Yes, the alts will make you money on paper... ON PAPER, but check there github's alot of them are doing no programming at all... they jsut meet up in conference room and talk about what they want to do.
Use 2018 to educate yourself, WHY? Bitcoin is the moon that moves the tides. They say its old, its slow...etc etc but it is 10years ahead of the rest. the best minds in the world are working on it. It is all that matters.
The End
So, there will be many crashes in alt coins.
