How To ...... How to invest in the crypto market with 1000 EURO?


Hello dear friends of cultivated investing. Today there is a post for all crypto bros and those who might want to become one (so don't just keep scrolling 😉 ) @MrBlueSky
@PowerWordChill
@DonkeyInvestor and all the others I have forgotten


I would like to know from you how you would start investing in crypto (or rather in everything except BTC / ETH) today. The budget is, let's say for the sake of simplicity, 1000 EUR. You don't want to just beat the MSCI World 😉 but as usual make 5-10 x or more in the next 4-5 years.


Which strategies would be your favorites?


Investing in Narrative AI, DePin, Memes, Gaming, BRC 20 and Modularity or something completely different?


What should be the maximum number of positions? 3, 5 or 10? What would be a possible allocation for you?


And what do you think of the following basic allocation:


Option 1:

20% low risk (1 "blue chip" from the above narratives)

30% mid risk ( 1 mid cap altcoin)

50% high risk ( 2x Altcoins < 500 Mio Mkt Cap, 1x Meme Coin)


You are welcome to comment on which coins exactly would come into question. For my part, I'm still undecided and would let you know in a follow-up post.

I would like to dive a little deeper into the game to understand how things work here.


I hope it's interesting for one or the other besides me.

BTC Only is the only right way.

In terms of the crypto portfolio, 80% BTC and ETH.
And find your own narrative for the remaining 20%. You will have to rummage through the multitude of meaningful and meaningless coins and tokens and either you see an investment case or not.
I have opted for interoperability between blockchains. I see this as an absolute necessity in the future, as it is still being left out of the current bull run.

Now just old coins because the BTC bull movement has already happened, so eth has already achieved a lot.

I think btc-> 90k, eth new ath and then hold at a slightly lower level and old smaller coins will come. There is a lot more air but also more risk because of the bubble.

Good luck :)

4 to 5 years is quite a long time in the crypto space but with lending and staking you can work in such a period .... For example, I added oraichain to my portfolio in September and am now already at 7x

Well, it's hard to say how many positions....

In terms of portfolio allocation, I would generally recommend: 65-80% large caps (>1 billion), 25-30% and 5% small/&micro caps. BUT, it also depends on when you start investing. Even more so than in the stock market, it is the large caps that rise first. As the rally matures, more and more capital rotates out of the large caps and into the small caps. In the final phase of the bull run, it is the micro caps that undergo completely grotesque price spikes - so only 5% of the portfolio is enough here. ..... therefore makes perfect sense to invest in BTC and Eth at the beginning of the run. Surprisingly, the current bull run was led by Solana. But you have to understand that the demand for Solana was driven by the memes - we will see how sustainable that will be. I like and hold Solana but I would definitely not buy it at a market cap of 80MRD. Instead, I would rather look to add the crypto's that have proven to generate a lot of interest to the portfolio. I.e. depin and ai, gaming and, as sorry as I am to have to recognize and accept this myself: meme coins. We are still early in the bull run but we are no longer at the beginning - with Solana there will be no more 10x from here. With good large caps that have not yet made a significant run, this is still easily achievable. I'll refrain from mentioning ICP here, but I see HBAR at USD 1.5-2 in a year's time. The absolute high-flyers so far have been Akash and Render and various other coins in the cloud computing or gpu power-providing sector. There is a banging use case here in a market area that will expand seemingly without limits. AETHIR will launch in the next few days. Aethir essentially does what Render and Akash promise, only with significantly more compute power and therefore cheaper. The best thing is that the intial market cap will be around USD 750 million - given the extremely high general interest, I think the coin will rise very quickly. There will be a whole flood of new coins during and after the halving, which, if the bull run is similar to the last one, will offer the highest returns - yes, in the crypto space people love "the new and shiny" and often only for a short time. 99.99% of all cryptos are not buy and hold! ....in volatile markets it is essential to buy and sell in the bear market if even the last skeptic wants to get in - this is where the rabbit is in the hole. One would think that it would be easy in the Kyoto market, as it has offered an almost perfect 4-year rhythm so far. However, it is not easy to "let go" when you have become "accustomed" to 10% per day. Now we are no longer in the bear market, so you should be careful to find good entries. Never buy what is being hyped. Capital rotates - from layer ones to Depin to games to memes, etc., and vice versa. Always invest in the area that is not in demand. I would currently build up my gaming position. Crypto profits don't want to be taxed - so it's about time to be in the market. Apart from price targets that I have set myself, there is one date on which I am definitely out. It's not important to hit the top of the market - you won't make it anyway. It's important to make substantial profits in order to start the next bull run with more capital. The resulting performance in combination with the tax advantage beats any equity portfolio. Cryptos that I have on my radar and that I will possibly switch to, which have not yet been launched - Aethir, Eigenlayer, Fuel network, RDYX, IO.net, Peaq, Gensyn, Caldera, Eclipse. As a memecoin I will add Coq Inu to my portfolio - I don't like meme coins but you have to listen when the market speaks. I know ICP is hated by most people because almost all investors have burned their fingers on this coin. However, ICP is the best product on the market in terms of technology. The opportunity lies in getting in before the other market participants realize or understand it. However, I have to concede that this may well take another cycle.

I would consider the 1000 euros as lost and only go into mid/small caps for high returns. I would then pick out 3 projects and invest in each of them straight away. The question you should still ask yourself is how you want to deal with the tax and, above all, it's best to set exit prices before investing or draw up an exit strategy. Only everything you hold for more than 1 year is tax-free and the chances that the current bull run, which has been going on for a while now, will last longer than 1 year are very low, which is why you should sell within 1 year if you don't want to lose 90% of your investment (not tax-free).

Without BTC and ETH, it doesn't matter what you invest in. Maybe @TradingMelone has a good tip

I have actually decided to put €1000 into altcoins as a pure gamble, or more precisely €100 into one altcoin at a time. What I once did was to list various "recommendations" and note them all in my own watchlist. They are all top 100 coins. The next step is to take a look at the market cap and how far away from the ATH it is. The focus is on AI and gaming + absolutely pointless coins. But as I said, pure gamble...in the long run they will all disappear. What I haven't thought about yet is when to get out if it actually goes up 🫣
