How to invest 8000$

[kotajikikox]

Right timing for you investing this time in the dip of price is an opportunity to to got good profits for ling term hold, i advice to use you 8k$ spread it into the different kind of altcoins of your half of your initial investment and the remaining buy bitcoin. Just only am advice the decision is yours.

8000k usd nowadays may seem like a huge amount of money for some of people

But in reality this is a type of sum that won't change in any way shape or form your life

In order "to win in this" you've got to play it on a riskier side

For example - find a gem project like it was Antshares(or NEO nowadays) and go all in

Todays crypto marketcap is peanuts comparing to other markets. We are in a very early stage right now.

Me myself I found such a project. Key - is having USP (unique selling proposition). What does this project bring to market?

Take Spectrecoin


Do your own research to understand why, but main reason is a possibility of staking while staying completely anonymous receiving anonymous stakes - new Stealth Staking algo or Proof-of-Stealth
Putting 8000$ could make you millions given the right adoption and awareness, since tech is solid

Alternatively you could safely buy Bitcoin (and make let's say x2,5 if it goes back to ATH)

Investing this money or buying a used car is everyones's own choice

the first question is "how familiar are you with this market?" based on your comment specially the point #5 and the fact that you say you want to buy and hold a  bunch of coins, i assume you have no idea how this market works.

so my suggestion is that you should first hang around in the market for a couple of months. and most important of all you should try to see the history of different  coins. check their charts in the long run like for a couple of years and see how they have been changing.
try to figure out why each coin rises and falls (aka pumps and dumps) and try to take advantage of that if you want profit.

Im in crypto since september 2017 and reading articles, forums, even global economics everyday, as well learning on technical analysis on a daily basis.

Maybe we didnt understand quite well. I meant that BTC is not technologicaly advanced compared to some other coins and not generaly. And i never said i want to buy bounch of coins...im thinking of geting BTC and 2 or maybe 3 ALTS in top 30 and 2 smallcap coins. And when i say hold for 2 years i didn mean to hold it nomatter what, im gonna definatly sell if i see an upcoming correction.

Based to my resarch im definatly going in
BTC
NEO



Cant decide on
ETH, ADA, LUMENS, IOTA
NULS, NANO, DEEPONION, ICON, XSPEC, VECHAIN, ZILIQA, LISK, 0X, KMD, SONM, POA, BNB and probabaly alot more good coins

There are lots of good coins, but im afraid there is not room for all

Im investing in max 6 to 7 coins

If I had to settle on 7 coins it would be  
BTC(split the % you wanted to go in with BNB also, it acts as a stable coin these days with also great upside since BNB is poised to be the #1 exchange)
then a large chunk in
 NEO ONT(you ll miss dearly if you like NEO but dont invest in ONT at this point)
then a privacy coin either Zcash/Monero if you want it to be a large cap or ZEN if you want a smaller yet solid pick
then 1 or 2 killer ETH tokens with my top2 being 0x and Augur(REP)
then you can go either way either hedge your portfolio with some solid platform pick, albeit a less exciting one, like ETH/ADA/XLM/IOTA/EOS or
go a bit deeper in the rabbit hole with a lower % on things like NEBL/WAN/ARK.

if I want to invest now such a great deal is very good, especially at this market price all the coins are low priced. And once you have a long term trader you will be very serious about your future money.

[vastmast]

8000 dollars is a pretty good money. I think you should not invest for a one coin and divide your investment into several parts. Buy bitcoin, ethereum, neo, vet and docademic. You can earn huge amounts of money

[ineedpivo]

Now I would advise you not to buy anything, since the market is falling and the best solution is just to buy bitcoin, it will always be valuable and when the market starts to grow, it will grow in the first place

[hemendrachauhan19]

You should invest in different types of coins and projects. I suggest to look this article where different types of projects and different categories of coins are explained - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4964722

It must be very important info for you! I have found one very promising platform named TalentSnap, it’s very professional and forward-looking. It is built on Ethereum Blockchain, all the conception of this project provides a high level of security and a great effectiveness in hiring process. It could find a perfect fit between any candidate and employer for seconds! I’ve joined TalentSnap Pre-ICO Sale and got 40% bonuses, you can do the same!

XSPEC https://spectreproject.io Amazing technology, energy-saving pic (5-15% per annum).Absolutely working product. Active team of developers and managers. A wonderful community. The price is about $ 0.3 that with a total of 21,000,000 coins at the onset of a bullish trend is easy to overcome the previous peak of$6. This investment is quite risky, but it can give you in the future X50-100.
XLM is more stable and predictable, but also potentially less profitable, I'm sure during the year it will bring a minimum of X3-5, as well as ETH and BTC. Divide your money - half or so invest in the BTC , it will give you confidence, the rest invest in more risky assets as they will give you a higher return in return. This is all with due careful study of the market and products. After all, everyone here will advise what you like personally to someone, you need to study yourself.
And of course, do not invest in crypto more than you can afford to lose.

