Title: Need for advice before diversifying
Post by: Chloroplaste on May 22, 2017, 06:32:49 AM
Hi Everyobdy,

I'm quite new to this world and reaching out to you for advice.
I already own some of the major coins (BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, XMR, and less major ICN, MLN, ZEC, REP) and wanted to diversify.

Maybe it's FOMO  ;D but I want to place a very small amount (like 10$ on 20 more coins).
I made a list using Coingecko various ranking and care to have your opinion. Is there any promising coin i'm missing or have I listed some soon-to-be dead coins ?

Here's my list :
Dogecoin
Siacoin
Golem
Bistshares
Digibyte
NEM
Lisk
LBRY Credits
Namecoin
DECRED
PIVX
NXT
Factom
Steem dollar
MAIDSAFECOIN
Counterparty
Steem
Gridcoin
Stratis
Vertcoin
Blackcoin
WAVES

It's not for short term speculation (don't have enough time, and I'm not good enough) but to hold for a few months / years maybe.

Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry for my bad english.

I wouldn't necessarily place such small amounts on as many coins, but it's your call. I would advise you to add / look up Iconomi, it is also a great coin, with lots of potential.  I would also remove Dogecoin, but this is just because i think meme-coins don't have future.

Other than that, it is quite a nice list. Check out Darcrus also, it is not widely known yet, but has nice development and could bloom any day now.

Thanks for your answers.

I already own some ICONOMI. And my stronger positions are on the coins of the top 5-10.
This is really just FOMO, in case one the 20 coins I previously listed skyrocket and become a main actor of the cryptocurrency world. Because this world is still an infant I guess.

Maybe you're right I should reduce my 20 coins list to 10, using those a29654 listed.
The thing is I also read some nice stuff about the other coins of the liste like Factom, PIVX, Steem

Yes, it is always hard to know which coins to choose  :) So it could be also good if you did as you intented, and invest in many coins. Perhaps they all rise in the future. You also have a nice "safety" if you invest in many coins, in case one fails.

You already diversified more them most do. But if you really need to do it more then go with those:
Siacoin
DECRED
Counterparty
