This thread seems split between a reliable investment in BTC with lower return, or a high risk investment in altcoins.
I suggest reading up on CombiCoin, now in ICO.
For every 10 dollars you invest, you get 1 CombiCoin, as well as 1 TRIA token.
Each CombiCoin represents 1/30th of the top 30 cryptocurrencies. The team have run a lot of simulations, and this turned out to be the ideal ratio: in the first half of this year for example, BTC grew 194%, whereas the top 30 grew 1198%. They will do bi-monthly rebalancing to keep alts from becoming dominant within CombiCoin, and to be able to introduce successful newcomers.
This means that as long as the crypto market as a whole grows (which it has done, exponentially, for a long time now), the CombiCoins grow in proportion. You pay zero commission over this growth and get to keep all of the profit you make by selling.
This is where the TRIA tokens come in. Specially designed software, which has been successfully applied in the energy sector, will keep track of all buying and selling orders of CombiCoins on as many exchanges as possible. Whenever these can be traded at a favorable rate, the smart software executes an order and generates profit. This profit is divided 50/50 between Triaconta - this is their business model - and the other half goes to the TRIA token holders. In other words, the token holders are basically guaranteed a steady income, as long as CombiCoins are being traded (which, in a growing crypto market with the coins rising in value, they will be).
I've invested €1500, here's why:
- With all recent China related FUD, I think a lot of demand has risen for more stable (and no less considerable) profit. The market consists of more than moonkids and speculators, there’s a big (partly untapped) market of people simply looking for better returns than current savings rates;
- I find it hard to figure out which crypto's to hedge my bets on. There's a couple of relatively stable big ones, but with low profits, and a lot of promising newcomers, many of which turn out to be one day flies (a little too often for my taste). I do, however, have great faith in the rise of cryptocurrencies in general - in the crypto market as a whole. I firmly believe this market will grow substantially in 2018 (and the CombiCoins in proportion to it);
- Then there's the added revenue from the TRIA tokens. You get these basically as a bonus during the ICO, and there's no telling how much each token will generate over a lifetime;
- I'm very impressed with the team, not just their qualifications but also their transparency and professionalism. They answer all questions on this forum and in their telegram quickly and thoroughly. I've asked many questions myself, but haven't been able to find a single unconsidered circumstance or any fatal flaw. They seem to have thought of everything. The software they will implement has been tried and tested, and they know how to convey confidence in their product. Only thing is that, where other (less promising) coins like Paragon are all in your face, Triaconta keeps it pretty low key and rather focuses on quality. This means it's partly up to the community to get the word out, but personally I'm happy to contribute.
I'd say do your own research, their whitepaper explains things very clearly.
https://triaconta.com/Well said sir! I have decided to invest in Triaconta/Combi for the same reasons, $1000 USD will get you 100 TRIA Tokens, expected monthly return per TRIA token is estimated between $0.05 USD (worst case prognosis) to $0.11 USD (best case prognosis) , so ~ $5 to $11 USD a month (for 100 TRIA tokens). Not a huge amount but I consider it a small bonus on top of the expectant growing price of CombiCoin and TRIA tokens themselves.
More detailed info from the whitepaper:
Appendix E. Profit Share prognosis
The following prognosis reflects our expectation of the near-term performance of the company. Triaconta strives
to be prudent in their forecasts.
The amount of profit the automatic trading software can generate is de
pended on the following things:
1. The daily volume of CombiCoin on the various exchanges
2. The daily volume the automatic trading software will do
3. Total amount of CombiCoin in circulation
The daily volume of CombiCoin on the various exchanges
From January 1, 2017, until July 29, 2017, the average volume of the top 30 cryptocurrencies traded per 24h is
3% of its total supply, meaning about 90% of the total supply of a given currency is traded in one month. The
expectancies are that this will be no different for CombiCoin. This means that Triaconta expects that 90% of the
total supply of CombiCoin will be traded on a monthly basis.
The daily volume the automatic trading software can do
Expectancies are that the software will be able to do between 20% to 50% of the available CombiCoin trades on
the various exchanges.
Total amount of CombiCoin in circulation
The initial circulation of CombiCoin will be determined by the amount raised during this ICO. The more
CombiCoins in circulation the more trade there will be on the various exchanges and therefore more possibilities
for the automatic trading software to either buy or sell CombiCoins.
The Profit share prognosis is based on the following expectations:
• 90% of CombiCoin is traded monthly
• In the worst case scenario the software is able to conduct 20% of all CombiCoin transactions
• In the best case scenario the software is able to conduct 50% of all CombiCoin transactions
• 5% margin per trade
