I know ETH is going to have a good 2018 but surely it is not going to be the best performer out there. It seems kind of a safe bet.

I am very new to crypto so my portfolio is mainly ETH that I gained with mining, airdrops and quick investments.

So I wonder...

Would you hodl ETH? Or would you invest it in other coin/s in the hope of bigger gains?

Would you go for Smart contracts (WAVES; EOS; NEO) or anonimity coins like monero and forks? Or any from the equihash family?

Even though I think ethereum is overvalued now, you should not sell it as it has the biggest potential in the market considering the futurıe, you might sell very little amount of ether for other coins.

Ethereum is going through a price spike at the moment but many argue that it is justified. Well, Ethereum offers good technology and many ICOs are basing their efforts on it for the release of specialized projects but if the ICO bubble ever bursts ethereum's price could be going down with it. I think that you should always be conservative with how much you'd be willing to lose and be decisive on when to get out.

Hi there,

i think Spectrecoin - XSPEC is a coin to definitely take a look at, i think its one of the best and undervalued coins out there.. v1.4 to be released imminently.. the best privacy coin on the market currently, recently listed on Bisq a fantastic decentralised exchange, i purchased from Cryptopia exchange, can also stake your wallet and earn interest on your coin balance... also the wallet in v1.4 will have a slider function so you can also contribute a percentage of your staking coins to the development fund...

•   It is PoSv3 so its low power and very fast - 60 sec transactions
•   It has stealth addresses that make your transactions go through separate uncorrelated addresses
•   It will feature Ring Signatures from v1.5 on, that makes your digital signature of transaction signed by a person of a specific pool and otherwise untraceable.
•   It is first ever coin that has TOR with OBSF(ucation)4 integrated natively into an opened client. It makes your TOR traffic appear normal to a provider who would
        otherwise block access to TOR.
•   It has got encrypted chat function which is a big deal for privacy
•   It has professional cryptographers (15+ years in the field)
•   Also new website is coming on the way, since present one doesn't seem to be attractive at all
•   The grassroots community is strong and becoming organized, check them out on telegram and slack

2018 will be a big year Spectrecoin, low market cap and very cheap coin compared with similar coins in the privacy coin market which i think will become more attractive once regulation increases

ETH is now very potentially infestations and trading because very potential future to get leuntungan.

Definitley reinvest it, in an Ether backed token!

Why? Many tokens are backed against Ether, meaning they still benefit from the price increase in Ether when you change them back to Fiat.

For example I would suggest Oyster Pearl (PRL), it made massive gains during the week, and still has potential for 5-10x in next couple months.
Better yet, it also benefited from the price increase ether saw during the last week.

I am now always keep reserve in ETH. Too much going on based on ETH like good ICOs. Still I feel Neo has some catching up to do if you compare ETH market cap and Neo. I am currently holding both tokens. ETH has been my homebase in crypto from the start and I do not regret it.

because it has been created using Ethereum Technologies (erc20) it doesnt mean that it will always increase just like ethereum is doing.

There are a lot of coins that when etherem goes up, those tokens go down too, it is just like a correction. All the coins have their own movements, they are not copying ethereum or whatever you want.

Maybe sometimes they are just following bitcoin, but only because they are following the hype.

Just keep the ethereum that you have, do not sell it.

hodl, it will rise to the moon in february 2018, an expert predict

Hold your ethereum that will worth a lot soon. You must have seen the ethereum roadmap 2.0 which means that gives you ability to get the morecoin through your ethereum through the pos system.
I suggest you to not sell your ethereum just for another shitcoin with not purpose at all. Eos just a copycat and it seems worth.

Well sayings dude, because I also think the structure of ether is good for new ICO. But if we see a burst in ICO sector, I actually don think so, ether price may drop a bit. But rateher than ICO related things, ether has its own value too.

I would definitely plan to hold your ethereum. I would say 2018 will bring a big jump in value for this coin. I definitely plan on holding on to my ethereum for the long term!!

I will divide it into, 70% for ethereum, 30% for waves and monero. But why do not you think about adding bitcoin in your portfolio?

If you are newvbie, the best option for you will be invest in Ethereum. Yes it is one of the safest way so looking for something other is unnecessary

Its much safer to invest in ETH now as you say. But stil a lot more coins to look at in 2018. Few of those are already in your list like Neo and Monero. These two coins are really gaining a good value in the market. So better you hold the ETH you already have and buy monero and Neo. You can still look at few other coins like, Litecoins, bitcoincash, Jinn, Ripple and Bitconnect. Go through the list in coinmarketcap.com. This site would clearly give an idea on which coin to invest.

Depends how much risk you want to take on.  ETH is a safer investment than other coins.  I would probably keep 50-70% of what you have, and use the rest to invest in other alts. 

If you don't like any risk, hold onto your ETH.

