If you had $50,000 to invest into mining, or coins...

Would you GPU Mine, or buy Asics?
What percentage would you put into altcoins?

I'm curious to see how others would spread their money.

For me, I would probably start with half GPU mining, half Asics.  I'm new though so I'm not sure what is best if I had that type of money.

I'm not sure if I would want to invest $50,000 in crypto! This is such a volatile market I'm not sure if that would be the best idea considering all of the possible investments out there. I'd definitely buy some mining rigs... Though bitcoin mining isn't quite worth it anymore, you could make more mining altcoins as soon as they're able to be mined, I've heard. So bitcoin is off the table, but I'd look for some altcoins to mine.

Otherwise, I'd be too nervous to invest in anything other than bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most stable coin in this volatile market, and even then that's a stretch. All of this is considerably crazy and with all the FUD going on I'd hold off on buying for awhile. This market might just be starting to recover but it still needs more time.

If you do have $50,000... good luck, and you'll need it!

mine is safer but do you room to put all things? mining is very noisy.but If dont have any skill trading I think mining still better

To run 50k worth of mining You would have to have a great setup.
First, that is a lot of power, most houses are not even wired to have that much flow through. Setup a company and get energy discounts.
Second, that is a lot of heat, you would have to have a good method to get rid of it. Since with more heat your performance goes down

In my opinion you would have to invest 25k in having the right saleable setup, 25k in buying GPUs

I will definitely choose mining, investing coins is really dangerous, choosing the wrong coins will lead to losing a lot of money although it can also be very profitable but I like stable and more sure things to earn so I will split $40000 for mining and $10000 for alt coins

Not really sure what I would do with all that money but please dont put all your eggs in one basket.

If we have $50k worth of money then splitting them into various options would be the best thing to do as they say never invest all of your money into a single entity. So i would probably buy some rigs and start up with mining. I won't mine BTC as it is not cost efficient, so may be altcoins would be the best choice to mine. Then I will invest some of the money into altcoins and the rest in Bitcoin. I will also keep 20% of the amount in fiat as it will be needed at some of time in future to invest further into the investment.

If you choose mining, you have to search a lot otherwise you can not manage it. You can buy 20-30 gpu mining rigs (6 gpu each). You need to find cheap electricity proper room and proper cooling method.

i'd take the top 10 coins and spread it evenly with eth, lite, and btc being a heavier majority % of the portfolio.

Mining requires some experience, not anyone can just buy rigs and sit back and mine you need to know how to run the software etc. Investing is easier since you simply have a wallet and put your coins in them and sit back. That also takes some educating since you need to becareful where you put your money, not all coins are bound to shoot to the moon, most of them flop.

I am not comfortable with mining as well the equipment to buy and set up and final return is very slow if investing 50000$ I could invest on promising Ico and som altcoin trading before put my hard earn money will do lots of research atleast for a week.

I would say definitely investing.  If you have $50,000 to invest then you have the time to learn about the different coins, and watch closely to buy and sell.

Mining while might be perceived as safer, its actually not.  Sure coin prices fluctuate a lot, but the overall trend for mining at all times is a downward spiral.   While getting more people buying a coin makes the price go up.  Having more and more people jumping into mining actually makes the profitability fall.  IE Difficulty rises.  

If you do go the mining route.  At the very least find a coin that doesn't have ASIC's yet.  While ASIC's are the best for mining, it's also the easiest entry point, which also makes it the ones with the most competition, and every few months it seems some company is releasing a new ASIC that totally destroys the hashrate of the older miners making them essentially paperweights.

I will choose mining because it is safer than trading and you should know that there are many bad currencies that can cause you huge losses.

With a lower capital, I've done both.
Mining has lesser risk (hardware failure) but is slow and steady income. Pro-Predictable results Con-Longer ROI
Trading/holding coins are high risk but gives immediate profit.

As for me I'd prefer put money in a long term investment in BTC, ETH, NEM.

The best solution in this case would be to buy good old bitcoin and simply wait for a couple of years till the investment is about twice as big. Really, I wouldn't go for mining, because it requires a lot of your attention and knowledge, plus there's quite a risk of the things getting broken even before you can get your money back from mining. Moreover, the extremely high bills for electricity will result in unneeded attention of the governmental institutions to your business.

