.... which one you would like to choose if u only have the choice between BTC and IOTA?

Well, obviously Bitcoin(BTC). I don't even know what IOTA is being used for; I'm pretty sure IOTA is still purely speculation.

Iota is using a new technique. It is called DAG, so u dont even need to save the whole Blockchain.
Also Iota has 0 transaction fees so it is no need to have miners, it is more ecological.

The fees and the features are not the first things to see. You can never go wrong with bitcoin for the simple reason that It's truly decentralized, and the development has been active for 10 years now, we had crashs, FUD, services being hacked etc. that's not something that can be said about a lot of coins.

From what I've read about IOTA also, It's not really meant to be a type of payment, It's about the internet of things. In other words, there will be always less demand compared to Bitcoin which is meant to replace fiat currencies.

I don't know if you are looking for a debate or is just looking for an opinion to which coin is better for you but it seems like you made your choice already with what you have written. If you personally think that IOTA will outgrow Bitcoin in terms of price increase then you should go for it, mjglqw just expressed on what he will choose on both of them.

Alright. I'm just going to clarify more. I'm really not throwing shade at IOTA at all. I chose Bitcoin simply because I personally think that Bitcoin has a higher chance of gaining success in the long term due to Bitcoin still being the better coin in the "currency" category. Whereas with IOTA, IOTA has a decent number of close competitors in the space. IOTA could possibly be more profitable in the long run, but I'm playing it safe and sticking with BTC.

Definitely btc just wait for it to drop some more

You can hardly go wrong accumulating Bitcoin especially if you're getting it at a good bargain. So for me, faced with the choice of investing in the two coins, it's definitely BTC over IOTA without batting an eye. This is largely due to the economics of BTC (demand and supply)

Bitcoin, it's an easy decision. It's proven over 10 years, IOTA is new and hasn't delivered much. IOTA might be more likely to get you to a million but it's also a lot more likely to leave you with nothing. Bitcoin is the safe and sensible choice.

I think people would rather prefer a trusted coin to put their money on for guarantee purposes. No doubt that iota could be a good coin but I will still invest on bitcoin.

Would be Bitcoin as always since it would really depends on the price of Bitcoin of the other altcoins. And also Bitcoin would still make a lot of % in the future.

To answer your question, you need to think the following way

What will be the price of bitcoin in 5 years?

What will be the price of Iota in 5 years?

in a few years many altcoins will disappear because it does not have much use

You are right, all of these are both profitable, then you don't need for you to choose with these two cryptos as where you to invest. To have a playing safe, I rather choose Bitcoin since it is now a leading currency compared to altcoins, and this IOTA has belonged to altcoins which also swinging also when the price of Bitcoin fluctuated. It is obvious that many people here choose that Bitcoin compares to IOTA.

If i have to choose between two, i would choose bitcoin, as i believe it has got more potential in future. By the way, if i had had 10k USD, then i would have bought many other coins, simply not sticking to one coin.

Bitcoin is my favorite coin till the end of time. Other coin just " followin " it's existense
If you want to purchase crypto at the moment, better wait until it reach lowest bottom at least until December 2018 and it will continue bouncing in year 2019.

Be patient and Profit will come upon you !

Bitcoin obviously, no need to think about other coins if there are only two coins to choose like what you are asking for. Even if you ask btc vs eth, I would still prefer to buy bitcoin.
Probably you are supporter or investor of IOTA, that's why you create this vote. Surely, most people will answer bitcoin as the most preferable coin to invest. But you do not need to worry, if you really believe that IOTA will be on of the greatest crypto so go for it.

Who needs an altcoin when there is Bitcoin? Bitcoin has been here for a decade and is continued to develop by several developers around the world. So, my first choice would be Bitcoin if i have to buy for $10k today.

Same goes with mjglqw on here. We do know the profitability chances on IOTA but when it comes on being somehow secured for long term then there no doubt. BTC all the way there not questions asked
specially now the price had fallen low which actually the best time to accumulate cheap bitcoins.If OP loves IOTA then no one can force him out on which one he would tend to invest yet we do have
difference choices.

Still bitcoin. IOTA is great and all but I do not really believe in that project all too well.

I think it is a bit more complex and requires a bit more challenges to overcome before it can be worth what it is already priced at. However bitcoin is incredibly cheap for what it is and how much it is known so if I could buy $10k more into bitcoin I totally would. I think if given the option I would prefer ethereum right now though. I know question is bitcoin vs iota but ethereum blows both of them out of the water for me.

It is both known a lot like bitcoin and also provides a lot more solutions. I think ethereum at 130 dollars is insanely cheap and even makes losses for miners right now which it can't sustain for a long time so it will have to go back up one day.

I don't see the sense of the question even we put the situation into of picking only one between BTC and IOTA.

Obviously we will choose a coin* that is already tested thru ups and downs and "worth to take a risk" even it will take time.

But for a regular crypto trader or should I say, even those who just want to do trades on not on regular basis, they will choose a coin that they can take advantage. Even shitcoins are included to that*. Technology of the coin are disregard here because the goal is to take advantage of the volume.

Anyways, we all ready know the obvious answer here.

There is no doubt in that I will bitcoin when comparing any other cryptos just because of the bitcoin is more recognized and it is surviving a decade now but most of the other cryptos not even completing few years so the longitivity is the reason why I picked bitcoin but IOTA is also a good coins which can be bought when you are looking for a coin to make profits in short or long term.

