Partially agree to this. But no one could tell where BTC will end. I'm just holding very tiny amount of BTC. Day trading profits, 50% goes into BTC and 50% goes into USDT. I would rather gamble with coins under 1$ with more volume which might give higher profits if holding for long term.
actualy the value of the coin is not the main factor, cheap coins still see harder growth, the most important thing is the market cap and the circulating supply
you have cheap coins like cardano and stellar that are less than 1$, but for them to grow to 1$ or more requires a very huge market cap (this is due to their circulating supply), and we also have expensive coins with high market cap such as NEO and QTUM at 80 and 60$ and $5 bil market cap
i said buying low market cap coins have more potential is bcos lets say we have a coin now at $100 million market cap at 1$, if this coin goes up to $1 billion MC, the value of the coin will be 10$, a 1000% or 10x gain
and lets say now we have NEM at 1$ wif $10 bil MC, if you want NEM to reach 10$ with a 1000% gain from 1$, its MC needs to reach $100 bil, this will make it overtake ETH, XRP, BCH etc into 2nd spot, 100 bil MC is quite impossible unless a 'miracle' happened like wat happened to Ripple
and if the low MC coin you bought gets hyped up and it reach few bil MC, you will earn like crazy, 1 example is verge, it got hyped from few hundred mil MC to a few bil MC coin, those ppl saw a x20 to x30 gain
but of course buying low MC coin do have its cons, if it didnt work well the value will just stagnate or drop, while higher MC coins (those top 30) are very stable and consistent growth, its just like buying blue chip stocks and some unknown company stocks, so deep research and analysis is needed if u wan buy low MC coins
for me i rather have a shot at getting x10, x20 gains instead of the x2 or x3 gain from higher MC coins, so i prefer to buy low MC coins
