Big wins always come with some level of risk, and that’s normal. Still, I agree with you because taking risks is purely a personal decision. We only shared our own opinions, if he checks the comments and finds anything useful, he can go with what suits him best. From a personal side, if he feels more comfortable selecting altcoins, then that’s entirely up to him.
There is no investment with no risk, especially in crypto investment. So, anyone must deal with the level of the risk first before they decide to choose any crypto coin. Sure, it is normal that there are people who prefer altcoins although it seems risker than Bitcoin. They may assume that they have the capability to deal with the level of the risk. However, for beginners altcoins are actually not recommended even if they have the right if we consider it as a personal choice.
Since the intention for investing on altcoins was to make profit, I will advise that we see to the fact that we have enough solid evidence to where we must invest on a particular coin for a long time duration, this is not something we can just make a decision without trying to avoid any coin dam may cost us the risk of losing our investment at the end when the coin poorly performed unexpectedly.
Each investment must have the goal for profits. People who choose altcoins, they assume that altcoins can offer higher profits. But if we consider the level of risks, they are riskier than Bitcoin. No doubt that people must do deep analysis first before they invest in certain altcoins. Moreover if they want to invest in random or new altcoins. If there is no very strong reason to choose them, it is better to avoid buying them.
