Choose an altcoin that has real potential and can be done by doing research first,
with $ 800 you have to be smart in managing it and it can generate big profits,
investment for the long term obviously Bitcoin is the choice and for the short term choose altcoins.
I saw investors that have made money from investing in Bitcoin, they're okay to invest that amount and even more for altcoins that could make them a lot of money.
It's more of a gamble than of investing because it's just a short-term thing. Some really make huge money but mostly don't, those that are making with these altcoins know the risk and it shouldn't be associated with emotion or else, they're just wasting their resources and money from these coins.
I prefer to buy altcoins than Bitcoin because in terms of price we need large capital if we want 1 Bitcoin,
That's always the common thought of many that you're all required to buy 1 bitcoin but in reality, you can DCA and buy mbtcs or bits of it depending on how much is your goal.
well not all altcoin investment are such gamble usually those altcoins that have partnership with big venture capital always ended up somehow having their value raised to the next level.
not to mention the fact that their listing in various exchange has been ensured, it's just matter of time until the project become big, but because of that also arise some other problem
like the chance of getting whitelisted for investment is slim, that what makes the price could be going up so high right after listing because the demand is there but the supply is low.
i think it's pretty okay investing in such altcoin since honestly the rate of successful is tremendously high.
