No one can predict the future of altcoins, like me in 2019. I bought some EGT in March 2019, worth about $ 500. But I quickly sold them all when the price went up 3 times. But the price didn't stop there, it kept going up and its ATH was 300 times the price I bought
I had the exact same experience with Ethereum. Back in the day, there was a coin named "Ethercoin" that was meant to be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio to ETH. The main Ethereum blockchain didn't launch back then. But "Ethercoin" mean to be an early entry point to ETH, giving traders and investors an opportunity to speculate on the price of real "Ether" (ETH). Prices were dirt cheap at $0.33 (USD) per coin. I've proceeded with caution, buying the least amount of "Ethercoins" possible in order to minimize my losses (in case the coin turned out to be a scam). Right after ETH launched, I was able to redeem my "Ethercoins" at a 1:1 for real "Ether" (ETH) just as it was claimed to be. Didn't have the chance to buy more coins, as the main Ethereum blockchain launched thereafter. Prices per ETH started rising at a fast rate, within a short amount of time. I've totally lost the opportunity to become rich with ETH now sitting at around $310 per coin.
Anyways, you get to learn from your mistakes. I don't think anyone had a steady life in their crypto journey. The crypto/Blockchain space is very unpredictable and widely unregulated, which means it's full of surprises. You can either make a good or bad decision altogether. As long as you don't make the same mistake over and over again, you'll be able to succeed in the long run. Every decision you make will completely change your life forever. In crypto land where everything moves at a fast pace, you need to be vigilant exploiting every opportunity possible to stay ahead of the game. Just my opinion
