Bitcoin Forum

I just got $250 in BTC for a bug bounty. What should I do with it? Hold, or invest elsewhere?
I already bought 8 ETH a few weeks ago.

In need of advice. Don't really know how to get into crypo, but I definitely want to. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Edit: Also, can somebody enlighten me as to what /r/BTC and /r/Bitcoin disagree on? I've looked at both sides, but I honestly still don't know what both sides are.

investment is better to hold just make sure you research the background of the ico you want to invest

/r/Bitcoin is bitcoin subreddit and /r/BTC is subreddit that doesn't support btc but they usually are against it and strong supporters of Bitcoin Cash, a fork that occured in the past. If you those 250 doesn't mean much to you and you want to invest/hold then do that.

Better ask specific questions for instace for investong do you eman invest elesewhere in othher assets or in other crypto currencies etc.

You should start entering the Bitcoin market with a small trading volume of no more than 1 Bitcoin at a current value of more than $ 7,000, even if you can start with only a fraction of Bitcoin. sell, move and store Bitcoins unlike traditional forms of online banking or investment. For example, if you send Bitcoin to the wrong "address", you can not simply call the bank and cancel the transaction. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with the Bitcoin trading mechanism with a The amount is relatively small, before moving to larger trading volumes.

bitcoin is a very good investment. all cryptocurrency it is. but before making any investment, make sure to do some research. there are some people who take opportunity to take advantage of beginners. as well, better be ready to take some losses. investing is nit for the faint-hearted.

My advice for crypto beginner is you read some topics here in bitcointalk on how to get crypto for free you can also join some bounties to get some crypto. But you need to learn the basic about crypto. In joining crypto you have to have the patience in doing the buying and selling because if you do not have the patience it is not for you in doing crypto. Because when you buy the crypto in low value you have to wait for the value to rise up if you buy and sell it right away you will not earn big you might loose aome of your crypto.

Keep 50% in BTC and 50% in ETH, don't trade and move the coins to a hardware wallet like the ledger nano s.

As soon as you get more informed and research properly other projects/coins you can then buy other cryptos...

I think you already did a nice decision of hodling 8 ETH. For $250 I think is it fine keeping it as bitcoin. If you have some more capital you can try to invest on some promising ICO's but make do a deep research first about the project to prevent being scammed.

Spread your portfolio between btc and eth 50/50..might seem like little money now, but wait a few years :) Also, I would set aside 1 eth and invest in 1 ICO..if you do your research right and get lucky you can do 10-20x, which will be a good foundation for trading/investing going forward for you.

You are doing well if you have 8ETH. You can check through  coinmarketcap.com and research the first 200 altcoins , their total supply, quantitty in circulation and market cap. This will help you to pick coins that has prospect of growth in future. Coins with cheap price will give you much volume if you buy them though you may hold for some time before the price will appreciate. r/Bitcoin are anti bitcoin but pro bitcoin cash.

Off course for the first part anyone will say that you just hold it and there is no need to put that money elsewhere. The prices are already jumping to higher dimensions and im sure once we reach high enough you will double your money in no time. The alts are little more risker than the BTC thats why im saying just stay in the BTC only.

Buying ETH was best decisions and that too a few weeks ago means at lowest possible prices and you must be in profits by now. But just hold for more.


Had no idea of that one. Great you shared it here.

Keep Half the bitcoin you earned and hold them as long as you possibly can, there are high chances that BTC will continue to reagain value. you hav ETH already whicjh is a good choive, now you can look into other high growth potential coins such as NEO,WAVES AND DASH, you might also want to try out LTC.

Your 8 eth is worth a lot more than your holding in btc which is only $250. If you want to invest you could add a bit more to your bitcoin so that you have equal amounts of each to give you a more balanced investment.

Not such a large amount, you can try to trade on the exchange
To keep such an amount does not make sense

Since you have the money from bounty I will advice to either keep in your wallet or sell to use for Personal things in life. Reason why saying so is that no investment is guarantee to last longer again. I have my own experience I invested $1100 in program but hoping to get more percentage to pay back but at the end they run anyway with our money. So I concluded not to invest again. But am not discouraging you not to invest but be very careful on where to invest the money in. Do solid research about the platform and after some time like 4 to 5 months take your money back so that you will not later run at lost or complain. And then continue your bounty program to win more. Is very rewarding if only you follow sincere company..

