I know the question sounds stupid.
But my questions is, if i have 50k should i rather invest in bitcoin, ethereum or a other high market cap coin compared to a small market cap coin were i could almost own 0.1% if the coin supply is 1 billion and trades at 5 cent.
It should be much easier for the coin with a lower market cap to make much more gains than with Btc, right?
If you really have such a great sum of money to start investing in crypto (I guess if you have a question you are a beginner), why don't start better with learning more about crypto? You will make this decision yourself.
There is nothing much to learn here mate, he is strictly trying to make a very risky investment by going for lower market cap coins. Lower market cap coins are easily pumped and dump within a twinkle of an eye and if he is not watchful enough, he will miss out of the pump and when he misses out, he automatically becomes a shitcoin holder because not many people will revisit that coins again.
I am sure the best choice for him will be to just go for high marketcap because they get more attention than the lower ones, and when they pump, they could really pump so hard also without getting a dump that will over damage their market.