Invest 20% in UBEX, 10% in POLY, 10% in XRP, 10% in BTC, 10% in ETH, 10% in BCH, 10% in ZIL, 10% in IAG, 10% in FTEC and you are done. Just sell at the right time

Well, in my opinion it is better to buy coins at cheap prices, namely today is just the time. Or maybe I do not understand something? In any case, it is better to pay attention to more rated coins in order to have a better percentage of confidence.

This thread is a little bit older now, but now certainly is a good time to be stocking up on coins/tokens that you see potential in. I have too many that I want to get bags of but alas, only so much money to buy them all! 

If using the $8000 like the OP asked, you certainly want to have a mix between large, medium and small caps. 

Small cap I'm (as some have also mentioned) mostly looking at Spectrecoin (XSPEC) as I see a bright future for it in the privacy space. Might take until 2019 or 2020, but I see it as a long term play specifically. 

Mid cap coins I'm looking at ENG, QASH, WAN, WABI, RHOC, 0x and some others.

Large cap at these prices are almost guaranteed to bring you profit with patience, just not as large of multipliers as the small-mid cap. EOS can be good to snag some free airdropped tokens, however there is always some FUD around it too, the good thing is it never really hurts the price.

I guess the guy who left this post here in June, has already invested his 8 thousand. If the other people think where they can spend the money, I would recommend buying Cardano and Lisk.

Hi
Im thinkimg of investing about 8k$.

Please suggest a relative safe but also with big gain potencial coins. Im investing for 1-2 years, maybe longterm if crypto market and blockchain shows mainstream adoption.

1.However i do like privacy coins i dont think it will show big pptencial due to goverment regulations, they will not allowd people to have conpletly anonymous transaction. However i could be wrong.
2. I think platform coins have potencial, ETH, NEO, ADA, EOS...coins should have real life chances to be used, so there cannot be problems with scalability...etc...3rd Generation platform coins? Could that be first realy usefull platforms for mainstream?
3. Lots of smallcap coins show potencial and i like them, however i dont wanna become bagholder.
4.large supply coins are harder to pump also harder to dump, but i think people are avoiding them, my thoughts are that relative short term are not bringing lots of profit, especialy established coins like XRP...how to pump xrp 10x, almost imposibble.
5.BTC is in my opinion only as investment fund, dont think its tehnologicaly advanced and real life use. Biggest advantage of btc is that it was first.
6. My future predictions for crypto are: BTC will gain alot in few years, it will go mainstream as an speculative investment for ordinary people, therefor banks will offer btc investments funds, retiremend funds...goverment and global economics will adopt reallife use of blockchain. Large country willl have its own regulated cryptocurencys, and when i say regulated i mean completly tracable and transparent coins, coins that will be artificuly maintainig its price. No real life use coin for pyment cant have 20% volatility. Platform coins will survive, probably few of them and all will have its own market. ETH for conservative companys, NEO for mainstream, ADA for tehnogicaly advanced. Privacy coins will have problems with goverment, regulations, ban...it will be used but small percent of people really need real privacy coins. I dont care if i buy a coffe with privacy coin or with btc, im not hiding anything.

What are your thougts?
Which coins are good gain potencial in 1 to 2 years?
How would you invest 8k$?
I probably wont invest anythong more in few years than that 8k. However if i loose everything im not gonna die, i can afford to lose it.

Please suggest

Thank you

The most important thing in your words is that you are willing to risk and are not afraid to lose all the coins and money. This is the most important. If I were you, I would invest more than one year in ready-made coins. For example bitcoin, Ethereum, Nem, Neo, ADA ,bitcoin cash, these coins can be invested and I know that in 1-2 years the growth will be accurate.

[bitekoin]

Just check out the solid ICOs (forget about the obvious scams, these are expected in such decentralised techs) with a great team, promising and solid tech.
For example Eterbase, which will have a new exchange approach with an innovative matching algorithm, among other benefits.
To me, ETH is the chain with the best investors, team and tech, even with the scaling issues. But this year you will see that other coin ICOs will come out as well challenging this position, making the ICO ecosystem even richer.

[bananadence]

It is not the small sum for investment. You chose probably the most successful moment for investment into cryptocurrency. Now all coins in the market cost little very much. But be careful, spend time and study all documentation of the project. If you do not plan to invest in projects at ICO stage, and want to buy already existing coins which bargain at the exchange, then I advise to choose from the first hundred on coinmarketcap.com
