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

[target]

I will go for ripple if you intend for a long term like waiting for more than  year. Ripple would be the best choice for this. I don't expect all will agree though but when you think of the future of the coin and its usage in the financial institution, its ripple that will be used as its proven to be better than swift already. It will be the next coin to dominate.

$ 12,000 is a large sum for investment.  I would share the investment between several coins, so as not to risk.

[Pumuckel21]

i would suggest you to invest half ot the money onto bitcoin and 3k into monero or other proven altcoins. ANother 3k i would invest into some decent icos which have an promising future

[tachi641]

$12000 is a big amount to invest but I would suggest you to invest 2000$ each in six coins so that your investment will be diversified. First of all do yourself some research of top 50 coins from coinmarketcap list then decide what is best for you. I have some good coins list you can check. You can consider  DeepOnion, Bitcoin, Waves, Stratis and Xmr. There is always risk in any investment. Invest that you can afford to loose.

As you have little to no knowledge about cryptos I wouldn't suggest you going in to ICO investents as finding the right ICO that isn'T scam nowadays is really hard. Especially for a beginner. Stick with the gold & fuel; bitcoin and Ethereum. These are the only 2 that can be guaranteed to not lose you money. LTC, Dash, Doge also would keep your investment safe but you wouldn't profit from them much. Invest in BTC and ETH and see your investments rise.

You have to determine the investment strategy for yourself. I can offer you a list of promising projects in my opinion, and you should analyze each of them and draw conclusions to invest or not. In any case, your portfolio should have such coins as BTC, ETH. In addition to them, pay attention to the following projects: DASH (Dash)
XRP (Ripple)
XEM (Nem)
NEO (NEO)
IOTA (Miota)
Zec (Zcash For)
ETC (Ethereum Classic)
EOS
ADA (Cardano)
Monero

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?

Yeah. You were definitely a noob.

You can hold till anytime you want. Till eternity perhaps?

There is a risk in everything we do in life. Merely breathing or farting itself is a risk

Head over to the child boards to get some knowledge of crypto as a beginner

What the fuck do you know about Litecoin?

You can invest in Ada, Iota and Neo. These are very good coins that can give awesome returns

Ofcourse bitcoin, and bitcoin was trusted for many years but you need to learn on how the crypto currency works and you need to learn the basic and step by step procedure on how you will have bitcoin or how could you invest in bitcoin, just always make a research before investing in different crypto currency.

[Nivelir]

Such amounts need to be invested in projects that have already been tested for years, such projects as BTC or ETH or LTC, because investing large sums in projects that have only appeared is considered highly risky

[Robin,Hood]

In the long term (five or more years) coin emission rate must be better than fiats inflation.
One of the main reasons of crypto is to the escape the yearly wealth loss with fiat through inflation. 

[profit-shooter]

I would recommend investing your 12 000 dollars in three cryptocurrencies in equal parts: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP. Just send those cryptos to your wallets and forget about them by the end of 2018. I think they will bring you impressive profits! You can hold longer for more If you want!

[Borisov]

I would advise not to invest all the money in one coin, and look at 5-7 coins from the top 50 and those that are in a larger drawdown. in those and invest!

[Old Bindu]

Anyone who gives advice to this person on the purchase of any altcoin should be aware of the extent of his responsibility to him. If something goes wrong, this person will blame you for giving him the wrong recommendation.

[DDamiRR]

For some 12000 is a large amount, for others a small amount. It all dependes on whether you can afford to lose that money and not regret it? And the autor of this theme I would advise not to invest the money and read the forum to gain information and then he will understand what to do.

[BraveSaw]

For a long time IMP bitcoin is a good coin, but anyway I think the best option is to spread your money between 2-3 coins, so in case of any troubles with one coin, others will cover possible loses...
Bitcoin, ether, XRP are good from my view.

[Dread]

in this (2018) any invest will be a LONGTERM)

in my opinion, this year is no good for investors

I will still recommend bitcoin. I think that money that you are going to invest will grow massively as bitcoin rises once again. Many people are predicting that in the middle of the year, bitcoin will be surprising us once again so grab this opportunity and invest on bitcoin while the value is still low. You will totally regret it if you are going to invest on other coin.

[alient86]

I recommend that you select several coins at once. So you minimize the risks. Collect 5 coins in your portfolio, for example. I'm recommending you Bitcoin (predict very good growth in 2019), I think this is a good coin for the Hold. Also the Etherium, EOS
