although very small amount of bitcoin is really very risky but you still can buy a good amount of alt coins in alt coins section, as there are available a very very cheep but potentially alt coins. where you can make a good profit.
That is just normal when you are trading, everything has its risk although how good the altcoin is, all you have to do is just select the best altcoins that has a good potential and have a good volume so it will not easily die and you will not regret risking your money in it.
