$12000 to invest in long term. Which coin? :D

[X-avier]

Hello Friend! Let's start with the fact that no one, remember no one will be able to give you an answer in which you will be 100% sure of your truth. Investing in a currency is RISK and if this is your last money, then do not do this! But if you are still willing to risk and multiply your investments, start learning independently the coins of TOP 30 and choose to learn by yourself, only in this case you will succeed! Lightcoin is a very promising coin, but I would not put all the money in just one coin, it's a very big risk. Look closely at the Ripple coin,NEM(XEM),Ethereum,MONERO,Dash,BitcoinCash

I would say that if you have that large amount to invest, but don't know what to do, then don't invest it.

It's not a couple hundred bucks where you can "test" it out, 12k is a large amount.
Would you spend 12k on a mystery box that you don't know what the contents are?
Would you trust a random stranger who said, "oh! theres a log of good things in that box, trust me! Just buy it!"

Investing 12k in crypto but not knowing what to do, then asking on bitcointalk what to do, is exactly like that example I just shared.

Despite the rising price of BTC, there is still time.
You don't need to jump in now.
Take your time to research what crypto and blockchains are all about, research the market, research individual projects.
Then decide what you will buy.

Some general advice I can give you though, is if you are new, split the 12k into three different coins, with about half of it in btc.
Also, right now is a really bad time to buy cause prices are inflated, in a couple weeks prices should start to dip.

Cryptocurrency it's dangerous investment. If bitcoin will be crashed then all currency will be. Just invest in bitcoin and will have calm sleep.

[keyzersoze]

I would go all in Bitcore/Btx.
Can’t go wrong with the weekly airdrops and great upside potential

[Calligiato]

Keep 1/2 in bitcoin always ! you never know where the deep is !

Which is a safe coin to invest in the long term? Ans: Bitcoin, Eth,Monero

How long should I hold it? Ans: Every 3 months, you withdraw your profit

Is there a risk that I might lose it all? Ans: Since the inception of the above coins, it has proven it come has come to stay, so no fear, but there is nothing like certainty in financial market.

I am a noob in cryptocurrencies. Help.  Huh . Ans: Buy and hold, and learn while you hold your coins. Every one started from 1

I was thinking Litecoin, is it a good idea ? Ans: Yes it is.

But do your research and involve in constant learning.

Currencies and tokens to be observed with great long-term potentials,

-Bitcoin
-Ethereum
-Dash
-Qtum

if you invest the $ 12,000 in Bitcoin will certainly soon have some return, Ethereum follows the same path, Qtum and Dash Tambem. In relation to
tokens:

-EOS,
-Bancor
-Dragonchain

These Tokens are solid, and certainly have the strength for long-term investment.

Choose for yourself one or several coins such as Eth and Etc. Keep until the end of 2018 in a safe place, not on the stock exchange. But first, learn Altcoin, all the possible risks 

[lyoth]

There is always the risk of losing everything. Crypto is still in its infancy and it is high volatile. With that said, Id invest in Ethereum for the long run. Maybe another couple alts, but definitely eth as the majority.

Look at this coin if you want to make a profit within 1 to 2 months with a large ROI.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/authorship/
Causes:
1. Many offline investors.
2. A penny price (below the price of iso in 5 - 10 times).
3. No marketing (start early 2018).
4. Absence of the platform (start January 2018).

The capital of 12,000 dollars is big capital and enough to buy a lot of different altcoin . Litecoin is good investment and for sure if you choose you will you will earn a lot of profit. Because possible the price of litecoin become very high like thousands dollars. You can buy waves coin also if you want because the price of waves is very cheap and maybe the price become hundreds dollars after few years or few months of waiting . Because waves coin is a look a like of ethereum.

[dragoz11]

Litecoins price has already skyrocketed and if you are not a risk taker the less risky coin to invest is firstly Bitcoin itself and the second one is etherum with long term hold you can maybe triple your money.

So first of all spend some time in getting knowledge about cryptocurriencies. Read forum, watch, or read some tutorials. Learn about basic of Blockchain etc. After educating  go to coinmarketcap.com and choose something for you. Please don't follow other people advices, because most of them are just freaks about crypto the own and they will tell you subjective opinion.

It all depends on what you really need. Because there are coins that can be bought and received in the year 200 percent but the risk is average, and there are coins that will give from 1000 but the risks are very large

I agree with both choices. Litecoin and Waves. Litecoin as one of oldest and most promising coins with active developers and waves with a lot of benefits, great wallet and its platform for ICOs.
I also add Stratis. For sure there will be some announcements which will cause its price to rise very much. The team behind Stratis is working hard.

Hello thanks for your reply.
How can I know when prices are low enough to buy/not inflated? Like how can I spot the dip?
Can you point me to tutorials or phrases and to google or websites to learn about this

Some of the good performers lately are Litecoin, Adda, and Etherium is getting up there. Though it would still be wise for you to check the top coins on the surveys so you would have a better idea in which coins to invest. You have quite a sum in your disposal. So choose wisely and don't place all your eggs in one basket.
