I'm looking at putting together an alt-coin portfolio for long-term growth. Based on current USD value i'm considering a ratio of:

2BTC:1ETH:1DASH:1LTC

What do you guys think / operate on?

You may create a “market cap portfolio” which would hold coins based on their current market cap. E.g. 5 to 10 top coins. This way your portfolio would reflect the market situation. You can also create more portfolios based on different principles and goals... E.g. "Inmydomain portfolio" could hold some more speculative investments based on your altcoin research.

do you mean 1BTC worth of each of these altcoins or only 1 unit of them because for example holding 1 LTC means holding 0.016BTC worth or nearly 40 bucks investment which is very low.

and also your investment seems random to me. i think you just chose 3 coins with the most noise. if i am right then you need to rethink and if i am wrong then forget about what i said.

and in my opinion i would ditch the other 2 and only go in BTC+LTC with 70-30 percentages.

worse suggestion ever.

I mean based on a $1000 investment I would invest

$400 in BTC
$100 in ETH
$100 in DASH
$100 in LTC

Agreed I have chosen those with the most noise, partly what for a perceived stability from their size ergo a risk reduction, granted this could be misguided.

An alternative i would be keen on is waves

You should get rid of ltc. in the future bitcoin's scaling problem will be solved and litecoin will be trash coin as it has been always.

I would consider getting some lower marketcap coins, something under $1 billion but over 50 million. I would recommended Ark and Lisk.

Unless you are working with trading profitss I wouldn't buy anything at current prices, wait for crash. If you are looking to trade instead of hold buy a couple btc and do what everyone else does, gamble on shitcoins.

There doesn't seem to be a consensus about a crash around August and the BTC fork, some even expect the price to go up

nah you guys are too obvious, i have spread, btx, bitcoin planet, nexus, hodl, condensate sweepstake and atomcoin, many shitcoin i know but some look good on paper for me, holding strong until next pump

And i assume you are hoping that 2 or 3 of those are going to really take off which would more than cover the losses on the others?

Are there any special technologies / selling points to these coins?

The market will going against people's hopes, be carefull with Dream Blue become to rich man before big crash happening. I will waiting the price fall down until end August and starting trading when begin September. In present, go travel with family and relax better than check chart and price ;D

My thoughts as well. Have usd on exchange waiting. I don't think the btc fork has anything to do with it, the market needs to rest it can't go up forever without a pullback - a big one.

Do you not think that anyone cashing out to take advantage of high prices already would have done?

I can see the price crashing, but only off the back of a big worry e.g. the fork

Read more about iconomi. It is a protfolio.

Also, always diversify.

Btc is the king, should be in the portfolio

Op if you don't have a hardware wallet get exodus and hold them there. Don't listen to the haters those are tier 1. Great choice's.   For a little fun open a bittrex account and play around with a small amount in the lower tier spec coins.

yeah that's the point 2-3 of these will go big, making the other pointless to hold if they would be a loss, spreadcoin is special after 1 august will gain a big value because the holder can claim 1:1 with a new coin that is looking promising, nexus also is good has some neat features
