The thing is if you get a coin for 10 cents, how much can you really lose? Because no coin goes to 0 right? I mean it might go down to 0.002 etc if it does? But if it goes from 10 cents to 15 cents, thats 50 percent your investment which is huge. The thing is people say invest in bitcoin. But the issue is look at the price. Its around 4000 usd for a btc. Let say you buy 1 btc. If it goes up to 5000 usd, yes you make 1000 usd. But if a coin is 10 cents and you buy say 50000 of them for 5000, well it going up to 12 cents would make you the same money as compared with btc.
Good point, but this is not all there is in investing. Actually, there is a lot of reason why there are some cheap coins on the market and a lot of people don't bother to invest in it. Most of the altcoins I've known so far always seems to have a potential but after its release, they all went crashed and burn. You will still lose a lot of money investing in this kind of mindset because you have to buy lots of altcoins to have a good profit and in the contrary, you really have no idea if the price of the coin you invested in, has a good chance of increasing, hence you are also not sure if you will get your ROI. If you want to risk it, you should do a deeper research about the coin, who's behind it, are they credible enough to make the project successful, the development of their project, how they handle the media and etc.
