All my money in 1 altcoin - Too risky?

[Alijiindahaus]

Concentrated investment is not the most dangerous, so it has its advantages, you can get more benefits in less investment time! But if the amount of money you invest is very large, then I suggest that diversification is safer!

I think that the main rule of every investor is never to invest in one coin all of your funds. Still, you need to somehow minimize the risks of your losses.

[aragom]

Is really a bad idea if you ask me there is absolutely no reason to make such a move as one shipwreck means the end of your invested funding

even it is btc, it is so riskly.

make a good basket with your coins. divide them logically. and dont buy 2 03 3 coins. buy at least 5 coins.

[Serveev]

Very dangerous. Better allocate your $ 500 for 5 pieces for $ 100 and buy 5 good altcoins. It's much safer that way.

[payyy]

Yep, it's too risky.  I would not risk investing all the money in one coin, even if I was sure of it. Better choose two or more alts were you can invest your money.

[Fedorof]

As far as I know, it's very risky and not right to wet everything in one viola! You need to allocate your portfolio competently and so that you do not lose all your profits in one moment!

it is too risky to invest all money in one altcoin we should make diversify investments in all top coins then only we can make profits

[goyald2801]

Even if it is in top 10 coins then too i will not recommend you to do investment i just 1 project . It is very risky because market changes very fast in crypto space . you can see yourself that many coin those were listed on coinmarketcap 2-3 years back are dead . also never hold any coin for infinite period , book profit and invest in other . so invest your money in different projects so that if any of those dip then you face no huge loss .

It is very risky but at the same time you have a probable big return. if you guess the right altcoin The profits are very good. an idea could be split them into 2 altcoins, but if you've found one that you really like, you can go all in

[CuJIaBiTi]

Of course, it's risky to keep money in one asset. However, there are exceptions. And at the moment, this exception is bitcoin but all this because it continues to grow.

[Aion2n]

Of course, if you called a coin it would be easier to say something concrete. For example, if you put all this amount into the ether, then I would say that this is a good decision. But as for the other coins, the situation here is completely different. In any case, invest only in one coin (unless it is bitcoin or ether and it is better to invest 50/50 in them) I think it is very unreasonable. And of course it's always better to divide your contribution into several parts (even if you only have $ 200 or $ 300)

[Crytocoin]

Except for BTC, they're all risky now. Maybe in a while the ETH can save itself in this market.

[prefontaine1982]

If you are just investing in shitcoins then it is more than risky, but if it is a good and a  very strong altcoin, then there is no problem about having your money in there, but yes, it is risky anyway

[AliveBuda]

Yes. Instead, it would be better if you divide your capital amd invest in 2-3 potential coins. This will reduce the risk of investment and also ensure more profit as every coin has different growth rate.
Some alts which you can prefer are Litecoin, Ethereum, Monero. All three of these coins are highly popular and have one of the best development teams behind them. Also, they have huge market capital and are widely accepted in the financial market. They are good coins and you can expect good profit gains from them.

[HuyNgu99]

You do it all wrong, a smart investor never uses such a method, no matter big or small capital. Should use the common method of investors who sucessed, invest in many baskets, you can allocate capital into many, most should favor the top copper such as eth, btc, eos, neo, ... And few should invest in ico, the potential ico eg eot (eon), ...

[SoftHkA]

If you want my opinion. I would start by putting 20% each into solid coins that have a great future. This way, you know you have some stability moving forward.

Now that I gave you some opinions, I'll shill a coin I think has a big future and think you should research into which is Dstra(DST). I would take a look at the project, whitepaper, and all of the Business and Government partnerships they have. I think 2018 will be huge for Dstra.

[Olawale16]

Apart from crypto currency, i have a regular advice for you. You dont invest business with all your available cash, what if the business fails were do you start from. Same rule applies for cryptocurency,  dont  invest all your available asset into cryptocurrency. It is risky!!

[MaoNgu99]

I think that is not fit, we should divide the investment into many baskets and prioritize the top coin like btc, eth, eos, ... And divide a little capital into the ico or the baby coin that exudes power. Like myself, 80% invested in Etc and the remaining 20% invested in potential ico like Eon.

[anntlevel]

Yep, it's too risky.  I would not risk investing all the money in one coin, even if I was sure of it. Better choose two or more alts were you can invest your money.

No doubt it is risky to invest all your money in one coin because any disturbance in the market for that coin can make you cry over the spilt milk. So it is good to take rational decision rather. According to monetary economists, an investor should always have a diverse portfolio which reduces the risk to loose and should evaluate any asset that he intends to invest in because the factors risk, liquidity, and future profit are very important to determine the status of the asset.

I guess if you invest just one coin or Bitcoin Ethereum were probably very safe. And certainly, an asset of your coins will continue to evolve even can benefit greatly. But this process is very long because you have to keep your coins for the long term. If you do trade short term would certainly be more difficult to earn a profit.

That is a good suggest, but it's hard for a little investor. Because with 500$, and you just hold BCT, and ETH, it don't help you make a huge profit.