I don't think $250 will be much helpful for you in real life but if you invest this amount right in the correct coin than you can make a nice return that would be useful for you. Also you bought 8 ETH which isn't a small amount and many people would die to just be able to own a single ETH. Investing is better as just keeping it in fiat wont do any good to you.

Don't listen to anyone's investment advice and do your own research. You don't want the success of your investment to be dependent on what strangers on the internet say.
Start by learning what Bitcoin actually is, once you've done that, you can start learning about other cryptocurrencies.

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear... You probably want someone to tell you how to invest an in which coin you should invest, but that's just a plain bad idea.

The Bitcoin Wikipedia page actually has some really good information about Bitcoin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

Another great resource is the Bitcoin wiki:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page

Dont trade on emotion its a biggest mistake at all in trading need to trade without any emotion and nervous then you will make some profit.

Before you start in crypto, most especially in crypto-trading, you must have the knowledge and this forum will help you a lot, thru reading, you could get more learning and knowledge from this very helpful forum. Study the trade, pick some certain coins or tokens and study their trading history, volume and prices and their stability.

Never trade more then you afford to lose!

Invest that in bitcoin if you want to take risk as low as possible or invest in oax now it is $0.64 pretty cheap. I do believe in project and recommend it.

btc and bitcoin disagree on bitcoin vs bitcoin cash issues. Just check what bitcoin cash fork was and why it took place. Regarding the advices, I recommend you to try to provide the value for the community while investing, I believe that is the way this industry can thrive, if people not only speculate but also do some good for the community.

You bought 8 ETH without having any knowledge and experience about cryptocurrencies? That's where you did your first mistake. First learn and get knowledge about it then invest. 8 ETH is a good investment.

Since you have the money from bounty I will advice to either keep in your wallet or sell to use for Personal things in life. Reason why saying so is that no investment is guarantee to last longer again. I have my own experience I invested $1100 in program but hoping to get more percentage to pay back but at the end they run anyway with our money. So I concluded not to invest again.

Is better to invest it in other altcoin or ico to make more profit, better before you invest in any project make sure you take your time to study the project to avoid lost

I agree to you...  If you are a begginer in the world of cryptocurrency it is difficult especially if you have only a bit of knowledge and experience about crypto... Uaing this forum to get enlightened about the related information about cryptocurrency is better...  If you are a begginer you've need to study lots...  Trading and investing is good if you are knowledgeable enough...  Have a lots of experience and always be patient someday you will one of a professional crypto user...

My little advice is that bee commers shouldn't be in a hurry for the profit but be patient with their investment as good things takes time to mature.

You must learn first in order to keep your money, in my opinion you should dividing money (if surplus on your need) part of the investment and part for hold that's will be good .

the best and most important thing to do in my opinion is to do your research very carefully and to be mindful of your investments. and regarding the bounty; if you think this coin has  a future you hold and if not (maybe the development team is lazy and unmotivated) then you cash your earnings out and invest elsewhere. you need to learn a lot of things for your investment to be safe.

The first thing to do is to research the important things about cryptocurrency and read articles or forums here in biycointalk.It is better to gather first information before start.

My advise for you is to read and study about crytocurrencies and you should have to learn from it. Also, you must need to understand the market trend at coinmarketcap site where you can see the price history in every coin. Choose from their on your selected coin and check it's market performance before you invest. However, if you want a secure and promising profit, I think you should stick with bitcoin since your investment could even increase higher than the alts.

As a beginner you will probably make some mistakes that may break your heart, Just  bare in mind that you will loss in some of the investment you will go into no matter how careful you will try to be. You also need patience because some of the coins will not appreciate immediately.

Well,  I think investing was so much better for long term currently,  because the price is still down now I think isn't that good to sell it. Just waiting till the price up again,  but it's all back to you, maybe you can sell it if you need it urgently.

The besting to do when you are planing to invest is to research first the background of the ico you want to invest,  you must learn and have knowledge before you go in kinds of investment to avoid lost.

Before stepping on how to Trading Bitcoin For Beginners, we must first understand the concept of all types of Trading / Trading in this world. The main concept of trading is "Sell at a price that is more expensive than the price when buying", so it is clear this concept is RITEL concept, which is buying at wholesale prices, and selling it at retail price.

