Bitcoin Forum

I know it's a small amount, but I'd like a new altcoin to hold. Suggest what coin I should buy, and convince me why  ;D

(serious answers only, please)

Thanks in advance!

GEC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=776426.0) is distributed by its users to themselves and others, so you could save your "Bitcoin" (OBAViJEST) yet still acquire GEC.



(Note: the user-driven distribution helps thwart plutocracy (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plutocracy#mwEntryData). [See the posts cited below.])

Qora, great tech (automated transactions, decentralized blogging and social network, etc). it is totally undervalued.
But i suggest to do your own research. if you ask ten people you will certainly get 10 different answers.

NEM.  The minimum needed to harvest is 10,000 and uses very little resources on your computer.  $10 right now buys 100,000.  I've known people who harvested between 25,000 to 100,000 since launch just running the wallet in the background.

I'm here to spoil your stats mate! :) So, OBAViJEST: Go for Qora!

For 10 dollars worth I recommend something cheap with lots of potential and forward thinking. I recommend original from-scratch code coins like XEM, NXT, VNL, etc.   

$10 is very few. Better keep its in BTC,  Otherwise you must spend like $1 to send its to an exchange, Fees of trading of the new coin, Etc.....
Finally you will get $9. If you are able of hold this for a long time only buy Doges to watch what happens but you don´t could wait nothing anyway.
Or buy a few BTCD. In addition invest its on a coin with a light wallet, You  dont want download an entire blockchain for a week to keep few coins, Or yes? ;D
  

Low price, high volume...looking good so far!  I'll do some research, compare it against a few others, then come to a conclusion shortly  ;D I did trade QORA in the past; recently I bought into a few BURST.  Is cross-chain a thing? Can you explain like im five?!  TIA  :o


True, I've experienced such setbacks before trading small amounts.

Let me rephrase my question then:

What coin should I invest $9 in?  ;D





-------Appreciate all the responses :D

Some with a light wallet, I think.

you can invest at bitcoin :)
That is best choice

because bitcoin give you more spirit like sakamoto spirit

Ann say that he have BTC already.  ;)

I'd say go with tacos. 10$ worth of tacos.

Or xmr. Then again, I really don't follow the other coins, so I'm obviously biased.

I was going to say Monero or Boolberry. But now I am having seconds thoughts

Tacos is my final answer.

Invest in satisfying your hunger now. Use that energy to fill out some more job applications. With a new and better job you will have more money to buy more BTC, XMR, BBR and tacos!

Keep it all in BTC or invest in a large meal of tacos.  You'll be happy either way.

ohh better for buy FC2 at price 3000 sat like yesterday :) now price 4500 sat
if you buy it you can gain profit 50%

You guys are assholes, now I want tacos  :P

tacos ? never hear about it

If you're looking to invest into Altcoin, Hyper might be your best choice. I bought some Hyper a few months back and today they worth 2x the amount I bought. Better grab some Hyper today before you're late for the game. :).

Sell all your tacos for NXT.

Buy some GRFs cheap and wait for it trade on bitrex, poloniex. :D

Save the bitcoin and don't buy any altcoin.

R3D looks interesting and still in ICO phase..that's something I would checkout if I was you. As always dyor

Better you move this to yobit and play dice there because yobit is the only place in the whole crypto world where you can turn this $10 into a million. ;D :P

I hope you are joking...

just invest it in a newbon cryptocoin in its initial phase.
As many users have claimed that they have made more profits with this strategy.
BTW in my opinion you should buy an account on the forum and can double these in a week or two. And currently i'm also doing the same.

I would suggest peercoin, it has active development going on and innovative projects such as peershares. Peershares is a peercoin technology which has been used to build nubits and the upcoming bricks and chains decentralised exchange. There is also plans for a counterparty implementation to peercoin allowing for peercoin 2.0 coins to run on top of the peercoin blockchain.

Apart from that peercoin is built for the long term the 1% annual POS interest will allow for very little inflation and as such peercoin works better as a store of value rather than a everyday transaction currency. In 20 years time i can say with little doubt that peercoin will be around in some form or another.

In terms of price peercoin was once 3rd in market cap behind bitcoin and litecoin, within a space of 5 days the price went from $0.42 to $8. This kind of pump has happened before and it is possible for it to happen again. In fact just a couple of weeks ago when litecoin was pumping peercoin jumped from #11 to #4 on coinmarketcap. The coin has potential.