If you are an experienced trader, then trading is significantly better for returns. If you dont know how to trade (never done it outside of crypto or only been trading in crypto less than a year) then go for mining as its guaranteed long term gains.

I would go for coins and would diversify the investment in multiple coins including BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC and other smaller coins. 

Wish I had 50,000 to invest and I would go for it! ;D

If I have such amount of money I will rather invest it in different coins and new project during ICO since I don't know much about much about mining. The problem in mining is the cost of electricity which very high in my country.

Before you think of going into mining, I will gladly urge you to go through the mining section of this forum and learn more on the present mining trend. Hopefully this can even be moved for you to mining section by the admin. Mining so far is not a child's play! However, if you want to, I'd consider ASICs instead. If I were to have such amount of cash though, mining would actually be the last thing on my mind. I will consider splitting at least about 40% of it into some altcoins with huge prospect, while I use the rest for bitcoin. Then I will consider trading at least 40% of the 60% bitcoin I purchased to earn more. Now, I am a trader, So I am speaking from the trader perspective by assuming you already know how to trade and if you don't, there are so many resources online to help you with that. Trading to me will get you the best and quickest profit in no time.

For me I would diversify it 3 ways. No. 1 Buy ASIC's along with GPU to mine other alts. 2. Also I would pick some new alts that have yet to be shilled or have proven track record of more than 2 plus years and are in consolidation zones.

$50,000 is too big for an investment and I'm going to be wiser for spending that money. I'm always looking for positive results and though the difficulty in mining with GPU's and asics are even higher today. I'm going to focus with trading on this thing but I'll still mine. I'm going to build 2-4 GPU rigs on this money and will certainly buy a lot of ETH and bitcoins. Trading has less maintenance unlike mining though it's also profitable.

That's big money dude. I will probably put 50% of the money in to my wallet in the form of bitcoin. This is because I don't want to be complete loss with that kind of money. Saving this for cold storage would be ideal as my money will still grow and it would be my back up money in long run.


Rest of the amount is still bug and I will choose ASICS rather than gpu. The gpu are getting costly and you will need lot of them to cover the block problem solving capacity. With ASICS you will get the power and the money that you investing a lot to maintain at lest 10 units. That would be great rig to start with. From the profits you can buy more and keep multiplying your rig to have great profits in the future.

i think i would invest almost everything in crypto , and buy 1 or 2 ASICS...
there are coins that worth the investment
but its only if you are really able to spend 50,000$...
its psychological thing
not because are going to lose this money
its because you need to hold and be patient.. and if this money is too important to you, you can not hodl . .. .

If I have that huge amount to invest then without thinking much I will prefer to invest majority of my money in bitcoins and hold it for long term and rest I will diversify in different coins like ETH, Waves, XRP and XMR which has potential to go much higher in future.

If I had $50,000 dolars, I would start with GPU mining and mine altcoins only. I would invest at most 10,000$ on GPU mining. I would not invest onto asic mining since it would be hard for me to ming with GPU and ASIC at the same time. I would put 30,000$ on bitcoin and hodl it for long term. Lastly, I would invest 10,000$ on altcoins that I trust and on some of the TOP coins that are sitting in a pretty low price that I have took an interest into.

Damn.

I will use $10000 to buy asics
$10000 to buy gpu mining
$20000 buy BTC and hodl.
$5000 trading
$5000 pay electricity bill

I would buy 10K USD BTC, 10K for Bancor, 10K for ETH , 10K Ripples, 10K Blackmoon.

I don't have that enough knowledge about mining though I really wanted to try that one out though, but would cost much to set it up and the monthly bill for your electricity should be something to think about too, so if I had that amount of money now I think I would rather spend it on coins. Probably dividing it in half, half would be for bitcoin investment and the other would be for other altcoins that have potential.

I think minning with help of asics will be more profitable than investing in altcoins. In mining you can expect returns in less time as compared to investing which requires more time for a good return.

no miners, just alts and trading bots :)

Well the question was either or so I'll answer with my opinion.  For me, I'd invest it and not mine; mostly because the space, energy, and time it takes to get a mining setup to consistently deliver profits.  If you already have deep mining skills and understand the setups, and also the logic behind deciding most profitable coins, and access to low cost or free energy, then maybe mining is the way to go.

