The $1000 game

[SnowMonkey92]

Hey guys,

First of all :

**DISCLAIMER**
This topic will be full of biased opinion, always do your own research first before making any investment.


Now let's go back to the fun part 


Pretty easy, you have $1000 in your bank account ready to be invest, what would you do with it and how?
You can re-invest but you can't add more .

And VERY important : Why do you think other's strategies are not as good as yours? Too risky? Too safe? Let's debate

Hmmm....sounds fun

Do you have to "buy" today in this strategy?

Wow! First of all, this is a great topic to get a discussion going. However, I would probably move the thread out of the Beginners and Help section. I believe this is more for people with less knowledge that is looking for opinions and help, not here to give their own.

However, if I had $1,000 I would wait to invest it into Ethereum. This is a very safe play. However, you would still be making money as Etherum is rising greatly.

When you already ask, I've invested far more than $ 1,000 last few days in the short and long term. My short-term investment option is the Flash coin https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/flash/ and long-term in Bitcore https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcore/

With only $1,000 to play with you're going to be trying to pick a coin and hope it increases in value. When and if you make enough doing that you can invest in an ASIC miner for more steady and predictable income, then build off that.

Personally, my strategy thus far has been to heavily research coinmarketcap examining coins ranked 50-150 that have shown slow and steady growth on the logarithmic scale.  Thus symbolizes to me that the coin is not currently peaking and that that the development group has been showing reliable progress.  Then I would research all coins that fit the criteria in terms of:  problems they solve, active social community presence, and who is involved in the team.

I understand the mentality of HODL, but selling and rebuying when the coin is doing a cyclic motion is not bad, and an easy way of adding 0.05% more coins.

My investments are not focused on the coin at all.  Its will this coin generate enough hype with the community for me to make money.  Much like poker, dont bet on the hand, bet on your opponents.

Yep

Well I mean depending on when you gonna post your message .


I like your contributions guys, just a tiny precision though , the topic is more of what would you do if you have to invest $1000 today than what you did so far. Of course you can use your past experience but I think the interesting thing for beginners will be to  spot the pros and the cons we see in each others strategies.

Let's say that with my $1000 I want :

25% in ETH
25% in BTC

10% of OMG
10% of NEO
10% of MIOTA

Then day-trade with the 20% left

What do you think of that?
What would YOU do ?

(I should explain a bit more why I made these choices but it's just for the example)

Wow! First of all, this is a great topic to get a discussion going. However, I would probably move the thread out of the Beginners and Help section. I believe this is more for people with less knowledge that is looking for opinions and help, not here to give their own.

Thanks mate,

Well, I really think having a place where newcomers can get some inspiration could be helpful, the more you know the better it is

First post on here, came to open this same discussion - thank you for a great thread

I'm still working out my own strategy, which will be around a couple of thousand staggered over the next few months, but I am thinking something like this:

$1000:
- $300 - ICOs - pick 2 for $150 each, and lock them away for a year.
- $500 - Buying newer low-value coins with interesting/useful tech or applications - monitor more frequently, and extract some of this capital while holding a majority (perhaps 30/70)
- $200 - More established / growing coins for shorter-term gains / trading - much more frequent activity, extract some FIAT, reinvest rest (30/70)

I may well lose the last $200 quite quickly - I am OK with this as a learning fee

While I want to be able to extract some money from the whole thing, I want to build a longer term portfolio too, hence the split.

No coins or tokens specified yet, as I'm in the early stages of research, and the learning curve is quite steep. Fun though!

[Norcal2020]

I'm a bit more on the aggressive side and for long term investments, would lean this way with the allocated $1000.

-$400 KuCoin (KCS) ("dividend" returns to coin holders based on Kucoin's success)
-$300 Dragonchain (DRGN) Dev team and direction looks very positive (Kucoin)
-$300 Simple Token (OST) Product and team looks great and early days for this coin. (Binance)

Take profits above 50% gain, with each coin, and in invest in some of the Dragonchain ICO programs happening this year.

My 0.000002 BTC.

[arnoldpredator]

I would purchase some Wabi, looks solid.

[spring07]

For me, i will do 50% ETH , 25% WABI , 25% XRP.
These coins have shown a considerable and consistent growth in the past weeks.
