Bitcoin Forum

Hello all, as a crypto newbie , which crypto currency especially between bitcoin and ethereum would you advise me to start investing on, and please state your reason, thanks

None, do you research and then make your own decisions instead of relying on others. You're going to get shilled a bag of shitcoins and lose all your money.

Especially as a newbie you should do your own research about projects.

Start with reading this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

Don't post your question but read

If you still have questions, google it, there are so much threads like yours you can find on this forum: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Abitcointalk.org+%22newbie+help%22

If you are blessed with good income, buy $____ worth of Bitcoin every month, and sell just a little on huge rallies. This way you get a variety of prices and cannot lose in a long-term uptrend.
ETH? I am expecting to earn some by participating in ICO bounties.

I think what you really want to know is, what are we investing in? I have no problem sharing with others what I'm personally diversifying in. I personally started investing in a few ALT coins that have been doing really well in the last couple of weeks. On the Coinomi wallet I have the following:

Bitcoin ( tends to go up and down, it's going through a slight pull back right now)
Bitcoin Cash went up over 1000% percent since it started at $130.00
Bitcoin Gold went up 200% since it was released.

Learn the basics, Invest wisely and Keep your eye on the alt coin and crypto market at coinmarketcap.com (http://coinmarketcap.com) and be sure to always do your research. Read these forums and weight your options. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose. Do your research and if you want to invest then start small and then slowly build your portfolio. Data Dash on youtube.com is a great place to start. And if you haven't gotten one get your self a cold storage wallet, I've noticed that there are a lot of new people who hold a lot of crypto assets, but haven't even considered cold storage security yet.

I can only advise to you is you choose the both cryptocurrency because this two coins competing each other in the blockchain and most of all users had this two coins. This two coins also keep on pumping to the moon so much better invest both cryptocurrency.

Do your own research. Asking questions like this is pretty much like inviting pump-and-dumpers. If you want to go the safe route, go with Bitcoin(BTC) and Ethereum(ETH). Probably diversify your funds into both, probably 70% BTC and 30% ETH, depending on which one you think is more valuable in the future. You could also mix up with other reputable coins too, like Monero(XMR), IOTA, etc.

ETH is my advice, because bitcoin still not stable yet.

don't trust what anyone tells you, only what your intuition tells you

thanks am doing my research, i just wanted others opinions and l cross check then make up my mind.thanks for the advice

You'll get 1000 different opinions from 1000 people.  And who knows which opinion to take since this is a mostly anonymous forum?  My advice is to go learn everything you can, and start small.  Keep learning and don't stop.

thanks much , i appreciate

noted, thanks for contributing

hmmmm nice one, i will definitely looking into getting a cold wallet. thanks for the tips

I think you should invest in ETH, because it is very stable, the new coin also pay the whole ETH very much. The bitcoin is fluctuating very erratically, when people like you  :D

You should invest to bitcoin that is the right decision, but it depends on you if do you believe in btc. Most people trust only in bitcoin. I also believe that someday bitcoin will make me rich.

i think the bitcoin price is now already stable, but not with eth you can find what is the more profitable for yours then you can try buy it with your own mind.

search the meeting which provide the cointelegraph and similar famouse sources.. want to recommend you the Blockshow Asia and I know the promocode

Hi, i recommend you to invest in reliable cryptocurrencies, to diversificate risks risk invest in different cryptocurrencies, but Ethereum is more stable than Bitcoin.

Hello. For the first I recommend you to watch the cryptocurrency courses (not only for BTC or ETH). Some time later you will understand the tendency. Based on this info you can invest in small (or not so small) amount of money into the cryptocurrency.

what the promo and how much discount I can get?

I got confused of these post i read everyone suggests differently, but thanks i have learned, that i should research more futher before i invest in a coin,altcoins,tokens and i cant believe that even newbies gives suggestions i thought this was for newbies  :D lol 

Hi, for me Ehereum is more reliable, in the last week rate of Bitcoin is changed many times.