For me, I don't see mining as something you purchase and walk away from, it's something you have to manage and work at.  Since I've chosen investments, this is what I'd do with my money.  I'm a pretty conservative (for crypto at least) investor I'd create a short list of mostly stables coins:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Omisego
• Dash

I'd put 40K of the 50K into those.  Then I'd create a highly speculative list for coins I see could 'moon' over the next year or so:

• NEO
• Monero
• DeepOnion

Then I'd go to TradingView and setup alerts for when the prices crash (because they always do) and use those to purchase the above list of coins.

You should buy a good amount of altcoins and some good mining machines! But you should choose a lot a bags, never go all in at one coins!

If I were to use that amount of money, I would just invest it to coins. Mining in our country is not advisable, electricity is to expensive in our country. I would just diversify my investment and choose coins that are worth investing. Most of it would be invested in bitcoin.

If I have 50k, I would invest it in Spectre ICO. With the model they have couple with the singular mission of broker less platform. Once they are able to build this platform and deploy it properly, my 50k would become 5million.

but if not in such a hurry and just love to hold mining also will give you a lots of opportunities especially if you will going to mine alts that will grow
after some years, maybe split it up into 3 parts mining , holding btc and alt trading.

It's a big amount of money, if you were to consider mining you should have a big room, a nice set-up, good computers and some good people you can trust to maintain your computers from functioning well. If ever you will invest, you should diversify your investment and choose the best coin to invest in.

Cloud mining exist, you could use that service to mine a coin that you know is going to rise in price in the long term and something personal I would do is to take $1000 and spread it out on some promising, small, new altcoins, worst case scenario you lose 5% of your $50k.

If I were you I would deversify that amount 50/50 to ASICS and CRYPTO. But you still need experience to choose the right coins to mine and to buy. It would take all your time ;)

I don't see any use of ASICS and gpu miners now a days. Starting from the scratch is just not the good way to go in this era. If you would have offered this much money few years ago then I would have sat up whole rig with two three dozen of ASICS and maintain it. But for now that option is closed and we must choose the right and profitable path to invest money.

With that amount I will have most of the bitcoins and few top most altcoins covered as my investment. I will keep rest of the share as fiat and will watch the potential coins in the future as new ICO will coming everyday. On top of that I will use that fiat to buy bitcoin when it will fall very much below.

So just trading and investing but no mining for sure.

If you buy coins you dont really need to do anything.

If you buy GPU cards you will need to first everyday search for best profit coins. Everyday search for most efficient miners. Everyday sell your coins to pay electricity.  If all that interest you. It is way better to mine. If you would get bothered with that and you would do it sloppy then is better to just buy coins. Since you might miner with bad miners or mine wrong coins and pay electricity more expensive then you would selling of coins bring you.

There is no small budget to start investment. It will be a good start for you.
It's not late to invest in crypto coins. Split them to 5 and go to coinmarketcap. Invest them directly to top 5 coins in same ratio of coin cap.
Then you will be a happy man after 2-3 years.

I will invest the half into mining so i can have a passive income which is a great way to have a stable source of income and even the coins that i will put the half will not get a good performance in the market then i will not feel bad because i have mining which will give me consistent profit each and everyday.

I would buy coins and the reason is I dont actually have time to take care of mining equipments. it may be better than to HODL but HODLing is the easiest way to make profit..

I would rather invest in several trusted coin traded funds than start mining.

Surely I will invest in the potential altcoin, in the future the market will be larger than the present and the cost for mining is very high.

first of all I would invest inmyself-trading courses with cost few thousends,then put in  btc(half of my budget,other money in alt coins such-nem,bancor,lite,eos,ethereum,ripple,decred,neo,net)

for a couple of months i am actually interested in mining although i don't have nearly as much as OP has but this topic was helpful a lot. from my research my plan is to build a mining rig with at least 6 GPUs and start mining some of the GPU mining altcoins.

my only concern is the electricity bill. the cost is extremely low in my country but the issue is that it will increase if you use more. it is like a cumulative thing. to some level of kWh you get extremely cheap price per kwh and then it increases for the next step and goes up each step.
for now i am trying to figure out which step of this i am going to fall into so that i can calculate how much it will cost me. if it were good for 6 GPUs then i will get right on it.

