Higher risk means high rewards. Lthough I'm not a fan of putting that much to a risky yoken, I still acknowledge those who does. It is either they have high risk appetite or they just believe on things or the project itself, and that simply subjective. If you, yourself, is not on the same mindset then you're free to avoid these tokens 'coz there are other options in the first place in particular with major tokens of the market which are considered to be less risky. My acknowledgement is because I saw some of my friends who earned 200x from a 'trashy' token. However, it won't be a waste if they earned profit from it right? Some tokens are needing years before it blows, although not all, but the chnce would be always there. Also, you won't put that much of money if you don't know what you are engaging yourself with, right?
Many have a bad experience with alt coins. This is because many people invest in scam alt coins instead of investing in trusted alt coins and suffer losses. Not all alt coins are scams. Before investing in alt coins, one should know and know well before investing. Also Ethereum, BnB, solana are not risky to invest in and they are trusted. Anyone who wants to invest in alt coins can invest in them. Others cannot be guaranteed.
the reason is because they want big profits in a short time. if they choose to invest in big altcoins like ETH BNB and SOL it is impossible to get big profits in a short time. In essence, they don't understand the risks of the investments they make and they only see the opportunities for profit that they will get.
It is possible but depends on how you view 'quick' and short period of time. If it is 2 months then yes it is possible. Saw this with some meme tokens recently but ofcourse, knowing how those altcoins move in general, increase won't be that long therefore you should know when to pull things out, and that is with urgency if you don't want to suffer from loss. Let's be straight, altcoins are more volatile but still, it means that higher profit is there but obviously, with high risks involved.