For me, it is really hard in the beginning. You should first learn the basic, keep reading and watching videos in youtube. Always be active on different forum about cryptocurrency. You should also keep joining on different group like in facebook or telegram channel, ask questions on some master here in cryptocurrency.

If you are new then this means your skill set is lacking, given that you don't have trading skills you are better off holding until you do have the skillset. Practice paper trading and be cognitive of the outcomes of your paper moves (trades where money isn't on the line). In terms of what to hold I would definitely keep BTC. Its extremely undervalued atm

For ETH, it has now high value, but then, do not sold it yet if you are aiming for bigger profit. Wait until its highest price so that you can maximize your earnings. For bitcoin, there is no other option but to hold it since the price is low as compare to last year's price where it reached its maximum. Just wait for the proper time then if you realized that are now earning then trade it.

I think you have already got in the crypto. The amounts which you mentioned are really good and I think you should hold your coins in this term, because the prices are still down. In my opinion, you should just wait for your profit. Good luck!

Before you invest in crypto,just make some research and observation of the development of certain coin but I suggest that bitcoin is still the best investment among other cryptos.

While holding your coins for a long-term investment,you can also give some of your time engaging in bounty campaigns for more earnings.While you are waiting for your profit by holding them,you will also have another earnings from your rewards in bounties.You still have a lot of things to be learn in this crypto world so keep on learning and exploring new things.

I think you should aim to buy and sell crypto, because if you do not have a target then we will be thirsty with crypto

just like its thing i have a target with buying and selling when profit 10% then enough.

Now i decided to write down some basic advice to avoid mistakes.

1) only play with money you can afford to lose.

2) NEVER EVER make a buy or sell that is triggered by a feeling of 'not wanting to miss out on a sudden development'. also known as fomo: fear of missing out. Invariably, you will make bad decisions if you do.

3) never buy on a sudden upswing. Especially if you don't know why it's swinging up. You may be buying into a hype curve triggered by other people's fomo. When that happens, you'll lose big in the correction that follows. The one exception is if you see a spike and then also find a good reason. When segwit was finally locked in for bitcoin, all the uncertainty ended and the price shot up for a very good reason. Jumping on that train can be a good decision.

4) when you finally take a profit and sell, walk away. Don't keep looking at the price. If you do and you see it going beyond the sell price, you may be tempted to jump in again and take a bit more profit. Not only do you pay 2 extra transaction fees, but you will also risk buying into an overshoot which corrects 2 minutes later, and you lose the profits you realized 5 minutes earlier.

5) understand that by playing carefully and with consideration, you may actually miss an occasional coin suddenly increasing in price. that is not to be helped. However, it also means that you are not making a lot of blind gambles that will cost you a lot of money.

6) do some research, and only buy into projects for which you actually understand the purpose and which you believe may work in real life. a coin needs more than fanboys shills to be valuable long term.

7) be very carefull when buying during a time period when there is a lot of euphoria and all coins are going strong. If the entire market is going strong, all coins do well, even the shitty ones

8) learn to recognize pump and dump cycles and avoid them. the saying in poker is: if you don't know who the sucker is, it's you. don't be the sucker.

9) look at the long term prices and use baselines, triangles and fibonaci and try to think of what you think the correct value to buy is. with some basic effort you can figure it out and set the buy order and walk away.

10) Do NOT try to play the game of buying and selling dips. buy dips if you want to play that game, but don't sell with the idea of buying back shortly after to game the dip. this is a good recipe for disaster. If you were holding NEO 2 days ago when it was 0.0039 BTC and sold with the idea of buying back at 0.0033, you'd be cursing yourself badly now that it shot up to 0.0064

11) when buying, don't just look at the timeline, also look at the order book. If you see big sell walls that are not balanced by buy walls, it may be better to wait for the price to drop some more.

12) doing the things above takes time and consideration. you will miss out from time to time by waiting to long, but you will also not make catastrophic errors. Also long as your positions are string, you can continue to keep playing the game.