If you are starting now probably you can do not want spend all your money in cryptocurrency so i recommend you start with ethereum because it is cheaper than bitcoins.

i think the best you have to do is read your self,make you own and select securities which are comfortable for you.don't pay so much attention to what other people say ,the best person you can rely on is yourself. good luck out there .

Serious people are engaged in the development of financial intuition - this is for sure

Just try at the beggining by investing not whole your money in crypto but only part of your savings cause it could be bad decision and our opportunities to earn are not always these good ones.

Ethereum is always improving and developing new tech in the crypto/blockchain space. It's good to keep an eye on them, they are sure to grow over time.

Don't listen to any investing advice. Learn from the begining and read a lot. Read about projects, check out the team and devs, analize charts, follow important people on Twitter, Facebook etc. Lots of users give advices for begginers because they want to do a PUMP and DUMP.

Invest to altcoins which is part of the top 20 in coinmarketcap. My favorites are DASH, ETHEREUM, MONERO and ZCASH. When their price drops down up to -10% to 20%. That's the best time to buy! They will get on track so fast and earn let your money grow in an instant.

in my mind the good crypto currency are you in the top 10 and above and you're sure you will not be bothered. My advice is to you and put it first before you go into something.

You should watch also Waves technology - very promising. And our token there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2293442.0

My advise is to watch out for airdrops. Most of them are thrash, but there are some which can give you some nice money.

If you are not familiar with digging machinery or BTC, I would advise you to invest in Ethereum. It will cost you a lot, but soon your savings will certainly increase.

My very general advice - only invest in what you have fully understood, otherwise it is just gambling.
Pick a token/coin/ICO/Cryptocurrency that draws your attention and research the hell out of it, don´t take direct investment advice from anyone (if it is the best thing ever, why share that tip with you for free? Because there is always a personal interest behind it..)
You can make huge returns with crypto, but also very easily loose everything you have invested, be careful and do your own research.

But since you ask - this is the hottest thing ever:
get some Ether or Bitcoin and invest in my ICO
REALISTO - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT ON THE BLOCKCHAIN

(But do your research first! ;D)

Hi
I'm dealing with the same issue here.. there are so many crypto's so it's hard to make the right decision. I'm reading a lot about it, but still there are so many and different people give different suggestions...

So I'm following this interesting topic... but I'll do what my mind says..

Great advice, thanks for your reply

Of course, am researching, l also like to know what peeps views are, hence this post. Thanks for sharing your view.

As a fellow crypto newbie i have invested on both bitcoin and ethereum.

why?  Both of them will definetly more expensive in the future.

I think Ethereum with smart contract will be second digital currency after bitcoin and growth will faster bitcoin therefore i choose ethereum

I've seen so many other Bitcoins, but, I wanna stick to those I know. I have ETH, and XRP. They are both promising, and could potentially increase in value in the new few months. Then, once I hit my target goal, I may sell them, and keep my bitcoins. It's up to you if you wanna trade. You can actually earn, by just keeping it. Just trade carefully, and study about graphs and technical analysis. Caveat!

it depends on you, you'd better invest in bitcoin, but you need much money to invest in it.

GOOD
trust me, read these and you well feel more confident

My opinion if i have to between bitcoin and ethereum then i will choose Ethereum, reason?
Now bitcoin is $8000 if investing to bitcoin you need a lot of money. As guess bitcoin will pass $10,000 but it's too hard to reach $20,000 in next year . While Ethereum was guessed in next year will be above $1000 therefore investing in ethereum can bring to more profitable than bitcoin

A lot of cryptocurrencies are now emerging and Bitcoins are one of the originals. For me, the best is Ethereum! And it can possibly rank more than bitcoin. It has proved to be the best in terms of security and value. You may check this link for more information: www.propthereum.io

You can find many useful information on Youtub, and if you have any specific problem then write here boldly, this is the forum. In your place first of all I would not invest too much in the beginning so as not to lose it right away.

Thanks, Helped alot

As a newbie, what are the dos and don't here?
