Thanks everybody for the tips, very appreciate it.

You are right ShroomsKit_Disgrace, but I never thought that the coins will go that high :O ...since I am still only able to exchange within Kraken (withdraw blocked) I can't trade that much. Made a little bit with BTC -> ETH -> BTC, but thats it. I hope Kraken will activate my withdraw option soon to be able to trade on Poloniex.

I would wait some days till monero s LL and start getting up again. I would put most of the money in monero, it has big volume, great community, top support and many updates will follow.
Also investing some amount in BTC won't be a bad idea. LTC and ETH for short-mid time investments will also be a good idea. But keep in mind that most TOP altcoins, besides monero, are ATH, so they may go down soon. ...i would wait some days/weeks for altcoins.

Thank you very much to everyone. I'm glad that my "analysis" was correct on the altcoins. I already have withdrawn all the 350eur to BTC for now and will wait a bit now.
Also withdrawing BTC from Kraken isn't working at the moment (?) so I have to wait anyways.

Greetings and have a nice day,

Hi guys,

I'm pretty lost right now because I can't see any altcoin that is worth investing at the moment, besides maybe Monero.
They all seem to go up and all look like they will be at ATH soon.

So I have 350 eur in Kraken, what would you do? ...wait till there is a breakout at BTC?

If you see something I would be happy if you can explain why you think it's worth investing/trading.
I watched some videoy on youtube how to make technical analysis but can't see a single altcoin that looking good to jump in at the moment.
They are all rising, but I assume they will go down again soon.

buhhh... 

BitcoinHolder, thank you very much for the detailed explanation. 

Hello,

I'm completely new to trading and just funded my Kraken account with 350 EUR to play around / to try.

Now I want to invest in btc/altcoins. I'm wondering which way would be the best. Go from EUR to BTC and then to altcoin (XMR, XRP, ETH, DASH, LTC) or directly from EUR to altcoins?

I'm a bit confused because of the graphic here:

I hope I'm understanding this chart correctly.

The blue line tells me the actual "amount" of ETH.
The green line shows how much USD would 1 ETH cost.
The orange line shows how much BTC would 1 ETH cost.

Now the orange line is way beneath the ETH line, which means that you get less BTC for 1 ETH then it would be if the line would be higher.

So If I already have BTC now, I could get more USD out if ETH then going USD -> ETH -> USD, right?

I would be thankful if someone could give me some explanaition, or corrects me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

Thank you all for the answers.

I just transfered 350 EUR to my Kraken-account. Also I created accounts @ Bittrex, Cryptopia, C-Cex, Lykke Exchange and Poloniex.

It's only 350 because it doesn't hurt me when I lost some of it, also I feel better when using a small amount for first time trading.

Now how to proceed further? Which software is recommended?

I would like to create a portfolio with 2-3 cryptos for long-mid time investment and 2-3 for short trades.

For long-mid term I have BTC - ETH - LTC - XMR  --- which one would you prefer?
For short term trading I'm not sure, but maybe NXS, LYKKE, WAVES, PIVX, DASH, STRATIS, FTC, TORCOIN

I would be thankful if you can give me some advice which would fit the best for now.

Thanks in advance,
Mareksh

Hello,

I'm completely new to the market, had some BTC years ago but sadly sold it way too early.
Now I want to start again with investing / trading of bitcoin and/or altcoins.
The cryptocurrency market is huge now, there are so many coins I never heard of.

Can you help me clearing things up? What coins are good for investment / trading at the moment?

I want to buy some for long time investment but also for short time trading.

Thanks,
Mareksh
