should it be invested in bitcoin and hold?


should it be invested in alt coins?

and why or what will make it sustainable via etc vs. alt investment

Firstly this depends on your risk tolerance. Without understanding more specifics behind the case (your investment knowledge, trading ability, etc) I would say at a high level best to diversify across a basket of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

ICOs are exciting, but it is still a nascent territory and you need organizational timing (ensuring you are whitelists), smart execution (selling out of your positions) and be spread across a number of bets (diversification) to make it pay off. Also there is uncertain regulatory and tax compliance risk, depending on your jurisdiction.

Hope this is somewhat helpful, given the limited information you provided ;)

if you want to gamble, there is lots of btc to gain from altcoins. Bitcoin is solid investment though. If I had 100k, I would buy all bitcoin before the fork to get free money. Then, invest in a few ico's/altcoin's after the fork if you want too.

If you want a safer way to do it, the best way is the bitcoin way. But what currency are you referring to with your 100 thousand? Is it the US dollar? If it is, that is a very large capital for your crypto investment. I guess, the surest way to earn without having to risk a bigger danger is bitcoin. And do not buy or sell that. I would rather have you hodl them until it will more than double in amount.

I think some portion need to use for a trading person if person knowing how to do trading and some portion of investments can be held for long term.

I personally think altcoins would be a better bet. Yes, Bitcoin Fork is coming this November but you can only make a few extra with that. In the other hand there's a chance you can make your investment 5x or more times its value in shorter time period. I personally am investing in DeepOnion. I really believe this will be the next Monero/Dash type anonymous cryptocurrency.

The community is also strong which is what I believe will make it more successful. It already beat the record on the most popular thread in shortest timespan in BTC history.

What currency dl you have? If its in US Dollars that's a big investment to start trading. My opinion would be hold 60% in Bitcoin and the rest would be traded in altcoins. You can earn big money for that much for an investment.

Since a new hard fork is comming, in my opinion, better invest it in bitcoin than altcoins. Altcoins now are almost down and we don't know if it will go down continually so better invest now in BTC.

just remember, bitcoin price always grow up in every year, so you can invested, and hold it.
for altcoin, you cant invest to eth, because eth price so far so good.

I agree. So basically if you are thinking of holding, then go fot Bitcoins and othe top cryptocurrencies. This is if you will invest to cryptocurrencies alone. But if you consider other investments, your money can ba diversified and the risk will be minimized. Cryptocurrencies are exciting but the government do not fully accept it. So dont put everything into it. Try other investments like real estate, stocks or bonds.

I would say bitcoin. The important thing is to buy small amounts at a time spread over a period of time. eg around $1000 a day. Bitcoin is at all time highs, personally I would average in to reduce risk.

100K is a big amount to invest. Are you willing to risk it all in the market though?

If I have that kind of money, I would invest most of it into bitcoin and just hodl on it. And they diversity your poftfoliio on altcoins like ETH, XRP,  XEM, ETC, LTC. So at least you have some contingency on your end. Alt is good for short term investment, so you can go and play with it as long as you can see profit at the end of the day. And as long as your making profit and hodling bitcoin for long term you will be on the safe side. I guess there is risk involved, but if you have an entry and exit plan specially in altcoin, you can mitigate it.

The best decision is to set up a portfolio and do not put all your investment in one coin, there are a lot of promising coin in the market that can you invest in but be sure to pick the top 3 first like bitcoin ethereum and ripple

it depends on how are you gonna invest and how many time are you willing to invest in managing your investment
but the wisely portfolios i've seen is they diversify bitcoin and altcoins 50% bitcoin long term and 50% altcoins
we all know that bitcoin will always get high and its smart to buy when its really low then we keep it long term for capital appreciation
in altcoins the 50% is divided for long term altcoins who have active developers and team this depends on the perspective of the investor
on how will they split his coins but for me at least 50% of your altcoins must be in long term and for short term 30% and scalping on the remaining 20%..

