Did those who said this show you as well any kind of proof that it will rise so much in future?
If you buy today for $4,000 and it will rise to $8,000 one day (what no one knows), then your profit is 100%.
But if you invest in a lower priced cryptocurrency for $200 and it will rise to $800, then your profit is 400%!
Very true, but the risk is also higher with lower priced cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is unlikely to fall heavily right now, while the smaller ones are contently going up and down.
