Which crypto-currency for investment/trading?

[Mareksh]

Hello,

I'm completely new to the market, had some BTC years ago but sadly sold it way too early.
Now I want to start again with investing / trading of bitcoin and/or altcoins.
The cryptocurrency market is huge now, there are so many coins I never heard of.

Can you help me clearing things up? What coins are good for investment / trading at the moment?

I want to buy some for long time investment but also for short time trading.

Thanks,
Mareksh

zcash and etheruem for longterm and monero too, i also like spreadcoin, ark, atom and stratis, there is pivx that was pumped not long time ago but it's just a clone of dash it's up to you if you find this good enough to invest or not, atom and pivx are both pure pos stratis also but it's different like ETH, the other are minable

only buy bitcoin for long term and dump altcoins as soon as they are pumped to get more bitcoin to add to your cold storage stash.
this is the key to success.

right now, LTC is on the way up and you can get it mid way to the moon.
there are also some newer coins that are performing very well. like PIVX and ARK, these recently have received a lot of attention and the rise is pretty good.

Monero is stable enough to consider as a good investment but zcash and ethereum are terrible pumps which are now in a bubble.

Today the best altcoin to buy is BTM Because it's Price got down slow from the beginning of this week , so I will suggest you to buy few BTC and sell at 40-50k Satoshi ,but be careful and make your eye attention Everytime at the price ( short time Investment) coin is available at Poloniex and Nova .
If you want to invest in long time then I will suggest you to buy posw coin ( available at yobit , cryptopia also at other)  this altcoin is growing speedly but now from 2 days it comes at constant rate of 1600satoshi , so buy and transfer it at poswallet .
In the posw wallet you can earn more even if the price not increase ( through Mining that is automatic , you didn't need to do anything after transfer your posw coin at poswallet ) .

welcome Mareksh

i think there is a lot of good choice for trade and long term investment
my suggestion for you,, do your own research about cryptocurrency especially for the 10 or 20 higher volume on the markets
it will make you become familiar with cryptocurrency - then you can trade or make investments with your own decision..

RLC token is a good choice for you, try to visit his announcement page to get more information regarding the successful project which collect 12 million just in 6 hours. I will say if that has solid development.
But I can also be used for the short term trade. and with a lot of demand the volatility is really high comparing with another coin. It is best coin in my mind.

[Mareksh]

Thank you all for the answers.

I just transfered 350 EUR to my Kraken-account. Also I created accounts @ Bittrex, Cryptopia, C-Cex, Lykke Exchange and Poloniex.

It's only 350 because it doesn't hurt me when I lost some of it, also I feel better when using a small amount for first time trading.

Now how to proceed further? Which software is recommended?

I would like to create a portfolio with 2-3 cryptos for long-mid time investment and 2-3 for short trades.

For long-mid term I have BTC - ETH - LTC - XMR  --- which one would you prefer?
For short term trading I'm not sure, but maybe NXS, LYKKE, WAVES, PIVX, DASH, STRATIS, FTC, TORCOIN

I would be thankful if you can give me some advice which would fit the best for now.

Thanks in advance,
Mareksh

I highly disagree. I have a friend who bought ETH very early on, like really really early. Right now he has about 30 btc worth of ETH and considering if didn’t and just BTC he would have 2-3 bitcoin right now his investment paid of a whole lot. I disagree that bitcoin is the only coin and altcoins should be only for trading and getting more bitcoins.

I would recommend taking a look at a few ICOs, not sure if that counts as an altcoin for you but yeah.
Orthogonal is an investment company that focuses their attention and resources on companies that almost promise financial return.

GrapheneTech is the first cryptocurrency based on a revolutionary material; Graphene.

For short investments I buy IOTA, IPSX. For long investments, ADA, IOTA, NEO, Litecoin are suitable. These are reliable coins from the TOP 20, behind them is a professional team, a reliable project. And of course, to diversify the portfolio, 30% of your assets should be in BTC and Eth.

[ragavancoin]

My best suggestion to you for inviting into cryptocurrencies, you can invest any top ten coins at present market situation with more than two or three coins do not invest in single coin and wait for within this year end sure you get some good return for your investment.

[Aion2n]

First of all, I recommend buying ether and bitcoin for a long term. These are excellent coins, leaders in the market. And even when the price drops sharply, then after a while the price recovers and grows. So while this is the best coin.
You can also consider XMR, LTC, BNB, ADA, IOTA they are good coins and for a long time and for daily trading.

[vicko27]

Eth,Btc and Ripple are great for long-term investments, and I'm sure the price will increase steadily every year

[smic]

You always have to choose the main chains. ETH, NEO, ICX, Vechain can be Zcash or Wanchain.

[jvdp]

This may rewrite it better as holding and trading.


For holding you can go with the coins which is betterment and save your life for long time. This is what I take hodl word as perfect one.

1: Bitcoin(always in the market)
2: Ethereum
3: Monero
4: Zcash


For trading purposes you may go with the short term profitable coins and that too cheap price coins means you will get the high price.

1: NEM
2: TRX
3: XLM
4: EOS
5: ETC

[SalmanMJ9]

I don't know what cryptocurrency suits your strategy but I am taking about mine. I divide my portfolio into

Tier 1: such as NEO/ETH/BTC

Tier 2: such as HPB/GoChain

Low cap:such as Lamden/Effect.ai

Potential masternodes: Essentia/Apex/TomoChain

ICOs: 20% of my portfolio to invest in ICOs

[ajqjjj]

The current market is still unpredictable so if you looking for investment Bitcoin, Ethereum, NEO and EOS is the good moving Cryptocurrencies for future so these are perfectly satisfy your needs but trading side hard to choose because N number of coins are available in the market so you decide your own you will get good profitable platform.

[anjiitem]

this is a very good suggestion. if you are a beginner in trading, choose the top ten coin for your means of trading. wait until the end of the year and surely you will get a profit

[passwordnow]

For long time/term investment = Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.

But if you want to start day trading = USDT, Dogecoin, ETH (too).

[pranazzs]

For long-mid term I have BTC - ETH - LTC - XMR  --- which one would you prefer?

Just a suggestion, for mid term.
You should trade any coin with BTC Pair.
and for the long term 4 coins is very good because it is in the top 10 Coinmarketcap position.
