Like a lot of people in the crypto world I jumped in due to FOMO. One of my investments was in Verge. By pure luck I jumped in and made £13K but got spooked when I bothered to DYOR. I sold up and moved into BTC because I believe it is a safer bet, albeit it might be slower than some of the recent spikes we've seen in other coins. Thing is I dreamed of owning one whole BTC when the price was £4K but that sort of investment scared me at the time, so although I don't trust most altcoins as many don't even have working products or teams/strategies behind them, an altcoin still helped me realise my dream. It's a risky business but there are opportunities to be had. I guess when the altcoin bubble DOES burst those that played the safer BTC game will be much better off.
