Topic: $1000 to spare each month, how would you invest it? - page 8. (Read 2414 times)

If you are saving that much money in a monthly basis then you are doing fine in that aspect of your life but in my opinion you should take the time to develop your ability as an investor instead of investing now that you have no idea what to do with your money, once you know what you will do you can use your money to invest in whatever coin you think it is a good investment.

Currently I have a business even though it hasn't developed yet, privously I decided to do business because I got profit from bitcoin when I invested in October 2017 and sold it at the end of December.

Until now, I always collect from the results of my business to reinvest in cryptocurrency because I know this year the price of cryptocurrency is still at the lowest price. If I have a capital of $ 1000 I will invest in bitcoin as much as 50% and the rest I will buy ETH or BSV as much as 30% and 20% of the total capital I will save when I needed.

Thats good idea, $1000 is big capital if you issue it every month, you have to divide the money into several commodities,
maybe in some crypto, or other comodity. the most important thing is not in one basket. I myself will choose Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and gold

Before you start to invest in cryptocurrency you should make plans on how you’re going to invest in it. people here always recommend to go for bitcoins as bitcoin had never disappointed them when they are sure about long term holding.

First you start by deciding what kind of cryptocurrency you will like to invest your money and what type of investment you’re after, whether it’s short term, medium to long term. Like some experts do say the longer it has been in the market determines how trustworthy it is. So starting with Bitcoin is not a bad idea, especially now the market is down to a cheap price.

Just by following diversification principles, anyone could make use of $1000 more effectively every month. If we have regular capital to invest with cryptos then I am sure we can be millionaire in very near future itself. We must keep on buying bitcoins and few other major coins and token (so that we are ensuring diversification with our investments).

if you have 1000$ then save half of it in bank and invest half of it in new promising project and dont not expect of return in few month ,just go on investing spare money like this way then after few years you will have cash as well as good profit for yourself.it doesnt matter if your investment in crypto or not just keep investing half way but it is preferred to choose crypto as you can receive more profit in less time than other investment.

I would share this 1000 between some cheap but promissing. That way I would increase chances to get profit from this investment.

first of all i dont expect to have that kind of cash because it seems impossible based on the status of my life . some can have it if they are rich and if ever you will invest it , i suggest that invest only half on cryptos and half on stable assets  . in that way you can minimize the risk and you can still earn if ever the crypto market wont recover for a longer time  but im not saying that investing it all on a single random crypto .  of course you must only consider the top coins ( i.e btc ,  ada , xmr , etc ) and you must diversify  or spread it  in an equal manner   

I will say invest 70% of your total capital into crypto currencies and remaining 30% into something more staler value and high liquidity then you can convert them into fiat when you are in emergency.Buy bitcoins with the allocated amount of capital for crypto investments and then start trading with few funds from it.

Instead of relying on cryptocurrency alone, I think you should also engage in other investments such as real estate and stocks. Cryptocurrency is good, but at times it disappoints you, so you need something else to also rely on. You can invest $5000 in real estate (uuhm that would be a shared property) and also invest in stocks, the rest can be going into cryptocurrency.

This way you wouldn’t have to put all your hopes in crypto and be overly concerned when the price drops. It can help you have patience too as you also have other means of getting profit.

It's nice monthly sum to invest but you should be very careful where you will put your money. It's golden rule not to invest exclusively in one asset so not to put all eggs in one basket to minimize the risk of potential loss.
If I was at your place I would put half of that in cryptocurrencies and the other half in some investment tied to fiat money. When I'm talking of cryptocurrencies I wouldn't waist time on different ICOs but put everything into Bitcoin and Ethereum. But that is only my opinion.

购买一些btc，eth, eos, 再投资些ICO项目，美滋滋 。

Yes, so if OP has $1000 each month to enter in crypto currency, i would suggest him to buy different coin each month with 1000$ and hold them for long term. While choosing the coins, you can select from from 10 or 15 coins as these the coins which have more volume and are listed on good exchanges.

If you still have the $1000 dollars in crypto then I will advise you to leave it there. Analysts has claimed this year to be the the year for bull run, around second half of the year there is likely to be a bull. So hold the $1000 and wait for the bull instead of selling it. There are still other things you can do with $1000 apart from cryptocurrency.

I didn't realize that this thread has already been outdated until I saw the wake-up post.

I suggest you invest it on safe gambling. You just keep the money lying down without working for you. That’s a retrogressive way of money management. The current exchange market and trading isn’t as favorable as before,  and I can’t ask you to go and but any coin now, so therefore, an alternative means of investment is required. I would only suggest what I myself do, which is safe gambling. It all about betting with a big amount on small odds. one has to be strategic and disciplined to be able to make a good amount of money.


In gambling, someone has an edge. It’s either you or the man on the other side of the betting line. That usually is the house, standing for bookmakers and casinos. That edge is either predetermined (think of roulette, where you are paid 35-to-1 on a 37-number wheel) or fluctuating (think of betting odds that move up or down). The best way to comprehend the edge is a coin toss.
Imagine you bet on a coin flip, at less than even odds. No matter your choice of heads or tails, you are going to lose money, in the long run. You are betting on a 50-50 chance but only get paid less than double your money on each coin flip! Depending on how much less you are getting paid, your bankroll will withstand a certain amount of bets. So, if I’m offering you 1.90 (decimal odds) for each coin flip, your money will end up in my pockets after 200-300 coin flips. That’s how you have been feeding the gambling industry. And that’s what the house edge is all about. But how do I know how big is your bankroll?



Before you even think of beating the casinos or the bookies, you must understand risk management. Also known as bankroll or capital management, risk management will be the decisive factor in your success. You also have to choose a good casino and my favorite choice due to their quality services and big bonuses is vegascasino.io No matter how much edge you gain over the gambling companies, bad risk management will make your betting bankroll evaporate.


Now comes the really tedious task of creating a profitable gambling strategy. Finding an edge in the market isn’t easy, I’ll tell you that. If it were that easy, and given the simple risk management rule I explained, everyone would be a winner. But you already know that only 5% or so of gamblers can make it pay.
In order for you to make money, someone has to lose. It’s a zero-sum game, where gambling operators also get their cut. Thus, we need to exploit the market, looking for leaks and biases, like the favorite-longshot bias . The average gambler follows specific betting patterns. You mustn’t do the same. Always do something different, always think different.

It has to be this way as diversification is a must and should be bought some good altcoins which will give good returns and grow when the markets rises. It should not happen that bought worthless coin and lose out money in the end. Keep on buying at every dip so that you can make the most of it.

I will use $1000 each month to invest in many coins. From $1000, I will divide into 3-5 coins and hold because that is what we can do in waiting for the market rising again. But I don't use for investing only, and I will use some of the money to trade because I see we have a good chance to buy and sell if we can choose the right coin. While we invest and hold the coin, we can check and analyze every coin in the wallet and see the price, if the price can get a pump or increase double than the last price we bought, then we could sell some amount to take the money back. But this is only if you have skill in trading, don't do this if you only want to invest and hold the coins.

Looks like the OP has opened this thread when Bitcoin was around $6000-$6500. But we all know what happened after that Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto's suffered a major downturn so I assumed that the OP has lost again after the massive drop but I do hope that he/she is still holding and wasn't disappointed specially that the fall was partly due to the BCH hash war.

Anyways, for me Bitcoin is still the best investment out there and probably get some Ethereum or XRP as plan B, just continue to accumulate as much as you can but don't do short, just HODL and I'm sure that one day you will be happy that you made that decision.
