Which cryptocurrency should I invest in, in 2018? Why?

[Aveatrex]

I’m going to be accumulating the majority of the coins below over the course of 2018 Q1—I’m a big believer in a diversified portfolio.

Especially in crypto.

I split coins into 3 tiers. Coins in tiers 1 & 2 I will be continuously adding to my holdings throughout Q1.

I based these tiers on my investment strategy, I highly suggest creating a strategy before investing in anything.

You need to have a goal that you’re working towards, and a framework for how you want to reach that goal.

My goal is to increase my holdings of Tier 1 & 2 coins, by trading coins from tier 3 on a short-medium time frame (2–6 months).

I also margin trade Tier 1 & 2 coins and use profits to increase my overall $BTC position.

Don’t margin trade.

It’s bad.

Not margin trading is rule #8 in my “10 Crypto Commandments”.

Some of these coins I don’t believe in as long term investments.

Most of the time, the criteria I use to pick coins starts fundamentally with the team, roadmap, and community.

Once I’ve deemed a coin as “Fundamentally Strong”, I then go into the charts and apply Technical Analysis to determine if I can get a solid entry point.

Sometimes, I’ll see a coin I don’t think will last in the long run, but the chart is just too pretty to say no. I will denote these coins with an [X] by their name.

Cliche Disclaimer: none of this is financial advice, don’t even listen to me, I’m a random person on the internet — I could be full of sh*t and you wouldn’t know it.

Do your own research and only ever invest what you can afford to lose.

Tier 1

Bitcoin ($BTC)

I always hold at least a little BTC. Bitcoin is the market leader, and until that changes, I will always hedge against my Altcoin investments with Bitcoin. I typically have any where from 10–30% of my portfolio in Bitcoin depending on Bitcoin dominance at that time.

Bitcoin dominance refers to the percentage of the total cryptocurrency market share which is held by Bitcoin. You can check the live stat here.

The link also shows the market dominance of the other major coins on the market- spend some time getting to know the chart and notice how coins market caps correlate negatively or positively with each other.

Understanding the market cycles of crypto is pivotal to successful investing.

Tier 2

Neo ($NEO) & Ethereum ($ETH)

ETH and NEO are competitors. They solve the same problems, are both serious coins with large market caps, and I hold both as long term investments.

I’m not hedging against my bets by investing in competitors. It’s feasible to me that these two entities could co-exist in the future in a fashion similar to how Apple and Samsung coexist.

To be honest,I never saw a coin that exploded like Nano/Raiblocks.It's a good project supported by many people,give it a look you may be interested in investing some money on it.Just see the chart you will understand what I'm talking about.

PS:This is just an advice,I'm not responsible fo your trades.

I believe Ethereum to be the best coin for a long term investment. Though the coin is highly volatile and too risky, it has a lot of potential and can lead to good gains in a short period of time.
Since its origin in 2015, the coin has shown increase by 1100%. In the last year itself it showed profit gains by 3700%. Now the coin holds a strong market capital of $59.8 billion and since acceptance by big companies like Microsoft, has seen a shoot in its market value and hence can cross the $1500 mark by the end of 2018.

This year, you need to be very cautious about investing in crypto-currencies. Recently, a lot of failed ICOs or mice, you only need to invest in a proven team.

[buy-it]

I salute your planing strategy and Trading techniques you are about applying. But the fact remains, no one can actually gives you the hundred percent assurance of any coin that shall undoubtedly moon because of their volatility that are unpredictable. Just work with your mind as you are about doing. My strong advise however is for you not to bite more than what you can chew and ensure you wear the Cardigan of risk in any case anything backfires. Good luck.

The best option to invest is bitcoin only.Since it is the leading cryptocurrency and is the most valuable and expensive cryptocurrency in the market we should definitely invest in it.It gives huge amount of returns and profit rates in a short period of time.It has made many people rich.Even billionaires invest in Bitcoin because they know about the profit returns.People hold their bitcoins and save them for future price rise.People buy bitcoins too and sell them to earn money.

[DeadCoin]

Choose few best top listed coins which will bring genuine profits in a short term. You can even look at coins that are less than $10 where you can buy en number of coins which will bring more profits in a long term.  If one coin does loose it's value,  the another coin would yield you a good profits. Think in investing in tokens with best projects,  teams and etc.

-You able to struct your own analysis
-You able to choose your preferred coins
-You have your own reasoning for your actions

Just trust your analyzation and hope that the progress will be good on the way.

