Ok first of all long time ago someone (i forgot his name) on this community told me to invest on Ethereum and i invested 500$ on it... But for my mistake i store to all my coin to site http://ethereumwallet.org/ that got scammed and site closed and ran away with lots of people money :(

if it was still in my real wallet i would have made 14x on my investment :( i remember buying those coin at 0.85$ from shapeshift...

Now i have around 1K $ to invest on any other altcoin. which is the best now to invest on a altcoin...?

you could diversify your investment in various ICOs.
Lisk ICO is unfortunately over, but you invest in "waves" ico (5% bonus as of now,i think) OR "DAO" (20 million has been already invested into it.)
BUT the best investment i would say is buy bitcoins as block halving is approaching.(pretty sure you won't get 10x by investing in btc, but it is a sure profit)

SUPREMEcoin

There are alot of good opportunties. Pick the one that suits you :)

What, never heard of it!

Doge or dash.  People will eventually stop buying the shittier coins and start buying the older ones again.  The prices tend to be a bit more stable.   If you buy stuff like eth and lisk and all, you could easily lose your dough.

Invest 250$ in DAO, 250$ in waves and 500$ in BTC. Is a good and safe way to make a big profit in a fast time. Good investments

i think this is a good option. @ShooterXD @starboyshuvo

You will in due time

I have SYS so I'm biased, but I could see it well above 10k sats come Winter time (It's currently 2k).

Do your own research, and don't listen to investment advice from a message board. Especially here, in the land of bagholders... :)

You are safer to just stick with bitcoin. I believe there is a better chance bitcoin will survive compared to any altcoin out there. Bitcoin is risky, but less so than the alternatives. Expert traders may make money on the altcoin pump and dumps, but for the average joe who believes bitcoin is here to stay just buy and hold.

This is a good strategy. I would agree with this allocation.

ICOs are purely gambling and gambling can hardly be considered to be investments.

With all due respect, buying an altcoin or even bitcoin is 'gambling and can't be considered investments' It is all unknown and speculative

ICOs is a gambling when you dont know about the strategy of coin. Só many ICOs has a success when they lauched. Just search infornation about the ICOs trustworthys and be happy. CYA

No. I am LordD and I as the sovereign appoint my self to as secretary of the Department of Dental Security (DDS), and the SUPREMEcoin ICO will go exactly as I have designed.

LIBERTY IS RISING
LIBERTY IS RISING
LIBERTY IS RISING!

NEM

no because bitcoin is well accepted, it's different, this is what make bitcoin strong, but i agree that soem ico are worth investing in, like lisk for example, i invested there, knowing that there will be a great profit!

If you would like to loose btc this is a valid question. But honestly some users surely give valid information but when it comes to crypto dont listen to anyone, read the ann's follow the threads, check web pages, check charts @ exchange. If you take anyones advice your most likely going to loose btc. (Not saying anything negative about 1 single response, but everyone here can tell you they have lost btc at one time for listening to someone else).

Seriously though, no one here can tell you the best to invest for you. Not trying to put a damper on anything but I am sure you would rather loose btc and learn something than loose it and learn nothing except that you got bad advice.

Mate I also want to recommend CBX or crypto bullion it also have good opportunity and the dev giving away 30% free if you buy ot from cryptopia all you have to is to PM the dev team they will send another 30% of what you buy from cryptopia. you can check it here mate

You might wanna try the ICO instead.
investing the coins that already exist on exchange seem to be only good if you can buy a lot of it for its the only way to profit. My suggestion for an altcoin is CREVA and SIB, i do think they are going to be valuable for the people in Korea and Russia.

My picks are Monero and IOTA Token. First one doesn't even have GUI interface but it's already very well known and technically better than Dash. IOTA Token will explode after launch, you can maybe try to buy it on forum. Ethereum is a good investment too. Bitcoin - no way - it's suffocating and after halving, spiral death is expected, it will be unable to process transactions in timely manner - miners will switch of massively and time until difficulty adjustment is critical, people will start to cease using it. Thanks Blokstream.