Paycon, not Paycoin. Paycon has a very low marketcap; so, it's a good entry to make 10x roi. Its dev is active, community is growing. It's harder to buy some cheap Paycon right now.

I've never lost money until I started playing YoBit dice....not this time  :-*

no need to play dice game many gambler said that always the house win then just invest in a dice site and look at your profit grow more and more  :P
that is what i'm doing  ;)
if the dice site have low bankroll you will get more profits ;)
good luck !

What do you mean by 'investing' in a dice site? How does that work, and how do you know you can trust the site owner? PM me if you'd like. Thanks :)

Thank you for the detailed information! I've always been interested in peercoin, now you have my full attention.... I'll see you in the official thread :) appreciate your reply, cheers  ;D

Teach me more about GEC...im interested

Any cleanet links?

Thanks, sorry was on mobile & didn't click it  ;D thanks for the info!

$10 is not much to be honest.

I'd rather put those in a high risk HYIP than to try with an altcoin

$10 gets you 6,25 kilos of UNO (YTD high of $5 now at bottom $1.60)
built on the bitcoin hashing network, so it is here to stay (merge mining)
factor the super low inflation and it's like buying 3200 btc for $10

now it is also POW so you just cold store that $10 of Unobtanium
wait 36 months and thank me later
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=527500  (stop by or feel free to PM)

ps
POS 'staking' is a hassle if you're new to it and $10 ain't gonna get you enough 'weight' to be worth the time/work/effort of staking.

UNO (unobtanium)

You should try to get some Mintcoin (MINT).

Mintcoin is extremely fast. For example, Confirmations are 20x faster than Bitcoin (30 seconds vs 10 minutes). In this day and age, money needs to be flowing for economic activity to progress, and to know that your money is good to go within seconds is a great feature. (Think of it like knowing that someone's check has cleared the bank within seconds, with MINT you know they are good for the money in seconds). If you were to pay for your food at a restaurant, with Mintcoin, you just scan a QR code for the menue item, and the waiter can see that the money is in and paid for right away, without excessive wait times. Makes business much easier. Speed is just one thing that sets Mintcoin apart.

Another thing that sets Mintcoin apart is it's fungibility. MINT has almost 22-billion coins as of this writing. A large coin supply is essential to be able to be easily tradeable and widely adopted on a global scale. This coin supply will gradually continue to grow at a fixed rate in the future. The fact of the matter is, coins get lost over time. Unlike say, precious metals like gold, Crypto-coins that are lost are gone out of the money supply forever. The problem is that eventually a coin such as bitcoin could become to rare and unaffordable, it will fail to be practically used in everyday trading, and microvaluations. If that happens, the value could actually drop out of the bottom, quickly be abandoned and result in a collapse. In the coming years, Mintcoin will offer a 5% annual percentage rate for savers (minters). Since many coins will not be saved for minting, and intead be used for transactions, not everyone will mint their coins, so the savers who are the minters will gain a slight edge in yield over spenders. The benefits of this is that by rewarding savers, it promotes conservative spending behavior, rather than wastful spending tendencies. If everyone saves their coins, they will increase in value, resulting in a wealth effect for all users. 5% I'd consider to be the ideal rate, as any higher runs the risk of being inflationary, and any lower, will likely have the result of becoming unfungible as I discussed above. So MINT has the ideal and perfect balance in this respect. As we have already started to witness with Mintcoin's price this year, the wealth effect is already starting to take root, which I put forth will become even stronger in the years to come.

Another thing that sets Mintcoin apart that should not be overlooked is that our community organizer is a woman. As far as I know, no other crypto-coin has this. She is basically the first woman to step up to take such a prominent role in all of crypto-coin history. So far she is doing an excellent job. There are few women in this field, and if this gets attention, and other women rally around her, it could really be a boon for this market in general. MINT has cryptomommy ^ ^

The Mintcoin name also sets it apart, at it ideally describes in lay terms what is happening, without trying to explain to people proof of stake. You simply save your coins to mint coins. The name is unrivalled. MINT has awesome connotations. It is so "mint". It is like "mint" condition.

The Mintcoin logo is also perfect to represent Money. An "M". Identifiable as M oney sign. And tick marks represent it as money too. Also a great minty color scheme.

