You are absolutely right, nothing works, everything becomes rubbish.
as many people say if buying when the hype comes don't take too long to endure in the long run because the unclear purpose of altcoin will be flung directly to the bottom of the abyss.
It all matters with the projects potential or utility on what it makes successful or can able to withstand into this very fierce market.We have seen how many times on how a coin being hyped up
then it comes next with sudden pumps and rallies but it cant really hold for too long because the next one would be a hard dump.
This had already been a typical thing here on this space.If you do let yourself dragged or get neither hype or fud then you'll surely on the verge on losing everything when price dumps to the floor.
When shooting up some dollars on a certain project then always look or come after in long term aspect.Dont make rush decisions.
