if I had that kind of money, I wouldn't risk asking people I don't know where to invest it, do a market analysis yourself and make a decision, because the amount is not small. I would pay attention to projects with their own blockchain and the top 10 CMC.
I think that's why he was asking because they don't know how to do the analysis and need help from experts people that already have much experience in crypto investment.
Then after sort some comments, he could the analysis from the suggestion comments. That's the best thing to do before doing a big investment besides doing own analysis.
I agree of what you are saying. Theres nothing wrong about asking a question and i think that is normal for a newbie to ask because he dont know how to do the analysis. Sometimes we need help and suggestions for others in order for us to learn something or to become knowledgeable. And thats the number one strategy that we need to gain before doing an investment.