Another thing, is Mintcoin was released initially as proof of work over a year ago, for the initial distribution. This was before the scrypt ASICs were invented, and it was converted to 100% proof of stake a few weeks later right before they came on the market. This helped to ensure a fairer distribution of initial coins because nowadays, there are basically corporate mining monopolies to hog all initial distributions of new coins, and it is less fair and balanced nowadays. Mintcoin made the switch at the right time.

Furthermore, Mintcoin is energy efficient. No mining gear is required to maintain the network and no mining gear is required to mint new coins. The way I look at it, invest what you would put into mining gear, directly into buying Mintcoin itself, and save it into an address that you name "would-be mining gear". Then watch when after about 20 says or so, that " would-be mining gear" starts minting new coins! It is the a great feeling. Buying the coins, also helps raise the price over time too, so each newly minted coin becomes even more valuable. And then if you want to re-invest the newly minted coins, it is simple, just keep saving, and the new coins you just minted will start minting new coins too! So basically MINT is a wealth producer, as by its design it does not need outside mining equipment and extra electricity, and the coins themselves are like little miners for you, that will keep working efficiently for you. Unlike mining gear that loses value and ability to mine over time, mintcoins will hold their value and maintain their ability to mint new coins if you keep saving them.

Mintcoin is a true asset. By the definition that the coins themselves are cash flow producing, in the form of new coins. That right there is the main concept, for wealth effect. For example, Gold doesn't produce anything, but mintcoins do. You don't have to do anything either, allows for a potential retirement opportunity, without a lot of work. Just simple run the wallet, and save your coins, and watch them grow.

The combination of all of this makes Mintcoin the coin of choice.

I think you should keep it for now and wait until you have some decent amount of btc and invest it in either clams or ethereum.

I think mintcoin is dead like pnd  :D

You should invest it in a casino that has is making slot of profit, or buy clams with it and stake it in your wallet or at just-dice.com although 10$ is less investment.

You can invest in altcoin which has a low price and then sell it at a high price. does not always ascending, but you can try it: D

You can buy Bytecent.
His price increase each time the BTC price increase and when the BTC go down he go down.
Today his value is around  0.00022778 for a BTC price of 218, when BTC was around 270 his value was 0.00031

Moreover the project is very cool ! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=999498.0

That's what I meant by 'investing'....as in 'what/which altcoin(s) to invest in'  ;)

i am thinking about litecoin myself but not still sure

Nothing, $10 is pretty much nothing in the investment world. $100 is the realistic minimum to get any money back.

Well, it's a little late at this point...and considering BTC's decline I'd wager it a smart move to convert that into an altcoin :P

Mayby with 10$ uncan invest in vanillacoin, i heard they are upgrading it(1 second transactions and no duoble spending is possible) that is what no altcoin has, so it is very promising to me.

Regards,
Joust

you can always invest in an unknown altcoin which is probably going to go up from 100 satoshi to 2000 satoshi but it is hard to find them and find them early.

from famous coins that have a larger market cap, i think litecoin is going to have at least a nice couple of weeks ahead since block reward halving is near and also the price is very low right now.

It's very easy to find new launched altcoins by looking at the altcoin calender.
But I think that ninja launch coins acquire more value because when people come to know about them then they start buying and so their prices increase automatically.

I think you should go and try your luck in any of the gambling websites and if you are ble to cashout 4-5x your deposits then you can buy some Mining contracts ....(cloud mining).

Dash or monero in my opinion ........ IF BTc project will failed the dash or monero are a alternative

BTC project can be close?
More info about this...
PM true.

Hi.Look Transfercoin TX.

Hi , Take a look to Deltacredits , first coin with decreasing coin supply :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1155319.0

How is cloud mining even profitable (for the one purchasing a lease)? All the numbers I've ran show that it's hard to break even on 99% of contracts... And that's if the site isn't a complete scam! How does one choose which coin to mine (and when)?

Buy a pizza it's a better investment

You should invest in something you have researched yourself first. And no, unfortunetely this thread does not get you proper research. It just
provides every altcoin out there a chance to promote their own cryptocurrency how they seem fit.

Why is this altcoin better than any altcoin i think it is just another scamcoin like most of altcoins are...

Regards,
Joust

You do not "invest" in crypto, you Gamble. It is very risky territory. If you like Vegas, go ahead. Otherwise, just hold on to your Bitcoin as it is the safest crypto there is. If you don't like bitcoin for some reason, just cash out by buying a nice restaurant meal with it. (or delivery pizza with http://pizzaforcoins.com/ , not affiliated with them in any way, other similar services such as menufy also accept BTC).

