If I decided to put some money in altcoins, I would only do so in projects which have already been time-proof, like Monero, Litecoin, Ethereum. Nothing with tokens based on food or Dogs. Those are basically shitcoins and a way to gamble to anyone daring getting money in.
You hold my thoughts in terms of investment in altcoins, because many of them are not worth putting your money into. If I must invest in altcoins, it has to be the these ones that you have mentioned and a few more that have been time tested and proven to be reliable. If I decide to invest in an altcoin now, it'll have to be Ethereum, because I believe that it's the one of the top altcoins that nears bitcoin, in being reliable and time tested, where their investors have complete trust in them.
Shitcoins have made investors to categorize altcoins as worthless, but truth remains that there are few of them that are worth inventing in. I've been enticed a couple of times to double my profits by investing in some new altcoin, but in the end I'm always skeptical about them, i feel more comfortable in bitcoin investment.
There'll be less risk for me to invest in Ethereum, when I'm ready for altcoins.