Ok this was more than I had planned to write down, and nothing in it was rocket science, but it may help beginners. I surely did not start making decent profits until I started doing this.

large number of numbers. My advice, carefully first before investing, see the risks and benefits to be obtained should not all be invested but the remaining 50% for the remaining reserve funds

I would recommend investing those $250 in BTC and participate in other bounties with all rewards being transferred to BTC.
When you reach at least 2 BTC you can think of investing them in some promising ICO (by the way, you can do the same with your 8 ETH).
Just monitor the Marketplace section and familiarize yourself with the ongoing projects.

Bitcoin is for risk takers bitcoin is no exact profit i would suggest that you should make many research about cryptocurrency too avoid huge lost of money. Also read threads in this forum this will make help you a lot especially in trading mining and investing what altcoin has a potential.

My advice is hold the coins ,bitcoin is looking like it reach new highs.Then again you can learn bout trading and start there.There are lots of people earnig through trading.

Hold it. Bitcoin is a good investment despite of being with high volatility environment. In other words, hold it maybe one day it will become $2500. While you are waiting for the day to come Research more about how to trade and investing in the market, maybe it will multiply even more. The higher the risks the greater the rewards. Who  knows, one day your $250 becomes $25000. Just Do your own research.

Its better to research through this forum and read the posts of the meritorious people around here... Don't just ask for investment option or to hodl it as many new Launching projects will lure with attractive schemes to invest into their projects... So you should instead use your own mind and its good that you have already purchased 8 Eth. Its better to keep the ratio 1:1 for both Bitcoin and Eth...

My advice for a crypto beginner is that you have to be familiarized with the terms and definitions like blockchain, mining, selling, buying. Read articles, stories about bitcoin. It will give them a wide view about bitcoin and cryptocurrency and you will learn a lot of information about it.

r/btc is full of people who support only Bitcoin Cash. R/Bitcoin is the rest. I won't tell you more because some people might start arguing with me. You should see it in your own. It looks like you are into Ethereum. Not a bad choice, it has a huge potential to increase in value. You could spend some of ETH to buy some other popular altcoins or Bitcoin. It will be much safer for you especially that you have quite a lot money in crypto.

The tips are quite simple, the first is that you do not need to invest all your savings so that as bitcoin can fall and restore your position for a long time, you need to learn all the information about bitcoin and be aware of all the news about bitcoin

hold will be the best choice for this big dump bitcoin and ethereum is good in holding this year because some prediction said that the price of bitcoin will rise up to 50k$ this year and ethereum price will be 3k$. me im hoping to this prediction thats why i buy more coins now.

Be confident to yourself that you can do your best and earn profits according to what you expect. If you are smart to take advantage of the situation then it will be a plus. For a principiante then performing various actions by contando will help you, it will make you add experience and also habilidad train that you have. Investing is in dire need of trying to try, if you do not have it then do not ever expect the people to be successful.

In my opinion you should hold it because bitcoin is will be more powerful in the next few months or before the end of the year.
It's only my opinion and you should don't base your decision on what we say because it's very risky you need to do more research.

Be patient to hold and always a positive mind.

You have 8 ETH and $250 worth of bitcoin.

1 word, HOLD.

But if you are looking for more and better opportunities and you are willing to take a risk. Why not sell half of your ETH for bitcoin? This is a worth to take risk but it's your money and the decision goes to you.

If i were youni will just hold them and search about crypto or read the threads that might help you understand more.

Advice for the beginners is that just be wise and be patient. Cause not all the time the market is high sometimes it low, like today. Do not sell it in a very low price.

Newbies like you needs a lot of knowledge first about cryptocurrency before you enter into this field, because investing into cryptocurrency really takes a lot of risk that can cause you of losing to much money if you don't recognize this kind of investment. If i were you, you have to gain more learnings first about cryptocurrency on how to do with it and how it works, to avoid of losing a lot of money on your future investment.

my advice to beginner crypto. they should reproduce reading either in social media or books and magazines that describe (cryiptocurrency). and lastly they have to ask a lot of senior bitcoiners .By melagukan it they the newbie will quickly gain insight and knowledge about the world cryiptocurrency .

You a good time to invest in have. Bitcoin of price high to be. You 8  ETH purchased. Now, the price of a lot less. You that hold that can. I hope you from double the amount of benefit will be.

