The altcoin market is a transient market and once the altcoin market is dumped it is not easy to recover this transient market. In particular, several MemeCoin investments in my portfolio have been dumped from the market once and there is no possibility of a price correction. Moreover, all the altcoins that have dumped the market along with Bitcoin have never recovered in price, dumping multiple times at different times. I have bought several altcoins and faced huge losses.
I am sorry for your loss. You are right that altcoin is a temporary market and once it falls, it does not go up easily.
And it's also true that there are many altcoins in the market that once went down and never rose again. When I joined the market, I also had some coins that I had invested in, but they never went up. I suffered a little loss at the beginning because I was new to it and didn't have a good understanding of the market and coins.
While staying in the same market, I covered my losses and found some good alternative coins that always benefited me. I have a lot of altcoins in my portfolio that have always been profitable for me, so I don't consider altcoins to be bad.
As far as I have learned and understood whenever we lose it is only because we don't have enough knowledge, we invest our money in haste without seeing what their history is. We have to face loss if we don't understand the market and if you take the details of the coins and analyse the market well and invest in good alternative coins then you will benefit.
