50 dollars monthly is not that bad specially if you know which coin you are investing (this means altcoin of course) but if you are confident about Bitcoin to bring you better result for that amount then yeah put that 50 bucks in bitcoin monthly and that would be 600$ a year, that for me is too small talking about how pricey bitcoin nowadays.
but this is for OP to decide, he has His strategy and we are just giving Him second option and better understanding about things in life.
It is still very possible for $50 to be used for Bitcoin even if you say that Bitcoin is no longer at a cheaper price. However, this is still very meaningful for anyone who wants to put their money into Bitcoin with the aim of making a profit every year after putting their money into Bitcoin every month. And from the first option you mentioned, it seems like a very, very bad choice in my opinion and is really more risky, especially if you choose a new altcoin whose market trend itself is still not guaranteed for the long term.
Meanwhile, for an option like Bitcoin, with an amount of $50 every month, it would be a very extraordinary thing if the OP could diligently and happily put it into Bitcoin. And it should be for everyone to make the choice of Bitcoin their main choice after seeing the increase and improvement in prices that have continued since last year until now, supported by several positive effects for Bitcoin itself. In fact, everyone will not know what the condition of their money is when they put that money into altcoins, some of which are shitcoins.
As I type this post, if I were to use $50 to buy bitcoin, I would end up getting nearly 100k satoshis. That is quite a bit.
And, if I were to do that 10x, then I would get 1 million satoshis.
Of course the price is going to vary, and if you were forced to stay in dollars.. with your (let's say $600) or get 1million satoshis or get some random vague ass shitcoin (and part of the problem is that peter0425 does not have enough of a clue to actually name one so he refers to them generally), and then the next thing is that you have to wait for 10 years (until February 21, 2034) until you can touch your investment, then which one are you going to want to have?
1) bitcoin (or satoshis, right around 1 million of them)?
2) $600?
3) some random vague-ass bag of shitcoins that peter0425 is not even able to name?
Should we check back in 10 years? and by the way "altcoin or crypto or shitcoin is not an investment.. you have to choose something to put in your portfolio.. so it is even dumber (or maybe better said, retarded) when you are not even able to name the one (or ones) that you want to put in there and that you are recommending people to go down such a ill-thought-out path.
At least
these guys picked 4 shitcoins in their shitcoin portfolio, but they still ONLY chose 1 year, and if you are actually investing into something you should have enough confidence in it to invest for 10 years..
so then which one(s)? Bitcoin should be the obvious choice for anyone who has spent more than 100 hours considering the matter, and if you spent less than 100 hours, you better get to work, put in your time and do some homework so you are not talking in gibberish/gobbledy-gook and making bad recommendations.