250$ worth of bitcoin is a good profit for bigginer, for me better to hold it than to invest it because now a days many investment scam spread outhere, why did you buy 8 eth thats a huge amount of money what if you lose it because your lack enough of knowlegde in crypto, Since you are a bigginer better just to read alot here in btctalk to make you familiazire in cryptocurrency.

As you are beginner I would not suggest to get into trading as trading can be done only if you have idea about trading for that you need to study the crypto market always keep a close watch at the markets and stay updated with the latest news on crypt o currency which will give you ideas on how to start of with trading better option to new users is to invest your money on bitcoins or altcoins as when the price increases you will be able to get good gains from your investment, normally investors look for the prices to go down to invest in crypto currency network and wait for the prices to go up and when the prices increases they sell them to earn profits from their initial investment.

Advice for newbies,they should be very careful with there 2fa key,private key, ask certain questions about how to play safe in the crypto world.. 

investing will be better than holding just make sure you research the background of the ico you want to invest in very well before making initial investments. As for the ethereum bought its good you should hold on and possibly get more

Since you are still starting in digital cryto, I advise you to gather some research about on how trading works. I would suggest that invest all your bitcoin in altcoins because in altcoins there's a high chance of huge profit rather than bitcoin. But make sure that if you get into trading world you must know how it works because if not, it might lead you into loss profit so be careful always. Always remember this, don't enter a war if you don't have enough bullet to fight. Same as in digital crypto. Knowledge is the key. :)

I would advise you to invest part of the amount in altcoyins from the top 100 market cap.
Only not in one but in pieces 10.

Good that you know about bounty stuffs. Look at very good projects or ICO projects that are strongly both as a team and product. You could also go for ICO bounty campaign for a very good project or otherwise invest in investment grade projects that have high stake for the future. For this, you have to conduct your DYOR and there are independent write ups. I usually follow Coin Gecko, Diddy Carter and Crush Crypto.

I think you should know about what Cryptocurrency is for you to understand and Trading cryptocurrency is one form of exchange that promises satisfying results in financial terms but also has the potential to fall and we ourselves have to be more careful and get to know when to buy and sell ;)

* Do Your Homework - First and foremost, investors just getting started with Bitcoin need to do their homework.

* Proceed With Caution - Risk is inherent to investment, and investors should keep in mind that digital currency is
 in a very early stage of development when compared to similar asset markets like the stock or bond markets.

* Diversify Effectively - Over the last several years, Bitcoin has produced some very impressive gains,
 and media outlets have developed a steady stream of stories about "Bitcoin millionaires."

* Keep Your Coins In Wallets - While exchanges are a great place to purchase digital currencies, they may not be the best place to hold such assets.

* Prepare For Volatility - The digital currency markets are notoriously volatile, and there are several strategies that investors can use to manage the inevitable price fluctuations.

If you are planning to invest, look for coins with very low valuation but with a good team and project, last year there was Dent which gave me a good profit and recently Pundi X, i entered when the price of the coins was around 10 satoshi and those two projects have given me a good profit, look for good projects like those and follow the team news, you can make your investment grow.

Cool, since that is your first earning, i would rather u spend it to have a nice time to have a feel of how real crypto is. It would help motivate and stir up your zeal for the industry all round and u stand to benefit much more as a result...just my thought

As a beginner before you get involved go for knowledge and understand what you want to invest in but holding your bitcoin will be wise so be patient.

you can choose different paths, from holding your money in bitcoin and selling them when you go up, invest in alt that have the potential to go up and / or make daily trading and raise your investment to the day, although the latter requires experience and knowledge because the risk of losing your money is high

You can well do hodl of the btc value you have with it and also keep hodling the ethereum too. I will also suggest you do some findings on some already existing projects which is now appreciating

Compared to Bitcoin altcoins are the best for making a good profit, a newbie can't find where to invest so you can try to understand how to identify the good coin in this market. we have many altcoins which are having high potential and low cost buy those coins and wait for some time if you pick good coin then surely you will make a nice profit.

Learn the basics of trading and cryptocurrency before entering this market. When you start your business, use a small amount of money to get to know the market well. Once you've captured it, invest more. Invest in the knowledge you gain from this market.

