The clear winners here are BTC, ETH, and only two altcoins: namely ETC as well as ADA. Most other altcoins terribly underperformed since the 2017 bullrun and even lost you money since their all time highs despite our market cap tripling(!).
This should serve as an important reminder that you have to do your own research because most Altcoins will enevitably lose you money compared to the two big dogs. Please be careful with investing in crypto, especially when it comes to altcoins. Most of them will not be around in 3 years time.
Your risk multiplies by a lot if you go beyond the top 20 or even beyond the top 100. if this list continued to the Top 200 you'd be seeing a lot of -90% to -99% of your initial investment.
Only incest what you can actually afford and are willing to lose.
Learn to cut your losses. HODLing is not always your best option.
