With that much capital, of course you are better off investing in altcoins,
because altcoins can make you achieve high profits when the bullish season arrives,
we are still in the bear season and with only $ 500 or $ 1000 capital it is very suitable for investment now,
you don't have to worry about losing your capital , as long as you know about altcoin fundamental analysis,
and my recommendation for you is Chromia (CHR) because this altcoin has dropped from -92% ATH,
so it is very suitable for investment.
I watched chromia in the last bull run and this project gave a very big profit for early investors. As a rule altcoins don't survive after one or more cycles, especially this project didn't become very well known, despite huge growth in 2021. It seems to me that this investment could be very risky.
