Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

I am watching this forum for a few weeks now and I think I am ready to buy my first coins for €3000,-.

- Waves 50%
- Stratis 30%
- Antshares 20%

I want to buy these for the long term (>3 years).


How do you guys think of this combination. And... is today a good day to start?

Thanks

hey!!

almost eveybody recommend to buy top 10 on a first step. personally i wouldn't say you to change your mind-) it doesn't matter when to buy if it's a long term investment. however it'd be better to wait a week like vinny lingham said a while ago.

Hey,

What motivates me to buy an investment, wouldn't necessarily inform your decision. You did indicate that you are adopting a buy and hold strategy, thus have you looked into the teams behind these coins, do you see them gaining popularity, do they have their own economic value (backed by some asset etc). The best investors develop rules for why they are buying or selling an asset. That is my advice to you.

Those are all good investments bit why did you pick them ? They good coins if you read the Ann and look at the market. For 3 years i know waves is great. Plus you can lease waves for profit so it's reacuring interest over a long period of time because you lease the waves to node operators. Stratis is good and is a possibility coin. If you look at how it's been doing it going very well. Good luck to you.

Be careful with the alts. Do you research and don't take your eye off the ticker in case shit happens that takes you from a place of progress to obscurity.

Most alts are shit, seriously. They're cons (essentially) that will only benefit the creators and a handful of early owners. Most are pump and dump worthy only...that's it.

3 years sounds like a waste of your capital with all three of these. BUT, you may have more research on them all than I do...do your research and trust your heart.

Antshares had a big pump on the previous month while waves and stratis are becoming stagnant. They are all good coins but I think you really need to have a big patience because these coins might take years to have a crazy pump.

Zero invested in bitcoins? ??? I don't see any reason to not have bitcoin in your investment portfolio. As I personally think it's the safest investment.  That's just my opinion though. Follow your guts.

Anyway. I think you're allocating too much funds on Waves and Stratis. Why not diversify further? Not saying that Waves and Stratis are good cryptocurrency investments, but it's safer to diversify for more than 5, just so if one of them crashes in price, you wouldn't take much of a hit in terms of profit and losses. I would prefer 10% investments on 10 different cryptocurrencies. Check out https://coinmarketcap.com/ if you haven't.

Best of luck.

I think I support the above view. It will pay you better to diversify into more Altcoins, and including Bitcoin in your portfolio won't be a bad idea since your fund can accommodate some amount of it, except if you already have investment in Bitcoin. My own humble opinion. Best of luck.

When I started investments at the stock exchange, I bought several pennystocks.
I still own them, and they have not moved in a considerable way.
Then I got me some stocks from major businesses, and they are doing fine.
I would say it's the same with crypto: Stick to the major ones!

I am surprised that you don't have Bitcoin is your investment portfolio, but if you have done the research then there is no problem as you might have noticed the higher potential in the altcoins.

I am also in the process of doing research for altcoin investments but I think I am going to have 50% amount in Bitcoin and rest of the capital in altcoins. I could select 1 coin (that is ripple) so far out of remaining 9 coins. I would suggest you have a look on the Ripple and the scope of it in next few years.

I think your investment portfolio is seem in safe range with the cryptocurrencies which has high capital of fund. Why not try to get rid of safe range by investing in new potential cryptos such as PPT, IXT, TRST... It can grow exponentially your invesment :)

i would not recommend it,
because top 10 altcoin in my opinion not really good for a long term project,many people advised it because it's good for day trader.
a high volume it's suitable for people who's looking for profit every day,but for long term project why you didn't find an undervalued project ?
out there you can find it,for a 3 years range time you can try to invest to XVG,DGB or many other.
in my opinion it was an undervalued project which is always showed a consistent development,and i am absolutely sure you will get what you deserve in the future if you're investing on it.

but do your own research,and remember many altcoin pumped so hard this year and they need to retrace back from their position.
especially top 10 altcoin

Any reason why you decided to put all of your money in altcoins? If I was in your place, I would use at least 50% of that amount to purchase Bitcoins, and another 10% for Bitcoin Cash. Putting 100% in altcoin is ultra-risky.

I appreciate you for choosing these three coins for investment , I have used waves and i believe it is reliable. I wish you best of luck for the future.

none of the alt coins will be there in 3 years (maybe 4-5 out of the 860).

I don't quite understand about waves.

Does mean we are safer to choose only one of them ?
because i aslo just started it

As long as you already did your diligence then go ahead. In my opinion, Antshares was already oversold. But hey nobody can stop you from doing what you want. You may want to add another project or two. I suggest as well, to divide your buy orders into three, but it's okay as well when you buy in a single order as long as your confident on your price point.