i hope this helps for those who are investing at this moment you also may do share your ideas.. :)

I think bitcoin is good safe haven,
small cap coins for huge gains.  but riskier

Bitcoin has a better chance than altcoin in price movements and the benefits of the movement, if you have done research on this you must know. However some altcoin look more powerful and stable, that's make us confused to choose. If I have $ 100K like you, I would prefer to split it in some assets like: 50% BTC, 30% altcoin, 20% ICO investment. And don't forget to do some research first, because you have to choose an altcoins are really profitable.

you should invest in bitcoin not in altcoins, when the bitcoin price will go up then the prices of altcoins will be dump, but if you want to invest in altcoin only invest a new altcoin that has a potential to increase. I prefer invest bitcoin because for me bitcoin is for long term investment.

- Wait for some week you might get some cheap bitcoins after hardfork.
- Don't invest all your 100k in bitcoin, try to diversify your holding.
- Buy different alts like ETH, ETC, XMR, LTC which are still cheap and can grow big in near future.
- Don't buy any alts at peak price like bitcoin right now which is quite pumped right now due to hardfork hype.

Invest now in bitcoin and other altcoin like etherium or other.
100 key is not small money so use it wisely.

My opinion where do you place the 100k. Place your money in mining bitcoin and Bitcoin Signature more excellent to invest in the bitcoin more than the other like altcoin and others.

They are different ways to invest here in bitcoin. I think that will help you a lot in investing your 100k in way of altcoin trading because if you invest some your money will make a lot of a profit you need some knowledge about the altcoins works

I think the present situation is that investing in ALT coins is a good way. Now the mainstream BTC, ETH, these coins are already in high positions, and ALT will have a good chance to keep up with mainstream coins

The bitcoin security to increase your profits should not go unnoticed, however if you find an ICO with great potential at relatively low costs investing about 100$ or 200$ would not be a bad idea.

Store half in fiat (either USDT and USD) to buy some cheap crypto when there will be dump in the market. And invest half in multiple cryptocurrencies along with bitcoin.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I personally think that you have enough funds to actually make smart investment moves, don't be afraid to take risks since they are really benefitial in times. However, I think that the best thing that you can do is to diversify on your investments, say spend 50% your overall funds on bitcoin, spend another 30% on altcoin investments and the remaining 20% ongoing and upcoming ICOs.

In cases you decide to invest in ICOs, I would recommend that you do your own personal research about the projects you will be investing in so that you don't end up getting scammed.

First off, you should know that Crypto currency investment are still regarded as a high risk investment. Bitcoin has the same risk as any other Alt coin and just as many risk factors influencing it's value as most Alt coins. Bitcoin has some advantages though : Widely accepted / Strong developers / History of high security / Large node base {increased decentralization} and no central authority in charge.

Only invest, what you are willing to lose. <golden rule #1>

Bitcoin is the most reliable coin so at the end of the day bitcoin is still the best investment to risk other than any coin. Bitcoin investment is for a long term goal profit if you want a big profit you must be patient. Just stay away with some ICO i dont believe them because most of the them are created to be a scam coin.

Should invest it on the bank as you see btc can covered here if stay quite long you can make btc of your own

Diversification are for pussies, all in on the coin(s) you believed in. (considering you've made your due diligence, and it helps as well when you're technically sound person). Diversification are only for people that doesn't know what they are doing hence they diversify.

if 100K is dollar (not Zimbabwe fiat ;)) then it is such a big amount to invest, specially if you don't know what to do that you have to ask other random people on this forum for help.

my advice is to start smaller. don't go in big as your first step. unless you have been investing in cryptocurrencies for a while now (at least a year). because you need to understand how the market works, lose some money first before you really understand it and that loss breaks your illusions about altcoins mooning or getting rich over night with holding bitcoin,...

then my suggestion is to buy bitcoin first with 100% of your money then invest some of the bought bitcoin in trading. try both trading bitcoin and altcoins and take profit from altcoin pumps but never linger long in them.