If i had 50,000 to invest i would have choos to diversify my portfolio as follows :

40% On good Altcoins
40% On Bitcoin
20% Stocks

Oh, although I do not have such a big number, $ 50,000
But if I am sure I will invest in digging, exploiting digital coins like ZEC, ETH ...
Gambling 5 wins and 5 loses
Investing digs up 70% of electronic money

Oh, that's interesting
Split your funds into different portfolios
But can you explain to me how altcoin is good as altcoin how not

Right now 60% to mining 40% to coins/ Nice time to invest

Your opinion is good
Investing in education, for the mind, learning is always a profitable investment
I admire him
I also thank you for the good coin list, your long term investment,
I can add to that list Mothena, Kyber network, Coss, Ambrosus, ... What do you think?

What to do depends entirely on what $50,000 means to you personally. If you're a millionaire dipping a toe into crypto, then put some in BTC, some in top alts, some in more speculative lower cap alts. On the other hand if $50,000 is your life savings or a remortgage, then don't put that much in... or if you must then just go for BTC and maybe ETH and XRP.

Either way I would forget mining altogether. I don't think it's so relevant nowadays.

I don't have any knowledge of mining so I will not take a risk of investing money in mining and instead I will buy bitcoins and hold as $50k is huge amount which may be doubled in quick time depending on the price of bitcoins.

HODL is good, but I would spread the $50.000 into Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and invest in a price-stable coin like Tether or CORION and maybe mine some profitable coin. Spreading is always saver and the top market volume coins are more save then some high fluctuating coins.

I not have money! But if i had $50.000, i will buy minning device!  And hold all my coin i can minning!

i don't have $50,000 to invest, but its nice to see how others would spread their risk.  it gives me a good idea on how i would like to spread my risk too. it seems mining is not that popular compared to investing in different coins

If I have $50,000, I will invest in trading coins. As much as I want to try mining as a hobby, I know it will not be profitable for me since my electricity cost is not low enough to profit from mining. And considering the space I need for the equipments, it will take a long time for me to break even.

Mining is good to set-up if you have a good place to do it. However, if you're countries electricity cost is too expensive, it's not ideal to set-up computers for mining. If I were to invest that much money into coins, I'll make sure to diversify the coins that I will invest because it's safer that way.

It depends on the people's skill if what they will choose if you don't have skill to be a trader or you really can't understand the strategies on trading even you're always watching videos on youtube and research on how to be a good trader better to choose mining but on mining you need a little bit knowledge on how to setup a mining rig and you need to have a extra room to place your mining place because it's too noisy if you put only on your own room and it needs to put on the cool place because mining rigs are getting heat when running in the long time.

I don't want to put all the money in a single place. I would like to separate them and like to invest 30% of it in mining , 30% in altcoin trading and invested remaining money in a good betting website.   

I'm not that much attracted to the mining stuff and I think it's not profitable in long run. The technology keeps changing and they a,ways bring up the new models or machines for mining and your old one gets obsolete. That's why I will not waste my time in buying these kinda stuff.


$50K is lot of money and I think I will just keep the money in the form of bitcoin and few selected altcoins for longer time. As the amount is more hence the interest that I will get on this money would be larger. Even if the bitcoin price moves by 100 dollars or so then I have chance to gain 5K right away. I could just reinvest those 5K and keep increasing my stakes. I think that is what I will do if I had that much money.

I dont like mining.I would just buy coins I need.
Mining requires too much care and investments IMO

Investing would be a better choice. You can diversify your investment to react with the market. Mining
limits your investment to certain coins.

if I make the mining alone, 50,000 dollars is very much,
but may be behind the capital long enough, patient and patient, good luck

I'd invest 35000$ into GPU mining, I think there's more short-term ROI there, The rest I'd spend it on strong altcoins and promising ICOs

if a had that big amount of cash , i think ill do both of mining and investing to coins because ive never been on mining and alsi in trading or investing thats why i would try those if i had the chance or a big capital to start with. i would by the best asic miner and buy different kinds of coins especially altcoins and also bitcoins to build up my own portfolio.