I agree with TRST and youy may add MGO its a good project also and they are the first to have a highest ICO funding received during their offering.. ICN is quite stable also how about Humaniq or HMQ they have a good updates also.

Also to OP. Ants shares is now renamed as NEO.

Your choices are good but you should include bitcoin in them if you want to go for long term investment, as you've mentioned above you said you are planning to keep them for 3 years. You wouldn't regret it if bitcoin was one of your coins listed.

I agree that Bitcoin should be added in the portfolio with heavier weightage.
The coins look good by the way.

in my opinion should invest only in bitcoin. i think it has the most potential in three years time or at least a part of your money.

Good choice of coin I think you made a lot of money with antshares who has a new name NEO, waves and stratis are also good for long term investment. All three are one of the best coins.

Your buy list is really awesome i think.You can buy waves for long term i mean three or four years holding and after long time you return big profit.I have 500 waves and this coin i hold for my future carrier establishtment.Because waves coin is more potential i think.

You have a point there. I think buying also is good because we know the fact that in long years it will grow. I mean in months, if you hold bitcoins, then the value will keep rising and the rest of your profit will be saved. It's a nice idea when you buy it first because as of this time many sellers are selling it and the more they sell it the more it pumps higher. Definitely we won't regret if our coin is bitcon for it has a higher value crypto currency in today's trend though others are not accepting it but soon they will realize how profitable it is. Now, that banks are being more competitive for the investors for their company.

Bitcoin may the best investation that ever exist but for some reason altcoin may have a greater profit although the risk also bigger than you're investing into bitcoin.

I'm usually buy a coin and stable, solid ( based on community feedback ) , and stable value + huge transaction volume
( ETH, Energy coin, doge would be nice )

i think its good combination listed and you can hold for more than 3 years and if you want to start now then its fine because today the price of all coins is in the low price so i think you can buy much of amount. with that €3000,- i think you can buy big amount of each coin and then you can hold it.

All the coins that you mention is good and you can trust this coins they are active for a long time in my advice much better if you study in your own to see what is the binifets of this coins before you investing its all up to you anyway dont just buy a coins that you did not study first

their blockchain forked last weekend and the same was silent, wasn't it an alert for you? in addition one of the projects is suspected as scam on their platform and moreover it has been verified (green mark) by waves' administration. so i'd recommend you to investigate it more carefully.

My advice would be to diversify your investment especially in regards to bitcoin.
So, if one coin crashes you won' t have that much of a loss in your overall portfolio.

you good think waves is best choose. if you hold 3 year it can change your life.

as for my experience buying and investing into coin the advice i want to share is but those top 5 to top 10 coins in the market, i dont want you to change your mind in to your decision but in most investment you should check the dev team of that coins, make a back read on there achievement including the coins. by the way your pick are one of a hundred good coin to invest. so GOOD LUCK pal!...

Personally not a fan of Waves, but the others are solid. I would like to suggest Iconomi to your portfolio, you will not regret it.

And when you do get around to buying, here's a bunch of guides for newbies on actually how to do it: https://buyingcryptoguide.com

you choose is not right i think but waves is good for holding. other selected is now well cause i think it not good future cause you want long time hold. you buy all waves i think its best for you.

This strategy sounds more safe than others, my vote goes with it. As altcoin although few of them not gaining much popularity than bitcoin I would say just think about your decision 10 times before doing it.

I think you have  a good start with those three coins: NEO, waves and stratis, but as others mention to maybe put some into Bitcoin as well.
Bitcoin will have some chance, since in cryptocurrency nothing is certain, to go steady or up, because there are some improvements planned etc.

Waves was my first buy for like 3 dollar and i sold those at 10 and rebought again around 5, alot of ICO's are on the Waves, NEO or ETH platform, so there is always a place for those coins i believe

You are good to go with these choices. But if I were you I would add some more coins. Try to search some more like another three coins for the 3 years of holding that you are targeting. Why don't you have some BTC as well?

Waves is rocking coin i think and you attempt good dicision to bought Waves.Waves price is hit 10$ after two or three months i think.And this coin future is very bright.SO you can try to hold long time i am sure finally you get big profit.

I think it's a lot of money sir, you have to be carefully and use your feeling very well, maybe you can invest in hero token, he is an altcoin based on banking in southeast asia whose prospect is very good, backed by venture capitalish such as softbank and alibaba

I agree to 1 and 2, in my opinion there will be enough changes to make a profit. Good luck.

Good choice, Waves must go up high. For long term it's nevermind when to buy.

I would use at least 2k for BTC and 1K on altcoins. Inform yourself about what projects are going on behind the coin. Listen to yourself and do what feels right for you.

I own myself some
- BTC
- XRP, buy when around 0.16
- Stratis

Happy investing

I really like your selection!!  WAVES is gonna be good to you!!
