Bitcoin Forum

I'm planning to invest big chunk of my money into cryptocurrencies. I'm absorbing all informations since April 2017. So I'm still quite new but I feel confident enough.
I want to buy some hardware wallet like Trezor and put my money there. Everyday I'm reading news, watch youtube channels and others. Even attended on one blockchain meetup.
This whole stuff is taking so much time and is kinda stresfull but very fascinating at once.
I'm not gonna put all of my money at once, I will do it periodically in the upcoming months.

The main reason I'm doing that is I wanna invest my money so it would work for me and bring profits over time (I want to hold crypto for 2 years at least).
Other than that I wanna focus on other life aspects so daytrading isn't an option, I want to take some time off from crypto-sphere.

Here's my picks for long term hodling :D

• BTC (I'm thinking of 40-60% for the whole portfolio)
• ETH
• LTC
• LSK
• DASH
• NXS
• ETC

I'm only thinking of coins with future, as some of you may know there is a lot of coins that will eventually go down to zero.
What coins have bright future in your opinion? What do you think so far of my approach?

2 of those and maybe 3 should be removed from long term holdings. If you can’t guess which ones I mean you need to research more.

Don’t buy Monero. Just kidding. Monero would be a good addition.

Well, the ones I will surely buy will be BTC, ETH, LSK and some LTC. I'm not sure about DASH, NXS, ETC tho.
ETC could be good for mid-term after ETH goes for PoS (after hardfork). Actually forgot about XMR (maybe I will consider small amount of it) but even the Monero's developer have said to not buy that coin :D (I think I've read that somewhere). So, buy or not?

Any other suggestions, anyone?

I like your choice. I think that's really a good coin. let alone ethereum and litcoin. I have a little suggestion to buy Monero, I think they have a project and a good future.

suggest STratis for you. :D But check carefully information about this coin.

Your portfolio looks good. I suggest adding Qtum to your portfolio. And you can consider some promising ICO to take advantage of the cheaper price.

Those are pretty solid coins to keep for awhile.  I'd shorten the list as I don't think LSK and NXT have demonstrated their long term potential.  I personally believe at some point the market will begin to consolidate into fewer coins.  For me, the long term holds in order of portfolio size are:

• BTC
• ETH
• LTC
• DASH
• XMR

I have a few holds that are smaller and in my mental risky bucket but betting they take off when certain catalysts are met:

• Waves
• DeepOnion
• OMG

It's just BTC, ETH and XRP for me. I do have others that I like and don't currently want to sell, so the list may grow. I suppose the thing with lower cap coins is that they have yet to prove themselves.

Thanks for replies guys :)

Will look into Qtum, Waves and Stratis (good mid-term holdings I guess), also ARK seems like an interesting position.

Well, at least 2-3/4 coins will be held for a long term without even touching it.
Although this thread is mainly about my long term holdings doesn't mean I won't hold some coins for mid term (half of a year or something).

I think following diversification rules will be fine:
- 50% of portfolio for low risk coins but possibly lower gains [long-term]
- 25-30% for average risk [mid-term]
- 20-25% for higher risk investments (including ICOs) [short-term]

I think I would choose BTC and ETH is the best choice right now, I do not think keeping ETC will bring about the desired profit.

you should add some deeponion too. The development team is working to finish the deeptrust feature. After that they will be adding deeponion to one more exchange other than Novaexchange, hope it will be a big one. There are more exciting things coming in the future, launch of deepsend. The price of ONION has dropped from $5 to around $1. This is a good point for long term Hodler like me to enter.

'nobody thought mothership??

I like your idea and can tell you have done alot of homework.  I'm personally not a fan of NXS or ETC though.  A sizeable portion of my portfolio is in LSK but I'm not sure if I would buy in at this point, my coins just appreciated greatly. 

Same as you, I've been studying the market for quite a few months and will now start to invest, Iwas thinking about this portfolio:

• BTC - 25%
• ETH - 25%
• LSK - 15% (before it's too high)
• ETC - 10%
• WAVES - 10%
• the other 15% I keep for investing in 1 or 2 good upcoming ICO (still to find)

I equal-weight BTC, LTC, Dash, and ETH in my top tier ... about 80% there.  Then the other 20% I have divided up between a few of questionable and risky new comers, that I don't really consider my long term holdings, but will hold indefinitely if they continue to develop as they say they will.

I have couple of long term coins but Waves is number one in those.
Also GameCredits, Status, Aragon...

Why do you believe on Lisk? Are there any news out, which will promise huge increase? I am only aware of a rebranding. But this is certainly
no helping  to increase coin price. Any thoughts?

I was looking forward to Red Pulse. Shame it's been postponed, but I suppose inevitable really given all the China stuff.

I would have loved to invest in Lisk before, because it already pumped a lot. But I think it could have a lot a potential with it's simple Javascript implementation for developpers. I hope it will continue to grow more. And, from what I've understand, with it's delegate forging system, you can get 10-20% interest per year, as I'm willing to hold it long term, I like that ;)

Great decision brother. Welcome on board. I'll still advise you not to relent on research. Research once or twice every 2 weeks. Keep visiting this forum. Continue watching videos on Cryptocurrency.

My long term portfolio is likely to be the following

- BTC (50%)
- ETH (20%)
- ERC20 Tokens (30%)

The tokens that I think may have a long term potential is OMG, NMR, ENG, EOS etc.

But I might adjust the token distribution slightly but not the BTC, ETH core..

Love this.

What about:

veri
omg
ppt
plr
kc?

Interesting choice.
My long term hodlfolio is BTC and ETH (80%) and short term portfolio include altcoins (20%)  :)

BTC, ETH, DASH, XMR, FCT

medium hold
Steem (prob -> to EOS), Stratis (if their roadmap holds out, i'll hold much longer)

Would suggest every one check out Iconomi too, i think it will be a really good choice for long term holders. BLX their index fund was just launched.

Think its really late to invest only in this ones who wants big earnings..

Your choice is nice but also look for other which a promising coins. I added stratis, qtum, verge in my portfolio from my waves, eth, mgo in my lists  which I believe they have a good project. But all of these ofcourse do some research which gives you a firm decision in hodling such coins.

Yeah! I'm also quite new in crypto sphere like you, but i make as much research as I can everyday. I have also caught a lesson that the portfolio should be well diversified like yours now. Otherwise you wont be pleased in future.
If I were you, I wouldn't wait until tomorrow and check in detail the Waves and ARK. If you make it, you can share your perceptional, I would be pleased to know your own opinion. Good luck!

Great choices. I think all of these coins will rise in price very much in long-term because they are always attractive for investors. I recommend you to add Monero and Waves.

hodlfolio : ICN, TAAS, XRP, GAM, WAVES

Good luck with that. Besides Bitcoin there is nothing that you're going to be able to put in that portfolio and actually show me profit overtime. Only bitcoin portfolio can give you granteed and risk free profit. Rest are all risky.
