Right now I would say that it will be good to invest in ETH, like some others has recommended here. It is quite a good investment since ETH has been one of the most developed coin in the cryptocurrency scene and has a lot of plans for this year. I am not sure though how will the community react to when the time comes that it shifts from POW to POS, whether it would raise the price or it would drop everything down due to the fact that we should remember that the Ethereum Foundation practically holds shit tons of ETH in their reserves which will result to them being the biggest miners in case POS is implemented. However that will still take a long time, probably it would take more than a year to happen. Before that time, I think prices could even triple or quadruple due unless Bitcoins upgrades itself.
Ethereum is the good choice of crypto currencies to invest because this coin having high potential and possible to touch the position of bitcoin in the future. other than that the amount of this coin is affordable for many users, not like other crypto currency even bitcoin.
I prefer to go for lower capped coins that hold real potential, Ripple I will never touch because I don't agree with the centralization aspect of the coin, and I think Raiblocks is actually a much better coin than ripple, plus is it truly decentralized. I would rather have a 43% stake in Raiblocks than Ripple for that reason. Like I mentioned, I will diversify my portfolio into a few more top 10 coins, and Ether will be one of them.
If anyone is reading this and is unaware of Raiblocks, Oyster Pearl or Enigma, I suggest you read into them. All very insteresting projects that could have a big future.
I am aware that it is a risky game I am playing, but I feel confident I know what I am doing. I Hodl'd my BTC through thick and thin for 4 years before I was happy with the return and am happy to do the same for the Altcoins I believe in, I agree a little diversification will make my portfolio "safer".
Just to be clear as well, I am 100% believer in blockchain technology and even if I were worth $600,000,000 I would still have large stakes of my money in crypto, as I think it is the future.
Oh and for anyone that commented saying I don't sound a newb to the forum, I am not I hold a hero member status on another profile, but I wanted to be a bit more anonymous when talking about a delicate topic like this
