Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys,

I just started trading cryptocurrency, and the following are my coins:

http://image.prntscr.com/image/12eea143c4ab45ada46680c032d10185.png

The top 6 are bought for long term holding, and the rest 6 are to sell when there is a good high point.

I am not a day trader, I am happy to bad the profit in future.

Any suggestions on the coins I have or any good coins I am missing out?

yeah obviously bitcoin! :o

Dash and Ethereum and Ripple, and Zcash are not so good at this point to keep your money in them. they are in a bubble and there is a good chance of bubble popping and price going down big time.
even if they rise the rise won't be as big to give any decent profit with altcoin pump standards at this point.
Monero is not such a bad choice but i can not see that rising more than this either. (at this point)
i am not watching Stratis and MAID right now so i can't say much about them.
POT is good but it recently was pumped, so again it is highly unlikely to see any pump for months.
Steem was also recently pumped but the pump wasn't as big as i hoped, so it may go up or it may stop there, again risky.
Lisk is good in my opinion since it has not been pumped yet (apart from a small rise) so it has a potential to get pumped. i also have invested in it.
my most investment these days is in litecoin though, it has been having magnificent swings making it good for short term trading but also risky.

the bold part is a very big mistake in my opinion. you should never hold altcoins for long term if you like your money.


there are random coins that are getting pumped daily, find them and make short term profit :)
example: BAY (97%) - SWT (129%) - DBG recently 100+% and now 33% today.

there is also a new coin called PIVX that i personally like and think has a good future.

Then what do you do in this thread?

Not bad, I also have some altcoin with small amounts. Xrp and eth are suitable to be purchased at this time, possibly end of the year eth has a price of 100 $. I also save EDG and TRST, not only buy ico like ethbits, iex.ec and TaaS also quite profitable when it is in the market.

I suggest you to hold some KMD (komodo) and Gbytes (Byteball) because both have unique consensus mechanism and application. They are cheap right now so this is perfect time to get some for both short and long term holding.

You can try to change lisk with ark, Actually ark have a good development and the price is increasing a lot. With his good development and i think it will worth a lot in the future. 50k satoshi for every ark token. Although if that's a part of lisk asset but it's good coin to be your investment dude.

ripple is not in a bubble, its the only coin with large real world usage!
i hold XRP, MAID, SIA, NXT , ARDR, XEM and LYKKE long term.
especially LYKKE is a company i expect big things from, and real big profits in a couple years.

you are losing lbry and spreadcoin and ark, remove ripple from there please it's not a real coin, it's not based on the blockchaina nd not decentralized, and i think it's better to focus on something else than dash, the pump is done and no more buyers will make the price higher again there, it's a dying horse now

You are missing bitconnectcoin I made huge here bought it for $0.90 and sold some when it hit $9,it's probably one of the best Ico I've participate it's not to late it could hit $50 before the year's end,another one they ar eon token presale is XFCCOIN or footballcoin,they have their own football platform and everybody's giving it thumbs up and good feedback.

Ofcourse, I am holding a huge amount in BTC. I do trading for only 10-20% of my BTC equivalent.

LTC just recently had a good news, so it's really jumping well.

Also, I have some coins in ICO Humaniq

Rest, I think I get more beating for Dash and XRP. XRP is being used in many banks, that's one reason I am holding on. Need to rethink about Dash I think.

If am not wrong, you are missing out Byteball. The rate started increasing recently and it will be pumped more. Try to buy some for short term trading and sell on high value.

I choose blackcoin, which I believe is the most innovative PoS coin, it's been launched for over 3 years and proved to be very stable, fast and power-saving, it is widely accepted around the world and has over 1,000 full nodes now.

I like your portfolio, its good. A good coin you are missing out I think is waves and there is a new coin called incent. Incent is not a pump and dump coin, there`s a strategy behind.
Just my opinion.

Now there are thousands of tokens, and good tokens need to be found,
Garbage and scam too

These all are the most popular altcoins that worth to invest. Yes it's good but i think you miss something about trading market. Peoples deal with the statement that the more something is needed, it's price will be more value. Same with altcoins, oke you'll get profit in that coins, but the profit will not take you to be rich.
It's different when you start invest in new born coins with good future. Look at pivx, everyone who invest on it earlier will be millionaires if they invest at least 10 btc. Go find a new born altcoins and analyze with your knowledge.
I suggest TRST

You are missing out BLOCK coin. This is the first truly decartelized coin exchange platform:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=829576.0

Gridcoin ..you can use it with SETI to search for ALIENS !

