One huge mistake new investors make (I made it too) is looking at price instead of market cap. The greatest opportunity for growth generally comes from low market cap coins since it doesn't take much for them to double and triple. Zcash is a great example. Zcash is $467 a coin but only has a $1.55B market cap. If it were able to get to Litecoin's market cap, each coin would be worth over $3500. By contrast, Tron is trading around 3¢. If it got to LTC's market cap, it would be worth about 17¢. You'd actually get a better return with Zcash, just with a lot fewer tokens in hand.

The great thing about crypto is it gives a lot of inexperienced investors a chance to learn about markets without a $1500 or more minimum balance that you'd need to open a Scottrade account. And the way crypto has been going until lately, we all look like geniuses most of the time regardless of what we're invested in. Resteemed.
