Investing 1000 dollars in...

Investing in Monero right now is like buying Bitcoin in 2010 -

No.  It's not.

Bitcoin was the only one of it's kind.  It invented cryptocurrency.  Monero is not inventing cryptocurrency for the first time - it's competing on a field of dozens of altcoins & several "anon coins"

Here's a FUD thread I created for it.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=783471.40

I agree XMR is the only interesting thing around right now.  But to state that it's "like investing in bitcoin in 2010" could just as easily be said for any altcoin.

It DOES have it's major pro's - but don't be blind.

*Disclaimer.  I'm a proud XMR owner & the only alt I care about outside of BTC (& LTC a little)

I'm not looking for opinions on a ton of different alts. I have 1k to spend in alt coins and I decided I will either go with Pandacoin or Dogecoin. Please don't tell me to buy BTC as I am a early investor and have all I want. what coin out of these two would you choose. I AM prepared to lose this money so if either of these coins fail it wont bother me and I am planing on holding them for years. Help me gamble guys!     

Since you already have lots of bitcoin, why not just use some bitcoin and convert it to alt-coin. But anyway darkcoin is the best!!

The money I'm investing IS from my BTC stock and I am already invested in darkcoin.

I suppose what I mean by that statement is that the risk involved in buying XMR right now is similar to buying BTC when it was $1. It could very well go to zero but the potential reward in my opinion is much greater than buying any other coin - crypto long term (1-4 years).

what OS are you working on?

windows 8.1 
They do mention stock windows is a pain.

i'd walk you through it myself but i've only done it on osx and linux. let me find some help for you though!

I found a great youtube tutorial that will walk we through everything. Thanks for being so helpful and Thank you ALL for your suggestions.
P.S. This forum needs a "karma" button or Thumbs up button of some sort. This "trust" and status BS is just so commercial! We need more love on this site!!!

Buy cannabis coin, seems like the hottest coin right now.

Buy cannabis coin, seems like the hottest coin right now.

I don't like what it stands for and it will most likely die because people buy drugs with bitcoin,litecoin and most likely dogecoin very soon.
I just don't see it being a good investment.

My (newbie) vote would be Doge.  Network effects rule.

And that is why I'm going with Dogecoin! The only hesitation I have is the number of them out there.
They will most likely never reach the value of BTC but either will litecoin... That being said... Even if they hit $1 in the distant future I will still be able to make a good amount of money.

If you want my advise .1btc

I was in your exact position about 3 months ago, I gave myself 6 months to turn $1000 into $2000. My journal is here:

Skip to the last post to see my latest updates.

I have nearly doubled my amount in BTC in ~3months from coins that give you a % of interest every week to two weeks. They are called POS coins and you recieve interest by just keeping your wallet open which helps secure the network. Some of the profit was from trading but most of it was from the % interest I received from each coin. I would recommend Hobonickels, Bottlecaps and Hyperstake. I would buy the others at current prices but not hyperstake, get it a bit cheaper as the market is starting to stabilise now. These coins wont get you rich in a week but they have provided consistent safe returns for me so far. Just my 2cents, Goodluck.

I would recommend doge ,suffice it to say that many traders are in green

[btcxyzzz]

Don't throw away your money with Panda or Doge, invest in some seriously good stuff like NeosCoin or BitsharesX is.
