High-ranking coins don't always bring benefits, it's just that it's safer because the potential to go down or die is smaller. Cheap coins of ordinary quality can also generate profits as long as the momentum in buying and selling is correct.
ETH for example, if the tone sells it now do you get a profit? I don't think so, so what's important is momentum.
At least we could feel safe, without need worry about our investment because they will not gonna die easily. However, the price being cheaper and keep falling is a normal risk. Just need to be patient with it and there's no point in hurrying to make a profit.
