Topic: 10,000 to invest - what would you do? - page 3. (Read 483 times)

Like Previously mentioned Deep Onion shows much promise and the charts can not lie, the web site is very professional. With a solid outline of planed expansion/integration and of course growth.  For A less expensive coin with massive potential as well, I would recommend MANA which looks to be a very promising project in the works. 

25% Bitcoin
25% Ethereum
25% Other Alt coins
25% ICO's such is GoNetwork.

Make sure you do your research properly on Alt coins and ICO's you invest in.

I think you should use 50% to buy and store eth, because in the future it will definitely grow strongly

What about investing several coins like 10% Bitcoin, 20% Etherium, 40% EOS and the rest for some new coins like Nebulas(NAS) or BigOne Token ? I think this way would help you to understand and feel the market better.

I believe he wanted something more aggressive.

A lot of people here have posted great ideas - but really reading your post, I think you want to be AGGRESSIVE.

Look for undervalued coins that have growing communities and an active team. It will take some research on your part.

Now as far as HOW aggressive will determine how many top coins you bring into your cryptfolio vs how many baby or small coins. I'm a fan of privacy coins as I foresee a huge shift into privacy coin investment once any government actually cracks down on traceable coins and scares the hell out of those public-coin hodlers. But just my hypothesis.

MINT has made me tons of $$. Its project is alive and well compared to a few months ago. An undervalued, well-working PoStake coin that has extremely fast transaction times and tiny tiny tiny fees. It has just gathered investor attention- check them out.
ETH is undervalued as of typing this message.
XVG (a bit biased here) has a rabid following and is awaiting mass adoption. Their new Wraith Protocol is ToR + SA's built into one. Great tech.
DeepOnion is a new currency that might capture a small market share of the privacy coin market. It has a very small market cap as of this writing also, like MINT. A baby coin so do your research.
GVT is also an appealing and solid project - It has seen great growth and also has dropped significantly from the holiday ATHs like many other coins. Very transparent about its team and mission. I think it's a great idea. Connects retail investors with professional traders.

Buying some USDT / LTC ready for trades is always a good idea. Don't forget DOGE.

Also keep an eye on PolyMath. Similar to GVT but more for bringing securities and investments into the cryptospace.

I would advise against coins that have been steadily losing their share of the market caps - older coins that have just been overtaken by newer coins with better features. I won't bash coins on here but keep that in mind.

If this helped you with saving time / doing some research, feel free to give me a +1

Again, I wish you the best of luck, but please, please make sure you do your own due diligence and not solely depend on the advice of others.

You will do great. Welcome to the cryptospace where money grows out of nowhere hehe

Looks like a solid investment strategy. Can't argue with any of those choices. Maybe with that extra 100% place with one of the sub 10cent coins that you believe in, or something like that.

I would go with a diversified portfolio like the following:

20% Bitcoin
20% Etherium
10% Iota
10% Cardano
10% Litecoin
10% Neo
10% Eos
10% some other altcoin

These will give you a good mix of mostly top 10 market cap coins.  This is just an opinion and I hold many of these. I think there are many variations of how you could put together a portfolio.

10k eh? Well if I were you definitely put some in very secure long term investments, like your 401k, which you mentioned. I would put some in my 401k and then only use probably 5k for crypto. I would buy 1k worth of DeepOnion definitely, maybe even 2k. But they are my favorite Altcoin. Other coins I would invest in are XRP, TRX, POE, EOS, RLC, and then also spread out about 2k over BTC and ETH. But that is what I would do. Definitely do your research. Have fun! I am excited for you!

If I had your investment, I would invest in Bitcoin, but only a fraction of that 30-40 percent. For the rest of the money, I buy some altcoins like ethereum, litecoin or dash coins. I would also invest in deeponion coins and some new ones.

If you want just to buy and HODL or do very few trades, I would go only for BTC, ETH, LTC, maybe DASH or whatever top 10 coin you like and spread them to different wallets (2-3 wallets for each coin). I would also put about 40-50% into BTC, because as you can see with the current dip, when BTC goes down, all alts go down and usually they go down harder than BTC. But the story is quite different when they go up.
If you want to be an active trader than I would put probably about 20% into smaller coins, but you will have to allocate about 0.5 to 1 hour per day for trading or at least staying up to date with the current status of the alts.

I would invest 50% in BTC if I were you. And other half to altcoins - ETH, LTC and RIpple

Both Bitcoins and alts will probably see some harsh corrections based on South Korea's final announcement that they are finally going to have a crackdown over anything related to cryptocurrencies. Hold till a month unless this drama gets settled, because market is experiencing the bloodbath that everyone was talking about before when Bitcoin started to rise. I now fear that by taking such steps, these countries have blown air towards the spark and I think some more countries may add up to the list soon.  

One more advice: Never go for someone's advice when it's about investing, do your own research and take your decisions voluntarily.

If this is going to be your first investment in Crypto coins then here is how I would do it. Take some very reputed coins - say bitcoin, Etherium, Monero, Zcash, Iota, ... target atleast 10 such coins and invest a bit into each. Get atleast 5 reputed wallets like Coinbase, Blockchain.info etc. and in every wallet, store some of the same coins.

Spread it out, buy a bit of each and keep it safe. That way in time your 10k will grow into several 100k+ and years later you will thank yourself,

thanks,

If I were you I would invest in bitcoin for sure

Buy large amounts of a few of the top 20s that you believe in. Buy a large quantity of cheap $#!tcoins. Don't forget to PM me for my Binance referral link.

This is a pretty solid plan.

I'd offer an additional dimension. Don't buy everything at once, on the same day. Buy over time. Set your time frame to be fully invested and the time intervals at which each buy will occur. Buy spreading your purchases out over time you average your cost basis to the best price over that time period. Cryptocurrencies have wild swings, they're hard to predict, making your purchases over time allow you to take advantage of periodic dips in the market.

In 2018 I suggest you pay 30% in bitcoin, 40% in ETH. Now I think in 2018 eth will better then btc.
Other 30% you can keep or invest by other coin.

Good Day

Stick to the rule 10% of your portfolio per coin! Some also recommend 80% in long term investments of solid fundamentally sound, strong use case projects and 20% for trading. Consider staking PoS coins for passive income or if your more technically inclined a master node for interest on your investment.

Not being a professional though, I would advice to store at least 50% of your budget in BTC, 30% to spread evenly between top 10 coins on coinmarketcap and the rest 20% for investment -- e.g coins of your choice from second page of coinmarketcap or promising ICO.