Hmm... mining is very noisy and i dont have any skill trading
if I have 50K$ I buy long term coin like Bitcoin, eth, dash and hold
or I put my money on bankroll gambling site cause I don't have gambling skill too and to risky
 ;D

i think you can choose coins for a long term investment like buy bitcoin, zec, eth, ltc and don't buy all of your money to coins, maybe for $10k-$25k. but if you want to trying to mining, i suggest to allocation $5k to buy GPU mining because you have more option to mining. before you decide to build your own righ for mining, its better to calculate how much your electricity fee and how much amount of coin you've got in a day so you know is it profit or not.

If I had 50k I would put all of it in coins. With mining you have to worry about your equipment pretty frequently and there are also other costs to worry about. I personally don't want to think of the costs so I would rather take my chances trading coins.

Buy on spot
and short on future.
then use spot to lend
You will earn interest without fear of price variation.

If you have that issue still then you can format again the SSD with Rufus then you can try it again. Sometime windows doesn’t see that due to which the problem occur. I have solve my friend problem with this solution

I would invest in a coin portfolio with probably 1/3 in bitcoin, 1/3 in eth, 1/3 in other altercoins or join ICOs. If you believe the upside of coins in the medium to long term then trading is probably going to earn you more profit

Mining equipment depreciates in value very quickly.  I would invest the 50k into a variety of coins.

if i tend to mining. I think for the long term mining is more suitable. seeing the enormous fluctuation of coin prices, I would not risk to invest as much as $ 50000.

I would use $20k to setup my own rig, i know i can make a good one for less than $20k that gives me more than $3k monthly, so i would do it for sure, also my electricity costs are a little bit cheap, so i know that it would give me a good profit. And the other $30k i might diversify it on at least five different altcoins, maybe $8k to ethereum, $7k to monero, $10k to Bitcoin and $5k to Waves, that is going to give an amazing return in some months, or maybe years.

If i do have that money then if i do see that electricity is very cheap in my country then $10000-$15000 would really be allocated on that one and $20000 would be invested into bitcoin and hold it for long term then the rest $15000 would be allocated on altcoins which you can able to diversify out those funds into 3 different investment which would actually lessen the risk of total failure once one of those would able to dump down.You do still have the chance to recover unlike on going all in on a single investment once it dumps for sure recovery would really be hard for you.This is why this kind of diversification is good.

With 50k i would invest into coins rather than mining. The reason for that is pretty simple: electricity is very expensive where i live (much more expensive than the avg people from other countries pay) - so my ROI would be lower and there's always the risk of difficulty increasing, turning my farm/rigs obsolete in a very short time span. By buying coins i would be safer from these external sources and would only rely on the crypto market itself.

If i had a 50.000$, I want to spend 1/4 my money to buy altcoin (Waves and ETH only) and keep them in my wallet for a long time and im used 1/2 money for trading and investing. and i want to try my luck with gambling too  :o

GPU mining is also a good thing to do, a specialy when you have a low electricity cost :D I think i would invest in GPU mining 1/3 and the rest i would spread in altcoins specialy in WAVES, ARK and Viacoin

Why are you saying things that are simply not true ? I have 3 rigs in my living area and i can't hear them working at all. MSI Gaming X ftw!

It's too late to start mining BTC.  Put that $50k into a diversified crypto portfolio and forget about it!

If we talking about me personally. Then I will prefer to devide this money. Half of them i will invest into gpu mining and watch how it going. Another half i will invest into some altcoins, not all in one sort coins in different coins. After some time I'll upgrade my mining if it'll be ok and profitable, same things i'll do with altcoins. That's my version how to spend 50k$ wisely, and it seems to be dream.

Mining is a complicated and difficult task.It difficult for foreign people to this businees.But trade is a art i think but its more easy.Mining requires a lot of requirements

If I had that much money I wouldn't mine single coin, ever, at all. It is harder to mine coins nowadays and there better options like pos coins. So I would buy some good coins like btc, ltc and buy some pos coins and I would wait for market pumps and dumps. This is general trader motive.