Prime coin ..you can use it to search for prime numbers for the scientific community.

@Jumanji7
How the hell is a "Coin" a decentralized exchange ? ::)

That looks like a decent list to me. Best of luck with your investing adventures! :)

it looks good to me.
but you should keep one thing in mind, these days the altcoins are getting pumped. if you stick around for long enough you will see them get dumped too and that is the part which you should be looking out for. and then there will come a time when all these coins are just going down and stay there for a long time so make sure you are not bagholding anything more than you are willing to.

in your list for example I see XRP, and as you can see that coin is already declining coming down from the high price of 7075 satoshi down to 2500 and eventually back to 3 digits.

RUBIT, PHR, SANDG, BVC, ARGUS, BEST good for big return.

Yes you are missing cloakcoin , it is a coin which is the king in anonymity.
Byteball - As far as i remember their crowdsale is still going on and they distributed some 1000 coins for free or something. And not to forget 1 byte is some 70$.

Hi, try researching about humaniq. Humaniw has a big potential as its main goal is to prioritize unbanked environment to connect to the economy. This will be a big project as it will help a lot of people.

Good list you got there.
In terms of good coins that are missing from the list, I feel Decred is one with good potential that you missed out on.
If you want more, Golem is another one, and one more that is bringing a lot profits to to its investors is PIVX, though it is not available at poloniex as of yet but its also good one for short term.

Bitbay & blocknet will be top 20 coins. True decentralised tech

ok then, this is even better.
specially since Litecoin is on the rise and also bitcoin is on the rise these days, that would be like double profit.


I never liked any ICO. it is way too risky in my opinion.

heat,

Synereo AMP and Expanse. AMP is a decentralized social media network with a beta release set for June.  Expanse is a heavily modified fork of Ethereum, 90% of the supply is controlled by the community, only 6 million coins in circulation and it's still being traded at only $0.70.

You're holding a lot of good coins right now though so I wouldn't worry about it much. I'm sure that ETH will be worth way more than $50 in the future.

XRB is a good Coin :o, if you can use this coin with Mercatox Exchanger. Most probably this coin is to be hit in some days later.
Already it's candidate for vote from Bitcoin forum.

i think your list is good to hold but if you see that the price is increase suddenly, then you can sold it to make profit, but for the other coins, i think you need to take a look and try to make analysis so you can make more profit.


EXP is another good coins that OP missed and i think he can buy it after he makes some analysis with the coins and try to hold it for a while.

yes time to accumulate now before bittrex listing. dev is active again and lots of improvements are being made

Byteball has reached $151/Gbyte, the most highest rate altcoins obviously. This coin is the most important coin which you missed it.
I don't know, how far byteball could rise and it may be second position for a long time since Dash reach $110.
When I remember byteball at $65/Gbyte, it makes me like' woooww_ to see how fast it grow, 38.37% increase within 24 hours, amazing.

Your list looks nice. However, as someone already mentioned Byteball is also a very good option. In this vein, I would add IOTA as well since it uses a somewhat similar approach like Byteball: a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).

In short, IOTA is a brand new and novel micro-transaction cryptotoken optimized for the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Unlike the complex and heavy blockchains of Bitcoin and the like, which were designed with other uses in mind, IOTA is created to be as lightweight as possible, hence the name "IOTA" with emphasis on the ‘IoT’ part.

The number of connected devices that will permeate our modern landscape in the coming decade is estimated to be 50 billion. Each of these are designed to make the world a better and more seamless place for us. Tied to this fantastic promise are of course a ton of obstacles to be overcome, of which one major one is micro-transactions.

These connected IoT devices must be able to automatically pay miniscule amounts to one another in a frictionless manner without having to compromise on product design by introducing additional hardware. This is why IOTA was conceived.

While it was developed as a solution to scalability issues faced in IoT, the underlying protocol is agnostic and can be applied in any other use-cases that utilize micro-transactions. In order to achieve these audacious goals IOTA’s design diverged radically from blockchain cryptocurrencies.

