Hard to give suggestions b/c I'm certainly not an expert and I'm comfortable with more risk than most but I'm fine with sharing what I own right now and you can go from there.
Chainlink, bitcoin and nucypher.
I've held all three for a little while and haven't bought much more recently. A bit of chainlink when it was in the low 30s and a bit of nucypher when it was in the low .40s.
I'm not sure I would buy more right now but I'm confident enough to hold so...shoulder shrug.
If I had your money, I'd throw mine away. WIth that said, if you're only throwing a couple hundred bucks at it, just have fun and use it as an opportunity to learn. That's basically what I did and figured out a few things.
RDU and Accountant have valid criticisms and from what I gather after years of reading their bullshit is that they are analytical and probably struggle with investing their money in something they do not fully understand. I'm similar in that regard so that was my biggest obstacle. I like real estate, dividends and consistent profits. But do you really have to fully understand something to make money? Hell no, this is America! Just take a look at my brother in law - he's as dumb as the day is long and he makes some money. There's one critical thing to understand and it's relatively simple. Buy low and sell high. Kinda easy.
Good luck!
If that is the case, I would only invest in hookers and blow.
My biggest hang up on crypto isn't that I don't understand it, it's that their are so many different options, it's incredibly difficult to pick a winner, or at least picking someone that has staying power. I could spread it around to various crypto's, but that would take time and effort on my part that I don't have.
One thing I did do though is look into ancillary companies that stand to gain with greater adaptation of blockchain. Disclaimer to everyone: This is not investment advice. There were three themes that I personally looked at....1) What does block chain rely on? 2) As it becomes "financialized", are there avenues / modes that will benefit? 3) Are the certain companies that are "faster" adaptors of blockchain?
For #1, I have looked at semiconductor companies. Now, I got really lucky with the worldwide shortage, but I have had big winner in NVIDIA. This was a true "investment". I have had a "trading play / play money move" in Investview for #2. Finally, for #3, I have been watching salesforce really closely and have started nibbling. The stock looks expensive on the surface, but it's incurred quite a bit of expenses on acquisition integration. Earnings later this month will be key. I have read where 10-15% of business have some sort of investment into blockchain, with the number expected to rise dramatically in the next two to three years, with the biggest jump coming in small to medium sized companies. Salesforce is in a good spot to capitalize on that IMO with their existing software. along with market share.
