Bitcoin Forum

Hello there,

I'm new to investing in altcoins, as previously I've only invested in BTC.

I'm looking to invest around $500 each in three high potential altcoins, I'm happy with risk, obviously big risk = big payoff, but I'd also like there to be some logic as to why these particularly coins can succeed or outperform the rest.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, currently I'm looking at NEO, Waves and Ripple, but Dash is also looking promising. Is there an exchange where I can easily convert some BTC into these?

If you are looking into Dash try DeepOnion it is undervalued at the moment and has great potential. Likewise the other two coins of Waves and NEO are solid coins however I dislike Ripple a lot and would avoid that coin. It simply has too much centralization for me to prefer it as a coin in my portfolio. Lastly I would take a look into coins like XRB, GBYTE, and MSP (RaiBlocks, Byteball, and Mothership respectively). All of them also seem undervalued to me and are due for a good run up.

Do you seriously consider Ripple too centralized but promote DeepOnion, a coin that's completely premined with massive amounts being controlled by the devs? That's hilarious.

Well in my opinion 500$ is very small budget to start investing in the crypto world. But if you have just this amount and you would like to invest only in altcoins I think Ethereum, Dash and Litecoin are the most promising altcoins actually.

If I see a particularly promising coin, I don't mind investing more, but since I'll probably be investing in high risk coins I'd like to keep it low. I like the sound of Ethereum, but it hasn't seen gains like Dash and LTC, maybe its turn is coming soon.

Don't play around. Go for the better Altcoins.

Monero
BTC Gold
Eth
Eth Classic
Litecoin

Later on, when you don't have to ask such questions you can take some of your earnings and speculate.

If you are so happy with high risk, then invest all in bitcoin or invest all in coins with very low market caps. Try to find unique coins not scam ones.

It could be a nice idea to check byteball, USD price is "stable" versus some others coins, so it hasn't pumped yet. It has a great potential too. One day, it could skyrocket a bit like Monero or some others.

ETH dropped a little bit today so it can be a good time to enter on it :)

With these two altcoins, you're not doing such a risky investment, I would say. Keep your last part not for one altcoin, but for some projects that you'll find interesting  ;)

You will have some headaches once everyone will answer with their opinions, haha. Everyone has his own feeling about every coins.

DeepOnion looks very promising to me, it has airdrops and a great community. You need an account with Cryptopia.co.nz  cause that is the main
(if not the only) exchange (Nova is shutting down).

I would take a look also at ACT, chinese project that began marketing a lot during these few past days (for this you need an account on Okex.com)

Dash = Scam project and devs.
Waves = Dead coin only being pumped because of hype.
Ripple = Easily manipuled by banks/governments, it can easily break down it's price, max price = $0,50 - $0,75

Invest in real coins, look for ethereum, monero (it did x2 since the last 10 days) litecoin... Cardano..

Iota is a big coin too, it will be worth more than $7 during the next year, so if you want to make money, just invest in one of those before it is too late.

I would say DeepOnion, looks promising

Look no further than Monero. I also value Vertcoin and groestlcoin quite highly they have a lot of room for growth and are still relatively cheap compared to the big ten!

But it doesn't though! It's going against the most basic crypto fundamentals. It's a noob-trap. Just look around how many people have it as signature.

@Parodium: It's very far from me to recommend coins but in case you're planning on holding for more than a few months, I'd suggest reading about PIVX. Be warned, that I'm a holder and therefore biased - which is why I just recommend reading about it and not just blindly investing. The reason PIVX comes to mind is because its USD chart is just beautiful (green line (https://i.imgur.com/DH77j8E.png)) and because you can stake your coins which means you're expected to earn much more than with just holding. I'm fully expecting it to go beyond $15 next year - but that's just my guess.

Can you buy bitcoins and keep that amount in a reliable exchange till the end of the year . What will happen if you keep it there. By the end of the year, Bitcoins might hit 15000$. There are four upcoming forks coming which if you keep that amount in your wallet. You can get free coins and later resell it to buy your altcoins you want to invest in.

