I have 500,000$ to invest

[sandrun]

should you invest your money to buy bitcoin or altcoin. I think it's a quick way to invest. You will get a lot of money from bitcoin. With big amount of money you will get big profit. Maybe you need to wait a while .. wait when bitcoin price goes down.

$500K ? Buy properties or gold

If you want to invest on cryptocurrency, better you do some research. After all you can split your money to Bitcoin and invest to a precious thing, example :
1. $10K for Bitcoin
2. Buy Real Estate/gold

Creating such a thread here, will just give you shilling replies.
Everyone all of the sudden knows which coins are great, and coincidentally they hold that coin too 

[LimLims]

If you have that higher amount to invest then invest in bitcoins and other good altcoins and wait for the price to go higher and I am sure you will be making huge profits if you don't miss the perfect time of selling them when price is the best.

Maybe not all like that, they just say spontaneously something they know. Obviously not to trap all members with replies on this tread. This discussion should be in the discussion of trade. That's bad to do.

You can certainly work out a great plan before engaging in investing with anything even in Cryptocurrency we surely need planning and a bit of research before getting on an investment but I am very sure that bitcoin is 100% legit and a must have investment because the price is unbelievably still rising but it is a good thing to not put all your money in bitcoin and yes gold has a significant price to just like bitcoin it's price is huge to so investing with it is good.

I would split it, never put it on one thing

Possible things I would recommend:

 - Altcoin mining (check out the new ASIC´s for altcoins from bitmain or build/buy some rigs)
 - Invest into top cryptocurrencies (not BTC for possible high profit)
 - Buy some BTC ("slow" but steady rise
 - Support some ICO´s (much money to be made)

You have a lot of money to invest. You should buy some bitcoin or altcoin for you to invest. This is probably the easiest way to invest because you just keep your bitcoin .. and sell it when prices rise

[friends1980]

If you need to ask for advice on a forum, it might be better to keep your half million under a mattress...

[ethereumhunter]

with $500,000 you can invest in many thing especially if you want to invest in cryptocurrency. with buying bitcoin when the price is reduce, you can have the best investment right now and in future, you can make a big profit. beside bitcoin, i think you can buy a house and rented it for make profit or you can create a new business that suit with you.

If you have the money, how you earned them. Maybe we should ask you how you can earn the same amount. No I don't believe OP. It's just a Troll who creates fake threads for earnings in the company's signatures. Stupid.

[RodeoX]

If you really have 5 big to invest and you are asking people here... You should just keep your cash.

Many (most?) "investors" in bitcoin do not know what they are doing. The fact that they are relying on it as an investment is a good example. If you want to try bitcoin (highly recommended before buying a bunch) then buy one, and spend it online the way God and Satoshi intended. Find out why bitcoin is superior to cash, not just more valuable.  

Oh, and TRUST NO ONE!!!

With $ 500 you can buy altcoin. This is a very good money making area today. But you need the wisdom and the market analysis techniques of altcoin. You can learn about altcoin on the internet

The big question is: which one. I have tried some in the past and some of them turned into scams or were sold to another team that couldn't promote it well enough. There are many decent coins, like Ripple or Dash, but you never know what becomes of them in a year or 2. It's a gamble.
If I were to invest i'd choose the king - Bitcoin. It's much safer than trying altcoins and offers a comparable chance of profit.

[supercanada1]

where should i invest and why ?

Well you are talking a lot of money right now. And I should say that if you wanted to invest, you must think where you wanted to invest to. Long term or the short term invesmtent. But I recommend you to invest on long term. Long term it is. Because in long term you really will harvest a lot of money. Invest on bitcoin when it dips. Goodluck on your investments. Put some money on other alternative coins such as nem and ptoy. Surely you will get a lot.

well yes the amount is very high and you need to put it in a right way so that you will not meet with disappointment so I would like to suggest you to invest in the bitcoin only because bitcoin is now a trust worthy currency and you will earn through it definitely and the price of the bitcoin is increasing very fast so my suggestion is bitcoin only.

[Lizzie_Girl]

If you really had that amount to invest you wouldn't be asking where to put it. You didn't even do any research you only ask one quesand it is the laziest of all the questions you could possibly ask. You need to think for yourself and look around that's too much money to just take the word of a random.

[freedomsr40]

As for any investment, you need to first start by the asset selection and due diligence.

So what is the purpose of your investment? What is the target? How much risk you are willing to take?

Then you have to make a list of available assets, then check each of them what is the return/risk/etc, then make your own decision.

[jabetizo]

I bought a lot of EOS. I see the chinese cornering the market and I want some of what ever they smoking.! Some interesting small cap ICO's coming up as well that I have seen. 

[GreatOrchid]

I would personally recommend you to invest in a lot of bitcoins, ethereum, monero, neo, and waves for sure. they can give you a veryyy good profit in a near future, those coins are amazing, i hold them all for long term, and they will do at least 3x in some time.
lets hold people, only invest in good coins

[CrypticGambit]

Wow thats a lot of money I think you should invest in some ico. DigiPulse or kickIco are the new ones that are very interesting. You should check them out. They have anns here on btctalk.

[FrozenByte]

You could invest some of it into Bitcoin then invest the rest into other areas so that way you aren't risking it all.