If I had that big amount of money or coins I think I'm going to invest in business and I'll buy altcoin and the other is i spend in my wallet.

If I had that kind of money I would buy it all to Ethereum and wait about a year or two because the price would definitely go up.

That is a lot of money for me, I will not put so much money only in mining, Maybe 30% at most.

That's a huge amount so I will not put all my eggs in one basket, I will spend some for mining and some for buying coins with good potential and just monitor my progress I might even hire an assistant for this if I want to really yield a good profit.

It will be wiser if you put it all in altcoins. Why? Let's look in the future...

If ever you use your money in mining, there are a lot of additional expenses you need to cover: your bill for current, your locale where you will put up your mining business, and the status of the coins you are going to mine. In the near future, all bitcoins will be mined. Then what will you do after?

On the other hand, if you put your money on altcoins through trading, then it will be better. It is you who controls your fate. You can decide if how many percent of your money are you going to put in each altcoins. I also recommend you to divide your money to different altcoins so that you can have a chance to return your capital if ever the price other altcoins will fall.

With $50,000 you could easy make money with ICO with small max cap. I will invest in Pally ICO, so you could buy if you want.

If you invest that amount in coins then theoretically you can earn more. But you are a beginner. I think you have enough experience and are therefore too big a risk of losing your money. When you buy mining equipment you will receive a guaranteed profit. I think it is more reasonable.

Coins for sure. I would diversify by placing 33% into BTC, 33% into privacy coins like Monero and 33% into low market cap coins with good fundamentals.

For me if I have that huge amount I would rather directly go for a Asic miner because you can gain profit with less effort, and you can partner with some bounty campaign if you get bored!  ;)

if I will invest 50% in gold, 20% altcoin, 20% in stock and the rest will I save dibank, because I just want to be realistic aja, so the risk of loss will not make me dizzy

in my place, if i had a $50,000 amount, i prefer to invest it on bitcoin, in that place bitcoin crypto currency are going huge. and i will hold it until i reach the price that i wish.

I will throw it all on bitmain new gen 1st batch. Any 1st batch always BEP in 3 month, especially with D3 it BEP in a month even if it's price is $2600. Now I got D3 for Nov for $1450, but I dont think I can ROI in 3 month since its round $2600+ with tax and shipment..

Invest them in Aeon! But the price is in full rocket mode now so some well timed trades are needed. Wait for the first sell down before buying. By 2018 this will be trading at $20.

I Will buy some gpu for altcoin miner and buy some ICO too.
for me mining altcoin when the market not yet add it its best idea. and buying ico its good idea too.

my friend has many rigs even one room full of mining tools, but it was not too noisy dude? but the problem is actually in the future from mining itself, of course the more time the mining reward will decrease right ? I do not think the long-term investment in mining is so good ?

In general you will distribute all the money everywhere. All the options avaible for earning in the crypto world. Well that's the good way to go for crypto actually and it can create a very professional portfolio for long term investment. Keeping it in the favourite coins would be the first move and that's the best choice actually because it will assure us the return of investment if not the profits in first place. That's in terms of security.

Keeping some of the money for trading and investment would be second priority because with that we start moving towards risk zone but high profitability. Better do it with cautions known and anyway if we are good trader then what it takes to take the risk. :-) it's fun!

I wouldn't mine unless you have a specific newish project you really want to contribute to. Helping out a premine (as long as its not a scam) can be very lucrative since most big miners won't bother. $50k is not enough to compete on any of the major currencies, but there are many new project that could really use the hardware and would gladly give you good terms. You just gotta be persistent.

I more prefer to invest into mining Ethereum. Create some mining rigs with each rigs is 180 mh/s. With mining we do not need extra times to make some money, just need to keep watching the progress on mining rigs.

.
Looking at the current scenario, minning is not a highly profitable venture right now. I think that you should invest in various crypto coins and tokens. Buy altcoins like civic and neo as these coins are sure to be successful

if ihad 50.000 dollars  i would definatly invest in buying coins, because mining has many expanses, electricity, equipment such as cooling, internet, maintenance, time, etc.

