Crowd source it. Go to coinmarketcap.com and investigate the top 25 or so. Those are coins, for the most part, that have already been vetted by the community and deemed worth investing in. Sticking the with top coins is a good way to diversify and get your feet wet without having to worry about getting stuck in a scam coin. After you are comfortable with that, you can try your luck with newer coins or ICOs, if you want.
Terrible advice. In fack you are saying that you are noob and advising him to stay as a noob and invest what you have invested . Lol
Wow.... that's harsh. I tend to follow the Warren Buffet model of investing, that buying and holding good large cap assets will blow away the returns of guys that jump on the newest and shiniest thing that pops up every day while blowing a good percentage of their returns on fees. Now, I know this model hasn't been tried and proven in the cyrpto world, but what has been tried and proven in the cyrpto world?
Anyway, If you think advising someone that the core of their portfolio should be made up of good, large cap, proven, fairly stable, and worthwhile projects is "noob advice", then we'll have to agree to disagree. In the mean time, you should read up on Warren Buffet's $1,000,000 bet with the hedge fund trader. Warren picked one investment, a boring large cap Vangaurd index fund, and blew the hedge fund trader away to the tune of 400% over 10 years ....
