People are engaging themselves in altcoin and continue on patronizing it because they know they have a great future ahead in investing in altcoins.

I think because altcoins have potiencial to pump and all buyers or player un trading site are hunt a good altcoins and invest and hold for the longterm trade.

Due to the volatility of the crypto market and the coins being new, there is a potential that the projects would be adopted by many people and in turn, the coins would be valuable which would make the holders of it profit may be in a short period of time compared to real estate or stock market. Investing in altcoins give the holder an opportunity to possibly profit up to 10x or 1000x in just a year compared to the previously mentioned assets which may return only 2x the profit for a long period of time. Given the opportunity though, I would invest in four investment vehicles namely, bitcoin, altcoin, real estate and stocks as diversification is good to have lesser risk.

Investing in altcoins may is more risky. But it can bring you a lot of more profit then bitcoin.So the reason why so many people invest in altcoins its because they want to make more profit.

Altcoin provides an option to investors to earn money aside from bitcoin. As we have noticed in the graphs on market exchanges, there are a lot altcoins that was newly listed that created an impact and even grow in value to around a thousand in percentage or that is ten times its current value. So in this scenario anybody could earn just like we do in bitcoin. And who else would not want that to try it out? For sure everyone would be hoping for something like it.

yes altcoin is very convenient for investment because the cost is easy and can invest with small capital and easy to get profit with short and long term, bitcoin now very high fee and for the players of small capital will run out of funds to pay fee

Faster gains (or loses).

First of all you can invest in very small amounts and increase your money with alt coins. Then alt coins have higher chance to get multiplied if they become succeseful. It is harder to make that kind of profit in other types of investment.
