If you're looking to make any sort of profit from cryptocurrency and you're just starting out, what do you think is the minimum starting investment you ought to put into it?
Yes, I know "you should only put in what you're willing to lose" but surely there should be a barest minimum, right?
Minimum is less than 0.5$ i guess, i wouldn't risk to trade altcoins with more than 10$ though. I guess you mean investment in altcoins as in trading, so that's why i say that. If you'll be able to get at least 5$ from 5$ that you deposited (example) then i think you could try to trade with more.
Hmm, that a really small amount, an impossibly small amount when you take into account deposit fees, minimum deposits, trading fees and withdrawal fees (I learnt those last two the hard way
). But yes, I am talking about trading and agree with the last statement.
In my opinion investing in crypto starts to make sense at USD 200 - 300,-. However you can get your feet wet with as little as USD 10,- so there's nothing wrong about starting small.
Watch out for withdrawal fees though. They differ from exchange to exchange and can take quite a bite off your investment if you invest only little and want to withdraw to a wallet of your own. I guess accounting for withdrawal fees the minimum viable investment amount would be at about USD 100,-
Absolutely. That and deposit fees. Like I said above, I learnt about withdrawal fees the hard way. I had to trade my balance twice for LTC just to get it off an exchange.

Most common words from people would be like that definitely "Just invest on the amount you can afford to lose"
If you are asking for an amount then this thing wouldnt have an exact number because people do have different financial states and we do have different views on which amount we do consider as a minimum amount. For me the minimum amount to invest on trading would be $100.Some may say it would be big or small enough but this is how i see on this amount.
I definitely agree. But even then there's a point where there's no point in putting it in. I started with faucets and my payouts were to Xapo but I had no idea their withdrawal fees and deposit fees where many times more than what I could claim in months.
Long story short, I don't have a Xapo account anymore.