If you believe a lot in bitcoin and you look at it as a long term investment then go put it all in. But if you are one of those people who want quick gains or afraid of losing the money you invested, I suggest you just put the money in the bank because if you make a mistake and get too scared if ever the price drops you'll just lose some of your money.

If you can hold your bitcoin for long term then buy bitcoin now and also receive bitcoin gold for free. And isf you have some knowledge about trading you can trade.Or buy a good altcoins and hold for long term.Also you can invest in ICO. But  before join an ico make a research because most of ico now days scam or project is not good.But bitcoin holding will be better choice.

you can do a lot of things in bitcoin if you really have $ 100k, you can start trading and make some investment in ICO altcoin project. because for me $ 100k it is a huge value.

I just advice you to invest in bitcoin and just hold them or you will regret later

I use it to start a small bussiness

You can try to buy bitcoin and 3 altcoin. Percentage is all your choice. Try to look for a graph which is going low for the altcoin, so choose wisely. Then you will just need to wait for a 20%-30% increase on Bitcoin price and 50%and up increase for the 3 altcoin you choose.

Don't go 100% in bitcoin, diversify and invest. if i were to invest ($)100k(?), i'll invest 60% in bitcoins, 20% will be fiat,20% in various promising altcoins(will require some researching).

You need to think about every risk before investing, because we know every trader is not always making a profit, I just give a little advice to buy bitcoin but not for the short term but still keep it in the wallet as a long-term investment

A protestive opinion. But the post attracts attention with its beginning - diversification for pussies. Even if you invest in 2 coins, this is already diversification. This will reduce the risks. After all, the final profit should be looked at over a long period of time. Look at Tezos for an example. Record investments, high expectations and a few months later are negative news. And how after such examples don't diversify?

Don't put all your eggs in one basket is just about the best advice you could receive on this subject. Store at least half in fiat because it's far more stable, and put half into Bitcoin or an established altcoin. Don't make the mistake of throwing away your money.

That choice depends on the situation if in the current situation I prefer to buy Bitcoin and HOLD because I hope to get profit from Bitcoin hardfork

I always preach that btc is always going to be your safest investment. Its upside is big longterm and you don't need to understand much to feel comfortable doing so. Buying altcoins does carry a bit more risk especially if you dont do your hw. Start reading whitepapers to get an idea for what to look for and red flags that scare you. I read about 30-40 whitepapers a week and u start to figure out which ones are legit. If you want to check out a new altcoin that I recently purchased look http://www.protexproject.io/ (http://www.protexproject.io/). Top notch whitepaper, good team, and great idea. Hope that helps!!

You can split it into bitcoin and other altcoins. I don't like to invest all my money in 1 project.

If you are relying on long-term investments it is better to not invest in altcoins. Every day is born and dies a bunch of altcoins,long a hold  them is too risky.

If you have $100,000, you should spend $50,000 to buy Bitcoin. Rest of $50,000 will help you traveling around the world in few years. When you come back, BUM! You will be so surprised, Your Bitcoin has gone to the moon. You have become a Millionare.  ;D ;D ;D

If you want to invest for long term then you should go with the bitcoin , and I think it is best ttime to invest in the bitcoin Because currently the increase in the price since 22 to 23 October are high and also after the fork you will get bitcoin gold free coin ( if you will have bitcoin  in the same amount ) .
And if you want to go with the investment in the altcoins then my suggestion for you to invest in the Etherium coin , Digibyte coin , bitcoin cash coin , dash coin , rdd coin .
Here you Should know that if you will invest your money in different different coins then that will be results into lowered the chances of the loss in the trading .
And I think here you should first know about the trading that how to lower the risk , since I told you to invest in better coins and in multiple coins. But still you should make some study at Google Because knowing the things ownself is better things for the success .