If you have additional money to invest, just hold all the ETH and invest in other alt coins.

You can do both at the same time so you are not worry of your other concern. Holding ETH while have an active trades to other coins.

That's what you called a diversifying strategy meaning not putting all money at single coin. Now for the coin list, it's up to you what will you consider since we have different views at each coins.

The weird thing about the price of ether is that a lot of Ethereum's long term value is that the platform is useful for doing ICOs, but on the other hand the ICOs (at least in the short term) put downward pressure on the price as people raising money convert ether to cash. Makes it hard to estimate a future price.

dont go for forks, they are a big scam in my oppinion. go for smart contracts, i would sugest you Viberate. ( you can read more abaout it here: https://www.viberate.io/ )

You should hold your ETH and keep earning on ETH. Then invest some of your money to diversify your portfolio

Ethereum is the best coin to hold long term right after bitcoin. I don't what you can buy and hold after selling ethereum. You may do risky short term investments but I would suggest anytone to stay instead.

Etherum is and will be second coin to invest after bitcoin, it will try to just break first position on crypto market but bitcoin will be the king with etherum right behind him, so just invest and hodl long term.

Always hold a lot of Ethereum, it will be worth 100k by the 2030s if it's still around.

Outside of that, diversify a bit and buy some quality alts. Keep at least 50% of your crypto investment in coins that are in the top ten market cap. With the exception of the occasional ponzi of course, never touch shit like bitconnect when temporarily moons.

Ethereum will be the same as neo, the big holders of ethereum can keep their life with only from staking their coin. as you can see how many people are staking their coin to the neo platform and this will be happened to the ethereum too which makes total supply become fixed.

I think do not sell it full just a little to invest other coins because there are so many potential altcoins also in the market aside from ethereum in the other side ethereum is best to hold for long term to gain more profit from it.

I do agree with you mate... HOLD is the best answer for ETH.. I'm doing the same for BTC... both had a great future,, and I believe I will have a good profit in the future by holding my ETH for now ~

If now then just hold down the first or buy only first ethereum because if according to my view, the coins will be riding high in the year 2018. While the current price is not too high then take advantage of the only existing opportunities.

Don't look into Ethereum as a long term investment, as it may not work succesfully as that.

I would not sell ethereum, take al ook at other altcoins to invest and hodl eth

I would go for anonymity coins, a lot of governments are looking to bring out regulation against crypto or ban it altogether in the near future so the anonymity coins are probably your safest bet for good returns in a world of heavy-handed regulation...

hold the ethereum belonging to invest long term. from the on sale in the near future but only made a profit not how. It is better to invest long term in order to produce something more than it is today.

I am going to hold my ethereum for a very long time, I think it's one of the safest investment in the crypto world. The price is very stable compared to bitcoin, and this coin is a lot better, faster transaction time, lower fee and they have an actual use case. Ethereum 2.0 is going to be really amazing I cant wait for it

It is better to hold by this time instead of investing on some no future coins. Maybe in 2018 the demand for ethereum will grow up, because of new companies launching an ICO. A long term investment wait until the price of ethereum would be like BTC a big pottential i guess.

If they switch to POS with Casper version, the price will increase too much.

Ethereum is a very solid altcoin. In fact, at least as far as my own opinion is concerned, Ethereum is the leading coin in the altcoin world. It comes second to Bitcoin. However, I believe that it is best to put your investments into different coins. It is actually what the great majority of crypto investors are doing. Adding Waves and Monero, as you mentioned, is a good move. These two coins will be flying higher in the next year.

It is true that ethereum will go high in the next year but it is hard to say how high it will go. There for i would prefer investing in couple of different alt coins that have potential to moon. That would be much more profitable.

I think that you need to invest some amount in other altcoins and some keep for HODL. ETH is already a very successful project and it can not give too much profit in a short period of time. But it can give a steady and slow growth of your capital.

In my opinion, investing ethereum is the best you can do right now. Ethereum has a stable price. Although it is currently down, but just hold your altcoin within the next 2 months. According to altcoin and channel observers who discuss altcoin, altcoin prices will return to normal, altcoin prices will slowly rise and toward their peak prices. Do not rush to sell it now, just invest your money to buy ethereum now, then get a lot of profit. While prices are down, buy ethereum as much as possible, is not it a good time to invest ?, Just monitor the market situation and price charts. And predict what will happen. So you will get a lot of money from your investment. thank you

Just holding ethereum could get the best profit out of the same which we cannot expect from any of the other altcoins. If the user is interested in making more earning through what he has in the wallet, but doesn't have the patience to keep hold of it then it is good to make themselves active into trading the one that makes a growth in short term.

Ethereum is a project that should be kept in mind for me. Because it looks like we will see much better places in the future when we look at what they did up to this time.