;D And the obvious answer for anyone will always be bitcoin. I cannot remember who said this in one of the financial experts. He said if you are to be holding anything right now, it should be bitcoin and at least, you should make sure you are holding at least 1 bitcoin before you can decide to start getting into any shit coin of your choice.

I see most altcoins as just distractions and that is as a result of people thinking there is no more hope for them in bitcoin and they are looking for the best chance of getting rich quick with some altcoins, I basically would love to see how that ends up for them. As far as I am concerned, it is bitcoin all the way!

Don't put all your monry in one coin so if your preference is thse two coins then split and invest on both but for me bitcoin is more preferrable than any other cryptos so I will pick bitcoin for 70% of my capital and the remaining into other coins.

its safe if we diversify our asset into several coins.atleast 5 coins could give us several gains and loss.and bitcoin always get biggest portion in our portofolio.

Most altcoins today are not even worth it and they are basically just there for the short term price fluctuations which is why you see them always going back to their historical prices pretty fast than you can imagine as people tend to dump it for bitcoin eventually just to increase their stash.

So in a way, for anyone who can basically manage themselves in the trend of the market, there is no harm at all with that, but you still have to realize at the same time that at the end, bitcoin will always have the dominance whether we like it or not. So if I have such money and I am to pick just one coin, it is always going to be bitcoin.

Still bitcoin is better than the other because you will see bitcoin have proof that they increased the value very high. But if you think the coin that you mentioned if you think is good you can buy also but don't forget to invest also bitcoin to earn more money once market recover.

I will invest all of the whole money in Bitcoin. The market is  really good for buying to hold and resell when the price becomes good. The bitcoin price has reached its all time low for the year 2017 and 2018. Which means the support level of $3700 was created and the price has reversed to move in the opposite direction which means any investment in bitcoin now will yield profit within the next 30 days.

If amount is big then never should be invested in a single coin. Always should have diversification so that you are not holding the coin which is dropping but having multiple would give you the best of the profits or results and make your money grow as well. If your investment amount is very less then it can be thought of investing in single coin.

I will definitely go for bitcoin over and over again but I dont choose bitcoin because of it popularity or because it the first cryptocurrency. I choose bitcoin because of it potentials and most of the altcoin out there cant stand the powerful people in world which bitcoin have fought and overcome. I so much believe in what I see and past history of something.

Of course I would choose bitcoin, because the price of bitcoin is currently in sharp decline so maybe this is a good time to buy. But if only there was the choice of Ethereum then I would prefer ethereum.

I am also doing it this way as it will ensure my investment is the best. All altcoins depend on the value of Bitcoin, which makes Bitcoin investment more important for long-term investment. If you want to be safe, it's best to just select good and high potential projects

I will definitely choose IOTA over Bitcoin because most altcoins following the bull run started by Bitcoin in most cases right? If you do the math, IOTA will give you higher return and no one knows what will happen in the future specially if a big partnership to well known company will be made in side of IOTA. Bitcoin on the other hand surely will be the best pick but if you wanted to earn bigger in a short period of time, it is wise to invest to an altcoin with lower price.

For sure, I will use it to buy bitcoin. Bitcoin has been proven for many years, the value is undoubted. Bitcoin also is a coin that has high potential to gain profits. 10.000 USD is a good amount to buy bitcoin.     

Of course I will choose Bitcoin, because Bitcoin has been longer than Iota so the development is more mature and good. Bitcoin has experienced various fluctuations and conditions (both in good and bad conditions) so that its development is better. Iota is a coin that just started to still doubt what will happen in the future. So it would be better for me to choose Bitcoin.

In the history of the BTC has been living up to more than 400 times. And this time BTC will come back and bring new breath for the crypto market in the future. I still believe in the BTC script that will bring big waves before everything starts to change. Accumulating BTC and waiting for the opportunity to switch to altcoin reasonably will bring the greatest profit!

I will suggest you to use majority of the amount in buying bitcoins and the rest distribute it to buy altcoins. No need to worry about the down market this year, the market will most likely to rise again, if not next year, may be in the few years time.

well, 100% of course I would choose bitcoin. I feel that bitcoin is the highest level of crypto assets, and is able to influence other coins. so, I will still choose the highest coin to make an investment if I want to invest.

Seeing by the value and popularity, I prefer to choose bitcoin, besides large communities and fluctuations are also rather small, bitcoin is the right choice in my opinion, and is worthy of 10,000USD for the long term. It's just that the market conditions are still in a bad or bearish condition I prefer to save the money so that it can be invested where the risk is lower and profits are visible.

Buying anything currently in today's market could be dangerous for the health of your portfolio. But, if you're looking for a safe asset that couldn't go wrong even after showing big red candles, and does really have the potential to grow back to the levels where it was - in the past - - Go For Bitcoins.
Still, there are a few good coins you can go for - like ZRX, QNT, HAND, XTZ. Take my advice with a pinch of salt and please look into market conditions before investing anything.

Slightly I am not going to contradict with what you are saying. Yes, buying right now is not that much dangerous for the health of anyone's portfolio. Most probably this is the right time to buy more bitcoins. Please note I am saying only bitcoin and not recommending any other coin for investing right now. Even my recommendation may go wrong. But, if the investor is ready to wait for the some months then definitely he will get big profits. Hence, the key is how long an investor will be ready for waiting and there will be no dilemma about choosing a coin because it is always bitcoin as the right choice.

OP kind of people are not ready to their own research and that is the only reason they are coming out for this type of discussion here. I'm not saying this type of discussion is not good but we cannot expect these people to do their own research like market conditions and analyzing the future of the coin. Hence, suggesting them bitcoin will definitely save lots of hassles for them.