My advice is crypto beginner are to know about crypto,learn about crypto,must have patience.also must know trading.invest is a key of gain benefit.properly know about cryptocurrency market then invest is a wise idea.I think bitcoin is better in cryptocurrency.

keep learning about Crytocurrency, and that you can get from this forum. read more post here. this will greatly help you in learning the knowledge of Cryptocurrency world.

You can do diversity way which means you allocate your investment not only in one kind of coins maybe in two or three. At first you need to summarize and study the ico of the coins that you wanted for your investment. But I suggested you to invest in bitcoin and eth because it is proven and tested. It can produce a lot of benefits and opportunities to us. Just you need to know how the system flow. You need to gathered more knowledge about trading so you'll be familiarized to this.

As new in crypto investment, it is much better if you give time on reading and I may suggest that you just hold it for awhile until you fully understand crypto life and it's marketing strategy that helps to grow your investment. Crypto investment is really risky if you don't understand it and it give you chances of  losing if you don't have knowledge about it.

Crypto market is so unpredictable, so volatile, that I always try to avoid exact, straight forward answers.
Not even to the family members. I prefer not to give a very specific answers. Good future relations are of much higher priority to me.
If you are investing in coins for the long-term, the safest strategy is holding, but day-trading, or even casual trading can be profitable in the short term, allowing you to increase your stack relatively faster. Whether you’re a beginner to crypto trading or just trying to take a chance in this exciting new market, here are 10 mistakes you should avoid.
If you just listen to these people and put your money on the line, you are extremely likely to lose it. Doing your own research is the most important step before you enter any market. The crypto market is extremely volatile, which means price swings are normal, and if you get spooked easily, you will lose money. Panic selling is a common mistake beginners make, where they first get into a market without much research and then, when faced with a sudden drop, sell to ‘cut their losses’.

I would suggest that you should invest on the altcoins that belongs to the top 20 cryptocurrency ranking and study the choice of coin that you may wish to invest. Research its platform and check the history record if it does make a good rating by other peoples opinion before you let go with your investment. With this, I think you will be successful with your planned investment and keep learning.

Just be hardworking, and sow all your hardworks at the right time

Investment is the key. Nothing you can gain or benefit from mere holding of the money.

I will advise you that you simply enter the Bitcoin market straight away with a small trading volume of no more than 1 Bitcoin at a current value of more than $ 7,000, even if you can start with only a fraction of Bitcoin. After some time, it is advisable you move and store Bitcoins unlike traditional forms of online banking or investment.

I think you should HODl, and meanwhile you can keep learning and earning by the bounties and playing Btcs poker

In my opinion it is better to invest so that you can get profit in the future,the only thing is you need to choose a good investment make a research and study well.

Being a newbie i would advice you not to rush in every offer  that you see out there before doing the research about the relevant platfor

ETH continually increasing now, If you buy during the dips then it's your time to earn now, since ETH also have much use that it makes it still a good HOLD coin, many platforms were created using ETH, thus making another ATH is still applicable for ETH.

If I were you, I would start to read. Thats exactly what I did.
Read the whole day and just hodl until you are sure about an project. And never put all eggs into 1 basket!

Generally advice:
If your going to invest in to coins, check exchange if the coin is there, check news article if this coins was tackled somewhere, research on the team member and the project itself, care your money since you work hard for it, don't just invest!

I advice you to invest your ethereum in trading site and choose the right time to make your choice of buying or selling to make an important profit

security should be you're #1 concern, so much money has been stolen it's sick

don't be another statistic, first thing you should research is how to secure all you're coin

Double this, especially for tokens

Study the trade, pick some certain coins or tokens and study their trading history, volume and prices and their stability. Now you can look into other high growth potential coins such as NEO, DASH AND WAVES, you might also want to try out LTC.

As a beginner I found that Binance was the easiest market to trade....but that is because they don't just list coins against the bitcoin, eth or BNB, but they also use the dollar.    This for sure makes it easier for a newbie to begin trading as it can be difficult to keep up with the BTC price change.   However, lately I have noticed that many new exchanges do not list coins using the dollar and so, it struck me that perhaps I need to learn how to figure the exchange rate if I am going to progress in the crypto world.  in term of investing the Bitcoin or just keeping it.... I like to diversify, which includes keeping some of my money in Bitcoin.

My advice for crypto beginner is you can check through  coinmarketcap.com and research the first 200 altcoins , their total supply, quantitty in circulation and market cap.

