If you want to trade or make money in a short time, you are better off putting your capital in higher value coins than putting your funds in unpromising coins. There are some good altcoins to invest in right now are Eth, bnb and Cardano, These are the right coins to invest in the short to long term and the risk level is very low.
Yeah you are absolutely right investing your capital in these big altcoins name like Ethereum, BinanceCoin, Cardano, etc may be profitable for you but in my mind that if you have small capital like $1000 you should invest in 10 different altcoins $100 each, but these altcoins will be the upcoming top coin I m, mean which has strong fundamental and has big plans for future, normally those type of emerging coins are not pumped too much, so you have many chances to grab profit because they have too many chances to pump in upcoming future. And the other interesting thing is if 4 coins out of 10 are in loss than I am sure that the remaining 6 coins will help to recover your loss.