Well, without flinching I'll invest the money in Bitcoin. I know it's not good putting all of one's eggs in one basket, but sometimes some eggs are worth putting in one. Faced with the choice IOTA and BTC, I'm going all in on BTC. Buying BTC now means I'm going to stagger my buys as well.

choosing btc with the amount of $ 10,000 could be the best choice, but know besides bitcoin there are still many potential kpin like ethereum and neo to be chosen. so think before you put the choice

I would not buy just one coin. It is safer and more profitable to buy some of the best coins. You can see the cryptocurrency statistics and buy the top 10 coins, so you distribute the risks

I have to agree with "not just one coin", but buying to much different coin wont be effective to earn profit as some of them may not give you profit or even give you loses. If you want to do so then you should not use the same budget for each coins you are going to buy IMO. Give more budget for the coin that you really believe will give you more profit or coins that has the best possibility to raise significantly and spend less money on the other coins.
Top 10 coins does not mean that they will always give you good profit.

currently bitcoin is leading the market and is good when you buy coins like this for investment, 40% of my portfolio is filled with BTC and this has really benefited me to this day. I don't really know IOTA but I will choose ETH, XRP and ADA for future investments

If given the choice to choose between Bitcoin or IOTA, I will definitely buy bitcoin with the  $10,000. I am not really into IOTA and will rather invest in other altcoins such as ETH, Neo, Omg and XMR.

I will buy BTC. because it always has a great influence. Its price is very easy to grow because whales and large businesses hold quite a bit of Bitcoin. I want to join with them to get a profit with them.

Well, for obvious reasons, The choice for me would be BTC any day, I have nothing against IOTA and It's doing great too IMO but, I wouldn't trust it to have a huge demand such as BTC have had and would still continue to have for years to come. Without a relatively high the value demand the value of any cryptocurrency would be as good as dead.

Just know when to make your entry and have a big nerve to wait as whales are playful they wanted to surprise the market and make a difference when they start buying or dumping their coins, each movements will bring impact but again believing with something that you assess well and wait till you see
the outcome and success will bring more money to your pocket.

If I have an option, I will clearly choose to buy bitcoin, its more clear and predictable.
IOTA is unpredictable, will be predictable if you see it close and deeply, but most people don nott have too many time to check it and look closer.

100% BTC. I don't know anything about IOTA. BTC can be traded for fiat or altcoins. I don't see the point of holding BTC.

Those men, who enter the market now, can become a winner soon. When you are sure you are ready to deal with the crypto, invest this money in several altcoins which are in the top-20.

I prefer IOTA rather than bitcoin. IOTA will definitely give you higher return in the long run and also have interesting partnerships so sooner or later, it will surprise you on giving unexpected return. If you do the math, IOTA offers higher chance of up to time 5 to 10 ROI once BTC reaches $20k. You can always trade IOTA over to bitcoin for long term holding. Way back 2017, these altcoins together with XLM, XRP, NEM and ADA leads the market so there coild be a chance that history will repeat it self.

Top 10 it is for me. That includes tron. Perhaps i'll equally divide that money among the top 10 coins. You wouldn't know which will make a run first so if one of those coins break away, i can be more flexible.

I don’t really know anything about IOTA and haven’t seen anyone I know making use of it, but I have seen a few people throw that word around in the forum and I never had interest in knowing what it is. So if I’m to choose one among these two then I’m going for Bitcoin, because it is the best and will always be the best at all times.

Of course BTC between those two options , but If i can add another option I would add TUSD , where I can shield myself against market violation , Even BTC is not that safe to save you from bearish market .

Me, too. As soon as all the altcoins depend on Bitcoin, it will be logical to invest your money in BTC. Naturally, I will not spend all 10 thousand for this crypto as soon as there are other cool altcoins, which can bring profit.

I love to think that it is always good to spread the assets and buy both. But if I have to choose it would be bitcoin. Ten thousand dollars is great amount of cash for me, I wouldn't have courage to invest in IOTA even with knowledge about how good and quality coin it is. Bitcoin have a history, and by my opinion have a future too. I would feel much more calm with it in my wallet.

Man, if you check statistics concerning these top-10 cryptocurrencies, you will see that during the last 4-6 months many altcoins used to change their places. I guess you can pay attention to top-100.

if I only compare IOTA with bitcoin head to head, of course I will choose bitcoin and many people will think the same as me. bitcoin is the top marketcaps, that means the user is the biggest, has a large community, etc. that is important in safely investment

BTC is stronger than IOTA so i prefer to make invest in to BTC for that money, and for IOTA the market cap is decreased alot and currently nothing good news about this project. But for day trading IOTA is good to choose because the price has potential to rally in bullish market, IOTA still good project because they development Internet of thing and blockchain technology.

Well, Bitcoin is the main and has been active for almost 10 years, so it is obviously the best choice to buy if we have to choose between two. But people in general would diversify with this amount of funds.

Why not half BTC and half IOTA？ Tough I prefer 8:2…

IOTA during bull, BTC during bear? I mean IOTA is not a bad one I agree but I never really owned a single one so I would prefer to go with Bitcoin.

Not because IOTA is bad, it is definitely decent and looking at marketcap it is certainly loved by many people but all in all I really don't know much about it. I mean what are they really doing to make a big difference in crypto world, they are basically internet of things so it is helpful for the people but is it really making enough big changes to support the price they are right now?

