I have 500,000$ to invest

[Oo ako to]

where should i invest and why ?

I think you should study bitcoin first more than anything else. In case you already know it, wait for a good opportunity to buy them. If ever you want to enter in altcoin trading, dividing your investment in many coins is the best strategy. Don't ask me on what coins so do you research and good luck.

Wow. That is huge amount of money and if you are interested in cryptocurrency then invest in multiple coins, do not invest in one coin.
Best investment option at this moment is Bitcoin. You can also invest in ETH because it has potential to grow. Also invest in some ICO which has high potential to be successful.

Wow, You are already rich even without investing in any cryptocurrency but i guess you are the same with us who still want even greater amount of money. The only thing i can advice to you before you invest in any cryptocurrency is you have to study the coin you want to invest to, If they have potential to grow even larger like bitcoin so you can avoid losing your invested money. I've read some suggestions here, I agree to them that you must invest to different cryptocurrency not in only one and also, you can try investing to Initial Coin offering(ICO) not just any ICO but ICO with high potential so your invested money will come back to you even larger.

never put all of your eggs in one basket that's the rule of the trading. i think you should try some altcoin also like waves, nxc tokens , etherium , dogycoin.
i think these coins have better future in the term of profit.

[FintechEU]

I would better put such funds into realiable ICOs backed up by real business/assets

$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 

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.

Naah, im not a good planner but i just look out the amount of money with that money you can buy real estate, so why did he wants to invest that money on cryptocurrency ? You can not spend your money for uncertain business. In my opinion only three types of people do that thing :
1. In fact he has no money
2. His property/money is too much
3. Too st*pid in accounting

first you have to give me money first .
 Invest in a potential alt coins that you think will grow in a short or long period of time. Then also invest in a traditional business like house renting, own a condominium. You can invest also in a food restaurant . Its up to you bro.

[mrcash02]

With a $500.000 investment you don't need to worry about doing trades often to make profit. You can just buy Bitcoins and hold it for some time. You will surely have a big income for a long time by doing this. Trade with AltCoins would be just necessary if your bankroll would be smaller, as you have much money it's a desnecessary risk in my opinion as you can lose money this way too.

[Nalien]

That depends on what your trade style and risk appetite are like.

I personally prefer a mix of long-term HODL and swing trading, but don't see any point in day trading without a trade bot. I suppose some people are into the thrill of poorly predictable instant movements though.

Anyways, depending on your risk appetite, I would keep a larger/smaller stack that is equally spaced between Bitcoin, Ethereum and AiCoin as my "keep value / reach minimum desired amount of profit" stash. This could be as much as 70% or as little as 50% or less if you just want to preserve your capital while placing more "high risk very hard reward" bets on altcoin projects. AiCoin is extremely likely to outperform BTC and ETH with a similar or lower draw-down than both of those due to the nature of the coin.

As far as promising altcoin projects with more potential  risk/reward go, Waves is on the moderate side in terms of risk/reward and could hold a slightly larger position.

Something like Presearch could explode if they market and develop it properly, especially with all the controversy around Google currently and the issues with big tech profiting off of individual users without really sharing the pie.

SONM is rock-bottom currently due to pretty large-scaled FUD campaigns, which in my opinion were ungrounded. If it traced the performance of Golem (a similar project), it could see price increases from 2x to 30x within half a year with a fairly low chance for further draw-down from its current price.

Ark is also a very promising project due to the announced SmartBridge feature, it's still not around it's May ATH and may or may not drop in the short-term, but it's unlikely that it's anywhere near its end right now.

DeepOnion has just started trading and the freely airdropped coins started trading upwards of 10 cents each. If the project delivers they could easily hit $1-10 before 2020 and even go notably higher than that by 2020 and onward as well. Since you already have $500k I'm not sure if you care about joining the signature campaign, but that's a fairly small time investment (10 posts a week with 50 characters each) that could quite well turn into several hundred grand if you hold the bag and the project pans out.

Real estate means a lot of work for investment returns as low as 4% p.a. and no more than 15-20% p.a. Real estate is a shitty investment with too much work and too little reward. Of course you can pay an agency to deal with all the paper work, rent collection etc. for you, but that will lower profits further. Crypto>Stocks>Real Estate if you're young and not obscenely rich already. If you're old or ultra-wealthy, then it makes sense to put some into real estate, some into stocks and a little bit into crypto.

