Yup. There are a handful of useful coins, and a handful of legit exchanges. Hold your own keys in FOSS wallets, keep backups of your keys, and don't expect to get rich quick (and instead find a use outside of investing). Do that, and you should be fine.
I'm super interested in privacy coins like Monero, so I go out of my way to find merchants that accept it. It's reasonably stable, has very low transaction fees, and it's fairly popular among privacy advocates, so I doubt it'll go away anytime soon. That said, I only keep what I'll spend, so make a couple hundred at a time.