It still retains the core principle ideas of the distributed consensus blockchain, but in order to be able to scale to the size of the coming Internet-of-Things ecosystem with tens of billions of devices that are connected to each other, it needed to be very lightweight and efficient. This problem is solved by IOTA’s core innovation: the tangle, which is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG).        

If any of the coin that are on the top 15 and not yet on your list then you should add it more to get a complete list,coinmarketcap is still the best indicators if the coin is worth your money and time.

NXT/Ardor.

Why?

If you're a speculator, the price could rise before the Ardor snapshot in the next 3 months. It could stall at the current level too, it's a speculation. If you're a believer in decentralized cryptocurrency platforms, Nxt is one such platform with a long track record by cryptocurrency standards. If you're a programmer, Nxt is super easy to use for applications that require decentralized censorship-free communication. If you're a business, Nxt has a cool toolset to run crowdfunding campaigns, dividend payments, etc. If you're none of those, you probably should find your own compelling reasons or shouldn't buy at all.

I think Decred (DCR) will get more and more momentum moving forward. It's designed to address what I believe to be today's biggest challenge of Bitcoin: a system of governance.

On the short term, the price might go up because of the forthcoming v1.0 release on April 25. On the longer term, when people start to understand its importance, I can see the price rising to much more than it's currently valued.

Already invested :)

On reading all these, I am thinking to add these coins as well to my portfolio. Not huge amount, just with test amount for each. I am a patient player :D So, not worried about quick profit. Fine with long term vision :D

PIVX
Burst
NXT
ARDR
DCR
Golem
AMP
EXP
ETC
GAME

Any coins to remove from these? Anything better to swap with?

I use Poloniex, so please let me know coins on these. There are many coins which are not in Polo which was there in the comments.

Bitbay

Any coin on poloniex is already having the middle reach, either its going down and dying like many that was delisted by polo lately or the ones at the top that keeps going up constantly.
However if you check the other exchanges like bittrex or liquo than you may find some gold, I think PivX will be great but its dropping in price by a lot lately, hopefully it will recover, try to find stuff like that for yourself.

Good thing you don't forget NEM. If you able to bought those coins at around 500 sats month ago, you are in profit now as it was reaches to close to 3000 sats this past days.

But don't take NEM for short term trades as I considered it for long term holding purposes.

If you're going for long term vision, I'd add BTC to your list. If cryptocurrencies reach mainstream (which they will), Bitcoin is going to have the widest adoption rate by a large margin. But maybe you already own BTC and you were asking about altcoins. So regarding your list:

• Beware of the transition of NXT to Ardor. I believe it will happen in June and it's likely that NXT will keep a slow ascendent trend until the transition, then it will suffer a steep decline.
• I'd consider adding ETH next to my ETC, as it might have better chances to grow as an ecosystem on the medium to long term.
• I'd consider adding MaidSafe next to my Burst, as they have a better chance to deliver on a similar promise (older project, somewhat proven track record).
• GNT looks like an interesting idea, the main question is whether the teams is experienced enough to execute it properly.
• I'd exercise caution with regards to EXP, as their team seems biased towards marketing at the expense of active development.
• DCR looks like a strong contender in the mid-run, as it has already figured out one of Bitcoin's biggest hurdles today: a system of decentralized governance. It might grow on the short term as well as v1.0 release will happen on Apr 25th.
• PIVX: i don't understand the hype.
• GAME: might fly for a while because of the huge entertainment market, but then again - why wouldn't the game developers use Bitcoin instead?

You might also consider NEM because of their good track record, their mixture of public and private chains and increasing adoption (on prototypes & proofs of concept) by a few governmental institutions in Asia and Europe.

This is my updated portfolio:

http://image.prntscr.com/image/1c25c0c2bd8d48b4b1c7f9b039653674.png

Invested a bit more, and with the profit buying up more coins which have some potential in the long term or to sell for a small profit ;)

BTC is rising greatly as well!

I'm fond of ICONOMI (ICN), though I do wish their communication were better.

If you are interested you can check out CloakCoin, anonymous private decentralized cryptocurrency. Final product ENIGMA (Backbone of CloakCoin) is piece of art, and working flawlessly. Wallet is very simple to use, to shorten this story it is best to try it. Come to main thread and ask everything you want to know.

