Bitcoin Forum

I have a small portfolio of coins, now nearly 30 of them. I want to reduce my risk in general as now it seems that most coins are quite dependent on Bitcoin and / or Ethereum.

In your opinion, which coins can balance possible drops of price in these two better? I think of IOTA and XEM but I am sure there are others.

I would always have a little EOS, LTC, WTC and PIVX to balance things out nicely.

I hate to tell this but to balance your portfolio I would add some Bitcoin Cash.
It should work good cause it seems often going against BTC in price movement

omg, wtc, icx

That sound like a sensible option. I thought of it but it seems that BCH moves too much to my liking, high volatility and all that. I am accepting volatility if if could eventually go x10, but I think is not the case?

I am familiar with OMG only, I think that it has been a great performer in the past but I doubt that it will keep on growing as much as before. Are WTC and ICX unlinked to BTC?

Recently, I refused useless coins and most of the money I keep in bitcoin. The rest of the money I distribute between the least risky coins in my opinion - the ethereum, monero, dash and waves.

I will advice you add Litecons, ripple and monero to your portfolio. IF you prefer you can allocate some to a profitable and promising ICO and you resell when it hit an exchange.

here is my top pick:
1.NEO
2. STRAT
3.IOTA
4.ETH
5.WAVES

My pick will be NEO, it is another platform that offers somethingquite different and some projects are lining up to use the platform for ICO, I believe when the platform is ready it will be a great one

I'm sure everyone understands that 2018 will be the year of alternative crypto currency, and now it's time to buy promising coins.

Analyzing many other projects on such criteria as the total number of coins, work in the community, self-financing, technology, and, after seeing how the developer works, I made a choice.
My choice - Spectrecoin XSPEC

1) SpectreCoin (XSPEC)

Very interesting project that will definitely go up in price! - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103301.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103301.0)
XSPEC - I'm sure that it will cost much more than now, I buy this coin for all my money!
Indeed an anonymous coin which is dynamically developed by the community!
Here is an article about the fact that a very profitable investment project - https://globalcoinreport.com/heres-why-now-might-be-a-good-time-to-pick-up-some-spectrecoin-xpsec/ (https://globalcoinreport.com/heres-why-now-might-be-a-good-time-to-pick-up-some-spectrecoin-xpsec/)  ;)

Dont buy more coins, just sell a few that you have in there and try to invest that money in solid coins.
What coins do you actually own right now? You haven't posted your portfolio in there, why dont you do so? Maybe we can help you out

Now that Big Banking is in crypto, I feel that you can't go wrong by hedging your bets with Ripple (XRP). Good luck!

Ripple seems to be going opposite to Bitcoin and Ether. I will buy some in order to balance my Ether, EOS and other cryptos.

I think you have too many coins in your portfolio. Can you narrow it down to 10-15 coins?
You can first narrow it down to 25, then 20 coins. When you see a rise just take profit and switch to another coin that you already in your portfolio. That way you can earn more money.

To balance your portfolio. Don't buy crypto. balance come if you have something not connected.
Stokes, Cash, House etc.

You should have a proper way to allocate capital. You should divide your capital into 3 parts, including: short, medium and long term. You should list 20% for long term (ICO), 30% for medium term and 50% for short term. You need to invest a lot for the short term because you can trade daily with that capital so you need more money to have a good psychology when trading. For medium and long term investments, you will need less capital because the capital will be held for a long time until you can make a profit.

That kind of makes sense to me. I would say that I would not put more than 10% long term, because this market is too unstable for that, so for me it would be something like 10, 30, 60. I would need now to decide which to chose for the 10 and 30

BCH , LTC & DOGE are the joker and game changer for me.

I actually thought of that one, but it seems very volatile at the moment. It is permanently in unknown territory, although not as much as bitcoin gold of course. I think that one is a bit scammy??

OMG definetly not. It is very linked to Ethereum and even to Bitcoin to some degree. Also, I think that it is terribly expensive at current prices. I will look into the others.

Oh, well, my whole portfolio is a bit "private" LOL, but the larger shares at the moment are:

Bitcoin
Ethereum
XEM
Quantstamp
Tron (did not buy a lot but now it is)

secondaries are
Neo
Monero
Waves

and quite a few others.


And a less know one that I think will be a rocket this year is Astronaut.

You are right, Spectrecoin (XSPEC) have good tech and strong growth potential
