If I had $ 1,500, I would split my investment in pennies in the top 10 most popular coins. Surely I will make a lot of profit from this coins
With so little money to invest I do not think it is such a good idea to invest in the top 10 coins, to me there are only two options if you plan to invest 1500, either you invest in bitcoin or you invest in several coins outside the top 10, probably coins below 100 millions in terms of market cap, if you choose the second option the chances of losing money go up but the chances of making a lot of money go up as well.
