Not investing a small amount of monthly salary into crypto seems crazy to me! What is your favourite low-risk* option?

---

*in relation to other alts

I am looking to buy one of these three on monthly basis.

---

Below are monthly graphs from coinmarketcap.com - my favourite resource.

---

Bitcoin (BTC) Pros

• longest history and most widely recognized
• probably will stay a gold standard for a significant time
• can be traded for anything else on most, if not all, exchanges
• easy to buy with fiat $$$
• wallet accessibility
• volume

Bitcoin (BTC) Cons

• Possible crash due to recent skyrocket
• Expensive transaction fees
• Slow transactions
  

---

Ethereum (ETH) Pros

• second in market cap
• rate of mainstream adoption
• recent price optimism with more potential gains
• relatively underpriced in relation to BTC?
• recent boom in volume

Ethereum (ETH) Cons

• Went up by a lot recently - could go down by a lot soon
• Issues with transactions - I had mine stuck for a day two days ago, nowhere to be found on etherscan - resolved by itself
  

---

Litecon (LTC) Pros

• @kingscrown likes it :)
• seems like low price now, in relation, about 10X to ETH, 100x to BTC
• potential for taking over bitcoin - similar in positive aspects

Litecon (LTC) Cons

• possible price stagnation?

Which to buy right now?

I am torn between Litecoin and Ethereum on Coinbase. Prices in the first picture are what I found there today.

So far I have been buying only BTC directly. Probably like most young adopters. :)

I know little about any of these. What I wrote is intuitive understanding of a newbie in crypto. I urge you to correct me on any point.

The plan is to edit this post with your comments after 6 days to get clearer, more comprehensive picture. I hope it helps people looking for quick, verbose, digestible pointers on investing!

_{Buy BTC with Coinbase. You and I both get 10$ for free if you use this link and buy 100$ worth of BTC.}

Poll Results: BTC, LTC or ETH?

It is a tie between ETH and LTC - 3-3 each! We probably can't do wrong with either!
