I feel like the OP is in the wrong mindset, coins are not a get reach quick scheme. You can make a fortune, but not in a day unless you invest a ton and the price skyrockets the next day. Its an investment, where you sit on it and sell if you have to. The people that put 1k into bitcoin when it was $80 are all smiles now, but it took years for it to reach its current value. If you are not familiar with investing its also a great way to loose alot of money.
