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

What is the thing to support and adopt now that will be hughe 5 or more years down the road, completely transforming the way humans live? What's there beyond blockchain that people will look back and say "Blockchain is to the new economy, what coal was to the last economy"?

Etheruem
Neo
Stratis

some group in telegram,twitter in 2018 they will hit up into 1,000 usd ETH will rise up to 3,000 also zcash, but you need to see the potential ico's like XLM lumen, XVG,TRX  only you can determined what exact coin do you want to invest it's our 2nd opinion best time to invest cryptoians.

Now it is good time to buy crypto while the price is decreasing. I’d buy btc for about 40%, eth 40% and nearly last 10% I’d spend on perspective altcoins.

50% ETH for ICO or Hodl, 10 % Btc when price falls, rest invest in coins such as doge, ripple, etc

I would suggest you to go in for below, these coins have great teams and can easily yield you 10x your investment.
DeepOnion - 4k
Sether - 4k
XRE - 1k
Scl - 1k
Mind you , all above are mid term to long term holds.

30% BTC, 30% ETH, 30% of your investment you be evenly spread on other coins listed in top 10. While remaining 10% should invested in some small value altcoin which can give you higher gains. I would recommend HTML coin for low value altcoin.

keep your cash and stay away from crypto right now - have you seen the latest prices? If you had invested that when you first posted you would have massive losses on your hands.

The best way is to do your own research and diversify your investment among multiple reputed options. If you are bullish for crypto then you can go with top 30 coins with high market cap and growth potential.

Alternatively you can also invest through good hedge funds like Authorito. However, make sure that you are investing in a genuine coin/token. Do not blindly follow other's opinion.

I would buy a btc if i had this budget. But there are as many opinions as users on this forum

Answer is very simple, buy 1 whole bitcoin. Thing is, you can loose it coz hackers/thiefs or bitcoin vlaue goes to $0. But in other hand, you can gain around 10 times value so $100 000 in couple years (3-6).

10-times return from investment is vgood worth risk i think

I recommend you to buy some COINS, CVC, EOS. Pretty good.

I'd probably go all-in on ethereum - it seems like the most serious one and one with the most potential (due to smart contract abilities).

Just use it to buy a promising i c o like Arcblock that is bringing a new thing to cryptocurrency sphere.... You can read about Arcblock

Take an amount you can afford to lose and I would put a good chunk of that into longer term holdings such as protocols (Ethereum), payments (Bitcoin, Monero) and maybe a small portion into ICOs. I would want to invest in the protocol that is most likely to have most of the decentralized application built on.

30% to buy ETH,
20% to BTC
20% to ICO
30% to Altcoin Flipping

This is what I would do!       

Dived your portfolio to several parts. Invest on NEO,ETH,BTC and other stable coin about 50%. Invest another half your portfolio for ICOs. Good ICO return more 10X within very short period of time. I recommend  Daneel ICO and I also investing on Daneel project.

Actually it worth to invest on Daneel project. Bellow facts prove is it worth or not to invest on Daneel project.


* Project idea -  Manage your cryptocurrency portfolio with deep AI market analyze.

For sure best way is to diversify. In crypto investing for me the best is 50/50. I split them on risky and very risky. The first one keeps me in the game, the second one make me win in the game. Last year I made 50x with my risky investment and 2018 i'm continue this way. Now I'm very interested in one ICO that I think will win the game for me https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annicotradebit-first-mobile-solutions-for-managing-your-cryptocurrencies-2724094
I'm searching for other ICO with big ROI, so if anyone finds something interesting write to me Thanks.

Another idea, find the next incermentally scalable, transaction fee free, secure, completely decentralized platform that supports distributed apps, and the coin that fuels it, and buy that. Bitcoin and blockchain based altcoins don't seem to provide that. DAG technology, or vaitants of Blockchain may be the answer (IOTA, Byteball, BitShares, Syscoin, Rootstock come to mind), but I am not sure if any of them are capable of achieving nirvava. I would like to know the next big thing beyond Blockchain that would allow technological advancements we cannot even think about today.