PACCOIN  8)
TITCOIN   :o
LEOCOIN  >:(

Hold for a limited amount of time, bitcoin is the only coin worth holding long term all the other coins should only be hold long enough to get your profits and then you need to get out of them and into other coins, simple as that.

LOL "altcoin pump standards" it's not that they are standardised in any form. What works, works out. What not, doesn't.
Ripple is somewhat centralized, capable of blocking funds or creating moar, even far moar coin supply out of thin air. Do. Not. Touch.
The others are valid more or not, I would pick out Ethereum as performing exceptionally well and offering the technology frontier. The privacy centric coins are somehow out of the past. There will always be mixing services available that do exchange dirty coins for clean ones, so privacy as a unique selling point does not hit any point, at all. It's unneeded on protocoll level.

good advice, learned a lot, thanks!

the only coins i'd consider to be 100% 'good' are namecoin, litecoin and maybe peercoin. you probably won't make much money off them so in most eyes here that makes them 'not good'.

btc
ETH
LTC
STRAT
ETC
XRP
NLG
SJCX
Burst
steem
DGB
SaaT
ARK
RLC

My holdings. I moved 50% off my btc into alt coins just before the big volume pump. Best decision ever I could say. All the coins are pretty much going up. Only NLG, DGB have not gone up that much.

Oktober 2016 I bought stratis and XRP. Both made nice profits.

Still I strongly suggest to watch out. Now everything goes up but will it still by in a month or 2? Its going crazy atm.

yeah right those coins are moving up and almost everything is green, its really a big profits if you able to buy those coins when price
drop down, i also wanted to add xem and sc they also have good potentials for sure its also a coin to watch out.

The ones i'm holding:
Guldencoin
Iconomi
PIVX


The ones I regret selling:
XRP
NAV

IOTA is all you need to hold. 5-10x once it gets on exchanges.

NAV Coin, why?
- Solid development team, who are known by their real names. This indicates trustworthiness.
- Innovative features that are coming this year
- It still has a small marketcap, so there is a lot of room to grow.
- Segwit voting will start on May 1st, so it will most likely result in a big rise

Most coins decline after shooting up like that. Bitcoin invented that move, lol. I wouldn't worry much about that. A nice video on XRP technicals and it's current move (done a week ago). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-zf-Q2ujZM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-zf-Q2ujZM)

Anyway, I was averse to XRP when it came out. A coin the banks use - I wanted no part of it. But it is going to serve a valuable function for the banks (barring across the board bank failures), and one can hope that some of crypto's potentially anti-corruptive properties go along with it.  ;)

Banks are getting behind it, it has A LOT of practical use for them. It is not a typical crypto and I wouldn't overlook it, in large part because of its practical use for banks which
really can use it to speed transfers up substantially. They are still using ancient tech and old methods, really, XRP (or something like it) is huge for them. (And eventually they move onto the real stuff, but this is there baby step  ;).)

Bookmark this, XRP will be one of the alts to EXPLODE. (I wouldn't be shocked to see a buck some day, but a quarter or 50 cents in the next year or two is almost expected). The space is still such a baby, where it is going will boggle the mind. We are in a Black Swan moment.

Its about sharing

Slowly and steadily, my portfolio now is extended to 20+ coins, but many of them are for quick profits, the rest few are for long term holding. BTC had a rise and other alts have been down, so I got hit, but still overall in profit. Hope to book more profit as we go forward :D

Wings is all you need to look at. Coin just launched after a fair ICO several months back.  Great Developers and idea. Currently under a $10 million market cap. Will very quickly get closer to $100 million from here.

coins i believe have great potential at the moment

Bitsend, Ethereum and obviously Quantum which you can see from sig am currently wearing and i believe Taas should also be one we should be on the look out for  :)

Check out byteball, there's distribution every month. Just link bitcoin address

Right now it's a blood bath in the crypto trading world.

From 27% overall profit, I came down to 13.33 and now at 10% overall profit.

At the same time, I am slowly buying up good coins, which have a good market cap hoping for the best.

