Besides Bitcoin, there are several digital currencies that can be alternative investments such as Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (RXP), Litecoin (LTC) and others. of all that will the exchange rate approach bitcoin.
no, price of none of these altcoins will ever get even remotely close to bitcoin price. in fact most of them are on a long term downtrend because of the issues they have in long term.
for instance ETH has unlimited supply and there will be more and more of it to be dumped on the market. not to mention lots of technical issues that this platform has.
XRP is a centralized useless coin with a massive controlled supply of 100 billion and they have only released 40% of it so far.
LTC is a copy of bitcoin that doesn't have anything worth mentioning that can set it apart from bitcoin.
As a beginner I want to invest but with affordable small capital with exchange rates other than bitcoin. What is your opinion ?
it doesn't matter what you buy. if you have $1 or $1 million you can invest in bitcoin or any other altcoin as long as you are making a deposit bigger than the minimum your bank allows!!!
and as for profit if bitcoin worth $7000 goes up 5% you will make the same amount of profit as if an altcoin worth $10 goes up 5%.
the important thing is to see which one has the better chance of going up 5% with the least amount of risk.
