You can't just buy any cheap coin and think it will definitely rise above $1 if you hodl it, that is not a strategy if you ask me; you are just gambling. I call it gambling because you might just get lucky or you could do it and never get lucky. Instead of wasting your money doing this, why not just buy better coins, like bitcoin, you can accumulate using DCA, you don't have to buy in one lump sum and before you know it you are building a portfolio.