There is a lot of information at this forum for the newbies. But the people who entered bitcoin market recently may feel upset looking at the great profit we got by this moment.

u should carry out alotof research and background check on any crypto investment u want to get invove in,and remember do notinvest what u cannot afford to loose

You will not get good amount of btcs with that much of money so its better to buy some tokens or Lites and Invest them for long

It depends on your risk profile and expectations from the market. If you are keeping your funds in Crypto itself then that is already a type of investment. As you said you have already bought it Ethereum, I am assuming that you have your own research for taking that decision and in such case, I would recommend you to have faith in the same and hold it as per your strategy. You can do further research in crypto industry and re-invest your ethereum in multiple other coins out there but make sure that you are not relying blindly on others opinion.

As a beginner, you should not go to trade. you have to learn market behaviour, chart and market analysis.  I think it is better to keep  60% of your portfolio as BTC and ETH. Other portion you can invest in Good ICO and stable coins. Before invest on any coin or ICO do your own market research.

Hi! Thank you for answers!

If you are a good trader then you can start trading or HODL.

Always invest what you can afford to lose. Research before you invest in some coin but for now, i will recommend you to invest in bitcoin. It is good for beginners.

Hold your 5 ETH for chances of more comeback and use the remaining 3 ETH to invest more crypto on ICO, since you can buy more kind of token that can bloom on the near future and your income will be x100.

Move gradually and dont waste all your money at once. Trade in small amount and try to figure out your faluts before flourishing more into it

I agree with this user. it's purely ones own strategy,but having ETH definitely is worth holding onto and one ETH right now is worth a decent amount. If you were to use 1/8th as this person said, to invest in an ICO that after studying it seems promising to you, that can potentially be a lot of tokens for you that will increase in value once the project gets flowing. Just be sure not to put all your investment in one place, I really dont see that as wise and especially with quite a few promising altcoins being born from the ICOs going on that right now will be cheap to buy. Good luck! :D

According to me put your money on investments if you play skillfully you will get a good amount of money in return and investments does not get close this early but remember to choose an investment which does pe because there are many fake investments out there. And I do not think that you should ever ask anyone to get advise company because everyone has a different point of view, according to the current market.

Invest those aleady brought ETCs in any exchange markets and wait for he next downfall so that you can buy some btcs this time with those profits

You can keep it, you should not use for trade when no know about money field market, and not enough available to lost it

Start with a small trading amount and then only go higher in the stuff.

Personally I would invest in some promising altcoin, it’s more a gambler perspective. If you wanna sleep relaxed then it might be good to keep your btc, otherwise if you are looking for some consistent ROI invest in Alts with strong fundamentals such as ICX. That said, it’s a matter of risk management, the more you risk the more you can lose as well as gain.

Good luck!

My advice for every beginner: DOnt start in to cryptos ;D You ask me why? Its simple! There are two ways how you will end. The first one, you will invest in some cryptocurrency, send it to your wallet, forget it and you will look at the value in some years again. Thats very rare. The second way is: You buy your first cryptocurrencies, and you look all ten minutes to the charts and you will waiting the whole time that the coins will go to the moon. This will not happen, and you will see other currencies who will rise faster. You will spend more money, and more time in cryptocurrencies, but you will make just less profit.

You can invest in interesting project. I told about altcoin company. If there a get good results of his work and development, price can be up x10

I, too, would prefer to choose promising altcoyins, since they have a growth potential higher

That depends on your risk tolerance. Alts are better return but higher risk. Usually, the younger you are, the more risk you can take. If you lose everything, that's no big deal. You will earn more during your life. So decide yourself. But I think you should keep at least a half in BTC and ETH.

r/BTC is bitcoin community and r/bitcoin is bitcoin cash (bitcoin fork) community. Bitcoin cash tries to pass itself off as a "true bitcoin". The way "Satoshi wanted it to be". The thing is nobody knows what Satoshi would like to do. Now people sign petition against Roger Ver, a well known Bitcoin Cash prominent for constantly saying that bitcoin cash is real bitcoin. The site of bitcoin cash is bitcoin.com. True bitcoin site is bitcoin.org. I don't have anything against bitcoin cash except that they fool people into believing that it's true bitcoin. That's not fair at all. No, it's not real bitcoin. Don't fall for it. If bitcoin cash is worth it, then why hide behind bitcoin brand name?