Flik coin, 23/10 they will burn 90% of the coins, 3month = +300.000$ minimum for you.

If I were to have 100k I would not invest it in bitcoin. It is very risky, bitcoin is still at the beginning (a 7 years old currency is not sufficiently old). Bitcoin is risky business and also alt-coins are risky business. I would say I would buy 2-4 bitcoins, and for another bitcoin I would buy some other alt-coins. What remains from 100k I wouldn't give to an investment. All investments proved to be too risky. If you risk, you loose.

If you want that money to grow I'd play it safe and place 50k in bitcoin and 50k in an ICO and sell after you've multiplied the 50k by 2,3 or even 10 (depending on how well the coins are doing once they're on the exchange)

If you really want to multiply your money i high suggest to you buy bitcoin and hold until it hits the moon next year. A lot of people are now using bitcoin and they believe that bitcoin will become more valuable in the future. Though altcoins are also a good investment i still choose bitcoin.

Well bitcoin is a good choice to invest of your money and half of it in altcoins. Some ico is also good but it is a huge risks you have to thoroughly check on which ICO will be successful and with exchange after their ICO. So bitcoin and choosing altcoin for me are profitable.

I suggest that you diverisify your investment across various altcoins. Do some research and look for the top coins nowadays. If you can still do more research and study each currency, its strength the possibilities, and try to foresee where it's gonna be in the future, the more you will be guided on where to invest your money. It will depend though on how risky you are in investing your money.

100k in dollar us or other currency ??
If I have that much money I will share it, 50% to Bitcoin, 30% Ethereum, 15% Litecoin and 5% Waves,
because I think investing in this coins is very good prospect ..

As always do your own research before you invest in anything.
But I'd invest most of it in BTC (bitcoin), large part in ETH (ethereum) and rest in altcoins as LTC (litecoin).
Also I think XRP (ripple) has quite some potential.

30% bitcoin, 20% alts, rest real estate etc

If you want a fast and easy results, try to invest in digital coins specially bitcoins and other alt coins out there in the market, don't just focus in bitcoin you can divide your money to other legit altcoins that have a great potential to win the market, do cypto trading to earn fast results as they have a high volatility but do it at your own risk as you can lose some of your money so better to study it first. You can try cloud mining, just find a website that is legit and have a good feedback because there is a lot of scammers.

What is that 100k? Is that dollars?


That amount is too big for me and I'm not going to all in with bitcoin only nor alt coin only.


Good percentage of allocation that 100k but I'll make it 40% for bitcoin, still 20% for alt coins and will allocate 30% for real estate and the remaining 10% will be my savings.

Secure yourself and don't forget to save some.

Yes you should consider investing a major part of it in altcoins and other part on bitcoin and other in a few of the Altcoin ICO, you can have more info about them in their respective threads and also ask questions in Altcoin discussion board.

If you have 100k you must invest in bitcoin because it will help you to make more money and income. In addition to that, you can invest in bitcoin and in altcoin because both of them will help you to gain much income. Investing in bitcoin and in altcoin is a good investment for long term and I think its because of their price.

As you can see that the price have moved so high so right now going for buying in this rate is bit high risk. You can wait for Hard Fork after that their may be correction in the market.

I would suggest you to put your investment in bitcoin and diversify your investment a bit to other prominent coins when the price is right,with the price of bitcoin just soaring new levels i am not sure whether it is the best moment to invest in bitcoin,if you are aware of these risks then you are good to go,always invest when the markets are down and that is my way to extract the maximum profit.

