I feel very fortunate when it comes to discovering crypto.
I learned about it in 2013 and bought my first Bitcoins for around $250 each.
One BTC is worth $5660 today.
If I had to get into crypto today I would be in trouble. I simply don't have that money. And who does?
I mean seriously. Wich person can just drop $5k into BTC under normal circumstances and do it with confidence at this all-time high.
Or Ethereum for that matter.
I bought my first Ether for $2.
It's now well over $300 and that is only based on a future potential as far as I can tell. (What can I do on the Ethereum blockchain today that is useful?)
I bought my first STEEM for around $4 and it's now $1. Mmmm.....
Luckily I kept buying all the way to 7 cents. So I turned a bad buy into a good buy.
All this got me thinking about a fun question:
If you had $1000 dollar to spend freely wich crypto would you buy?
I'm looking forward to the comments!

I am late to the contest but a $1000 now in crypto can buy a little. you have to be smart and active to see where to invest.
The lending platforms are crazy and scammy but they are paying.
The issue is the market is moving up and down so fast.
Now BTC is a good buy at least you will get something back in return.
To be safe and sound , steem with hope will go up and earn by posting.

You did great getting Bitcoin at $250.
I had my first one gifted to me when it was Worth $2.00. That same person gave ten to someone as a wedding gift when they were worth $50.00. Since the groom showed no interest in them He bought them all back from him $900.00 or $90.00 each!
In five years $5,000 might sound like peanuts for one Bitcoin!
If I had $1,000 to play with I'd buy EOS

Man I really don't know. If you read about every crypto, you almost always read positive things about every single one of them. I was looking at XRP because that one is cheap to buy but then again, no one knows the potential value for lets say the coming 5 to ten years

Great question. $1000 right now I would invest in $500 in Steem and $500 in SBDs. As of the time I'm writing this SBDs are 0.95 cents, so you have an immediate minimum 5% gain built in right up front. I believe Steem is tremendously undervalued right now at $1.02, but can see this current price trend continuing for the near future. It seems to have a floor around 0.95-$1.00 where the whales stop powering down. When the SBDs to Steem ratio would become very favorable, I would then sell the SBDs and convert to Steem to get some extra Steem. Steem is what I know the best and one thing I've learned over the years is to invest in what you know.

With $1000 today @exyle I would buy LTC but only on a Down Day in Price. What I have been doing is building my LTC and then on a day that it is UP in Price and STEEM is down in price then I send it over to buy more STEEM.............That's just me and the way I like to do it.

Great question, for today, if I had $ 1,000, you can basically buy any Alt. Why do I think so, because the price for buying on any Alt is very profitable and, in the first place, for Steem . Since there is a rule for the exchange, it is necessary to buy when the price falls, but I would not buy bitcoins now in the short term. Thank you @exyle

Hi steemians! @exyle thank you for great question. Today i sold some btc and i am very happy. I have plan to invest 1000$ in bank's crypto...can you guess which is it? There is great opportunity its price to rise more than 10 times. Yes i am talking about RIPPLE. My idea is to buy some at 0.2$ and sell at about 2$ next summer i hope. What do you think?

split it evenly between a few choices.
preferably put
$250 to BTC
$200 to ether
$150 to Steem
$150 to Ripple
$150 to Lisk before the rebrand
$100 to golem
Always spread out your investments people.
put 1k in steem and if it tanks tomorrow you lost it all.
minimise that risk

still in a hypothetical sense if i had 1k rebrand or not id throw some into it lol

$1000? I think my long term portfolio would be graphene biased and would look like:
6000 Bitshares at about 5c each = $300 [I think this is cheap for a share in a Decentralised Exchange]
200 Steem at $1 each = $200 [I like the plateform and I use it]
3 LTC at $55 each = $165 [Because it follows the BTC price and I can use it for transactions and convert to other coins easily]
120 EOS at 0.6c each = $120 [Just in case]
and I would split the remaining $215 for short/medium term investment in other altcoins and maybe keep some BitUSD as a cash reserve ready for a good opportunity to buy cheap coins.
PS: This is not financial advice, just a random opinion.

I just recently got into the crypto space. I had very similar thought as yours and wanted to buy some altcoins worth of about $100 each. Here is a list of coins that I picked and why:
I did the rookie mistake of buying BitShares and Golem at their close highest price. But now it's a very good time to Bitshares. It's price is declining for a few reasons including intentional delisting from some centralized exchanges. Rest assured, it will go up. EOS is another one to keep an eye on. BitShares itself declared to use EOS as soon as it goes live. Thus, increasing the price up.
PS: the market capital may not be the same now.
