Hello,

I will have 5K USD in 2 weeks and I am thinking which combination of altcoins should I go for. I am a high risk taker and this year I invested 8K into stocks without much gain so I am moving to crypto because the gains are very good. I wish I would have entered 6 months back at least and I would have got amazing results but I feel its never too late

I see IOTA making good ways but again its not proven and its decentralized .. Reddcoin or Siacoin . I want to invest in coins which have low value as of now so when they increase I be able to get good gains.

Please recommend which altcoins you think are best?

I don't see a future of Reddcoin. IOTA and Sia can be good investment for long run. Much safer investments are still the major coins. If you want a quicker profit, just invest in selected pre-sale tokens (with highest bonuses). They'll yield good profit in upto 6 months.

i would invest on waves, its stable and secure, and undervalued

With pre-sale token do you mean ICO? I have participated in ICO before of BAT and wthin a few seconds all coins were sold so someone using high gas price of ETH so my experience was bad...

Now it's definitely time for Bitcoin. No altcoins will bring you such profit as Bitcoin after it fell to 14k. It will soon return to 20k, I'm sure!

If you want to make more profit, and then you can accept the risk of zero, then invest in ICO, which is the way of high risk and high yield.

If i have $5000 USD ill invest bitcoin 20%, etheruem 15%, other altcoin 10%, and 5% to incoming good ICO.

If you are a trader you must know that cryptos are much more volatile and that even some technical tools you have found success with when trading stocks, may not work the same with crytpo. As with any trading, I would stick with those that have the best liquidity, you wouldn't want to get stuck in a quick trade on illiquid assets.

Some of my favorite are Litecoin, PAY, and ICON.

Litecoin is a fast and low fee currency that fulfills Bitcoin's functions better. A bit more centralized because Charlie Lee guides the direction but I'm like the way it's going.

PAY is the TenX token, Multi-crypto card that aims to make crypto spendable. Great communication with community and COMIT to scale in the future and banking licenses to supply even more customers.

ICON is the first Korean Blockchain/ICO. Backed by Multi-billion companies including, Dayli financial group, yello Mobile, and more. They already have partnerships with multiple universities, banks, securities, insurances, and more to come. Built on Loopchain, a separate blockchain than Bitcoin, I see immense potential in 2018 and forward.

I agree that it's good time to buy BTC

For best result but high risk is to invest in the top altcoins especially those with small marketcap.
Anyway buying Bitcoin and Ethereum now are still profitable and are sure way to gain profit.

That 5k USD will turn into tens or hundred of folds if you are going to invest it into top Altcoins that has lower price as of today like Ripple, Dogecoin, Verge, Oyster Pearl etc.
If you're going to save it in the banks then you'll miss the opportunity.

Well, Bitcoin is a good investment also while today is cheaper but think of this, the increase is in the minimum steps unlike if you're going to invest in multiple coins like that $5k for a hundred of thousands of coins and if that coin will pump, it's really pump harder than Bitcoin if you know what I mean.

That's only 50%, where's the other 50% going? Or do you mean 10% each altcoin?

buy them only if you can hold them for years. They may gain value in short or long term but you have to be dedicated to your investment and not chicken out when market reacts to some news. Reddcoin is not a great investment and lately it has turned into p&d, you can still make money but not something I would invest in. Sia, Xvg, Pivx, Bitbay, Ada, Powr, Etc. all of them are good investment in my opinion. However, do your research and invest in the ones that you can stick with for long term. Alternatively, you can keep them in btc since most alts are dependent on it or like someone mentioned diversify it between btc and alts.

spend all to nxt for short term, u will get ignis coin, and u can sell ignis coin....ez profits xD

If you are considering ICO's this is what I will be buying this week.

You may not totally skip Bitcoin and other main cryptos because they are higly valued at the moment because their potential has not yet maximized as well. However it is wise to apportion your portfolios for some other new and undervalued coins which could have great potential.  I suggest you look at Onion, Verium, and Diamond Coin.

You can check these threads for some suggestions:

It's better to diversify your budget and rebalance portfolio from time to time.

$5,000 is a whole lot of cash and can get you into different altcoins with hundreds of units from each. I will recommend the following 10 cryptos and they are below 100 sats each. It's a good way to invest long term.

