There needs to be clarification about few things and the first one is for how long you are willing to hold crypto currency after investing $10K ? The second most important thing which crypto currency exactly? Whether it is bitcoon itself or any other altcoin you wishing to invest in.

Now, why this is important,? Because periodic terms will explain you how much you can get inreturns by considering the fact that bitcoin (for example) will be rising in the price for sure so proportionally your savings will rise many times. This change will be huge as your investing big amount too. The second thing about which coins will tell you probability of your success. For example, altcoins are not much sure about success as who knows they will collapse in the future but bitcoin may not!!

So its huge investment and you must think these things before you proceed. :-)
