Tell you I think that it's far better to buy a more established coin if you're willing to wait.
Buying a establish coin requires you to have a bigger funding and a smaller multiplier to profit. Yes it has less risk but I got what OP wants to tell us.
Not always in terms of possible profit. Bitcoin price had gained much already so it will take longer times to multiply your gains. While altcoin with low value can easily multiply in price. You can use the calculator to check the percentage gain. It is a fact that profit from 1 satoshi token increased by 10 satoshi can give you higher % yield than 100 satsohi token increased by 100 satoshi.