What do you want to receive when investing in a coin? anxiety or peace of mind? But for whatever reason, I think bitcoin is always the most trusted currency to invest, it can generate huge profits in a short time, and always secure the amount of money. you.

if you want to get 100k fast you should trade ,, every day you can get more with the condition you have to master about trading, and also increase knowledge about allcoin, potency that can lead to trade, if for future investment better not, because bitcoin is still unstable .. i think 80% to be able to profit 20% loss, but it's just my thinking, or it could be bitcoin price will be very high, and profitable

Better buy Bitcoins mate for you to decide wether or not you are going to invest in alcoins or ICO's. I mean make Bitcoin as your main investment and also make Bitcoin as a terminal for your investments because it is fully accepted in both altcoins and ICO's it's up to you what sub investment you want. If you bought Bitcoins when it's price at $4,800 I think you now have $1k+ worth of profits. . Buy now and harvest free Bitcoin gold after hardfork. Buying and holding Bitcoins is the safest way to invest so if I were you try it now before it's too late. But it always depends on your decission mate so choose your investment wisely.

trading can make a quick profit, but it is a very demanding job, it does not have to be an easy job, with the factors you mentioned above, I think anyone should Be careful if you want to become a trader.

This is my tip, don't invest in one coin only. Try to go to long term investments in coins. And when I say long term, it will long to 1 or more years to take profit on. Try investing on ripple and bitcoins.

I wouldn't recommend any mining stuff cause I not experience at all  :( , as for trading stuff:

Less risky path - solely on top 10 coins, diversify your portfolio on them and work with buy sell based on your knowledge among them, it's not hard to get information on such coins news and trends are widely discussed among communities and expect a steady return if you are okay with it. I might consider revenue sharing project in this path though but just realized most of their not well-established yet like COSS exchange.

Risky path - alts is the way to go, dig through ICOs and engaged trading in alt/btc pairs which you believe in regardless of the volume as some might just have few thousand traded over days, they have super high returns if positive news is spread, lovely place for p & d though just beware of your position

Super risky path - cloud mining, mixers, gambling, there is significant chances where your investment would just gone in days if you are not well-anticipated.

Mixing all of paths above, possible you are a full time player within cryptocurrencies and your 100k investment is significant though.

It really depends on how much risk you can handle and how active you want to be in trading..
Have you got enough hours in the week for trading, researching coins, keeping up with news etc.?
Or do you just want to invest and forget?

There is great potential to make huge, quick profits with altcoins but usually this requires you be actively trading, watching the markets daily, keeping up with news etc. As quickly as Altcoins can grow your profits, it can shrink them just as quickly too. Whereas Bitcoin is a steady grower. You can pretty much set and forget and you can be sure that in 12 months, your profits will be there.

Personally, I keep about 50% of my portfolio in Bitcoin & Ethereum, 30% in strong Alts like NEO, Lisk, Nem, Iota, Stratis, Ark, Qtum and about 20% on ICO's I've taken a gamble on like TenX, Vibe, REAL, PowerLedger etc..

I wouldn't recommend putting ALL your money into Altcoins.. That's a pretty huge gamble.

Whatever you invest in, make sure you take the time to learn about what you're doing so you can have the best chance of success.
Otherwise you're going to shit yourself and panic sell whenever the markets take a dip..

If you buy bitcoin when you write this thread, now you must have got more profit. So in this case believe in yourself, it would be better to do your own research instead of wasting your time by asking others. Everyone has a different opinion and it will make you more confused in making decisions.
Stay alert and believe in what you are doing.

wait a few years and buy 1 bitcoin

It is better to invest in altcoins with low market cap and huge potential.Thus they can give you 1000X times profit in less time compare to bitcoin which can give you only 2x times in more than 2 years.

I think in my own opinion much better if you invest in both bitcoins and altcoins thats the best way you can do for my own suggestion only  still your descision will follow

If you have a lot of money like 100k then try to diversify it and put it on bitcoin and other good altcoins that are best for long term like eth and other coins. If you want to do it in a right way then do some research first and don't trust other people's advice for what coin because you can't make sure things that it will become true and the best thing to do is to do research and to make yourself satisfied with your investment.

