Topic: I have $1700 USD Make me up a Portfoilo! - page 2. (Read 3447 times)
@OP some of the suggestions here are absolutely horrible. Zerocoin was looking like an amazing project, but many new projects have pretty much made it useless. And don't get me started on MOON, FAST, SXC...
What is your risk tolerance?
IMO safest portfolio = 40% BTC, 30% LTC, 30% PPC
Balanced risk and safety portfolio = 30% BTC, 20% LTC, 25% PPC, 25% QRK
I think of BTC and LTC as standards. I see potential for PPC although not extremely rapid or large gains. I see Quark as an all or nothing coin. That thing is either gonna be up 10-30x by the end of the year, or it won't have budged in price.

I'd put it into Bitcoin, gold and silver (the real stuff not shit ETFs or other derivatives). If the $1700 is just extra money you can afford to miss with ease you could dabble in some altcoins. But no-one knows which altcoins have lasting value beyond a few months let alone a year or more. Most will crash to 0 eventually. They are nice to speculate with in the short term though.
Invest $1 each in all 1700 of the altcoins. Only way to make sure you're in on the "big one." LOL 
O and then when that BIG one hits he only makes like $32.54? lol
Anyway, I would do this:
$0 in BTC its already made its run there is no making money there, it will swing forever, boring, like a savings account.
I disagree. I think BTC will be the best bet just based on mainstream adoption. Doubt a lot of these other alts will amount to much if you can't buy anything with them.

$500 in LTC because its currently low around 0.26 until it hits 0.33BTC then sell and get out.
$500 in NET because its one of the few prestigeous coins with no premine, no instamine and very little promotion
$400 in MOON @ 10 then sell at 15, this is a short term play.
$300 in FAST only because it has dropped lately to around 1100, and get out when you make 50%
Just buy peercoin and hold for 2 years.

Well that depends on how big the "big one" goes.
I'd suggest Anoncoin. An anonymous coin is important for free speech, and even if it gets banned, it will still survive on Tor, so it's one of the few altcoin that I believe has a future.
Just buy some Casascius, Titan bitcoin, lealana or Altain mint's physical coins as they sure as hell will be worth alot as a collectors item in a few years 
Haven't Casascius stopped making them now? The prices these go for are ridiculous.

Ordered by highest ROI probabilities first and a longshot at the end.

And possibly this new Battlecoin. It seems like the only innovative one that doesnt have some rich fuck at the top of a mountain with a stack of premined.
Screw Protoshares, NXT, Quark, Mastercoin, and even Ethereum. IPO's will ruin Crypto's. Beware of anything sounding like a Ponzi. If it sounds like a duck...

Thanks for the idea on the mining rig! I didn't think I could make a roi from mining though after electricity costs ect though?
With the introduction of ASIC miners this year wouldn't this be a bad idea though? can the new ASIC miners mine script coins ect? Sorry if these a stupid questions I just never opened up the idea of buying a mining rig instead of investing..

You'll be fine. In a month or two you will see where the profit lies. As for ASICs, well, you still have eight months.
You will fail first couple of times if you decide to build a rig, but eventually you will make some money. When you do make some money, you will start to seriously consider mid-/long- term investing. If you are capable to make some money in this jungle, you will bust your ass trying to keep it or make some more. You'll learn, like anyone else here.
That's the best way. Better than ask for an advice from day traders.
You could buy a ready built rig off ebay for that if you dont have the knowledge or want to get up and running quickly. Only to mne alt cons though. Btc is only for asics now and big companies.
However the 2 - 3 big ones will earn you less than the 1700 USD which you lose at 1697 remaining coins... Its like betting all numbers in roulette.
Not if you invest early. Like within the first week or two within a coin joining an exchange. Generally this is when price is lowest (obviously). So, hypothetically speaking you could invest x amount early on and sell for 2-5x roi fairly safely.
Litecoin may be your safest bet. But maybe gamble on a few of the cheaper alts like Feathercoin, Worldcoin and Mega.

Wouldn't Zerocoin be at risk at getting totally banned in the US. From the last New York hearings they seemed to keep stressing how they hate fully anonymous coins and tumblers, but gave bitcoin benefit of the doubt because of the public ledger..
It's a decent point, but does it necessarily have a negative impact on price ?
BTC did quite well 0-$1200 with mainly the Chinese and Ukranians providing the price discovery. Not much US involvement there.
That said, regulation will legitimise the arena and acceptance - still, anonymity may have its niche ... and perhaps there wont be such a proliferation of copycats.
Buy 3 AAPL stocks.
I'm a NXTer so I admit bias, but if you want something that is sustainable and still hasn't fully launched yet in terms of value: NXT
NXT is almost guaranteed to double up A LOT of times more. The main features and a userfriendly client hasn't even launched yet. Just now are the media picking up attention for it.
So if I were you I'd put it all in NXT.
If however you are just looking to play lotto and hope to hit the random altcoin that will be pumped and dumped next: I'd rather invest it in poker. At least in poker you have quite a lot of influence if you know math.
