I think the question needs to be more specific.. Do you mean within the crypto space or any form of investment. My candid opinion is diversification of portfolio..If this is all you hold from the crypto space I will advice you liquidate Into other investment options which are not as volatile as cryptocurrencies in order not to be overdependent on market upturn for profits..
I'm not putting all my money in one basket If that's what you are asking. I'm looking for something within the crypto space and I'm aware of the risks. These 10,000$ is something I could live without.
I am currently re-entering into crypto after big pause and had the same question on my mind. With some random research I believe that nothing has changed in the crypto world.
Its just having that stagnancy in it and growing too slowly. Before leaving the crypto I took shot with hardware mining and it is going just way smoothly than I expected.
The only hard thing with the mining investment is you need to have lot of patience. After sloppy slap of ethereum price I'm bit in loss but over the time it'd come up I know.
You can put your money at stake in differnet curencies but that did not go well to me since a year now.
Literally there are huge piles of altcoins I'm holding and none of them gave me good paychecks. So you can count on hardware mining for longer goals.
Ethereum is switching to POS from what I read, so it would be a waste of money to invest into GPUs right now. As for other mining options, most of the time, the GPUs used for mining are not available here in my country. If I buy them abroad, it will cost me much more for shipping, not to mention the risk of having them seized because of the customs.
