$10k is not a very small amount of money to throw away just like that, I think this amount is more than enough to have investment in bitcoin, and still diversify into top altcoins rather than thinking of buying this unpopular coin that I even feel is dead already.

If you have such amount of money, you have to just make bitcoin your major focus first and then make sure that you have at least 50 percent of your investment in it, while you share the remaining percentage on coins that you will find in the market to have bottomed right now, but yet still have so much popularity, because the more the popularity of a coin is, the more we can say the community will keep growing up, making the value of this coin to keep rising, and that can only be seen with top coins.
