If I gave you $1000 what crypto would you buy

Good morning/evening
 
What would you buy if I gave you $1000?
 
I seem to do this every year, (Well this is my 3rd year and wow I have been on Pub0x that long and still love it) and I find it sorta fun to see what some would buy and how they would have would have fared, although anyone who would have brought ALTS well, is probably not doing well. Also no need to get excited as I have still not given anyone $1000!
 

 
On last years article I mentioned that I would buy more Stacks, OK so that is not doing well either but the good thing is that even when the price of Stacks goes down, I still earn Bitcoin and at the end of the day, that it what is about, each day acquiring more Bitcoin than I had the day before so I am reasonably happy with my choice whilst still having a small amount of hopium that ALTs will pump at some point.
 
I also find this sort of post interesting as it shows how trends change, back on year 1 (2023) of doing this, some of the crypto that people would buy were-
CAKE ouch flatlined 
200 NFT packs (yep they were the thing then)
50% ALGO 35% DeSo 15% WAX 
XRP, QNT, ALGO, XDC, HBAR, XRP was at $0.60 for years, ok so it did go up so fair enough and I admit, I did have some.
MATIC, FTM, AVAX, BTC Ok so the last 2 did ok.
Nano (XNO) Lots seem to like this.
 
So what were last years choices 2024 by people who responded in the comments (in bold) 
$300 GFI, $100 SMT, $600 BTC.
Ouch apart from Bitcoin but then if it is free money, then may as well take a punt at something, it is sort of what I would do with free money.
 
 
FTM is my second highest holding I am estimating that BTC will go to 180-240k that means 3-4x profit. That will be outclassed by every single crypto out there, even the bad ones therefore I have close to zero. While Nano is a great product and pretty much one of the few cryptos that could operate as a currency I would not invest in it. That’s because a good currency should NOT increase in value rapidly. That is something assets do. So while it is a great currency it is NOT a great inestment asset. I keep Nano only because I want to use them as a currency and buy things with them.
 I have been taking profits now, call me lettuce hands if you like, unfortunately I still have most of my sh....ALTS!
 
If you gave me $1000 in cash I’d probably pay my rent  If it was in USDT I’d be on the non-KYC changes buying low ranking (more than 100) crypto.
I do hope that you sold, FTM/SONIC are you sure I can't orange pill you? But also an excellent call on AI as that seems to be the thing now and probably will be for a while. Looks like your BTC range was a good call. To me it (Bitcoin) is still a no brainer and it's easy! You know I still love your thoughts though.
 
Should I give you my Bitcoin address?
Smart man did well, same again for you this year @Yugocean.
 
I’d buy some cryptos for you, like Sats, Millix, STX, TON, Gold
 
TON had its moment and did well and gold is also doing well.
 
Oh that’s an easy question. Further freedom from debt. That’s gold.
 
OK fair enough but there is the digital gold that we know and love too
 
ALGO and XNO are great choices 👍
Ummmm hindsight is a wonderful thing
 
platinum No idea, hope it is going in the same direction as gold
 
Bitcoin - thats all
Smart 
 
Interesting…I would buy LandShare and PaxGold At least the PaxGold will offset the loss from LandShare
 
Interresting question, probably half on $KAS, $ETH and maybe $NEAR. I will continue to build up those positions. 
I am sure most of us are hoping for some sort of ALT season
 
ASI, STX, KAS, JASMY and XMR, my choice besides BTC and ETH.
OK so ETH may go up, I hope so as my son has some.
 
Polkadot, thank you very much.
I always thought the idea of parachains was good but hey ho!
 
XNO .
Ah, another one who likes this.
 
So another year has passed, my hasn't it gone quick, some of the people that responded, I no longer see here on Pub0x, but there are a few OGs still here. This is crypto, people come and go as do tokens, there have been rug pulls and hacks, there probably always will be but what a ride this is. Now I can only hope that my second largest asset has a pump....Come on Solana.
 
This has for me, as I have said many times, been my learning cycle, how do I want to trade, learning some basic TA just so I can have some understanding of tops and bottoms, timelines and what type of crypto I want to buy for next cycle (other than Bitcoin, thats a dead cert for me, Sorry @Sugarfix) Bitcoin is easy and I see nothing wrong in, at worst case doubling your money.
 
I have planned to spend the winter researching some stocks that I am interested in, the only thing is although I can now buy some of these on Solana, I won't be buying the 'actual' stock so there are pros and cons. I like the fact that Solana is fast and it will cost me a fraction of a cent to buy and sell, so I have a lot to look at as well as the cycles of stocks, which may well be different to crypto. As for my crypto picks I probably need to look at some decent AI plays, the one I picked is the only one that is doing nothing! Bitcoin will be around 80% of the portfolio again as well as the L1 of the cycle, whatever that may be, then it will be whatever takes my fancy but I would like to think I have also learned that I held some ALTs too long, I had chances and got greedy, although I did sell and take profits on a lot of tokens once they had doubled, leaving a little on the table 'just incase'. What fun it is, eh!
 
So then, what will your choice of crypto to buy be with the $1000 that I am not really going to give you?
 
I would love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to comment, and as always, thank you for reading.