Trading requires that you know patterns and keep a constant look out of the news to foresee anything that could help or harm the price so it's a more active engagement and can be very profitable.

Holding is easier and you could effectively sit on it for years not even thinking about it and come back to earn double or more of your money. Of course both have their own risks.

90-95% Bitcoin before S2X fork, 5-10% Bitcoin Cash

It depends on your investing capacity. Are you an active and aggresive trader or Are you a passive and play safe investor?. If you are former, then go for alt trading, research for the top alts with the capacity to surge high. If you are the latter, then go for Bitcoin and Ethereum investing, these are the top 2 cryptocurrencies, which you can play sage. Buy and hold.

100k what? satoshis, $ or what? If you enough funds you can invest in on bitcoin and hold it for long time until you doubled the amount you invested. You can also invest on ICO right now but not put all your money on 1 ICO to avoid any lose.

i suggest in 50% in bitcoin investment and the rest is invest for trading 50k is enough to invest in bitcoin and 50k is good enough for trading the plan is while your 50% in safe the other 50% is for growing faster because in trading your 50k is probably became it double in short day if you good in trading...when i said  50 50 because not all your trade is in good side beside you had encounter that you are in stock sometimes...

I like this very much, and i am sure going to try it out too

It's a pretty big amount. Do not gamble in ICOs or alts. Put full amount on serious coins like bitcoin and ethereum and just wait some years.

I think it's true if like that, so if that's the result is useful too, but can make an investment, we can make a business too, with itukita can be independent as well.

I think it will be better if you will invest it to Alternative coins whom do you think has a potential similar to bitcoin and Ethereum. With a great luck that 100k of yours can make you a millionaire just choose a good coin like Ripple, NEM or IOTA  ;)

If you can invest to bitcoin that much then go, there you go with the big risk and everything.
If your tolerance in heart bit due to changes of it value then go, take all the risk.

Go to an alt coin like Dash, or Lykke, or a promised ICO. You chances are much higher to make some good amount of money than BTC.

Best opinion is invest in bitcoins while this crypto currency is growing up, no need waiting or thinking, this crypto currency is very stable, price is going down sometimes but after again going up, u can invest not all your amount just half of them and waiting for a profit.

I think it should be better if OP buys it during in dip of bitcoin so he will get more bitcoin rather than buying right now. When bitcoin is still on its highest peak. After OP bought or invest his money into bitcoin or any other altscoins but i highly do recommend that NEVER invest your full money on altcoins. Some of the altcoins are easily going to dump their coins while leaving those investors unaware about of what happen to their invested items.

You do not place 100k of Bitcoin. You save 100k worth of Bitcoin as that will get you a lot more money in the long run than if you play around with trying to invest in BTC when you're new to it.

I will choose this investment instead of other investments and also I'll put this in real estate because here in my country it's one of the most profitable investment.


You can invest in alt coins but I don't focus most of my fund there, I'll invest maybe 10% of it and will only choose those reliable coins.


You should be the one that will sustain your investment by studying the market, it's risky you know.

I could not agree more Sir, surely that is the best decision that he could possibly do with that kind of money. And I do agree that bitcoin is the best investment when it comes to digital assets instead of altcoins. Holding that kind of money will be safer in long term if you buy bitcoins. Also, with bitcoins being held is already profitable. You will have a win-win situation in investigation g that money.. Just do make sure that you will buy bitcoins in his highest peak. Already have a profit waiting for you.

Altcoins  could give you more ROI compared to bitcoin.So I suggest you to invest in altcoins.

It is better to invest in altcoins rather than bitcoin. Altcoins cangive you more profit compared to bitcoin

Just invest half of it in bitcoin and hold it and invest the other half on alt coins and other investment. If you just look at the graph, you can see how its market value keeps on rising and even the expectations of some were being proven wrong. And if it keeps on rising, maybe it will reach a 7k mark before this year ends so it's better to invest bitcoins now.

