Just invest in other coins. Many of these are less than $5 dollar a coin and are easier to see 3x-5x profits. These coins will rise in price in the future as they are the next phase of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is just the first to hit the market.

Also many other coins are used for innovative utilities instead of just being another currency like Bitcoin.

Etherum
Chainlink ($0.18 right now!)
Ark (you can use Ark's wallet to get free additional Ark every week!)
IOTA

Yeah, I would like to buy some of the cheaper ones, but the only way I've figured out to buy anything at all is Coinbase, which only lets you do bitcoin, etherium, and litecoin.

Our currency is backed by the government. There's extremely low risk of that collapsing. What makes this currency more valuable than dollars? To me, it just seems like a hype train waiting to crash since there's nothing backing up its insane value. It doesn't offer much.

1. Get on Coinbase. Download the app on your smartphone. 
2. Enter your bank account or credit card details.
3. Buy Bitcoin. Ethereum is a better investment imo.

Its that easy. And you can do it all on your phone. 

But what about all the other smaller/newer coins, you say? Coinbase only has 3 different crypto coins. So you need to go elsewhere.

1. Get on Binance and make an account. Dont worry. You dont need to a bank account linked here. 
2. From Coinbase send Bitcoin to your account on Binance. 
3. When you have Bitcoin on your Binance acct, you can buy IOTA and other coins

tl;dr
1. Make Coinbase account
2. Buy coins.
3. Send BTC from your Coinbase BTC wallet over to another exchange's BTC wallet.
4. Use BTC to buy your favorite altcoin like Ark and Chainlink!

Want to cash out for USD? Sell you coins for BTC, send BTC back over to Coinbase, sell BTC for cash money.

While it isn't straight forward as just using Coinbase is, it's still easy.

Here's a visual guide.

Bitcoin crashes all the time and when that happens it bounces back. Its as worthless as gold but you can make money off it.

I would, but I don't know how to invest.

Also I remember when Mt. Gox got hacked a few years ago and investors lost everything. I'm not sure I would store my coins with an online third party. I would need to keep a wallet locally and I don't know how to do that

Tell me more

So not all cryptocurrency is actually used for currency like Bitcoin. Many coins are used as either stock for the company that's developing blockchain technologies, or it's used as a token within that technology. Ark for example is a bridge that will help connect different blockchains together to help move data more easily.

Here's an article explaining it better. Yes I own Ark so I want you to buy more but I also believe in the tech so w/e.

We will never see a hack like Mt. Gox again. There has been so much more security built into the exchanges now. 2FA, email comfirmations, etc.

You download the wallet program and send coins to it's address. That's it.
How would coins that can only be bought with bitcoin be affordable for the average person at this point?

I doubt these other coins can be bought in any kind of significant number with a fraction of a bitcoin and if you're buying a fraction of a bitcoin, wouldn't it be better to just keep that?

If you buy $100 worth of bitcoin now(at $10k), it would have to jump up to $20k before you double your profits.
If you put $100 worth of bitcoin into a coin that's $0.05, you only need for it to go to $0.10 for you to double that $100.
Lord knows if it hits $1...then you're looking at $2k from your $100 investment.

Yea this is the best advice you can get. That is how that Donut guy got so crypto rich. Only part of it from bitcoin. The majority of his profits are from 10 cent and under coins that shot up to $3. All it takes is a 3000 on a coin that is a penny and under. If it shoots up to $3 your coins would then be worth at least a million. If it just gets to $1. That 3,000 investment is worth $300,000

Obsidian is a good choice imo. Their rebranding happens on Dec 04 and their messenger app comes out on Christmas day. Price will probably hit like $2 or so by then (currently $.68)

Buy Eth off coinbase
Make account on Cryptopia
Exchange Eth for Bitcoin and then Bitcoin for Obsidian

It had a lot of hype at first then died down. Seen that with a lot of coins before. It's a long term investment definitely. It'll probably shoot up sometime next year.

Yes. From reddit:
Currently, the IRS treats cryptocurrencies as a property. This means they are subject to capital gains tax. Any time you make a trade, whether it be from crypto to crypto or crypto to FIAT, it is considered a taxable event. Even using your crypto to purchase items counts as a taxable event as well.
For the noobs, if you want to know which one coin is worth dumping all your money on, it's Ethereum (and it's conveniently on GDAX/Coinbase and Gemini).
Even if I just buy like one of each it might be a good idea in case this happens again.

Honestly IOTA. It was $0.40 a month ago and it's now $1.40. It's going to be a key player in the next year or so.

Chain link is going for $0.16 currently and will be another big coin if they fulfill what they are promising.

