Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to all of this and I need some opinions. I realize nobody can predict the future......hear all, trust nothing. If you guys had 1 bitcoin to invest in an alt coin. What would you choose and why?

I'm not afraid of risk.

I was reading about Byteball and it seems interesting. I'm not expert and most of this stuff is over my head.

I hate to burst your bubble and this isn't going to be what you want to hear but I will tell it you to anyway. You can't really listen to anyone recommendations if you want to invest "1" Bitcoin and get in the money or make profit. You need to research and read various threads in regard to what you think might be successful. This isn't always the case. Now if you want to here the other side of the story or look at the other side of the coin, I invested in an ICO, this is my second one and I thought it was a good decision. You should make a decision in regard of what you want to invest/trade in, other peoples' advice is not always accurate and I warn against it.

I'd like to choose GNT, at least you can buy them at the cheapest price soon. this project will be big soon. Gbyte is including on the best place too.
With a lot of the supply have held by the big companies such as iconomi and it's mean the supply will be less. Because a lot of the coins are in the storage.

I would go for zCash as it has the potential. It has been on a steady downward trend for some time now and the price looks attractive. You will get 20-21 zCash for 1 Bitcoin and you can sit on it for a year. It might go up multiple times in that period.

Yikes.  You ought to be a little afraid of risk--that's what keeps us from doing stupid things with our money.

There are probably 10,000 threads about this already.  You ought to do some reading here, and you may get some ideas.  People are going to pile in here and pump their favorite shitcoin, and they're all basically that, shit.  My opinion is that you should just hold onto that 1 bitcoin.  It's more than a lot of people have here, and it's likely the only coin you'll see any sort of profit on.

To start, say "bye bye" your Bitcoin. I think Dash, Eth, Factom and Maid the most promising coins. They can bring a great profit in a few years

I think you should go for Iconomi.
It will diversify your investment and pay weekly dividends in Ethereum.

The best way to start into the crypto-world as an investor.

When you are planning to invest don't listen to other people because you are going to blame them. It's better for you do some research there are many coins are launching daily, study them, research them, pick the good one who are supporting it and invest in it. In this way you will acquire some knowledge about how to research.

I'm about to do the same thing and invest another BTC into SC (siacoin) - great technology, real-life usecases (especially minebox.to)

just my two satoshis ;)

As mentioned before, don't just buy based on someone's suggestion before researching it yourself.

Having said that, NEM, SC and ARDR are going to be big. XMR at this current price isn't too bad either.

keep that bitcoin if you can ,everything else will rip u off when btc jumps again you will be whats known as a "bagholder"

Listen, there is only one coin which will bring you guaranteed ROI in 2017: ICONOMI

They are finishing up on the development of their Open Fund Mgmt Platform. We expect deployment until February 2017. After that this coins price will surge to 10$+

Expect to see prices in the area of 100 - 200 $ / ICN in 2018...

Looking at the past perfomance of some coins. I will advice you to invest 0.1BTC in all the top 10 coins, and take your capital when the price double up. Most if not all the all coins in top 20 this time last year really perform very well.

if i had 1 bitcoin and i was new to trading, i would hold on to that 1 bitcoin and start learning trading without money first. then i would invest 0.01BTC at least and start testing what i have learned and then increase it to 1 bitcoin little by little when i gained some confidence.
if you invest 1 bitcoin right now you will be burning it so fast.
but after a while you will know how to make it double in a short time.

You are assuming that the OP has only 1 bitcoin and he wants to invest it fully. The OP probably has tens of bitcoins and wants to invest just 1 BTC in al alt coin. So there is no issue if he takes higher risk.

this is the only sound advice you're gonna get in the place like this. forget individual coins. forget fundamentals. there are none.

pumpers move from coin to coin. they don't give a shit what they are or what they claim they can do. if you'd done this on poloniex last year you would've done very well.

about byteball coin youre only linked bitcoin addres in 1 bitcoin balance to byteball addres
iam recomeded is iconomi coin, icomi coin ico selling price average 20k satoshi, this now price 42k satoshi,
iconomi the best ico selling in 2016, so potential incraese until reach over 100k or 1 dollar in 2017
if trading iconomi you can trade in kraken

This opinion is out of experience, cos anyone who plans to invest in an ICO took a risk. It is just an evaluated risk when you research the ICO. There are a lot to consider in any ICO you are researching which should be stated. ANN thread of such ICO is also a platform to ask questions, sometimes directly from the staff of the projects.

