Made a small profit on BTC now I’m wondering if altcoins are worth it

I’m still pretty new to crypto. I started with Bitcoin because it felt like the least scary option, and I only put in a small amount at first.

Luckily I’m up a bit now, nothing crazy, but it made me start looking at altcoins too. The problem is, alts feel way more confusing than BTC. One day people say a coin is going to run, next day it’s down 20%. So I’m curious, where do you guys usually buy altcoins? And what are you actually holding or trading right now?

For anyone who made money on alts, was it more luck, timing, or did you actually have a plan? I’m trying to understand the risk before I jump in.