[DreamTeamGG]

In DreamTeam. Dreamteam is a new blockchain-based platform that unites gamers from around the world and emits its own Token currency.

These are my suggestions:

One. You can participate in ICO and choose a start-up. Everex is a Singaporean company with a good mission. Alexi Lane and his team want to build a faster and better global remittance system. Everex token sale is still on-going, and both ethereum and bitcoin are accepted. If you're planning to invest, there's a sign up link here: goo.gl/E2NDF2 ICO investment, to me, is a win-win. You invest in cryptocurrency and at the same time, you're helping a company make a difference.

Two. You can invest in bitcoin itself. The market value of bitcoin is unstoppable. It keeps rising and it keeps surprising people all over the world. Why not join the fun? Who knows? This is the kind of investment program you're waiting for. Just remember: Expect less.

Three. Invest in your own company. Instead of risking your money to an existing company, why not start something new? Your start-up can use bitcoin in all payment transactions. You can also join the ICO Community. 

[Dudeperfect]

That's a lot of money to begin with. If I were you, I'll just invest 50% of if into the crypto world like BTC, ETH, LTC and XRP. Or even in and ICO. You just need to do a lot of research though. The rest for none crypto's like stocks, bonds and Mutual Funds.

Even if everyone is suggesting you some coins, I would advise you to diversify your investment in at least 30 to 40 investment options and you can put some amount in strong coins from the market and also consider other parallel investment opportunities such as Blockchain/Bitcoin startups, Crypto currency / Fiat ATMs, promising ICOs etc. Please spend maximum time in doing your research, doesn't matter even if it takes 6+ months but look for the long term goals and throughout security.

This is what I'm trying to drive at. He need's to diversify his funds and not put it all in the crypto industry. So he has still a lot of options in his hands to at least mitigate the risk if something goes wrong to his investments. He can even try real state as well. Different investment choices work well under different conditions and in an uncertain world where the future is mostly unknown, a diversified portfolio is a sensible choice.

Exactly, since his capital is high enough to diversify and still having the strong amount of share for investing in every possible option. OP should wisely diversify this investment among various sectors which are not related to each other so even if something goes wrong in one sector, it won't affect the whole invested capital. I think everyone on this thread is suggesting it since the amount is high.

[hardforkcoin]

First of all, I want to just call out that it is dangerous to come onto a forum and ask for investing advice. There are many people here that would steer you to buy a certain coin that they want to go up in price, so their natural bias would be to tell you to buy X or Y or Z, because of reason A or B or C or D etc...

The question you should ask is, where can you find more information about coins to invest in? You need to learn and do the homework yourself to come up with any meaningful conclusions.

You will need to spends 100s of hours reading about many different concepts and coins before you understand even 10% of what is going on here. Keep reading. Go and read white papers, look at exchanges, price history, terms, concepts, definitions, memorize things.

Lots of work to do before you can figure out what to invest in.

where should i invest and why ?

Assuming you own the place you live, you don't need the money in the foreseeable future (minimum 5 years) and you don't need to invest in order to fund a particular purchase (for example a house or college) then:
60% in global equity funds
20% in bonds
10% in bitcoin
10% in cash
Rebalance frequently to maintain roughly the same allocation.

[unusualfacts30]

I'm assuming that this is your extra money that you can invest without worrying about it in the future. You should keep 50k aside and invest it in altcoins that looks decent to you. Invest the rest in Bitcoin and other alts with large market cap that's where big players stay and when they move the market, you'll move with it. Keep some aside just in case price drops, so you can buy more.

I'm not sure investing in tech is the best idea, seeing as how technology is evolving at such a high rate. Maybe something more stable, more predictable. But that's the big question isn't it?

If it's less risky, more stable and easily predictable then it is likely not going to be a profitable investment and so you should be ready to risk if you want to invest and so whether tech stuff or Bitcoin just follow and understand how the systems work and invest with adequate knowledge about the investment.

[25hashcoin]

Bitcoin Cash.

[flag39]

I would suggest you to invest in DeepOnion new promising coin new tech. A very interesting group of people would like to use transactions through TOR network.
