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

[Enzo05]

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?

I suggest you try to look for an ICO that is legit and also an ICO that comes with a bonus like diwtoken , but if you are looking to a safe invest why not try to invest in a top 10 in token @ coinmarketcap : https://coinmarketcap.com/tokens/   . Just pick the right token that you feel you can gain money .

I would advise you to invest this amount of money (12 000$) as follows:

1. 6000 $ in BTC
2. 4000 $ in ETH
3. 1000 $ in NEO
4.  1000 $ in XEM

This is a reliable low-risk and long-term investment.

I'd put that 12k on NEO alone if I have the that amount. Among those that you list its NEO that is cheaper but have the potential for you to gain 5x this 2018 alone. 6k for BTC will just be a fraction of a coin but with NEO you have the good amount of coins. NEM might be the cheapest but it might take more years for them to finally be moving up.

I fully agree with you. NEO this year can give a very large increase compared to these coins. It seems to me that the X5 is even a little. If China will come to that legalizes crypto-currency, it will be a lot more x

I will divide this amount into three parts and would buy such coins like Neo, Ripple and Tron.According to me these coins has great potential.

Instead of Ripple I would recommend you to have a look on Stellar (XLM).

I can be your fund manager, my friend. I charge 20% of the profits. All loss is yours. And if it flops, you'll have someone to blame 

\Seriously, doesn't sound, like you even understand what are you talking about  Learn basics of investment first.

[crypto_sagor]

It is the same thing as the advice of others to invest so many cash and get the kick of Horse. so learn first then invest money anything that you like.

Put 12k in NEO if you only choose one coin. Else you can make a portfolio with 6k NEO, 3k ETH and 3k LEND.
You should hold until you make at least 3x. Don't ever sell for loss.
There is always a risk in investing crypto currencies. You make it minimized by buying good coins.

i would split in some coins. Some big like ETH and some more risky but with good products

[sorehammer]

You have handsome amount for investment,you are going to enter in very risky enviroment,but reward is also very high.You should split your investment into BTC,BCH,ETH,ALC,XRP,all of these coins are good for short term investment except BTC $ ETH (little bit).Invest in BTC & ETH for long term because both of these coins has great potential to provide higher return.Anyway you should also make your research on behavior of these two coin by yourself,this will clarify you when to invest,when to withdraw,when to reinvest.These two coins are more reliable and has highest market capitalization (ist BTC,2nd ETH).You can multiply your investment by reinvesting your surplus return.

What would i do if i had 12000 to invest
I'll put 3000 in WAVES
I'll put 3000 in OAX
I'll put 3000 in BNT
I'll put 3000 in ICO to maximise profits,

good luck

[Karto]

right now the best is to hold BTC
a good long term is ADA , but it may go more dip so i dont know if its the best time to buy
best project for long term.. very strong people behind and strong fundamentals

[Thadeous]

Here is my set of tips for crypto investments:
1) remember that all coins and tokens are high risk assets;
2) as a result from p.1 - you should never invest money that you are not ready to loose at once;
3) always diversify your investments, so compose an investment portfolio;
4) as for cryptocurrency portfolio, its certain part should contain flagman coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

[Pechalka]

Ripple, Cardano, Stellar, IOTA, NEM, maybe some in TRON, Tether, Verge, Doge(lol), 0x, Golem

sorry but you a really believe, that he as to invest in Tether? could you please explain little bit more in details, why o you think so? I first time see such suggestion

[bitcoin31]

You can invest litecoin if you want and for sure you will make more profit after few yeara of holding.  I think they have possibility the price of litecoin will becone $1000 and for sure this year 2018 and  after few years possible 5000 dollars plus.  That amouny of capital is very big and for sure you can add more altcoins for that amount so you can search list of different coin and buy it so you can get a lot of profit.

[SergiOLa]

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.

Yeah, this will make your coin portfolio super stable with lowest possible risk.
From other side this approach neutralizes the chance to get super profit from perspective top altcoins growth.

But theres a lot of good altcoin other than ethereum and bitcoin so if I have a $12000 I will put them in moner and Eos why because this two have a great Developer and good concept that will boom in the market this is also for long term investment.
Eos are know as anti ethereum with blockchain 3.0 it will launch there product this year that can cause to pump up the price.

4. Xrp (1000$)
5. ABT(Arc block) (2000$)
6. ICO (Initial coin offering) (1000$)

I guess it is best that if you will invest such amount in a long term investment, it should be invested not in just one coin to atleast 3-4 coins. As for me, it would be profitable to invest 50% of it in bitcoin, 20% in eth, 10% in litecoin, and then 10% in dat. I see great potential in these coins and for me, investing in it would be worth it.

[riskarcher]

the best way to invest is in the coin below
BTC = Absolutely yes
ETH = Of course
MNX = Why not
PRL = Sure
DOGE = Yes
it's up to you where you want to allocate your money. because your investment is your responsibility, this is just my advice

Yeah. Litecoin has very good prospects. Consonant. I know a lot of people who love this coin. 1000 dollars this year I think it will reach.
