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

[Zentor]

Bitcoin, of course, else Ethereum, Monero. Litecoin also is a good choice for that. Choose old cryptocurrencies from top-20 of market capitalization that will definitely survive else one year.

If you want to invest long term. You should thoroughly understand Bitcoin or Altcoin, the study of the business behind the coin, investors who are investing in that coin will ensure that you invest in that coin is safe or not. If you decide on long-term investment then you should invest in Bitcoin and vice versa, just to make big profits in the shortest time, Altcoin and ICO are the right choices. As of now, I think you should know about the cryptocurrency knowledge before deciding whether to invest in Bitcoin or Altcoin.

In my opinion the best coin there is to hold for long term would obviously be bitcoin, based on how far it had gone since 2009 until the present. Though it is constantly fluctuating, it finds its way to recover back most of the time. And always remember when you do trading, there is always a risk and you should be prepared to lose all those money you invested. But there are also altcoins that are good to invest if you want to diversify your money, there is Ethereum and NEO or even XEM which I am quite fascinated by this coin.

Invest in Ethereum the most part. The lesser parts you can invest in some not well known altcoins with low market cap and active development. I can propose SCS now, because it has already working network but the current cap is less than $150k in total. LUXCoin is slightly bigger but looks like great investment too.

First I suggest half of your capital to buy Bitcoin, because bitcoin is perfect for long-term investments. The rest you can buy alternative coins. such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple and NEO.

[Jendral Istimewa]

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?

indeed what I do now invests in bitcoin where bitcoin prices are highest among other coins. I hope you also invest with bitcoin because bitcoin is very profitable.

[nelson4lov]

I suggest such funds should be carefully used to avoid losses. I bought and have been holding Bitcoin, Ethereum and few other altcoins like STORM, Electroneum, INS, Elatos, Lisk etc. $100 – $200 per altcoin bag should be enough.

[Nachoo]

In my modest experience, I'll suggest to invest in Dash and Monero because they are strong and anonymous, then put some amount in Cardano and Stellar because they are growing day by day and a lot of people are investing in them

[Christian_14]

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  

Yes. I agree. Bitcoin is absolutely the best and trusted investment here in crypto world. Many have gained profits and there are millions of investors around the world. Eth of course is also a good deal to have. Long history, good project, nice platform and also large community or user base. It's called the second best coin because it is really a very good coin everyone uses. other alts are also good but you should do your research and find which one fits your needs. Be confident and take risk. Invest only what you afford to lose and gain profit big time.

[removebeforeflight]

Split your investment into 3 to 4 parts for safe and good returns if one goes down also the other would help you.

Suggest you to go for these cryptocurrency.
50% investment into Bitcoin
25% investment into Ethereum
25% investment into Litecoin and Ripple.

[Zyborg]

You have good amount for investment.I advise you to split your amount in this way.
1.50% in BTC for long term because a huge price jump is expected in BTC in 2018 so holding your investment in this coin would certainly provide you higher return.
2.30% EHT,another most growing high profile Altcoins.You should also hold it for long terms.ETH is having strong community and its popularity is at climax these days because of some high profile projects in support of it.ETH is expected to touch $3000.
3.20% You should go for XRP,NEO,ADA,IOTA,WAVES.These are rapidly growing coins.Engage in these coins for short term trading and reinvest your profit amount into BTC & ETH,it would be very wise strategy.These coins are also pumped up by some good projects and prices are increasing day to day.

[wanderloy]

I should invest them all to Oyster Pearl PRL.
This time is the best time to invest on Oyster as it is approaching into the launching the Mainnet this coming April 6th and the Oyster Shell SHL will be given into the PRL holders on 1:1 ratio.
Oyster PRL will soon rise and this would be your chance to invest $12,000 and earn up to x10 of investment return.

[Zentor]

At long-term only Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin IMHO. They will bring less profit but your money will be enough safe for a long time.

[CaptainBezique]

It is better to divide and inlay such sum in a few currencies. Look information about the market of cryptocurrencies and about chinks which will become perspective. you will divide the budget into a few parts and if what that a coin will not rise - other will rise necessarily

[Jigsawman082076]

Well if ever I have $12000 I would surely invest it all in bitcoin just like all of my friends did who are also into bitcoin and not just only bitcoin but also all of those cryptocurrencies out there, I'm sure if I will invest it all in bitcoin I think I'll gonna get it back in the short span of time. Bitcoins market value might go down for some time but it is really proven that it also arises back gaining you the money that you lost and also profits for you.

I think invest it in bitcoin because surely you can get a higher profit, that amount is enough to invest but make sure you won't regret if anything happens, because in an investing have risk to take but when you invest it in a good cain, surely you will get a double amount of your money. Also its good to invest in altcoin like in ethereum because this coin is a like in bitcoin, both rising and have higher value but bitcoin is much higher value to all.

[emmybd]

All cryptocurrencies price have been dropping over the past few weeks, so you have got a lot of options available for investment. As you are interested to hold for long-term, so you should diversify your portfolio and invest in some well-known coins such as Neo, Litecoin, and Ethereum and other cheap coins such as Cardano.

Lol well, you might lose about half of your investment investing in those coins.
10 Coins is a lot to read up on everyday/week.

[serjik228]

Very interesting project that can show very good profit at the end of this year