#Bitcoin: Upcoming Hard Forks:

- Dec 15th: Super Bitcoin (498888 block)
- Dec 23-24: Bitcoin Platinum (500000 block)
- Dec 31st: Bitcoin Uranium (block unknown)
- Jan 2nd: Bitcoin Cash Plus (501407 block)
- Date & Time Unknown: Bitcoin Silver (block unknown)

WISH I CAN GET A LOAN TO INVEST IN UPCOMING HARD FORKS AND PAY WITH 50% INTEREST BY JANUARY 15

ETH, LTC, Monero, NEO or EMC2

maybe a viberate, you can read more here: https://www.viberate.io/

If i should choose from yours ltc, monero and neo would be the best if we talk about 500 dollars investment, cause thier price are most suitable for this amount imo.

I bought these coins
strat
SC
BCH
BTC

I invested in Stratum, Ripple and Lumens, and have seen decent returns.

What are you all investing in, and what coins do you avoid like the plague?

I am not sure about that $500 is a suitable capital to divide three pieces or not. I think it is better to choice two coins. And my opinions would be two of these three: btc, eth or xrp

It depends not only on your risk tolerance, but also on your investment horizon. If you want to trade actively and make quick profit - Ripple and Dash both offer sufficient volatility. If you want to invest for the long-term, wait longer, but get far better profits, then I'd recommend buying BTC while it's low, IOTA, and potentially LTC.

If you're looking for something long-term then I suggest you buy into: ETH, XMR, and IOTA

My altcoins suggestions are: XRP, ETH and LTC for a secure investment. More risky: XVG, BTS and BCN.

I think it is a pretty good amount for starters since this will be his first time to invest in altcoins. Also, he said that he will invest $500 "EACH" in the top 3 coins out there that has the highest potential. In my opinion, I'd say go and invest to IOTA, it has garnered a lot of attention lately and has risen by a mile this month of November 2017. This is what I think the most promising coin out there because it is not using the blockchain technology unlike most of the coins out there. Try researching about this coin and see for yourself.

Just buy 100 DeepOnion and start taking part in weekly AirDrops. Every friday you earn around 5% from your participation. Go to link on my signature for more information. Dont miss it! DeepOnion has a great potential to rise. You have a member rank so you should take advantage of this opportunity.

1. Monero (XMR)
2. RaiBlocks (XRB)
3 NEO

OMG it is second time when I see smbdy is writing about deeponion. WHAT IS THAT?

500$ is not small amount may be for some one its very small but for many its big so if you want to use this in 3 altcoins then use very carefully because currently price are moving very quickly and if you have some research then try to invest in good and solid projects like Ether Dash and Lite these can give you some good profit for long term investment

If you wanna moon, don´t buy things that already mooned  = buy coins with low marketcap and potential


Sumokoin, MyWish, Agrello, Nulls, Aeron..

Try Ethereum you will have no regrets. This coin will go to $3000 and also it is a well known coin now and is ranked in the top 5 on coinmarketcap. Don't forget that there are a lot of coins are based of ETH.

This will also give Ethereum a good support if new coins are based of it. I wish i had invested in it sooner because i was thinking of doing a investment when the price was just $300.

These coins are the best:

Litecoin
Ripple
Stellar Lumens
Verge

These 4 of the much stars wich will rise up in 2018

i think that you should look at 3 categories, i will tell which coins in those categories ahave huge space to grow:
-protocols: ZRX, RCHAIN, ZILLIQA
-anon coin: HUSH, PASC(is going to implement zsnark), NAV
-dex: ZRX, BCO, AURA

because of the total money you better choose those 3 coins on same exchange otherweise you would pay soo much taxes and transaction fees to exchanges.

1-BTC
2-LTC
3-Dash

OMG
Eth
IOTA