I would go with bitcoin because I know what it is and I know how much it worth and I know what it can do, I am knowledgeable about it, would rather go with the one I know and used instead of something I am still not really informed well about.

Honestly I won't pick half on both the cryptos mostly it will bitcoin like you said and remaining funds will goes to altcoins which includes many coins.

I would certainly pick BTC as a trader. I have tried investing in multiple top coins and came to a conclusion that investing in Bitcoin will certainly yield profits at any crisis market than expecting profits from any other coins. With $10k i would certainly buy Bitcoin and in addition, will add 3 ETH if i were to buy now. I trust in these coins.

The two shouldn’t have even been paired for comparison, I see it as an insult to BTC, even for day trading, IOTA has not been that a good coin for trading, I have IOTA in my Binance wallet and I have not seen any increase on the ones I am holding and the ones I chose to trade with is given me a lot of tension, they also usually have network issue because for like someday now, it’s been difficult for me to even withdraw from my Binance wallet, I kept getting network busy error.

The best to still invest in for now is BTC while some other projects I can still consider to invest such amount of money in now is BNB.

I will buy both coin by portfolio each 50% because in bull market both have potential to going up, and IOTA will performance the biggger gainer. IOTA has higher fluctuacion than BTC, and this project is really interesting because first project that use combination blockchain and IoT technology, and the project will give alot of benefits for many industry.

I would buy Bitcoin and other alt-coins don't limit yourself with a huge amount for investment.
You could buy so many crypto with that amount choose from the top list and also try some under valued crypto it might give you a good profit.

That is a very nice assumption. Suppose if you have to pay $10 to own a Bitcoin, the demand for the coins will mount within minutes and soon the supply will fade away as a result of which the price will again rise and so on so initially even if you are getting a coin at $10, after a minute, the price in the market would be more than $10k. This is instantaneous response of the market forces to the rise in demand.

I have voted to BTC.  And I think Most of the people choose btc. And I think Compare between Btc and Iota is really funny to me. You should compare IOTA with an Alt coin then people can change their mind to IOTA. 

right, too small choice. though btc is more preferable

This is a huge amount for me so I think its better for me to spend it on BTC and ETH, the top 2 most reliable coin for me. IOTA is good to hold also, but it will depend on the study that you have made with the coins that you want to buy. If you have an opportunity to hold this kind of money, make sure to spend it on the right coins.

Is that the only choice we have?  :) anyway, I'd rather choose bitcoin for sure. Since I do have $10,000 worth of capital then I would rather choose it definitely. The current price last month was $3000 so if given a chance and that history repeats itself  then I can buy 3 bitcoin with that amount. But this time, we have to be practical and we should divide our capital in different potential coins.

If I have the opportunity to buy a cryptocurrency for $10,000 and my only options are BTC and IOTA, I will go for BTC. Currently I buy BTC , I don’t even know anything about IOTA and I’ve never invested in it before. So if I’m given such an option I would go for what I know about and not what I know nothing about. And moreover I don’t think IOTA should be compared with BTC because BTC will always be the best option.

IOTA is not a coin to be compared with bitcoin and even we don't have a competitor yet for bitcoin with the thousands of cryptos available.

99% of the people who know what is bitcoin will pick it for now.

well, maybe i will choose bitcoin for that. even now I'm a little sorry to have a little bitcoin, and focus on ETH. maybe the price of bitcoin could be higher this year. owning $ 10k in the form of bitcoin today will be an extraordinary thing.

That's much better plan, $10k is a big capital, even though the allocation is 8:2. it's still too large capital for IOTA.
You can split you funds again into several altcoins, moreover there are still many potential altcoins right

There are many investments that you should consider investing now and if you want to be safe, just choose Bitcoin as the main investment. I think the market is changing more and venture capital is something you need to do now because the demand for investment in the market is growing very high this year so consider investing in altcoin if you want to earn get high profits

If I have $10 USD with me to invest into BTC/IOTA markets then I would prefer splitting my balance and try investing for long term as well as short term. I would choose BTC for long term investment whereas IOTA for short term to make some instant profits out of the graph.

There are indeed a lot more options to invest into the cryptocurrencies which may include ETH, Waves, etc which also has the potential to make higher volume markets ahead. Depending on the market growth, I would invest into some of these coins to hold for some interval adjusting the stop-loss each week. Investment in any coin can give us profit, but just we need to know when to buy.

Yes, I agree that most of the peoples would choose bitcoins as they might have already heard a lot about bitcoins and might have seen some practical examples who invested into bitcoins in the late 2009 to 2014. But IOTA is also a strong coin which is not yet comparable with bitcoins seeing and comparing their both's volume, market cap, etc.

Even there is no such coin which could beat bitcoins at least for now. Maybe in next few years, there will be hundreds of coins crossing $10,000 so we can't know the future but we are sure about the present. Those who know the benefits and markets of IOTA, would buy those and rest may go for bitcoins with the investment in pocket.

I would apportion the capital among the top coins to be honest. This makes perfect sense to speculate in Bitcoin and ETH for example if the market value is rising. I would spend a big part of the capital in Bitcoin for sure because the pace at which the coin is gaining value in incredible and this is what every investor would love to see his assets behaving. There could be great profit.

What kind of question is that? Of course the majority would go for btc since it is more trustworthy than the other one. But anyway, each one of us got their own preference and own reasons why they will pick a certain coin and I respect that ;D.

