How much can you make from 500$

I was arguing with a mate about the amount of money you can make from one potential cycle from 500$. We’re not taking leverage x100 and futures.

My take : if you don’t keep moving your money around all the time and let the markets just do their work and don’t invest in super risky shit coins, 2500$-5000$ is pretty posible, I’ve seen people do this without any knowledge and just with patience. No need to risk it too much, this couple thousand can be a nice bonus.

His take : 10K at least, cause when you have 500$ you gotta risk it and play it big. If you lose it than let it be that way.