It would be CBX for me due to the low inflation rate and few supply. Not to mention Pi wallet bringing 24/7 staking at a very cheap maintenance fees, APIs and other projects.

Not interested in Doge coin myself but I think Dash would be a good mid to long term investment,  they just seem to always be releasing some new cool feature that keeps them standing out among all the other alt coins on the market.

Waves, DAO (both still in ICO-phase) and SYS. There are probably more promising alts out there but those mentioned are the ones I believe could yield a (significant) profit if you invest today. You might want to keep an eye on Lisk; it will be released on the 24th of May and an initial dump may occur, lowering values so you could hoard some Lisk cheap before it goes up again. Regarding Lisk, the dump-first-rise-later scenario is only theory and the reality could be different ofcourse.

Now i have 3 cbx better invest now .. try to look for a thread of cbx and gbt.. also lisk for the future if they release it.

LTC, Decred , DNET, Verge in the buyzone now


Marging driven coins on Poloniex are still too expensive at the moment. Will not touch them until end of the year.
Waiting  to accumulate Monero at 50-80k SAT and Bitshares at 200-400 SAT this year   8)

I would pick Gridcoin (GRC), as it is one of the more interesting coins out there. It's idea is brilliant but also easy to understand for people not in crypto before, see for example this thread that was on the frontpage of reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/4b4drk/a_currency_minted_by_doing_science/t1_d16hch5

Gridcoin (GRC) replaces mining with doing research for scientific projects, for example to cure Ebola (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/oet1/overview.do), fold proteins (https://boinc.bakerlab.org/) or find aliens (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/).

From a user's point of view, he simply has to run simulations from the different projects using the BOINC software (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/). Then the network comes to a consensus, who has contributed how much computing power to BOINC, which can bee seen for example here (http://www.gridresearchcorp.com/gridcoin/?result&t=CPID_Leaderboard). This process is decentralized among all nodes, there is no central server issuing all coins like it is for example the case with Curecoin. In some blocks this consenus is saved in the blockchain and the reward one gets when staking a block is proportional to how much research was recently done for BOINC by this researcher.

Setting it all up has been quite complicated in the past, but the pool on pool.gridcoin.co has made alle this easier and already has more than 900 active miners/researchers (http://pool.gridcoin.co/rankings)

I also has very active development, here is the main forum: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
More information and tutorial to set it up here: www.gridcoin.us
 If you are interested visit our IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net:6667/#gridcoin

Cannabis becoming legal should have a positive effect on several Cannabis themed coins that truly dabble in the trade. Do some research and make sure the coin has evidence of some kind backing up there claims with pics or vids. If the Cannabis themed coin has nothing but coders behind it without growers or Dispensarys it is no different than any other coin.

I am agree to your quote chief, but the answer is within our analyzation but merely our research about coin and decision making when investing on it.

Cbx has a good future for me.. better to invest it in cbx.. they are now working to release a new project.. also the Raspberry pi they already released it.. and i think the price of cbx sooner or this year we will see the changes of this altcoin..

Agree this guess , Can you make a Lisk to compare with Waves or Ethereal ?

as investments are quickly recompensed

Vcash and DECRED.
Thanks me later

Nah, you can't fully compare those three alts as they're in different phases of development. Ethereum has already been on the market for months, Lisk is now between ICO and release and ICO of Waves ends at 31st of May I believe. Lisk offers a seemingly solid technology and could become a mayor player in the world of cryptocurrencies.

NEM has a long series of firsts and will continue to do so. It is also seeing serious development and testing in Japan.

I would invest 70% of my capital in bitcoins, 20% in ethereum and the other 10% in a couple of promising new altcoins, but this is just a conservative opinion because I always will keep my confidence in bitcoin but more based on emotional things than on real facts.

