i will buy nxt and ltc

buy  btc

That's a difficult question,30000$ is a big amount whether to keep it or invest it  is not an easy choice.  .... I would invest in bitcoin and litecoin

well, it seems he has more to spend. maybe it is 5% of its stake, so eh owns 600k $ and wants to invest a part of them into crypto.

Most people would do that but based on my understand of the OP you must spend it on cryptos my friend. 

NXT is currently the most mature 2.0 crypto, as well as the one with the most developed ecosystem due to the popularity of their asset exchange. They're kinda like the "Swiss army knife" of cryptos - which I guess could be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on the way you look at it.


That image is from February 2014 - i.e. only ~3 months after NXT was released:

Only 10% for Monero?  The Monerotards are going to swarm this thread any second now, demanding you increase the percentage to at least 50%.


As well why would anyone recommend anything for BTC?  The earliest adopters saw 450,000x return (BTC was originally fractions of a cent) and nobody investing anew today is going to see that.    Even if you believe in $10,000 BTC that's only a return of 50x and yet you're taking all the capital risk (losing all the sleep) while the guys who bought BTC, years ago, to acquire weed are laughing harder to the bank


I know a broken clock is right twice a day but the people who bought and held at $1250 are hurting, as are those who bought at $800, $600, $400... et cetera..   Most of the people who went exclusively alts in 2013 and diversified did better than the $1250 crowd who came in middle of the bubble.

Looking it that way, I would buy Crysler 300c for the $10000, and invest the rest in BTC LTC and PPC. Atleast I would be very happy with the car. The investment will be a good bonus or...

if you can afford a loss of your 30k $ then i would invest it into the following coins:

25% BTC
25% NXT
25% NEM
5% XRP
5% Qora
10% Monero
5% other liquid alts

 

If I could "spare" $30K, my crypto portfolio would be as follows:

$10K BTC  (Equals 45 BTC, leader of the pack, but must innovate! and lest we forget... $1200 per btc in 2013)
$10K XRP  (Equals 1.25 million XRP, huge potential upside w/banks & fintech, @ less than a penny per XRP, it's a bargain)
$5K LTC/PPC/XPM  (Solid, in sleep-mode legacy coins with good devs, could breakout anytime... or not)
$5K for BLK, BTS, Dash, STR or ?  (pick a coin w/innovative feature, high daily volume, low entry price, potential high flyer?)

My 2 crypto coins...

H.

I can't be excited about 1,150 addresses owning 10,000 NXT ($130 USD) after 1.5-2 years.  I actually thought the user adoption of NXT was a lot more than just 1,150 addresses owning a decent amount and I am shocked to read it is this low after so much time.

Have to recall addresses =/= people, one person can own multiple addresses.   It is a common security practice to split your funds across many addresses, to prevent the scenario of one theft taking everything at once.

So we're not talking about 1,150 addresses but really 100s of human users with multiple addresses.  NXT has no user adoption.

We're going into looney land if we're recommending people to invest $1000s of their hard earned money into a community which only has 100s of human users and many 4chan-like and other idiot personalities (also a long history of security incidents, developers disappearing, technical problems, abandoned or delayed projects, et cetera).

The idea is that SOME protocol will reach 100 billion. BTC is probably it, so for sure invest there - but, if BTC fails or something else overtakes it, then they will rise to some incredible valuation.

Whoever "wins" this ultimate race will be in the trillion plus range. I hope many of them rise together and form a large ecosystem - but, it could be that only 1 or 2 survive.

i'd only invest 5% or something of that in cryptos. would still be $1500 that could grow without too much risk.

look into shadow cashes tech!

Currently most (if not all) alts are tied to the BTC price.

Why invest in NXT ? Why so much belive in this Coin that he will go up ? So much belive in it whats your reasson to invest in it ?

You mean like Ripple?


Litecoin is pretty much the original altcoin (I know Namecoin technically deserves this honor but who forks Namecoin?).

ASIC resistance was certainly one of the main attractive points about Litecoin for a very long time (and before that it was GPU resistance) but there are many other things going for Litecoin which are still valid today. Litecoin might not be particularly interesting feature-wise but compared to other altcoins out there, they still have the most highly developed infrastructure, network hashrate and security, trading volume, no. of businesses which accept it, adoption, brand recognition, media exposure, support of exchanges, network effects, etc.

Also, ASIC resistant coins which employ multiple algorithms (e.g. Quark, Myriadcoin, etc.) have been developed in the wake of scrypt ASICs and yet almost all of these have failed so far - so perhaps ASIC resistance isn't as important as some people think.


NXT encourages address reuse while Bitcoin discourages it. There are also more Bitcoin addresses than NXT addresses because Bitcoin is the most popular crypto. In terms of distribution, NXT is comparable to Bitcoin nowadays and might even be better if you take Satoshi's 1 million BTC stash that's spread across thousands of addresses into account.

Here's an infographic from February 2014. The NXT has remained fairly low during the past several months so things have almost certainly improved since this chart was made:




Isn't a 100 billion dollar market cap a bit unrealistic? Even Bitcoin only managed to reach barely above 10 billion dollars during its peak. For an altcoin to have a 100 billion dollar market cap, Bitcoin's market cap would probably be in the trillions.

15k BTC
5k NXT
+(2k Assets on NXT)
5k ETH
1k NEM
1k XCR
+
1k ($100 dollars into every coin that passes 10 million in Market Cap which I don't currently own)

HOLD EVERYTHING until 2025+

@ 10 million marketcap, if you buy at that level and the coin wins out and goes to 100 billion... you make +/-10,000x.

If i would have $30.000 cash i would probably buy some Bitcoins. So far as soon as i get them i fast get tempted to buy Moneros. I cant help myself since always looks so cheap.  

Not sure if that is very usefull, in bitcoin and ltc, there are change adresses, your coins shift from one address to another even withouth most users notice about, for example, you send 0.5BTC and have 4 BTC -> there is an aoutpu of 1BTC from which 0.5BTC goes to your target and 0.5 back to another change address which you have the keys, now you have 3BTC address and 0.5BTC address
This makes the number of used accounts in BTC and clones increasse very easy

And about what to do with that 30k, don't ask here, is the best thing I can say... do your own research and don't get biased by any of the 98% trolls here
