvantage of meme coins, but it is the chance to gain big profits, too. It is up to you to take the risk or not on such altcoins, but I agree that it is better to choose top altcoins. The top altcoins have more stable prices, they can continue to increase their values because they have strong fundamentals. For long-term investment, top altcoins should be the best option, kindly avoid meme coins or new altcoins with weak fundamentals.

despite all of the arguments im gonna say it that the main reason many are interested in altcoin because it could quite literally make you rich overnight, what else is there reason more valid than this, just with the prospect of investing short term you could already flip your money and gain thousand percents returns even with small capital which isn't quite possible enough with the other alternatives.

It can make you rich overnight as well as go homeless in the same night. With altcoin investment the ROI is quite high than bitcoin at times. This doesn't work all the time as well as it works with specific altcoins. Here we need to be lucky or esle we should have the mind to keep on adding more and more different altcoins to our portfolio. Always people want to have a diversified portfolio than holding bitcoin. Same as bitcoin, the top altcoins on the market can be trusted, but things like FTX could happen which is the riskier part.

Possible but it's not easy as you think. There are many wonderful stories about people who invested on certain altcoins and got rich overnight. Those are fairy stories which is accommodated by a ton of luck. Those who tried doing this kind of fairy tail and risking all the way are mostly didn't succeed knowing the risk they put their money into. Of course you the token involved in this insanely high gains overnight is sh*tcoins which involved a lot of risk having it given that there could be a high chance that it will not rise in value. Not everybody has altcoin just because of this reason, There are some who are long term on certain altcoins which is safer than risking it on sh*tcoins.

In my opinion, altcoins have their own charm, it doesn't mean that investing in altcoins doesn't have risks, instead altcoins have big risks, but it's also worth the profit, because the movement of altcoins is much more volatile than bitcoin, so think carefully before buying altcoins

The altcoins are my main area of market speculation because I've made enough money from them, such as when I bagged them sooner than their bull season. Shiba Inu is also a part of the project that served me well and GMT made me smile. However, there are risks involved with investing in altcoins because not all of them have a reliable roadmap. While Bitcoin is a top coin, not all traders choose it because of the high volatility it adds to the market. As a result, altcoins are informed of daily routine daily because they are numerous in the space and each token has a seasonal dump and pump period.

and I want to ask everyone what is your for buying altcoins, is the reason the same as mine?
Your opinion is almost the same as mine, I am interested in altcoins because the price is low, in 2018 I bought ETH and sold it in 2020, then I also invested in Dogecoin, but I sold it too fast and failed to get high profits when ATH was reached.

in my opinion altcoin can make a huge profit or income after you buy it, but it has a big risky too. bitcoin will never make 2-5x in few month, but altcoin can make it in only 1 month. so that the different, and also bitcoin already has a big marketcap,that too is a reason.

Remember theory is only relative when we go into practice. I could make tons of profitable altcoins that only I could see, but they were short-term deposits or later used to accumulate more BTC. Anyway, I prefer BTC over altcoins in my portfolio, but the utilities or features needed to move the altcoin market are working.