Mining is not that expensive, if you're planning to implement it in a small scale. I would partially use it to invest into different digital coins and the rest into mining, so that can get a sustained earning regularly. But few legal issues arise while setting up mining farm which is a big problem.

It depends from prices on GPU and Asics, I think if you can  get chip graphic cards  you have to buy cards, yes there is more difficulties  with them because you have to build rigs  install software to itch one, but at the and you will be able to sell them in the second hand, and also you will get 3 years of warranty .

If you want to investment such a big amount for the purpose that you can set in home freely and you can’t take more tension and knowledge about that then I will suggest you to buy bitcoins and then wait when the bitcoin rate is high then sale it.

If you want to investment such a big amount for the purpose that you can set in home freely and you can’t take more tension and knowledge about that then I will suggest you to buy bitcoins and then wait when the bitcoin rate is high then sale it.

To invest these money then you should go to numbers of coins not only in bitcoins or any other .you should distribute them in various coin and invest and then check the response from where you can get more profit.

I don't know, man. 50K is quite big for me to spend into mining but that's just me. I might choose investing into coins since I'm not sure if I can have a good profit with mining anymore. But if I have that amount of cash I'll be investing only half of it and keep the other half. It's true that investment is a risk and I'm not ready to lose huge amount in crypto.

I would say investing in coins, mining has a more guaranteed return but investing in decent teams, with great projects you can see a small amount gather over 10,000% ROI.

Yes it's harder to pick good coins, ICOs but they're out there. Just need to do research.

I will invest in mining, because the results I get definitely every month, only depending on the price of the coin that I mining whether the price goes up or down, if it rise I will sell the coin that I mining but if it goes down I will hold the coin until the price rises again.

If I had this money only with 1000$ I can take 10000$ in 2 month. that is huge value for trade, you must from a basket a of coins for long and an other basket for trade. so I may bought 10000$ ETH, 10000$ NEO, 10000$ LSK, and 10000 BTC, and with other 10000 i go to trade. mining is not profitable Now.

I would probably go mostly on a safe bet like Bitcoin and Ethereum and maybe 1/5 on an promising ICO
Less work than making a mining set up aswell

50k to invest ? Good question ... If you are not a newbie in crypto and have some experience in trading , you can become a millionaire nvesting in altcoins . But you should understand that this is a very risky business , so it will be more wisely to spread a half of your budget to asics for btc mining . This will not make you a millionaire in a few months , which is possible when investing in altcoins , but it is pretty safe and profitable way to invest your money . I think 50/50 mining/investing is a optimal choice .

Do not invest all the funds in one asset, it's very risky! Diversify risks. For example, half of the funds allocated to buy bitcoin and etherium and leave them for a long time. Leave some more money in fiat money, so that if you reduce the price, you could buy more or buy other coins that will be heard. The rest in equal parts invest in promising coins. For example, you can take the first 20 with a large capitalization on coimarketcap. Even if half of them die, then the remaining half can give you a good profit, but, as traders like to say, this is not accurate.

Coin mining is high risk but the results are also comparable, with that amount of money we can try to mine the coin and also as we invest for bitcoin and some alt-coin which have good prospects

If we talking about me personally. Then I will prefer to devide this money. Half of them i will invest into gpu mining and watch how it going. another half i will invest into some altcoins, not all in one sort coins in different coins. after some time I'll upgrade my mining if it'll be ok and profitable, same things i'll do with altcoins. That's my version how to spend 50k$ wisely, and it seems to be dream.

I would do a couple mining rig using tower CPU with 3 to 4 GPU's in it so I would go for 50% for mining rig and 50% for buying new altcoins that are newly listed on the coinmarketcap.com.
Mining Rig is more likely a passive income that supposed to one of the most effective way on earning Crypto coins today but that's a lot of noise and heat on my room so two of them will get managed.
Buying Altcoins is also fine but we should sped time on research which coins are better than the others.

I am not confident on mining but most of my Crypto Enthusiasts friends are setting up their mining rigs and they do get passive income but I don't really think they are earning a lot than earning on trading or buying altcoins and wait for their pumps.
My friends aren't yet getting their real earnings through mining but I do earn more on buying cheap coins and selling them when I already get high enough profits..
For me I should choose buying coins than mining because I am indeed earning more than mining.
