So also when the market is down to some extent, the person with $30 may likely loss more because of the money is small. Blockchain has the minimum amount one can invest if am not mistaken but if your amount is too small may be difficult to make easy progress.
What do you think about my advised to him?
No, I think you took it wrong, in the loss scenario because when you enter the market with less money you book profit and loss according to the volume of your capital money, Unlike you said, "the person with $30 may likely loss more". For your convenience, let's take an example if you or your friend invested $30 dollars in BTC for the long term (bought at current price) which makes your BTC of around. 0.0010
BTC. Let's say in the long run BTC touches ATH of $100,000 in a few months then your friend will make a profit of $70 dollars on $30 dollars (total $100 dollars). Which i think is just too less because i am not seeing BTC to touch its ATH in this year, maybe it will set its ATH in the next 4 years' cycle halving maybe.
While, let's say BTC went to $10,000 dollars in the month then your friend will take a loss of $20 dollars, but still, one thing is confirmed in spot trading of BTC, That your friend will not lose his/her all capital because chances of going BTC to 10,000$ are so impossible But this is crypto which is the name of volatility. I will advise him to use those $30 dollars in future trading but I personally do not perform future trading and also do not recommend others because it's so risky, But he can start spot trading (day trading or swing trading) by making an entry in the market when the right time will come. Like, he should wait for the right time, even if he has to wait for days, because without a future, and less money only the right time strategy will do the work.