BTC as well is rising, and the above profit is only from the alt coins :D

Don’t worry as long as your value in fiat stays same or goes up the amount of btc may drop and you will still be in profit. I would say check out other exchanges than poloniex, only one exchange can stop your growth to its tracks, using multiple exchanges can vary and diversify your risks.

Eth seem to be the most sensible token to keep for me. I have been holding mine forever. A lot of token are already running under its chain and most of them already have good value on it to which giving value to ETh as well. The demand for gas to keep sending all these tokens will be making ETH to be the most valuable.

At the moment almost all the altcoins are moving up as well but I don’t think that is a tendency that is going to last much longer so we must be prepared to move out of our position on altcoins at any moment notice.

I love these 'pump my bag' threads, keep it up guys!

Komodo
Iota
DCR
CBX
NEM
Qora
Stratis
VTR

IOTA has been having network problems with transactions not going through at all, and the price has already been pumped anyways.  Until it's proven that it'll work reliably I wouldn't put any money into it.
Also, byteball uses a DAG as well, isn't PoW, and has a fair distribution.

well it's not only your bag, we do knwo that many coins are good, and many investors share the same bagholder, this make them cheating because they want to have their coin worth more? i don't think so, investors and whales will pump whatever they feel need to be pumped at will and random it doesn't matter if it's your bag or not, my bag is also same as you minux iota, qora and nem

XBY is going to be huge. Almost no one knows about it. No miners, No POS,


It has static nodes that can't be hacked as they are offline, and uses Proof of Signature to create consensus. Truely something new.

Anything to say on what exactly makes XBY special? There doesn't really seem to be very much information on it. I like the idea of a system that has none of the problems of either PoW or PoS, but I'm not sure what "Proof of Signature" is, and their website barely seems to work, or has very little information on it. What exactly is meant by "decentralised storage", and what does proof of signature mean?

Looking at the top 10 marketcap presently, I think Monero will be the next coin to experience pump in price, I will likely bet on that happening

PIVX

ICASH has some new development and has gained 15 or 20 master nodes since the announcement. 
I bought some and keeping an eye on the project. Seems to be gaining some momentum.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1534280.0

Iota is where its at. Not even on exchanges yet and already 300 million market cap and for good reason! Bring it on! Will be number 2 or 3 on cmc by the end of the year

Lets not make this a pissing contest, I respect Come from Beyond, but go check out XBY, its got a unique way to secure the network in the same way IOTA has a unique way, no miners, no point of weakness, No POS. (Its new so the visuals are shit)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1864397.1100


NO ICO, less than 2m market cap. I'm not knocking IOTA but I know which one is more value for money and has most potential for ROI.

Yea I notice very good risings lately. I am watching the growing market cap multi times a day if I see a big decline coming I am ready to go 70% btc+ but atm its going fine. Still 50% is btc currently. I also use blockfolio to follow everything on phone so I don't have to watch poloniex 24/7. :)

I also heard about this, recently ICASH pumped up to 300 satoshi a week ago and gained some profit from there  :D

This one. From 10 satoshi to 160 satoshi till now and it's more than 1600%, also I have take a part on it (bringing money to me)

I'm waiting for this moment, and I hold Golem (GNT) the price still cheap for now and holding Golem is for long term investment see for 1-2 month after this, Golem will give nice profit.

Segwit voting is now at about 85% in the last 800 blocks. At this speed, NAV Coin will lock in Segwit in a couple of days.

http://navcoin.org/segwit/

Same mood here. And because of why?
What got mentioned was NXT changing into Ardor. Right, offering the same basically as NXT always did. Kinda like a rebranding. Doing mostly the same thing again is not enough in a fast moving tech sector, at least not for gaining the pole positions.
What does ETH offer? Sample: VSL / vSlice which gained momentum just recently.
The greater innovative power of ethereum, the wider variety of possibilities of what to create. Adding VSL onto the "not to be missed out today" list.

From that list I have also GNT (Golem), is "quite" new coin, so let's see.

Well, now I am concentrating more on the top 10 coins with the market volume. And thinking to keep it for next 1-2 months. But as the crypto world, not finalizing the thought :D

I would buy some TAAS after the ICO and when they are still trading on low vol exchanges. Especially after a couple of days when the bounties will be splashed on the market.

Check Bancor (https://www.bancor.network/), they'll soon have a crowdfund
