How does one purchase into a Bitcoin of $15 k if say you only have $500? Are ALT coins the only option? How do I know what I'm buying is legitimate?

What? Are you aware the BTC is divisible into 8 decimals?
For $500 you can buy 0.033000000 BTC.

If you use legitimate exchange (coinbase, bitstamp .....), legitimate wallet (electrum, ledger ...) and check the transaction using legitimate explorer (blocktrail ...) then you surely bought a legitimate BTC.
