After 3 months I will be in the army for a whole year. And I came to the conclusion that I need to buy something for $1000. This is not an important amount for me, but at the same time, I want to come home and with probability to raise this amount. I want to hear the opinion of experienced people, it will also be interesting to look at this topic in a year. Who advised what)
I would suggest you that, if you want to invest in a coin that will yield you slow and steady profit, then always go for stable coins.
As you said you will look after the profit after a year then it's best to choose on the reliable coin available in the market. Moreover it's your own choice to choose whatever coin you like, but choosing a stable coin also yield you in loss as no one can exactly predict the price of the holy coins.
Moreover you also said that 1000 bucks is not a big deal for you, so you can freely invest in any coin you want without any tension.
If you want to consider my opinion , then i will say you to invest in ETH. It has equal chance to grow or equally fall.
Good luck mate.