I would invest in a couple of businesses and also get a land in my home country which would fetch me money

I would split my budged between ethereum and altcoins. Eth is in general with a great idea with an even greater potential in the feature. The second one is because they are risky but have a really good ROI percentage as far as I know. Gool luck.

Look for coins that are solid and you believe in.
Do your own research so that you really could decide which to buy

I would put most of it in the top ~10 coins of your choice, I don't think you can go wrong with BTC or ETH. BCH and LTC are a good 2nd choice.

The speculative amount would go to the alt coins between 11-100.  I think a total of 6-7 coins would be OK and that amount you can keep an eye on.

Would buy $1000-2000 on BTC, the rest would spend on the alts! That's what I would do! 

Only invest 50% of that in new coins put the remaining balance into either bitcoin or eth as they are the most stable and promising coins for long term holders.

50% long term hold in major coins you believe in
50% alt coins that are under 1 billion market cap, as there is major growth there

Invest in my company and we can ride to the moon and back yes?

I would do the same)

That will depend if you want something safe like top 25 coinds or more aggresive aproach.

This my list

20% btc
15% bch
15% eth
10% xmr
10% zec
5% eos
5% neo
5% ada
5% nas
2% - tba
2% - tba
2% - tba
2% -tba
2% - tba

Diversification will hedge you, a bit, against market downturns, investing in ICOs is also a fruitful method to increase gains. Be careful to watch for scams and remain diligent.

I kinda like that portfolio too myself, but in the end of the day the only time you made the "right choice" is if you invest into something you researched thoroughly and that you believe in. I suggest you start googling till your eyes turn red on all the coins and what they are meant for, who the team is, their background, how big the market is, how active the dev team and community is etc. A lot of these are actual businesses and there are still tons of undiscovered gems that arent in the top 100 yet im sure (be aware of the risk if you invest into something that is low market cap). 

In the end of the day, whatever you invest in will one day probably plummet and drop down a lot. If you just put your money into something someone else told you to then you will panic on that day and sleep with 1 eye open on coinmarketcap.  Diversification is a good way to avoid this though.
I think the best investments are the ones you yourself truly believe in. That said the portfolio Aardvark shared above looks good and is quite low risk. You should go research all these and check them out.

Lastly as a new crypto enthusiast, please mate be aware of the risks and manage it properly. I am sad when I see people taking loans on their homes and losing their money due to pump and dumps etc. You really don't need to put in a lot of money to do well in crypto. Knowledge is power, capital is not.

My 3 coins to add to the above to checkout is ETN, BAR and Cindicator (I myself like playing in mid-lowcaps ).

i'll invest $5000 for ethereum, $3000 for bitcoin (coz now etherum is better than bitcoin) and $2000 on some good ICO project

Keep an eye out for our upcoming ICO

                                                              C-Bay

WHAT IS C-BAY

C-Bay is a decentralized cryptobased auction site and Mobile App with a Crypto exchange feature where you can buy and sell goods,products and pretty much anything including properties and transport bought for cryptocurrency which is very real and happening as of to date.
You will also be able to implement your very own C-Bay store to sell goods to anyone instantly across the world.
no sign up fee at all and basic listings on buys and sells will also be free.
Only upgraded options will incur a very minimal fee.
we will also implement a ratings and feedback feature.
Our services will also include an incorporated exchange to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
As of yet internet is not decentralized but given the amazing work of Ethereums Radian project its likely to be not very far away.
But have no fear we will still be launching the Mobile app which will work just as well and in exactly the same way until we can move to fully decentralized apps and websites.
Our Token(C-Bay Currency) will play an integral part of this project as will act as the main currency to buy and sell goods so users will have to either exchange Fiat(Your Local Currency)( this process will be done automatically for you) or Crypto for Our Token(C-Bay Currency) to be able to buy or sell within the C-Bay project.
Features will include converting Fiat(Your Local Currency) to Our Token(C-Bay Currency) instantly to enable the growth of the project this will be done automatically  using an inbuilt currency converter thus being able to process payments from anyone anywhere in the world.
C-Bay will then be able to offer our services to the mass market of the world instantly unlike most centralized auction sites.
You maybe thinking why use a token as currency well the answer to that is simple.
This allows there to be a constant stream of Our Tokens being bought and sold which will allow more liquidity to enable users to convert there Tokens into Fiat or Crypto by using the internal exchange feature or by going to another exchange that supports our token. 
Our Team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this project a huge success which we strongly believe will be achieved, but success can only be achieved with investments from people like you to make this an amazing project that it is more than capable of becoming.
With Ethereums Radian project gamechanging the blockchain daily we are not too far away from a fully decentralized internet.
With the world only now embracing the power of crypto and cryptobased projects the future of crypto is far advanced for its time and now its being unleashed on the world in a world changing fashion.
With constant daily media attention all across the globe the crypto market will only continue to grow and grow to unprecedented levels making this a truly exceptional project to have the chance to be involved in.
Together we can change the way the world operates today.
Decentralized so absolutely no down time and so nobody or agency(government or anyone else) can ever take it down making this truly a world changing concept.
Together we can make a difference and revolutionize the world.

