How exactly would you drop let's say Huntercoin ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annhuc-huntercoin-worlds-first-decentralized-gameworld-on-the-blockchain-435170 ) to zero? 42 million coins in total, current supply is a bit over 10 million coins and with current price of roughly 500 Satoshis that makes Huntercoin marketcap a bit over 50 BTC. To buy all 10 million already mined coins for 1 Satoshi each you'd need just 0.1 BTC asuming all current holders would sell to you which is highly unlikely. So right there your story about "equal to zero" is not holding the water. But if you can find some other reasons why mentioned coin might go to zero feel free to post them (make sure you understand what is Huntercoin, who are developers and other fundamentals).
Every altcoin I've ever invested in has either been a scam or gone dead in the water after a while. Granted, you can earn a fair amount of BTC on altcoin speculation, but when it comes down to it I might as well should have just put my BTC in cold storage and then forgot about them until the next growthspurt. The amazing amount of bullshit I've been through with the god damn altcoins just hasn't been worth it.
Fuck altcoins, buy BTC. In the long run it's the safest bet.
Wait, so it is altcoins' fault that you lost money investing in them? It is not about your noobish trading and investing skills? You have bought into many early pumps and dumps, lost money there and now you are bitching about altcoins yet cheering Bitcoin expecting others to listen to you? Based on what success stories? Bitcoin dropped from above 1200 USD down to below 200 USD but it is great yet altcoins that dropped roughly the same (many actualy dropped less) are shit?
