Ask HN: Bitcoin || Ether?
please write or upvote your choice for which best to buy as an investment.
Bitcoin has better infrastructure, much more fame, and much bigger community, is deflationary.
Why not diversify if you're not sure?
"Any ICO" is not a bad advice, just buy a few different ones. They seem to grow exponentially.
Track - most likely yes, unless you get some really obscure ICO. There are many free portfolio trackers, I use https://coin.fyi
"I'd recommend buying BTC, selling the swap on www.bitmex.com and getting the passive return in USD from the swap rate
..Or you could buy some BTC, some ETH, an 5-7 other coins in some ratio, set up all the wallets for them, and hold them in cold storage for 5 years you have a decent chance of out-performing the swap yield
you could buy 10% BTC, 10% ETH, 15% LTC, 15% ETC, 10% XMR, 10% of 4 others .. thing is that portfolio could go down 50% or 70% before it goes up 300%...
you could also have that portfolio and have 40% in dollarized BTC..
having 40% hedged and earning say 30% a year really helps to limit your downside and it also means you have dry powder to buy the next big down-turn.
"
are you suggesting that any ico has the same ROI potential?