I think for now it is better to invest in bitcoin. You just have to search for a reliable wallet that supports bitcoin gold and for sure when hard fork initializes, prices will increase you can have profit from price increase and you also will have btc gold for trades. It's not really comparing to previous fork but if the price of btc gold is just as the same as bcc, then it is a good profit rather than spreading it in altcoins. That strategy is just for the upcoming fork but for other days, it really is good to spread your coins.

If you want to get 100k, you should be really great at finding opportunities in choosing Altcoin and doing trading analysis, if you can predict the Altcoin that you think is great, maybe you'll get what you want there, but if you keep silent and not doing anything you probably will not get the amount you want, because everything depends on yourself.

i highly suggest go on something trusted and legit like bitcoins, put all your eggs in one basket if you want to get much profit on it because i see that you can earn more just by investing it all  in bitcoins due to its high value thats still increasing overtime although some altcoins like etherium and waves are also a good addition to your portfolio  and they had also a potential to pump soon.

Investments are good idea but I think with wise decisions it will effectively give you profit. With that capital you should have good ways of tracking your profits and investments. Holding and using big capital in any way of investment or for profitable reason must be very careful. Lot of scams out there. Trust is a long term issue here and anyone could be a scammer. Do find a trust worthy one.

You can place your 100k in your wallet so that your money will be safe and secure. In your wallet is it safe because you secure it and there are so many process to get the money and there also have a confirmation to your account. But if you keep it in your pocket you don't sure if it is secure because if you forgot that in your pocket there's a possibility that money will gone because it can be get wet.

Where ever you want to place the 100K nowadays,  it would be difficult not to get any profit...
Choose well!

If you are really decided to spend that money you better wait for now because a fork is happening , bitcoin is high , too many ico's so yea , it's like a storm but if you search good enough you will find good ICO's and alts. Better wait for bitcoin to have it's correction and then join into alts for quick profits.

If you are planning to hold your coins for a long time then you may want to invest on alt coins but if you want to earn for atleast a couple of years in your investments then go for bitcoins.

I think my 100 k some of it I invest and trading so my money continue growing. I build a small business and I want to buy a house and a car for my family. Invest in bitcoin is good choice because your will secure and safe so you dont worry about it. If you have a big money like this you just save it for your future.

Set up a Trezor, and get an account at a place like coinbase. Start buying at small amounts like $500USD and practice moving it to the hardware wallet.

Then do larger amounts, like $5000USD.

Spread the risk out this way. Then pretty soon you will have the entire amount secure in an offline cold storage. Keep a few hundred USD/0.1BTC in the coinbase/whatever as fun money.

Yes invest to bitcoin and hold, some will say that don't fully invest that $100k  to bitcoin but for me that's the best investment that you can earn quickly.

The movement of bitcoin's price is very fast so you can also earn fast with that big investment.



Some will also say that you have to diversify your capital to different alt coins and not only to bitcoin and if you think that you are comfortable to do that, do it.

Honestly, the question of whether to invest in crypto-currencies becomes ridiculous. Is it really difficult to go to Google and see statistics on some crypto-currencies over the last 7 years? They are constantly growing, if you keep them and keep them. It is a fact. And they will grow, as they carry a lot of perspectives to the modern world.

Actually to be able to get a lot of advantage I think bitcoin is a selection of the most important thing to do, because it's been proven with certainty the bitcoin and many penggua who already has many advantages. But if indeed you want to invest in addition bitcoin, then it would be much better to invest in ICO. Because there we have a greater opportunity to profit, but it must be done the right way
 

you should invest in bitcoin not in altcoins, when the bitcoin price will go up then the prices of altcoins will be dump, but if you want to invest in altcoin only invest a new altcoin that has a potential to increase. I prefer invest bitcoin because for me bitcoin is for long term investment.

What you said is perfect because i have also seen that what ever a good project other coins can have but their value will always swing and it will go down any time, but in BTC the price will always move up and it always have got value so when ever get chance just buy it dont see the price as the current price will be lower in the future.