1st things first, if you're going to invest in a cryptocurrency, get the software running on your own computer so you won't get scammed again. Relying on some 3rd party to store your coins pretty much defeats the purpose of cryptocurrency.

second thing, the altcoin to go with is monero.

I will give every time the same advice:

- Look at the technology. No, not the number of "planned features", but look at the problem the cryptocurrency is trying to solve. If it's a relevant problem (like scalability or energy consumption), then you can take that coin into account.
- Look at the developers. How is development organized? It's better to have a open model than a "monarch-like" lead developer or an completely anonymous "team".
- Look at the community. Are they only in for the easy money? If most posts in the ANN thread are about price, don't invest.
- Ignore advice from all members with an altcoin (ICO etc.) in their signature (or personal message ;D)

Look for nxt.org

- Look at technology:
   https://nxtwiki.org/wiki/Current_Features

Look at the developers:
- Jean-Luc and other anon , if you want to help just go to the forum and publish your code, simple, free and easy.

- Look the community:
  -nxter.org - Magazine made by the users and using nxt tech to paydividends
  -https://nxtforum.org/index.php
  - Debune and others projects - You can find in the AE (Asset Exchange) all types of investment since youtubers until big projects like Debune
 

Ignore advice from all members with an altcoin:
 lol


Nxt is an altcoin devalued. Take a look and try a demo:

Better to invest in altcoin after btc ath on halving .

There are so many altcoins appearing on the market every day that it's becoming harder and harder to find good ones. Most of them are just shitcoins.

But, think about it. Who needs altcoins when you can have BTC? I suggest you go hold BTC, instead of getting altcoins. In the long run, altcoins might die off, but BTC will definitely live on.

this blockchain's tech is the tech that every bitcoiner dreaming of:

https://youtu.be/IS51MXxQMZQ

but sorry that it isn`t belong to bitcoin,it's belong to Vcash...cheers  :D :D

You're damn right

Litecoin.  Litecoin and Bitcoin, nothing else.  Don't get scammed.

I think NEM, DAO.

atm i think altcoins are in big trouble like you should not but money in them atm .. maybe wait for -300% or 400% sales from here and if btc goes up just incase do not buy alts i think ltc is good now as it move with btc

Research and then invest, i would recommend NEM.

Right now, litecoin is dropping. Litecoin is getting weaker each day.

Bitcoin still stable and rising a little. But Bitcoin isn't an Altcoin.

Then it would be good to check into NEM too if you go buy these rules.

I'm up for ICO recently but i'm not really sure what I'm doing though I just bought them and hope they will really be valuable later.
how do we know they are just up for easy money? would it help if they are anonymous or simply known which they give away their linkedin profile?

Says the guy with an altcoin in his signature :P

Depends on your investment horizon. Longterm almost all coins in the top 20 are a good investment in my opinion. But if you look short-term then there are some promising ICOs at the moment like DAO or WAVES.

Definitely BigUp!

We have had some significant developments recently and all signs are pointing up... BIG UP!!

Main information thread is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1367075.0

BigUp is positioned to be a BIG winner by design

If you are interested in a detailed explaination of why BigUp is great from a financial math perspective take a look at this post:

Just stick with Bitcoins and Litecoins. Now is not really a good time to be buying BTC for I think there is going to be a dump soon and when that happens get as much as you can and let them be secured in a cold wallet for one or two months. For LTC, if you are willing to wait for a year or so to see profits(GOOD PROFITS !); sow now reap later.

NXT and NEM are, indeed, two of the "better" choices, with an active community and good developers, both with really useful features. Although I'm not sure if NEM is actually in a little bubble, but I don't expect it to go much lower. Long-term, I expect both NXT and NEM doing well.


I don't know which ICO coin you mean, but generally ICOs from anonymous "devs" are dangerous. A linkedin profile may be not enough. It's better if they can show some code. If there is much greed in the forum thread and nobody talking about the coin's features, it's also a warning sign.

