Invest in Bitcoin, put them in cold storage and forget it for few years !

Cloud Mining is a nono, its risky

I would rather go POS if i wanted to do cloud mining which i pay for hashrate

Trading is really good if you have time to read through forums, analyse the trend

We all know the "all eggs in one basket" story, but there are a lot more things to consider. There are moments in which you should be "brave" and listen to your guts. I hardly like any concept of a coin/token/whatever, because most of them lack the most important thing - usage (i.e. people). BAT is on a whole different level (though I hate the way they raised funds). Just imagine how many of you are using... browsers? And at the time of my first reply here the price was 4050 satoshi, now BAT is at 4370. I gave my "investment advise", because I'm following the market very closely and BAT currently is a 99.99% sure "investment". My best guess is that you can make 20-50% profit over the next few days (it already gained ~10% in 2 hours), not to mention what might happen in a few months/years.

How does this even make sense?

So first - BAT was an ICO that raised 30 million in the first hour.  I tend to agree it's one of the only legit ICOs.  BUT

1.)  It's valued at 110 million which means original ICO purchases are already 4X in the green.

2.)  THIS is it's price chart.

3.)  It has gone down 10% today (maybe you are seeing upside down or something?)

Best option for me is Crypto Trading but for now at least wait for the 1st August and let the bloodbath finish which is going on from last few weeks and after the segwit then you can go on with crypto trading you can earn good amount of profit from trading but you need to learn it first properly if you play with your luck than more chances are of loss better to learn first than do good in trading and one more advice from me is that only trade with good coins which have good future and good development team and also a road map which will show how these coins will grow and only invest in those coins. Don't invest in Crap Coins.

Legit ICOs? I heard it was over in 5 monutes and is mainly owned by corporate whales.

Stick with your own mining setul and stay far away from cloud mining.  That shouldn't even be an option.

My own advice would be to invest in bitcoin and not these scammy icos, with which you're apt to lose money.  Frankly the crypto market is a bit overheated right now and it might be best to wait to invest that kind of money.

[api]

You can try to play on stock exchanges, but the Crypto currency is monopolized and regulated by the manipulator market, that there is 80% of what you lose your savings.
It is better to try to enter the waves as cheap as possible in bitkoyn and postpone it for a while, it will necessarily soar several times.

I think it's currently about 2.5 times over the ICO price, but this doesn't mean anything.

EDIT: And I think they raised $36 Million... in 20-30 seconds...

Some combination of bitcoin, litecoin, monero and ethereum. They are all legit and have their place in the cosmos. They all also have serious developer teams and strong communities.

I will go ALL IN in BAT if I was you. And I'm not joking...

Man maan you are totally wrong. I am actually using brawe browser and there is thausand of issues. Bat have a great team but they dont fix it. I also have some bats but i am already %60 down and its no sure when i will be back on my profit at the begining. And the most important one i am reading the comments about get paid by watching ads, guess what nobody gives a fck on it!!! I am going to sell all my bats as soon as the price go little bit higher and already not using brave anymore and i am getting to delete it for ever so please be carefull when u say %99.9 about sth on crypto world. Have a nice day.

Am I? That's the main problem with people nowadays - you "can't easily have them". If now some guy like John Atanasoff comes to you with a basketball court sized machine and tells you: "This is a Time machine", you won't believe him, until it is shaped as a laptop, or an IPhone with a shiny bitten apple on the back.  I asked one simple question:

Just imagine how many of you are using... browsers?

Some may say IE is shitty, others Chrome, Mozilla, Tor etc... you'll hear millions of opinions, but guess what? It really doesn't matter what they say, because all of them have its huge market niche. How about the ads market?

We Bulgarians like to say that there's no need to invent the hot water. All you need is to work for you (whatever you're trying to start). And if you don't see the potential here, well... nothing I can do about it.

P.S. I can agree with these 99.9% I mentioned, but that's probably because I hardly see BAT to fail any further. Their main problem is... Ethereum. I am sure that they will reach a lot of their goals, so yes, it may not work as they are planning, but they have a potential... a big one. And isn't all because of this after all? Potential? I'm sorry that this is not the ICO, which made a 15000% ROI in 2 weeks, but the way I see it is a bit different.

Cheers!

split your fund with several kind of coins and don't ever putting your money only for one basket to avoid huge loss if you're had wrong step however i suggest 50% for bitcoin and 50% for altcoins or if you have good knowledge for trading and had good results during your trading activities maybe you can spend 50% from total of your funds for trading capital

I'd like how you to turn look the profit by compare in time.
i would like take your advise and put it them all.

If you don't want to do all the work on finding trading opportunities or mining why not invest in a fund that does the work for you? For example iconomi or taas or there is DDF with an ICO coming up on Monday.

I'll tell you what I did with 7000€ Approx. 3 BTC worse of cryptos (I started knowing/investing in BTC and others in october 2016 with 700€. I had x10 my stack in june 14th 2017 and I could have done better)  

As you said. Not all your eggs in the same basket. I think this too and I have already other baskets than cryptos.
So I'll keep everything in that basket and try to make it grow. With so many stuff it is hard, and I sure had a lot of luck within my good choices.
I am realistic.
But at the same time you think doing the same 9 month would result in 70000€. You think about that king of stuff when you did it once...  

But after a long reflexion I went for the secure long term investment on june 14th.

I took 2.25 BTC and invested it into 1 Asic L3+ (September Batch) 1 Asic S9 (August Batch) and 2335 Giga Watt Tokens.
Giga Watt in Seattle USA will be hosting my miners at an incredibly low electricity rate.
I wanted to do it but it is kind of hard here in France and you need time, knowledge, and place etc... and I never wanted to invest in cloud mining type genesis or other scams and I never did.

I have now only 0,75 BTC worse of cryptos to manage and I am trying to do the same as I did the first time. x10 this stack. But from the end of the summer I'll be on top of that receiving some BTC and then in september some LTC everyday.

Time will tell if I did a good choice. I am happy with it. I am a true beginner in this world and it is only worse 700€.  

Hope this will help you make your investment choices.

[CuriousInvestor]

I would suggest you to wait on investing until post Bitcoin Fork.

[lakimens]

I'm thinking PlexCoin for my first investment. They aim to make crypto's available very easily. They plan to make a Visa Card called PlexCoin Visa that is directly connected to your PlexWallet and can be used in stores and ATM's.
PlexCoin.com
MyBit also sounds good, they want to tokenize revenue streams. Investors can send money to anyone for anything and after that they get revenue from that investment.

ALL ICO's have unfair distribution

How so? Both factors are in play either it's ICO or not: participation moment + amount of wealth. When to speculate/mine, how much buy coins /rigs. Life's unfair and it's fine more or less

[slaman29]

You can split your funds to investing more type:
1. 20% for holding altcoin potential and old altcoin stable as LTC, XMR, DASH, ETH
2. 20% for new altcoin very potential can invest long-term or short-term as GAME, WAVES, MUSIC, DGB (this coin can waiting new lowest and buy later), LBC, XEM ...
3. 10% if you have "free time" to finding and follow some project ICOs, you can invest
4. 50% use trading everyday, need learning strategy and technical analysic can trading on crypto market, learning keep safe your funds and keep calm to face the storm breakdown, ...

Final training every can helps you have experience to trading long time, good luck!

This is probably the best advice here. Diversify, diversify, the most important lesson for anyone. Invest a little in trading, a little in holding potential alts, and a little in trading. Only, not 50% in trading. I would even keep 20% just as a HOLD for Bitcoin. and 5% to education (buy stuff to learn).
