Those who trade at short term will gain little profit than losses so I think it's not advisable if the strategy is not fit to what you want to achieve. And choosing altcoins/shitcoins over Bitcoin is a bad choice if you are really planning to make some huge profit in the future that means holding Bitcoin for a long time. Bitcoin price may drop but when it's time to pump the return is more than what you think you would deserve so make a plan and strategy if you really want to trade wisely with crypto.
Considering the time of holding, Bitcoin is still the best asset to invest your money, there are many other projects that you can choose
but if you do like holding and waiting, top coins are best fit to that kind of investment. Long hold, but the benefits will surely let you enjoy.
It's on how willing you are taking the extra patience while waiting for your asset to grow according to how you perceive and how you
anticipate the delivered profits.