However, preference is not the main criteria of picking a coin so you should be very careful because we are all talking about money here. My advise is to stick with btc or eth only if you are a small investor (the ones who just go for hodling) because you can't handle the pressure of unstable market for sure so to keep safe you must buy the most stable coins in the market. If you are daytrader then I don't see any problem on the coin which you will pick assuming that it wasn't a shitcoin; picking IOTA? That's not a problem knowing the fact that it is the Rank 17 coin based on CMC.

First of all, I would think, if it is really necessary to invest all the sum in the cryptocurrency. probably, the smallest business will bring higher returns than the profit from holding cryptocurrencies.

No idea what you mean by that and what you are trying to point out by small businesses. In fact the small ICOs if you are referring to those have all gone down with their bigger counterparts as soon as the bear market hit. They are no exception to the bleeding out effect of bitcoin.

So the best thing to put your money in would be bitcoin at this moment. Any other shitcoin out there is going to be a waste of time and money. Although you may have some alts being held and not having any worthy price to sell at. All you can do is wait and watch for those. You cannot change those mistaken decisions but you are definitely prevent future ones.

It all depends on your risk tolerance.  I like to gamble on lower tier coins every now and then but I only use a small amount of money.  looking back at the historical charts you an see how fast some of these coins can move.  They can go 100x in a few days which is pretty crazy.

I agree with you man, its all about how much risk can someone handle. With $10k I would buy some bitcoins, I wouldnt miss opportunity to buy iota too (thats from op choices, btc or iota), and some other good coins too. When you look it from other side it would be more risky to invest in just one coin, in some way you are lowering the risk if you invest in more than one coin.
I`m sure that I would diversify, I would split that $10k on more places, on more coins, probably between 3-10 nice investments, in some more in some less.

Well if you have a big amount like $10k then instead of putting it all in one basket why not split it between whatever options you have got.
What matter is the split percentage. I would split it into 4:1 ratio where 4 would obviously be for BTC.
Bitcoin should always be the first preference if the amount you are gonna invest is greater than $1000.

When I hear cryptocurrency, Bitcoin comes to my mind first before I think about all others. It is therefore automatic that I will invest in bitcoin before any other altcoin. Even though I believe in diversifying my investments, bitcoin is always of higher priority,

BTC is always my first choice whenever I'm buying cryptocurrency, so for sure I'm going to for cryptocurrency first. Judging from the current price of bitcoin, I will buy 1 btc and then use the remaining money out of the $10,000 to invest in IOTA, but not really all of them will be going into IOTA, I will just use part of the remaining money to buy IOTA and other good altcoins like ethereum, neo, xrp and xmr.

Lower tier coins in this market are a great opportunity for you to make a profit but the risk will be huge if you don't have a clear appreciation of that coin. I think this market always has a lot of surprises and it can easily make us get rich very quickly in just one day but can also take away all your assets in just a few hours so if If you choose the right time to invest then good for you. Everyone wants to earn a profit of 1000% in this market but to do that, you need to have the right consideration and make many suitable choices for your portfolio.

i will prefer BTC here for long run holding.IOTA is good to but btc is first ever created crypto so i will go with btc.

bitcoin is always more advanced than other coins. so, it's common for bitcoin to be owned in a very large number for crypto users. $ 10k is a lot, investing in one thing will certainly be risky. so, I feel that having 5 coins, among the 10 best coins in the coinmarket, will be a pretty good savings for the future.

In this case, I will choose bitcoin for now, as it can be easily used in various fields as a payment system and has many more users, while it is a more reliable investment with a large capitalization

Same here man. This is purely because Bitcoin is leading the market and is equally profitable for the investors provided the initial cost of investment is down but this is just a simple strategy and not a rule. So yeah, a capital as big as this one would be great in enabling you make some good money in crypto if you speculate in the best coin available out there in the market which I think is Bitcoin, ETH and Binance Coin.

I like your opinion on this. If I have $10,000, I will still choose risky investments because it will bring very high profits and if that coin grows well, making a profit of more than 300% is entirely possible. There are many altcoin that you can choose right now because its value is very cheap and will definitely increase in price if Bitcoin can reach $10,000 this year.

Look into the factors that are taken into consideration or account before an investor makes investment in an asset. Market cap is of course one of them. Others being stability, profitability and lowered risk. If the former three are positive, the later and the last would not bother too much. It is like this market that is so favorable for investment and you could use your big capital to speculate in the best coins to make more money.

For the quick ROI, I might go with iota. With that 10,000 , I would get thousands of unit and that means a little increase in price, I would have so much difference in profit. For the short term, Iota can give me some profit but holding in a long term, I will invest in bitcoin.

I doubt if anyone will really choose IOTA over Bitcoin if they are left with option of choosing out of the 2 alone, the mistake OP made was not to even compare it with a more competitive coin, IOTA is good project and also strong, but will not stand the system BTC has created that even ethereum is yet to contest with.

People like me will strictly dump my fiat and go for BITCOIN, there is nothing more peaceful than to put ones investment into a coin that is the most reliable coin in the cryptocurrency space and a coin that the volatility really makes people earn more profit than any other coin that is available, in the general market.

I know it is good to hold bitcoin because in bitcoin we will not be worry about falling price trend and when the price will be low we can hold it and wait for the right time to make profit out of it, 10k is not so much for crypto currency specially the bitcoin because I have seen even an imposable price increase in history.

$10k is not a heavy amount for investing in the crypto depending on the wealth and risk tolerance of the investor. Even healthy businesses aim for 10% per year and this symbol is not even representing the net profit. Think about that, investing in the dominant cryptocurrency can give better returns on the investment after 5 years.