Here's another thing to consider. All of these coins are being bought on speculation. None of these coins have actual products yet. We're giving them value based on what the development teams have said they're working on and their progress so far.

Do you're own research because Clear and I are going to tell you what coins to buy based on our own beliefs. Of course we're going to tell you to get the coins we invested in. We want the price to rise. Lol

Start with this website. Ever coin has their own page with price history and what exchanges the coin is sold on. It also has links to the development teams websites so you can read their white papers on the product and decide for yourself.

    If the market crashes, the small online currencies will be hit the hardest, if past history is any indication.

    For example if you had bought stock in of the big tech companies like Microsoft or Intel in early 2000, you would have seen your money go down to something like 1/3 or 1/4 of what you invested. If you had bought stock in the tiny start-up companies, it would have gone down to zero.

    Don't put any money into crypto currency unless you're comfortable with possibly losing it.

    When the lightning Network rolls out allowing Bitcoin to make instant transactions that will eliminate the only advantage Litecoin has over Bitcoin, etherium at least does something completely different than Bitcoin and can stand along side it instead of try to compete against it. That being said litecoin is going to rise a bunch more before it does fall so you can still make money if you get out in time @Aeriis

    no, bittrex acts as its own wallet. however, if you accrue a valuable amount of a coin its safer to store it in private wallet account.

    Idk people thought it was going to dip hard at $10k based on previous trends. It barely dipped and continued to rise. Honestly, I'd focus on buying some other coins for bigger gains. I've sorta stopped buying BTC unless I'm using it to purchase altcoins.

    So I have a question. Is it normal for coinbase to ask for your address and job info?

    Coinbase/Gdax is probably the most reputable exchange

    I would recommend using Gemini instead of Coinbase considering if you want to avoid fees. Also use Binance instead of the other exchange service everyone here seems to recommend. Same reason, fees. Gemini and Binance won’t be as quick, but if you’re in it for the money you should avoid fees when possible.

    I can't speak for CoinBank specifically but desktop and phone wallets are not that safe (they are fine for low balances and short term solutions). Make sure you have the backup if you do use a mobile wallet in case you lose or break your phone.

    The best wallets are hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger, or cold storage offline computer wallets.

      So I've been reading that Coinbase has a fair fee for purchasing and GDAX is good to use. But you can't purchase BTC with GDAX right? You have to use Coinbase to purchase but then transfer to GDAX? But aren't you still getting hit with the purchase fees from Coinbase anyways?

      If you want to make fast buys, leaving the money in the USD wallet (or using a credit card) is better. Because if you buy via a bank account, you need to wait for the wire transfer to be complete first. It can take a few days. 

      It's been a while since I did a wire transfer so I don't remember if it locks in your purchase at the current price or if you'll need to wait for the transfer to be complete before you buy some. Proceed with caution.

      According to their website, 

      “When you click Buy or Sell, the price you receive is locked in at that moment, regardless of market fluctuations between executing the buy or sell and receiving the digital currency. The price can be volatile - by locking in the price you always know exactly what you paid for your digital currency.”

      It's correcting itself from the massive jump it had over the last week. ETH and LTC prices aren't as volatile as BTC. They've always had steady increases over time. Good long term hodling investments.

      Every single trade is a taxable investment where you pretend you sold the first crypto for cash then bought the second with that cash, gains of the first crypto against the basis point is either short or long term capital gains. 

      It gets worse, airdropped coins like BCH and BTG are considered ordinary income, so lets say BTG was worth $600 when you receive it, that is taxed as ordinary income, but then a week later it crashes to $150. Congratulations, you lost money by doing nothing. 

      Those above two scenarios though, nobody is going to report them because it's just not feasible. But you'd be a dumbass to skip out on paying taxes on cryptos you sell for cash transferred to your bank account.

      So you're only going to report on what you cashed out? Which I know you don't really cash out anything.

      Like I know what I'm supposed to do but idk if I should stress all of that "every single trade" bs. I was thinking of only reporting what I cash out into my bank account which is nothing so far.

      If it comforts you there are far too many trades for the IRS to monitor, and if you do report them you can report losses and any gains will decrease your tax burden in later years when you do cash out

      Considering they just partnered with Microsoft and offer a unique solution to scalability from BTC, yeah I'd say it's a safe investment, definitely worth holding in a well diversified portfolio.

      ETH and LTC are due for a massive correction upwards. Nornally I'd suggest something like 40% BTC, 40% ETH, 10% LTC, 10% alts, but in this circumstance I'd say go about 25% BTC, 50% ETH, 10% LTC, 15% alts 

      Good alts right now are Vertcoin, Monero, IOTA, and BAT