BTW, is it 10 BTC or $10 USD worth of BTC. I'm assuming $10 USD of BTC, that's why I said "restaurant meal". If it is 10 BTC, then buy yourself a fast computer and mine crypto with it. That way, you hedge your bets. If the crypto you mined went bust, you still have a computer. Better yet, buy the computer from some place that will refund the computer if you're not satisfied with it. That way, your bet is hedged and insured.

You're already invested in bitcoin.  Let it ride or add more.  You don't have enough to invest in any altcoin and you'll lose some of your capital in fee's just transferring and making trades..

Edit:

If you're dead set on investing in an altcoin then this is what you do with you're $10 in bitcoin.  Take half and buy enough of some cheap coin that has masternodes.  There are several that you could buy enough to fund one if not more masternodes.  Use the rest of the btc to get a $5 vps on vulture to host the masternode.  Vultr accepts bitcoin.  Setup masternode and collect payments.  Hope that the value of the coin will go up.  You will most likely not increase your bitcoin and in fact your bitcoin wealth will decrease.  But you will be able to sit back and watch your altcoin balance grow.  And who knows?  Maybe you'll pick the one that a pump group will pick up and you'll be able to cash out at $50 in bitcoin.

There are many ways to increase your bitcoin wealth even in times of downturns.  The problem you have is that you don't have enough capital and you don't know what to do.

Thanks for the vps idea - I've been looking for something like vultr for a while now!

I think investing in Alt coin is a really good idea , most altcoin tend to rise in a couple of days. But, of course its still a gamble. I'm pretty new at trading alt coin, if somebody have a pro guide on how to trade let me know thx.

No question about you need to investing in DopeCoin (http://www.dopecoin.com)  :P

Find some guttertrash alternate worth less than $50,000 and go all in?  :D

the best what you can do is gambling  ;) never invest in miners

For 10$ bitcoins its better to trade with dogecoin

Right.  I think there is a bunch of them, with real strong potential, out there and with capitalization under $50K.

You can't go around telling people about them because there's a lot of BTC whales here who can literally drop 10-50 BTC on everything.  Where do they get the money from?  No clue.  I think there's a variety of rich people here from tech executives, BTC whales, trust fund babies and older people gambling their retirements.

I do!

good job, but doge only goes up or down 1 satoshi every day so.. if it goes up u only have 1 satoshi profit or lose per doge..

i would suggest you to invest in NEM.

May be some cheap altcoin that can be stacked like OK coin or Paycon.

Startcoin, it's way too cheap at the moment and block halving coming next month  ;)

Buy a beer ?

Drinking a Yuengling as I read this  ;)

Me too! Oldest brewery. FTW.

but seriously, Monero. if you believe in cryptocurrencies, monero's the only one.

invest in breakcoin, it will skyrocket tomorrow !!!

Even if you find a coin that makes %100 in pump your money will be 20$, that's nothing significant.
When you invest small money your gain will be small. You can't expect big money from small investment, unless your coin tenfolds multiple times.
I suggest you to spend that 10$ for whatever you like in real life.

I should have added in the OP that the $10 I mentioned isn't all I have. Before that ten dollars, I had about thirty spread out between btc and various alts - some of which have brought me some profit, most lay stagnant.

Still taking recommendations!

:)

Currently staking sprouts - put about $5 of that $10 into what I already have :)

Anything you're staking?

Try MAPC so far only profit :)

A lot of big coins dropping real low - VNL, MAID, NXT, DASH, XRP......which of these should rebound the highest?  Any suggestions?  ;)

$10 USD is nothing. The best way to invest a very small amount of money is to buy a book (or ebook). Learn how to code. Then, write programs for bitcoins. Invest in yourself, specifically in your knowledge base.

try to buy GRM (Grid Master Coin) that a nice coins i think

NXT is the future and will take over bitcoin within 5 years

I still don't think investing in altcoin is a good idea. You need to find a pump&dump group or you have to really lucky to catch a coin before pump. Otherwise it's very hard to get better than %10 earnings.

nobody has ever been happy by joining pump and dump groups. these groups are not created to help you and me. they are here to make money by dumping on their participants.

also second part of your comment is not a good idea either. if you are investing in altcoin market and hoping to "get lucky" then your are wasting your time and money. you can get more lucky in gambling dice.

Thanks for this - I've been meaning to learn (I know java, but my knowledge is rudimentary at best) so I can create bitcoin-related apps/programs!