I never think about another coin while BTC is option. BTC has first ever decentralized cryptocurrency and after that, all the coins came in the market. And because of this thing, BTC has a massive effect on other coins and it will be manipulated to other coins. If the price of BTC has started gaining then the market will appear green and when BTC started losing its price that time all the market become red. So things kind of massive effect has BTC on other coins.

So always choose BTC over any coin. It has high potential in its growth. If you make your mind right now to making an investment in it then you will definitely make a huge amount of profit in the upcoming period of time.

I don’t think there is any little increase in the value of IOTA that will still give you as much as the increase in bitcoin will give. Look at recently that bitcoin increases from $5000 to $6200 dollars now, it means if you had invested when it was $5000 and buy 2 coins, this few days would have yielded about $2400 extra for you, which is like 24% increase within a month, I doubt if IOTA can give you more than 8% increase.

And if you rely on bull run, have you forgotten that they all depend on bitcoin to run too, and anything that makes IOTA gives you 100% increase on your investments, bitcoin would have given n you over 250% increase.

Bitcoin is a reliable coin for the investment and which has the ability to grow more in the future. So I would love to go with Bitcoin, it is far better than iota. Now many big countries have legalized the bitcoin. As well many big corporations, restaurants, shops and many places where bitcoin has been using for the mode of payment method.

And as per the time passes the people will make the best possible uses of it. Now many countries have come with Bitcoin ATM and this move attracts many users towards it. This what Bitcoin became at the moment. According to me, everyone can see the bright future Bitcoin and that why people have been doing investment in it.

I prefer buying btc compared to other coins, because btc is guaranteed the most potential number 1 coin in cryptocurrency, and currently many investors are happy because of the high increase in bitcoin.

I never had the confidence in intense bitcoin like you because sometimes the profits that other altcoin can bring, it is still very big and better than bitcoin but in this case, between IOTA and bitcoin, bitcoin will always be the most suitable option because IOTA has had a bad time, the value has been seriously reduced, the chance to return is possible but we will need to wait a long time. While bitcoin still maintains its strength, it can sometimes become very weak but it always returns to the right time, with such capital, taking advantage of frequent fluctuations from bitcoin, the profit we can get is very high and there is little waste of time waiting

Indeed, bitcoin is the most and top popular coin since. When you invest at a desired amount price is gradually increasing. This is the moist choice by anyone than other crypto that until now bitcoin is profitable.

Buying bitcoin is a must thing that we should do.
But besides buy bitcoin, we can also buy altcoin to help us to make more bitcoin.
And with $10k, if we can buy bitcoin at $4k, you can make more than $3k right now, so you are making a huge profit from 1 bitcoin.
Imagine if you can buy at least 2 bitcoin, you will bigger profit ;D
There are many profitable coins you can buy at the market because each coin will adjust their price to the higher price so you can add more bitcoin as your profit.

If ever I have that amount of course I will go with my full of confidence on Bitcoin, this was the Father of digital currency and from the very starts it became the highest amount price in the market for almost 1 decades pal. And also I'm not quite familiar with IOTA just like what everybody said here too.

Bitcoin eclipsing all the altcoins price right now.

Its the safe bet always

Maybe if OP already bought bitcoin since this thread started on November 2018, he might be already take a profit because bitcoin actually is a good choice to do long term investment. If the option only Bitcoin or IOTA of course a lot of people pick bitcoin.

Iota is good though but bitcoin is way better specially for that big amount holding bitcoin would give you so much fortune with that money,or you try and just split your funds if youre a supporter of those 2 coins,

I do not think that you will risk with 10 thousand. It will be not wise at least. Investing this sum, it is better to choose the most trusted variant. Buy Bitcoin as soon as you will never lose here finally.

Bitcoin is still the top priority of all investors in this market. I think investing in Bitcoin will make it easier to control your profits and you can easily make a profit if you know how to trade in this discount market. In the last few days Bitcoin is on the rise and this is a very good time for you to invest more because the $10,000 investment is still too small and if you have the conditions, then use your savings to buy more Bitcoin

Honestly  I never liked other coins and think they can't compare with Bitcoin. There are only few coins that are worth investing like Ethereum for example but they will still not achieve such success as Bitcoin did.
So, Bitcoin is still the best coin for investment and if you want to diversify your investment beside Bitcoin choose something else, like gold or put your money on stock exchange.

It's not easy to pick which crypto coins is perfect as most of them are relying still with Bitcoin, if you can see the cycle for such amount of money I'll go with Bitcoin for long term involvement inside this market, keeping it from your wallet and wait till strong bull to reverse everything.

everyone thoughts are going to invest in very low price situation because the profit is important for every investment when we invested for a bigger amount then if it was going to a lower price then we cannot get our investment also that's why investing for low amount is very good for me.

BTC should even be the only focus of most investors for investment while other altcoins should only serve the purpose for which they were created in which majority of them should be utility tokens.The funny thing to me is that these altcoins still have to totally wait for bitcoin to increase before they can increase.

For some days now, many people has been complaining why other altcoins has not been rising, because they seems to remain in red zone, just this little push we saw from bitcoin, see the way all of them are swimming in green market, I still need someone to please break down the logic behind this, is it nit bitcoin people are investing in, why are altcoins rising up to follow bitcoin?

