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

[kynaz]

I think you should choose NEO because indeed this altcoin is the second ETH of China and NEO is being considered by major investors and always considered the best altcoin this year. I am sure the NEO price may soon reach $ 1000 this year and this is sure to happen soon

No coin is safe for investment, no guarantee there, if you are beginer and don't know about investment in cryptocurreny, you need learn more about it, because every something have a risk, seem like your wallet can be hacked, the coins price can go down and etc, if you already know about investment in cryptocurrency, I sugest you to imvest in Ethereum, because there is many users, and many company choose it, for example for bounty, airdrop and etc. I think this help you

Which is a safe coin to invest in the long term?
How long should I hold it?

Is there a risk that I might lose it all?

I am a noob in cryptocurrencies. Help. 

I was thinking Litecoin, is it a good idea?

There is always a risk in cryptocurrency. Never invest all money in single cryptocurrency. Litrecoin is good.  According to me I will make investment as give below:
50% in Ethereum
20% in Litecoin
20% in Monero
10% in Ripple
I think this portfolio will give you maximum profit in long term.

Strat, ark and xcp and forget about them for 1 year.

Invest in:

• Cardano(ADA)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• NEO
• Ripple
• Stellar (XLM)
• EOS (after 1.june if you are new to this)

I think these cryptocurrencies are promising, and there is price drop right now on some of them.

It is also advisable to hold your coins/tokens in different exchanges to reduce the risk of losing it all if one of them gets hacked.

RestartEnergy and Giftz.io. The former ICO's token should be able to virtually store electrical energy. Giftz, on the other hand, will change the future of how we all earn cash-back & loyalty rewards is in the pipeline. Any thoughts on these two sleeping giants?

Go for both! RestartEnergy has a really promising idea and a solid whitepaper. Giftz.io has a huge potential given that they are in uncharted waters, I can see their token going really big in the long run. It is not just that, you can also exchange it for goods and services from the merchants that participate, so there is even more liquidity and ways to get something back.

Invest in:

• Cardano(ADA)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• NEO
• Ripple
• Stellar (XLM)
• EOS (after 1.june if you are new to this)

This guy knows his coins! That is a good list, I like you mentioning Cardano, most people tend to forget about this hidden gem.
I would add some more, and maybe remove EOS, since you'd be late to the party. So here is my list:

• Cointed (CTD)
  
• Giftz (ITC)
  
  • Cardano(ADA)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • NEO
  • Ripple
  • Stellar (XLM)
  • EOS (after 1.june if you are new to this)

Right now almost everything is dumping except NEO, i think that NEO can show really magnificent things in the future, so its a safe bet for 6 months+ for fast gains.

[n1drow]

invest it all in a longterm - btc or eth

[GeorgeEden]

you have to make a big research first of all and also invest half of the amount or even one third cuz you dont wanna lose.or if thats a small amount for you then okay. you should invst on xpr or eth.

[sic57005]

Right now almost everything is dumping except NEO, i think that NEO can show really magnificent things in the future, so its a safe bet for 6 months+ for fast gains.

Just because NEO is heavily pumped now, like TRON previously. I don't see great potential in Ethereum clones and wonder why project with only 25 coins and 12 smart contract on its network* overall can be even compared to more powerful ones. It has potential of course, but I see it like one of most overvalued projects now, so the rest is about your personal choice.

*It tells clearly: nobody recently test security, stability, safety and performance of its network. 12 Contract is absolutely not enough for this.

put TRX and ICX on your list for long term

Hi joann15,

could you please provide some more information about you suggestion of TRX?
Seems good but decentralized web sites would be a big change.

TRX has lost 75% of its value in the span of 10 days, it went from 25 cents to (now) 6 cents. It is being heavily manipulated (99.999% of all Tron coins are owned by the Chinese) and they have no product whatsoever. No one in their right mind would invest in _nothing_ for the long term. There are many projects with published scientific papers, actual products, actual roadmaps with real outputs. None can be said about Tron.

That TRX dude, Justin, is so clueless that he didn't even verify his Twitter account 

Completely agree.

[Robin789]

If you research about altcoin then you will find a solution which one will be profitable to invest.
Make sure you hold these:
1. Waves,
2. STRAT,
3. Ethereum,
4. NEO
5. Ethereum Classic
most popular coin,
you can invest for long term. thanks.

for everyone who wants to invest in crypto project, I suggest you to join and join daneel project, why? because this is the only project that uses AI to help investors, ANN thread please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2376203 and website at www.daneel.io

If I have that kind of money i would invest on Bitcoin and Ethereum. They are my top 2 coins and i believe that investing on these coins is a sure profit. But there are some good alternative coins that you can invest. Do some research and be smart on which coin you would like to invest. Because you could lose all your money.

[HouruSinkara]

it's a bad idea to invest in one coin, greater risks , choose more coins and divide evenly into all coins your deposit

There will be always a risk on investing because the market is volatile but if you really want to be sure to earn a lot of profit with that amount of money then i suggest that you should invest on bitcoins because the value of this coins is growing fast within just months.

[Plimo]

Yes there is a risk of losing.

If you have 12k to invest you should invest on a few coins not on one.

[skymia]

New coin with great potentials! Do your own research, study your own investment! Good luck,

I suggest that your $ 12,000 money is not in vain, you better invest in SXDT

[NutMasterTardd2]

If you solely want to gain fiat, buying into top 10 coins won't maximize your profits. Look into decent newer alts with potential, I recommend reading up on QRL, XEL or DCT which are very different projects but will grow a lot over the next few years.


Also wait until all of these markets have dumped before buying (a week or so), this is probably only the start of the bloodbath.
