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?
More holdings are good but not all times. You cannot easily handle many coins in your portfolio. Specially, if you are newbie in trading. Holding few coins are good because you will easily realize if you are earning or losing your capital. If you have 3 coins in your portfolio, you can determine and plan when and where will you enter the market.
