-snip- Maybe a coin priced under $10 is more appropriate for the way you invest. For me, coins that have the top 100 category in coinmarketcap are the best coins, although there are some coins that raise our suspicions to survive.
Why should buy the coins at a price under $10?
I think there is no problem with any price. Even if the price is above $100, it also has a chance to increase 10x. What we must focus is on analyzing the fundamentals whether it is quite strong or not, to support the price increase 10x. If the fundamentals are weak, don't expect the price to increase significantly. Sure, top coins in CMC are good options but not all top coins are good for a long-term holding.