Don't go the bigup route. Its buyers are dwindling (2 sat). You will have to own like 100mil just to compete with all the other stakers to not make jack nor crap.

in the following month i think LISK is going to be the best altcoin if you can catch it early on before it lifts off.

and also there is always eth where pumpers can start pumping it again after the dump stopped.

I agree with you. I think NXT and NEM are the best altcoins (building from scratch) both have strong community. A great news for investor -> NXT 2.0 will have a new ICO coming soon. Be aware. 
Different from other developers who live on other people's communities looking for bugs and glitches and generating mischief all around the foruns. Devs of the two communities(NXT and NEM) focus on developing their currencies and not attack other communities.
The only problem with NEM is they dont have a Linux client and tornado is now offline. :/

Yall are not paying attention if you don't think it's loyyal/RibbitRewards.

Now's the time to buy, when very few are paying attention.
It will no doubt hit 1k sats (at least) eventually. That's 3x from current price

The greatest successes will come from coins that are able to capture the attention of the consumer. This means branding is key.

Anyone not currently invested in GoldCoin (GLD) is sure to miss the largest gains in crypto history. We're gaining steam and will not be stopped!

~~

You can invest in nearly all of the top 20 altcoins. The whole crypto market is still on the beginning of the development and it will rise over the next years. The top 20 promises profit. When you want to really invest in something new and special then I would wait some more days until IOTA is released.

When considering an alt-coin, I would first ask the following questions:
1) What problems / issues does Bitcoin currently face?
2) Does the alt-coin address these issues, and if so how?

Bitcoin currently faces two main issues that prevent its widespread use as money:

a) Bitcoin cannot scale at the protocol level, otherwise known as the blocksize issue. The current Bitcoin blockchain is limited theoretically to 7 transactions per second and in practice to around 2-3 transactions per second. For comparison VISA can peak at well over 40,000 transactions per second. Furthermore this limitation in Bitcoin will not be overcome by technological improvements in processor power, network bandwidth, digital storage, etc since they are baked right into the protocol. As of this point I have not seen a solution for Bitcoin that addresses both the scaling of the blocksize and the security of the network once the emission runs out.

b) Fungibility. As more and more companies are getting into "Bitcoin blockchain analytics" and selling their proprietary "solutions" to industry participants there is no guarantee that one's Bitcoin are going to be accepted in a transaction because some proprietary algorithm alleges that one's Bitcoins were used in say an illegal transaction N transactions ago. This is not an issue with cash and a digital cash equivalent needs to have at least the same level of fungibility as cash.

If one looks at the top 20 crypto currencies, that are both proof of work and whose primary purpose is their use as money, Monero is the only one that fully addresses both of the above issues in Bitcoin.

Monero addresses (a) above by using both an adaptive blocksize limit combined with a tail emission. A tail emission would break a critical social covenant in Bitcoin making this solution impossible in Bitcoin and taking the tail emission out will make the coin insecure as the emission runs out. This is the fundamental problem with the design of Bytecoin for example. Dodgcoin does have a tail emission and could add Monero style adaptive blocksize limit with a comparably minor change in the social covenant but at this point has not done so.

Monero addresses (b) above by using a very elegant mixing method using ring signature that allows instant mixing with existing transactions on the blockchain. This avoids the need to use a second level of mixing servers (Coinjoin in Bitcoin, Dash masternodes) that introduce both delays (it can take hours or even days to mix Dash) and a very significant regulatory risk associated with the operators of the mixing servers.

To get the real picture on how the market has valued Monero over the last 2 years I would suggest taking a look at the historical market capitalization https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monero/#charts (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monero/#charts) rather than just the price. This will account for the fast falling emission rate in Monero.

Seems that LISK is hogging the attention, So far has been more marketing than releases, However  it has one of the largest communities and good developers. If it want to compete with ETH it need get a move on.