I would never but never go to buy an altcoin of which the price has been decreasing permanently since it has been introduced to the market ! I have no other recommendation as I am not in the altcoin game anymore. But yet I do not have a clue about what is good to invest in, I know what to avoid at any cost ! And ZCash is part of this category.

it`s better to keep your bitcoin in your wallet , never knows when the btc will rise at 2000 $

If i were you, i would start to make short time alt-coin trades with 1 btc my self. Find high volume coins with wavy graphs and push the button  8)

Since you are asking I invite you to look at Burstcoin,Icobid and Victoriouscoin and of course don't let the top altcoin in the coinmarketcap escape your attention,they should be your priority.

Spectre (XSPEC) just updated with the whole network running under Tor.
This makes it the most Anonymous coin in crypto surpassing all the Anon coins.
Visit thier forum, read and decide if you want to invest in this project. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1704473.340

The ICO ended with price 89sat or so but now around 3600sat and still way undervalued. I think this is the right time to invest in this project before the price sky rockets after their mobile remmitance app is released. Already on 4 exchanges and counting.

Ethereum classic 
Why?
1st of all it have one the biggest market cap among under $2 Crypto Currencies. Which is about $118,086,794.
2sd The lowest point this coin ever went was $.77. Even then the Market cap was about $70+ Million.
3rd there is a huge community dedicated due to Idealistic reasons. They estimate this could go up to $22. (I highly doubt it).

4thMicrosoft is looking into it.

Traders perspective.
Last year the coin touched its 52 week low $0.77. Since then It have risen up to $2(52 week high) .
Then it fell down to $1.17. With a week this rose up to 1.45.
Then it fell down to $1.35. Trading between $1.29- 1.35
IN my option $1.30 is the resistance line.
And in the upcoming weeks this is very likely to go up.
And if you wait long enough IT WILL Touch $2 Again. Bc in my option this coin is worth $2.

Disclaimer: This is only my perspective!!!   

What ever you chose you need to stay focused and cold headed. Putting money in non regulated exchanges and in generaly very risky and shady projects, is crazy. But this is only way for success.
If you are ready to risk then lern as much as you can.
Ask members for advices here and try to catch tricks. But Desisions are only yours.
Don't trust to nobody.


My advice would be buy Cloakcoin and wait for a while, it will double its value, at least,
but has potential to go over 100k sat, now is around 20k.

Nobody can presicted the future but your going to create your own destiny to know what your future really are  if i had 1 bitcoin 0.5  or half of it is going in to crypto trading and the other half will probably in to ico invesement to make profit by yhe end of the month isn't this good idea.

Since you are new to the alt coin space, I would invest in the top ten alt coins by market cap. I would buy 10% in each, and let’s hope you have more winners than losers.

Why aren't Polo or Bittrex listing this coin?

you can try Merca and see it here
https://mercatox.com/exchange

MERCATOX trading site, we know that many new altcoin created and of course they also require a trading site, MERCATOX is a place where you can buy some of their shares in the form of Merca course you will benefit from the payment of dividends

If 1 BTC is your whole coin. I dont recommended invest your whole BTC to altcoins. I think, separete better way. like holding 0.5 BTC buying 0.5 altcoins. If You think for long term. You definitely buy eth,etc,xmr,fct,(maybe)ltc,zec(maybe). and bitcoin is pumped nowadays. You should consider all this elements.

or invest in a casino, slow but long term profits

you're safest bet is probably to just keep your BTC and HODL. 

Trading in and out of altcoins will most likely produce a negative return.

BTC once it breaks ATH could rally pretty far up to 5-10k or so.

Altcoins I would research are NEM, IOTA, and FCT

Check out GAME and DCR, they are both announcing updates soon.

i would invest
1/5 in Monero
2/5 in Komodo
2/5 in Byteballs

Holding your BTC in wallet is "safe" but will you invest, and are not afraid about the risk, trade with your BTC. Not all in one coin. This can bring you good profits if you trade without emotions.
