I have $4,000 to invest in altcoins . Im looking to initially invest for the short-term to boost up my money by mid year or sooner then go for a long-term invest after that. Any suggestions on which coins for the short term? long term?
The short-short term: Bitcoin (BTC). & diversify
The short-term: Monetha (MTH). & diversify
The long-term: Ether, Kyber Network (KNC), Raiden Network (RDN), Eidoo (EIDOO), all with Bitcoin (BTC) to diversify (often when BTC and other alt-coins have a negative correlation in price).
Even for boosting your money - make sure you diversify, instead of following just one or two or three coins. I am guessing that the worst outcome for you would be to invest your $4k and not only not boost up your money, but see continuous losses throughout the entire year because you backed the wrong horse.