1. RIC
2. BTM
3. CLAM
4.  MAID
5.  DCR
6. EXP
7. FCT
8. GNO
9. FLO
10. VRC

I would advice you to diversify your investment in XRP and IOTA.These two coins are performing really well and has been stable from last three four weeks.It is also advisable to invest small amount in bitcoin too which will reduce your risk probability and can get you good return.

monaco (MCO) is the best option to buy now. Its price so undervalued. It has to raise 30$. I believe in their team. They improve day by day. good luck. you will need

We love altcoins but we never know for sure what, who’s behind the project. Isn’t it sometimes better to invest in projects that work together with real life assets like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2646032.msg26955955?
Just asking?

sc is a good choice, if there is a channel, you can buy some IPFS. I think cloud storage is a very good hot spot, if applied above the blockchain.

$5000 is really a suitable budget for investment. I will suggest you INS token. It is released from INS ecosystem which has mobilezed over $40 million recently. Investing in it can help you get big profit

You can buy many altcoin for your 5000$ but you should need to choose altcoin that you know the value will increase and makes your capital increase with profit. Much better to invest in short term with your capital and do that regularly i am sure you will get more more income in the long run.

As you mention that you are high risk taker than i would like to suggest you that you can invest in TER token which is listed in livecoin.net
Present value of that token 0.9 BTC per token but if you see the historical data of that altcoin than you will be shocked because last month value of that altcoin was 9 BTC per Token.
I  am also invest  small amount in this token so lets see what happen after a month.

I would advise you to buy XVG with your $ 5000, because XVG will increase its price in the near future and you will not lose if you invest XVG now for the long term.

I think you should even out your investment in atleast five or more altcoins that have potentials in the market. 5k is a big money, you don't need to focus on just one coin to invest your money in.

yes same with me mate. i believe in iota. seems like iota will be the next coin that will increasing drastically in next year. i would believe iota will be the third best coin in the next year. many thing will coming for iota. i hear that japan have somrthing to do with iota and i waiting for it. there is a big investment too done by bosch on iota. i believe it that iota have a great future

Ethereum and waves are two coins best to invest if your looking for long term investment atleast for s year . Still there is lots of coins having high potentiality like electroneum but not sure about growth for next couple of months.

As I always say, find worthy alts with good team and supportive community, which hasn't gone 1000x ICO yet. :)

Suggestions:
- Waves
- Stratis
- Metal
- Salt Lending
- TenX Pay
- Siacoin

Spread it out a bit to keep your portfolio balanced. Check where bitcoin is. If it is in the middle of an upward trend, then wait until it drops again. Also, some either and a couple of others.

this coins has good potential.and maybe i will add one coin more.you can buy universa coin that has just finish their ico.but its not listed to market yet.we can join at universa telegram group to observe this.

probably yes. by the time bitcoin rises its fee are growing too making it unprofitable , the way altcoins do perform in charts are amazing. I invested in Sia coin Tronix coin and they gave me 0.002 BTC in a day by trading it.. for now I am holding because I am very sure that in the year 2018 they will skyrocket to the moon mark my words hahahaha, also DGB XBY XVG are good crytpo altcoins too. check them out

First of all it's Ethereum, I'd recommend invest in it $2-3K, other money it's better to divide between promising altcoins like IOTA, EOS, Ripple that will definitely grow in long terms.

my opinion and suggestion if you hold $5000 try to divide it on some of the list i have and have it hold for a long term period of time and wait for a big profit.

> BTC (Bitcoin)
> LTC (Litecoin)
> ETH (Ethereum)
> IOTA
> NEO ( NEO which is known before as Antshare)
 
these are my list of altcoins to be pick and Hold for a long period of time,
i believe on the Project of these all , and i believe and speculate this will take
flight sooner and will be next great deal next to Bitcoin,
some of the Coins i mentioned are old time coin next to BTC
such as LTC and ETH this two are far better than
Bitcoin in terms of many ways but not on price surely Bitcoin would be the King
for he is the first root of all cryptocurrency without him nothing exist also
for all concept of digital currency came to Bitcoin.

Still do your own research for the some of the altcoin, these is solely my Opinion and
Observation on these coins for the past few months of development of every coin.

what about KMD, AXE, SUMO? 8)
coinbase players might be a good option if longer run is acceptable
