I am a newbie and would like to invest $1000 to start. I have read that I should put 40 percent into bitcoin and diversify the other 60 percent. I need opinions, advice, and anything from those with experience of positive value. 
Investing is good but their are something you need to understand before you go into Investing. You need to understand it is not right for you to invest all that you have just because you want to make money from cryptocurrency, you need a steady source of income that won't be a distraction to your cryptocurrency investment, cryptocurrency is not a quick money making scheme. Investing in cryptocurrency requires patience, you need to be prepared for the volatility you will come in contact with in the market, your ability to be patient is what will keep you going in Investing cryptocurrency.