I do not think things will stay the same way forever. Sooner or latter, we will get the value drop again but regardless of the value drops, the market for Bitcoin will experience a boom after every recession so yeah, it is a better option to have some Bitcoin in your wallet and HODL them until you make the maximum money with it. But you need to have high patience level as well.

bitcoin could growth till all time high because its volatility.bullish and bearish was they ways to bitcoin to increase the demand on market.if we have no cheap price how could we attract new investors come to cryptocurrency market.

If I'll have to choose only one, I'll go for BTC. It's still safer to be on the king's side. Anyway, almost trades in altcoins centers in BTC so it's more practical. But here's my point, why choose when you can have both. Invest one-fourth portion in IOTA and therest in BTC. that way, you earn in IOTA and BTC when the market goes lively.

Or buy Bitcoin and buy alts in steps to test the waters and spread the risk on that part. I hope for the op he went for btc with these rises.

Although IOTA was able to become the top 15 in coinmarketcap to date, I think IOTA is only an altcoin which of course can be a choice of recommendations to be used as an alternative investment. Another with Bitcoin that has been trusted by everyone is able to become the best cryptocurrency that can provide benefits to its holders

I would never buy IOTA, it sounds like a coin that will go nowhere, I think the most important coin to buy are bitcoins, get one or two before you buy any other cryptos, and stay above 80% into bitcoins.
If I got $10.000 in fiat today, I would go all in on bitcoins.

I always trying to invest in Bitcoin only because it will be the profitable investment for every time and I can do it because of the development only for my future and it performing well also right now.

Both options are good, but more reliable in terms of profit of course bitcoin, as it is beginning to be used by many companies, services as a payment system, and IOTA has much to do for its development

As at the time the op asked this question, if he had just gone for Bitcoin straight,  am sure by now, he will be slapping IOTA off the market, what kind of comparison do we even call that. In my quest to know why the price of bitcoin has been surging recently, I was made to simply understand that tether was delisted and virtually all tether holders started changing their coins to Bitcoin, and few altcoins.

I looked at IOTA, I didn’t see much move as much as other altcoins even increased, and most investors still chose Bitcoin as priority for them to convert their USDT to. So bitcoin will always be the choice of anyone as you said.

I would definitely buy BTC if I had to buy Cryptocurrency for today's 10.000USD. I chose Bitcoin because Bitcoin was the most valuable and influential Cryptocurrency of this period. Bitcoin's acceptability is in all cases before all other cryptocurrencies. I want to buy bitcoin because the demand is high, the acceptability is high, the dominant cryptocurrency and its price increase. Considering all aspects, I will choose Bitcoin.

The beauty of the cryptocurrency is that not only the status co but almost everyone around the world right now can make use of it. You have access to internet and you have the knowledge about what to do with crypto to make money with, you are likely to make it to the top. Unlike the real estate business, which was kind of suited for the rich, anyone out there can invest in crypto.

I will also choose Bitcoin to avoid unnecessary risks in this market because Bitcoin affects all altcoin and this coin can determine the future of this market. I think the long-term investment will never be late because recently a lot of bitcoin related news and certainly in the next 2 years, value of Bitcoin will soon reach $38,000 so decide to invest based on your ability.

That advise will be best if one is sure of the project we are choosing as alternative to bitcoin, because what is the need to diversify into a coin that has future and would not give anything useful after the long wait, I am not saying IOTA is a bad project, with the little I have ready about, I think they are still fair, but I just don’t feel like having any investment in it.

I just feel like we should only make bitcoin our focus for now, since they all still have to wait for BTC to increase before they can increase as we can see from the market now, most top altcoins are all increasing only when bitcoin value increases too.

Probably I'll buy bitcoin. Since it is the top 1 on cmc . Besids it was more acceptable and popular to most of merchants that accepts cryptocurreny.

This is one of the most stupid threads I've ever read.

Why would you compare these 2 coins :D. It doesn't even close to each other. Bitcoin and IOTA?? Are you serious. For sure many will choose Bitcoin over IOTA because it is more trustworthy compare to the other. I'd choose Bitcoin too because I'm holding for the long run. I'm not saying that I'm not buying IOTA but I don't hold any IOTA's at this moment.

Well better be quick with it otherwise you will loose an opportunity to own a whole Bitcoin with that amount of money by which I mean that the price of Bitcoin is rising exponentially and where it was less than $7000 few days ago, it has crossed $8000 few hours ago. That being said, it is suggested to be the next speculator and make money in this thing.

if I have that much money at the moment I will buy as much bitcoin as possible, the bull run immediately comes to imagine how much profit you can hold until the bull run occurs

Definitely bitcoin. Although, I want to note that my choice is such only now. If, at the time of purchase, my analysis would have shown that by purchasing IOTA I could potentially earn quickly and a lot, then my choice would be made in favor of IOTA.
You must understand that nobody cannot say something for sure on the crypto market. Having made a certain choice, after 6 hours you can greatly regret it. So you always need to be careful and be well versed with what to buy and sell.

I did not choose Bitcoin because this is Crypto, which has a huge fluctuation. I am worried about its long-term future. IOTA with great platform with technologies and future development projects will help its price increase. IOTA will be a great option to hold on to the future of all of us.

Both coins are in comparable, let’s put all the factors together, IOTA is a baby to bitcoin, and the investors in bitcoin are far stronger than IOTA, If it take IOTA community 10 years to become millionaire in USD, it will take bitcoin just 1 year.