I think most people here don't really care about the technical aspects of the altcoins, they just need a quick buck, by buying an altcoin before its rise and selling it at the first pump.
Monero and Dash both have some great features, they have been in the market for a good time considering the history of cryptocurrencies. But one may just ask why is Bitcoin is kicking ass and going to the roof lately ? With all the technical limitations on scalability, block size and red flagging coins ? because it is appealing to the investor and that's why you should think like an uinvestor to make money not like a technical guy, because being superior does not guarantee success.

i agree 100% no one seems to care if the alt coin even have a future, aslong as its hyped and people are buying they are happy making money.

You need a lot of research of your own and people recommendation to come out with your own list
get into the coin with high volume,community support active dev and a feature that is unique
these are a few in my portfolio Rubies,Bioscrypto Cbx Bigup, Billary Gpu is ok too

Not 100%. Some of us actually do care if the coin actually has a future and are prepared to wait for the fundamental value of a coin to materialize. I see the value of a crypto currency as ultimately determined by people using it in commerce, where those people have no interest in speculating on its value, with the more people using the currency in commerce, the more valuable it becomes. The likelihood of this occurring in the future is the risk vs return analysis one makes. Market timing is primarily about getting a fair price as opposed to the best possible price, and cost averaging strategies become part of the buying process.

A similar approach with stocks is to look at the long term earnings and growth potential of a company over the long term based upon fundamental factors. Among the most famous and successful investors who use fundamental analysis is Warren Buffett and his 9 rules for choosing stocks http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/12/05/9-rules-that-helped-warren-buffett-produce-a-18261.aspx (http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/12/05/9-rules-that-helped-warren-buffett-produce-a-18261.aspx). One set of rules that are not present is: Buy high hoping to sell higher and my favorite bear equivalent of sell low hoping to buy lower. This set of rules are known as the greater fool theory.

My take is that many of the same principles of fundamental analysis for stocks can also be applied to crypto - currencies.

I've done well in Lisk, but not sure if its the best time to invest.  Lots of headroom to grow but still alot of work to be done.  Waves just finished a really big ICO campaign but thats closed now.  The only ICO i see left worth investing in is RISE.  Still a couple weeks left in the ICO.  If anyone wants info on it follow the link on my sig.

  Any one else know of any other ICO opportunities right now?

With that capital ($1000) I would invest 300 in bitcoin, 100 in lite, 200 DAO, 200 eth, and 200 in a basket of several other alts.

NXT 2.0 is coming soon, prob re-branded  buying some NXT now you can change for FNXT: And look there NXT  in forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/rogeraitken/2016/06/10/is-a-blockchain-solution-for-brexit-voting-transparency-the-answer/4/#6e07deb44788

For now the best option is not to buy any because of the price jump.

Yes, that  sounds the most appropriate and safe for the moment as calm returns.

true, altcoins will go down even further if btc continues its rally.

IMO Ethereum is one of the possible Bitcoin Killers. If you want to invest in another crypto you might take a look at it. You can also check out LISK and the Dao, I believe it is a good investment as well!

With the current hike btc is going through you should stick to btc/usd/eur etc. With the current price dips you can make a nice chunk  by converting between btc & usd.

But if you want my honest opinion I think semi short term alt coin to invest in is doge. doge ran @ like 11 sat around 6 months ago and hiked to 49-53 sats for a few months and now teetering between 38-41 with spikes of 46.

I only recommend doge because even if you dump every bit of your btc into it its one of the few makets currently thats price doesnt plummet to nothing if it begins to crash or you panic sell. loss is minimal.

Invest is not the correct term....check out SC, ETH for day or short term trading.
Do your due diligence before buying, of course.

Trader's dream going on right now....ETH 23% down...short here.

for me the best altcoin to invest is waves, rise,that bela and 777,..
this is good for a newbie to invest here,.. :)