C-BAY TEAM

It is better to dived you portfolio in some part and invest. As Ex, keep 40% ETH,NEO and BTC.

Then invest other to good alts coins. This method is more secure than investing all wealth on one or two coins.when investing on alts coins ,ICO program are very importance if you can wait for some time. Normally good ICO return more than 5X in very short team.

I would buy a bitcoin right now if I were you

I would have invest them in MinexCoin, and start parking them in the MinexBank.
Maybe I am wrong maybe I am right but 10k if was me I am putting them in there and staking in the bank for a long period, who knows what happens in future.

It's stable coin, transparent, decentralized, devs are active, team is transparent and you can find them anywhere, working on updates all the time, and having the most awesome banking algorithm in the crypto world.
My FOLIO is not big enough to know about every coin, but from my FOLIO coins I mostly recommend this coins MinexCoin with his own MinexBank, and in near future it's own MinexExchange.

See it try it, also you can invest in couple of coins if you want to hold for a long period. You never know when you can get lucky, the crypto world is like the wild west.

But what I mostly advise you to do your own research and to invest in coins with bright future, and active development and most important transparency on the team and ont he updates they are doing.
That's what I have to say in short words, but remember... do your own research the most and follow your instincts.
cheers*

All of it in Smartcash masternodes

I am going to invest

30% Etherium
20% Bitcoin
10% Litecoin
10% Neo
10% Qtum
10% Zcash
10% Dash

Check out this new coin, already on exchange!  ROI looks very good!  Medical & Commercial Cryptocurrency with Masternode and Privacy!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-medic-coin-foldinghome-gpu-mining-masternode-coin-2753447

Do your own research, study your own investments and luck will come to you

I would make passive income if i had that sum to invest with. Cloud Mining contracts? or buy myself a GPU miner to mine around with alt coins and make money all comes down to mining to generate more instead of playing with alt coin, im kinda a geek / nerd i love playing around with machines

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,
Uttoran Sen

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. If this info helps please do what you can to spread word of my crypto education community for beginners CryptoSmart HUB https://discord.gg/jyTXVWz or donating towards developing quality educational materials!

Consider investing in your education DM me and I'll share a course you can register for, by an ex pro Goldman Sachs trader/investor who exposed the malpractices within the stock markets and offers pro training on Fundamental top-down market analysis!

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.

How about finding 250 students somewhere in Mexico or India, that will earn bitcoins for you with their signatures? You can pre-pay 40 bucks each of them. The problem is only to explain what they should do Then you'll have 150-200 good workers - you'll only need a reason for them to work for you... For example you could have wrights on their accounts...

You're wright, we need a good bitcoin specialist here!

In the near future, I'm going to come in to apx. $10,000. I have other investments as far as 401k and savings go, but I think I want this money to go to crypto.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what mix of cryptos you'd bet on if you had $10,000? I'm personally very bullish on cryptocurrency as a whole this year. I want to be very aggressive and would love to get 5x gains or better.

Also, are there any trustworthy professional crypto advisors out there that I could pay for their services and advice?

Thanks
