Investing in an index fund is pretty much the safest investment strategy for normies in the regular stock market.

Would it therefore make sense to invest my funds in crypto like I would in an index fund: ie, spread out my funds across dozens of different coins and then just hold long term?

I don't have much money but I think I could convince my dad to invest maybe $10k spread across a few dozen coins. It would almost certainly make a decent profit just holding for a year or more. I looked back on coinmarketcap.com one year ago at the top 30 coins and 28/30 were higher in price today than they were a year ago, meaning my investment strategy would have been profitable if I had done it a year ago.

>Would investing in good crypto coins be profitable?

Yes retard, it certainly would.

Look into Bit20. It's an index fund that regularly rotates the top coins based on market cap, value, etc.

Check out this article:
http://woobull.com/data-visualisation-118-coins-plotted-over-time-this-is-why-hodl-alt-coin-indexes-dont-work/

I think it’s plausible that too much alt-coins currently are basically tending towards 0 because they don’t have solid fundamentals and will just run out of dev money.

IF you really want a "throw money in and dont look for years" product:
Either you go with BTC which is basically a kind of crypto index (market condition always hinges on BTC condition, at least for now; but BTC can always fall as the no1 crypto).
Or you hand-pick a number of solid cryptos that are developed by volunteers, ie. more technology than business.

I just got back from messing with my excel spreadsheet of prices.

If I had invested $1 spread equally into the top 30 coins from exactly 1 year ago, my $1 would now be worth $16. Not counting trade fees.

If had invested in just the top 20 coins, it would turn $1 into $17. And the top 10 coins alone would have turned $1 into $22.

In the top 30 coins from 1 year ago, the two best coins had multiples of more than 55x after a year. The two worst coins would have actually lost money.

It appears that investing into a good number of coins (at least 10-20) is a solid way to latch onto the overall trend of market growth, without risking the chance of accidentally only investing into a bad coin. However, investing into too many coins actually reduces your chances of making decent gains. Presumably because there are so many shitty coin scams out there.

I doubt it.
Compare crypto to penny stocks.
If i spread out my money into all of the penny stocks out there, in 10 years I would definitely have a -30% ROI.

There is a company that does this. They have their own "index funds" made up of coins. I forget the name of the token.

Get some:
BTC,ETH,LTC,XMR,DASH and you will do fine.
Wait for correction that will come next or during this weekend.

buy BLX from iconomi platform

>>3280885
yeah that's it.

They seen to have a decent platform. They make their holdings completely public though. Barring sudden changes I don't see much that's just keeping people from mirroring them.

Did you take the actual top 30 coins or the top 30 coins one year ago ?