What to do with BTC? I would say print out a paper wallet, load the wallet with the BTC and stash somewhere for long term HODL

  It might not be worth much now but once Bitcoin increases in price your $250 will be worth a lot more.

  For example...if you had the $250 converted to BTC at todays price it will be 0.027777BTC

  Once BTC reaches the 100,000 dollar mark that same amount of BTC will be worth $2,777 dollars

  Now imagine what that would be worth when Bitcoin hits $1,000,000.

  Yep that same $250 will then be worth $27,700.

 So my advice is to hold. Goodluck on your decision!

Just do a  basic research of the ICO that you want to invest in and go ahead.

Hi there,

Our general advice would be the following:
- Only invest what you can afford to lose;
- Pay close attention to the BTC (the price movement of the BTC affects the price movement of the altcoins);
- Diversify your crypto investments;
- Take home some of your profits to make them safe;
- ALWAYS Do your own research;
- Try to learn from your mistakes;
- Set stop losses for short-term trading;
- Always double-check the ticker (many of us remember when people bought Bitconnect Coins when they thought they bought Bitcoin Cash)
- Don't try to time the market; and
- HODL.

First advice it's check ways to earn cryptocurrency. It's trading or bounty/airdrop programms. In bounty you can participate in different campaigns and get tokens which you can exchange to btc/eth/fiat.

You must experience the Bitcoin trading mechanism and then only invest in it.

To learn crypto, you need to know a lot.Firstly, in the first case of crypto, invest a very small amount of money.At first, many people did not understand the loss of the crypto.You can learn to follow somebody and see lots of videos youtube chanel that you have to learn crypto. Please select the correct coins and invest in them.

There is some advice given to beginners in crypto currency :
1. Be really prepared, where the most remarkable thing about crypto-currency is that there is a lot of information about them. Moreover, the
    investment world is also trying to simplify the situation, making bitcoin more accessible to traditional investors. The introduction of
    investment tools such as futures, will help people understand how the crypto currency works.
2. Be careful, where any Investment is risky, but in the case of bitcoin, this risk is slightly higher due to its volatility.
3. Effective diversification of investments, which as a rule, beginners first hear about bitcoin, but in this world there are about other crypto
    1500 currencies, and some of them grow at a price much faster than bitcoin.
4. Do not store tokens on the exchange, where In the crypto space, there are still many hackers and thefts, and it is important to be careful.
    Not difficult to destroy the lives of hackers. The main recipe is simple: use exchange only for exchange. After you purchase crypto
    currency, transfer money from the exchange to the wallet that you control only.
5. Prepare for the ups and downs, where Bitcoin is known for its instability - so many traditional investors come from it in horror. Even a
    strong interest rate cut does not mean that an irreversible disaster has occurred, but it's hard to keep thinking logically when you enter
    the red zone quickly.

Read about the process, understand it and learn about the Crypto world.

My advice for you is to learn and acquire the knowledge and skills needed before committing your real cash into it. Meanwhile as you already have some crypto, I think you can hold it and let it grow, while you learn. Let your dream be to become a pro trader and trade your own money.

A friend introduced me to the bounty program and since then I have earned quite a bit of money to cover my tuition and living expenses.
Bitcoin is a great thing...

But your account has been just created and it is literally your first message! How did you manage to earn something from bounties without even a Bitcointalk account? Or is it your alt account? Then you should know that cheating bounties with alts are forbidden.

My advice...if you aren't in use of money as at the time of this reply..you can pick up some good altcoins for investment and great profit...look for low cap coins below 10mill and hodl for long ...this should give you at least x50 of your money

Find out good ICO's and invest on it. you can gain good profit. But remember find good projects not scams or pyramid projects.

Bitcoin and etherum are one of the best coins which you can hold this year, cause prices now are going up and in my opinion they will be doing so for some next weeks so hodl in your wallet and after that you could ask what to do but remember that the most important decision is only up on you.

Find out good ico's and invest on it. It's the best option. If you are not investing on other thing HODL your remaining currencies.

Brace your body for impact of loss, and sit tight throught the journey of ups and downs :)