Also applied to other persons that looking for a good coins to put their money by getting a direct advice to others. Different people have different set of coins in their portfolio try to make an own lists. It's fun and thrilling to make our own analyzation. So again, put trust on whatever strategy we will plan to execute.

[cryptobluemoon]

i would suggest u to invest in Eth Neo Iota Eos and Tron all these coins have potential to touch 5 times growth

[Piesel]

I think that you should invest your money in bitcoin. By asking people on this forum, I believe that you do not have a big knowledge about the cryptocurrency. Therefore, bitcoin is the most suitable coin for you. IT is safe and there is no danger in holding bitcoin. And it is easy to have profit with bitcoin

Does that even benefit you in any way? Does it work? 🤔 based on my own experience, the price of other cryptocurrencies usually go down whenever the price of Bitcoin is going down,, so what do you really gain from that? Okay, it also goes up when that of Bitcoin is going up, but they don’t stand a chance to compete cause their prices are too low, and you know that means you won’t be making much profit.

[bozo333]

These are all potential coin but current scenario all the coins are fluctuating in the market so Better invest in Bitcoin this will grow surely and some peoples are recently supporting to NEO and Ethereum so these two coins are good supporting coin. My suggestion is longterm investment is good for any promising coin.

[maarx]

I would suggest you to choose minimum 5 best coins. Split your investment into few parts. Choose 2 coins with high rates like Bitcoin and Etherium, then choose 2 coins with cheapest rates below $10. Then choose the best ICO tokens and invest as much as you can. This is the best move you can do as a trader. One or the other coin would bring huge profits for sure. You may be surprised to see the profits you gain from all above coins down the line.

well, I'm also investing in these altcoins (ETH and NEO), because they give me more security in relation to other projects and of course I'm investing in bitcoin. Who bought ETH when the price was still higher should be in despair at a time like these, because the price is not rising

You have QLC AND MTH both are gonna launch mainnet at the end of this month and they are at really good price right now .

In the thread of these 2 projects there are only people saying that the project is not being done in a good way and even I read a little I must agree with this line of thinking

See:

Monetha will be speaking at the biggest Tech and Innovation conference in the Baltic States, LOGIN 2018. Event starts on Friday. Meet you there!

https://www.login.lt

What will you talk about ?
- How to fuck up whole project ?
- How to cheat community ?
- How to create a WP promising X delivering 1/2 of A ?
- How you developed a clumsy app where you need to find an item u wanna buy on some OTHER marketplace and than convice seller to use monetha, and give u his number and blablabla in 2018 ?

PPL on facebook wanted to buy a bike or laptop and than realize there is no marketplace and the app is usless. Go read the comments its a fuckin joke

The number of crypto currencies on the coinmarketcap is outrageous and most people find it very difficult in choosing which crypto to invest in the year 2018. To be able to take such a discussion, one need to be very conversant with each coin and study how the market seems to trend always. To me, I would like to invest in Ethereum, EOS and Bitcoin. The reason being that I am used to trading with these coins and I know much about them.

[Olivier_crypto]

Depends on what you want. If you want more gains you need more risk. Most would advice the big coins like BTC and ETH and then take part of your money and put it in coins that are less known and have maybe bigger potential.

[coinwizard_]

I like your strategy of putting spare into btc/eth/neo all of which are steady risers and a safe investment. NEO also collects GAS tokens to increase your coin portfolio so it should not be replaced with other competitors.

[Blue Bell]

Bitcoin is the best answer. Then you can invest in NEO or EOS. I also heard SKRAPS is a good token for investing in 2018. Current price is low but will increase soon.

Of course for me the answers is one and only bitcoin I think no coin has potential to get higher than bitcoin, till now bitcoin was said to be the low price coin, the low price coin so it was just time for us to buy and hold, a lot of people including me have bought at low price but now it is time for us to get our output and till the end of 2018 bitcoin will rise sky high in price and in demand as well’ so I am in favor of bitcoin only.

[green_fish]

With the price drop, BTC's price is around $6,800. Now investing in BTC is a good choice!
Several ETHs are less than $550. Many icos need to pay with ETH. Don't forget ETH in the list of investments!

[keninu]

Ethereum and EOS are the right choice, you can divide your investment in these two coins. Half for Ethereum and the other half for EOS. so whenever one of these coins is speeding you will not lose, because you invest in two coins that I think will be a rivalry in the future.

[boyz97]

personally i am prefer IOTA. this coins have good technology and development.even in some article it said that iota make partnership with famous company in germany.