Bitcoin is still the most recognized crypto in this industry and majority of these coins all relies on bitcoin to perform, some of them even depend on the system of bitcoin.
Ethereum was created as the second coin in the market and until now no coin has ever been able to overthrown ethereum no matter the solution they present, their reputation and name alone will not give way, not to talk of their technology.

between bitcoin and IOTA, of course I prefer bitcoin. in fact, for now I want to exchange the assets that I have in the form of bitcoin. seeing the potential of bitcoin this month, made me so eager to collect it. I might choose Bitcoin and ETH.

If i really had that amount, then I would really be cautious enough to choose the coin where to invest.
I mean 10 USD is a small amount but still money is money.
So the real question is where i should invest? I would say that i will invest in BTC only.
The reason is clear and straight,  as BTC is stable compare to rest of the coins. So if  the price went down then it would not be a huge loss.
Hope you get your answer now.

Bitcoin would be the best option for anyone right now seeing the surges in its market values. But I would rather invest some $10k when the market value is the lowest. The reason behind it is purely making use of the down cost scenario and that is the best an investor can do to get maximum profits. Anyways, speculating in ETH and Bitcoin with $10k would not be a bad move.

If I choosing between IOTA and bitcoin of course bitcoin I pick because I don't think IOTA is potential anymore. Because everyone knows the bitcoin is really potential. I hope everyone will bought bitcoin since OP started this topic in 2018 and the price is low or below $4000 I think so if you purchased bitcoin the capital or the investment that you putted into the bitcoin will turn as times 2..

Of course, investing at bottom is still the best way to get the most profitable investment but the challenges is the volatility of the market which makes it impossible for everyone to buy at bottom, so even if the price is rising, the only opportunity that one should be looking for is the dip time, with dip time, anyone that knows how to trade will still be able to make money with a capital as high as $10k.

Yesterday that the price of bitcoin deepened to about $7000, imagine an investors invests the $10k then and price bounces to $9k, as he not made profit of over $2.5k? Imagine he was busy waiting for bottom again, would he not have already missed out of the train?

And maybe OP is trying to talk about 10,000 USD but put in a dot instead of comma between 10 and the last three zeros which would make you a bit more curious as how to take care of this much capital and to get it apportioned among many coins and go for it. But a wise selection could really lead one to a good return from the investment and when the market is favorable too, it is worth putting in $10k.

I am sure he is talking about 10k and not 10, its a common notation to use the dot instead of using a comma.

People know that putting all your eggs in one basket is not good. Similarly the only crypto one needs to invest in is bitcoin. Rest are all trash. Next thing they should invest in is stocks and commodities because they play a reciprocal role with crypto. Hedging is an important thing to do even if people dont do it much.

I still choosing the bitcoin even the iota is good because for bitcoin is more benifits and it's proven to me to use it. We all know that if there's no bitcoin what will happen to altcoins? I'm just prefer to choose bitcoin than to other coins.

Well, bitcoin is the best crypto and considering the current market it would be the best choice. On the other hand, i really don't have much idea about Iota.

I am a safe investor and I will definitely choose BTC. I realize that the crypto market is a black market and there are many risks there. If we are not alert in trading, we easily lose a lot of money.
I am currently losing more than 80% of my account when investing in WPP. It is a promising altcoin but the market does not support.
I made a big mistake and hope you will have experience in trading.

Bitcoin is always an option in crypto investment. but, I might share the money for 4 crypto, bitcoin, eth, xrp, and bch. well, the coin is a very good coin, and stable enough to be stored in the long run. besides, bch coins are also good for short-term investments.

Bitcoin isn't an option, it is the best to invest among the entire cryptocurrency. As mentioned all that provided is good asset to make an investment, except xrp. Apart from these I believe to make investing on IEO and ICO. Along with the same I prefer to segregate assets for long term and short term investments.

I will not choose both. I am more interested in the new tokens listed on exchanges. It looks quite potential and my money can increase many times if I invest at the right time.
I think WPP, PDATA and BEAXY are one of the most promising tokens in 2019 and 2020. Risk investments will bring us wealth. Everyone should learn about these tokens.

BCH is a very promising coins, but you need to remember that it was weakened a lot after BSV forked out. And today, BCH has gone down by 3% after BSV almost doubled its exchange rate. The exchange rates for BTC-BCH-BSV are showing a strong correlation. The decline of one of them is good news for the others and similarly if one of them goes up, then the other two will suffer.

I would go for coins with a great prospect of growth and they are Bitcoin, ETH and Binance Coin. They are the killer coins and can really give back great returns. Especially the accelerated pace at which they are gaining value is impressive and I am sure there could be a more than 4X return or gain if you HODL till the market reach to the apex.

If there are only two to choose which of the BTC or IOTA I would choose BTC. Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency and has solid supporters and community already in the market. It is by far the most reliable for me to invest because without bitcoin, the market could go weak for now. I have nothing to say against IOTA because I have not tried it before or even its development. But if you are sure you can have solid belief that it will make you good return in the future then you have the option to invest in both coins with your $10k investment.

IOTA is another bullshit propaganda promoted shitcoin that has no future and is nothing but a kool-aid crew pumping it for selling away at a higher price. Go buy it just to lose your own money in the hands of these crooks. Developers themselves are always trying to cash out the market when they know they are creating something that has no future. Its all the hype that drives these shitcoins. But you are free to follow them.

You dont even need to have any idea of any other coin than bitcoin.

Nice suggestion it is good to buy bitcoin because it is good at price now a day we can afford it at this price, later on it will be more than this so better buy it now and have profit, there are so many traders who have bought bitcoins and become  professional traders, I am one of those who had great experience with bitcoin investment now gonna trey trading.