If I had 100k like you, I would go straight into Bitcoin. Bitcoin value has been increasing a lot recently and it will probably continue. Altcoins value mostly depend on Bitcoin. Ethereum hasn't grown as much as Bitcoin did. You also earn some money on hard forks. Not all of them are worth a lot but it's still a nice amount of money to have to pay for example for dinner in the restaurant etc.

I would suggest you to split the money in different assets .
Don't invest all you have in one single asset ,it isn't a good strategy,
Like buying BTC of full100K can make profit but you can make even more profit out of it by splitting the investment in different altcoins .
There are many alt coins on the crypto world with good potential to come up like ETH , riple , LTC etc:- .

Buy before investing in any altcoins you should have a brief knowledge about the value of the altcoin itself and should also know the appropriate time to buy them.

Bitcoin is always much better than other altcoins and ICOs, if you ask me. At least, it's guaranteed to maintain a solid demand on there. In altcoins and tokens, there is no demand really. Their market is very bearish. I would go for bitcoin.

The one who caught my eye is Propthereum.io. They are an upcoming asset backed coin. If you are interested in investing in ICOs, i suggest you check them out. They are expecting a 1566% coin appreciation in a short period of time.
Proceeds from their ICO will be used to buy A-grade property worlwide which will generate rental income. You might want to check it out.

I am a firm believer of diversifying coin though i don't have much coins in my account now. With the amount you have, i guess it is best to invest maybe 70% of it in bitcoin and the rest in altcoin so you will have a wider opportunity of growth. However, when you invest in altcoins, you must choose the altcoins that have a huge potential of growth.

OP's don't have to wait for that, if he feels that he should invest his money to bitcoin or in Trading then we couldn't do anything about it, besides, most of the time, if the bitcoin is Dumping, most of the Altcoins are also in the DUMP state so it is a good chance to buy some, of course also bitcoin, then hold it, wait for its correction and then sell it, the result is the profits that you could never imagine.

Donate to ICO, with good interests or offers, or maybe you initiate a new coin, do some airdrop and finally throw it to ICO. But if you want to buy some major crypto better hold to rate down a little bit by the way that's enough capital for a person. CMIIW :)

I do not recommend it in the short span. If you invest in ICOs, you will be profitable. Also the market is very dangerous. Bitcoin ruined everything.

Looking at the current value of bitcoin. I would ask you to invest in altcoins which can be trading for good amount of profits.
Buying a bitcoin and holding it for long term also can get you fair amount of profits , but it's just that it can't get you that good amount of money in short term.

I think that buying and holding Bitcoins would be your best Option if you want to earn good amounts of profits as Bitcoin, without any doubt if the most popular crypto available in the market. It has alot of potential to grow and you can easily expect it's price to be above 10,000$ by end of this year or so.
You can also buy and hold some progressive altcoin like ethereum if you are looking for short term investments but i would only recommend Bitcoin in the long run.

everyone obviously pushing bitcoin (bitcoin site) but do the math before jumping all into bitcoin. The first thing is that you need to set at minimum a standard risk:reward ratio of 1:2 because even though you are unlikely to lose all 100k,  you ARE none the less risking that ENTIRE amount (theft, error, regulation, disaster etc).

Given that R:R of 1:2 you need to make 200k profit. At 7k-8k per coin you can buy at most 12-13 Bitcoins with 100k, which means the price would have to rise to about 15,000 per coin.

You have to decide if that will happen within your time frame or ever. People who already have hundreds of coins are chanting loudly 1 million per coin, sure, maybe, but to me bitcoin is now a game only whales and the sheep that follow them play. You can make money but 100k is peanuts for bitcoin riches now. Yes, do bitcoin but make sure you have a good portion in alts where risk:reward is more attainable if you do research and are not greedy. This thing is too new to ignore that option.
