Bitcoin Forum

I started buying crypto on 23th December 2017 again - after a long period of waiting and hesitating.

I had my first bitcoin (5) in 2013 then got scared during the crash, sold and not thought about getting in again.

Now after a lot of researching, I took the decision to step back again into crypto. In my opinion there is a once in a life time chance to gain decent profit with a low invest.

Below is my final portfolio, which I'd like to hodl till end of 2018.

The focus is on growth chances. Apart from BTC and ETH all coins have medium or (really) small market caps.

All picks have been choosen on threads in this forum and on basis of an early portfolio review here - thanks to all members for sharing your views. On top of that I've researched a lot on this projects and I'm sure that every project has a bright and shiny future.

I would really appreciate your comments on my final choices.

Bitcoin (BTC)   6,82%
Ethereum (ETH)   11,69%
Quanstamp             5,99%
SONM             7,77%
Burst (BURST)     7,79%
ColossusCoinXT (COLX)      6,53%
VIBE (VIBE)                    10,54%
Oyster Pearl (PRL)    13,52%
Elixir (ELIX)                    17,43%
LUXCoin (LUX)              6,60%
Hubii Network (HBT)      0,96%
Payfair (PFR)              2,08%
Hawala (HAT)              2,27%

Profit since 23th December +60% so far.

Seems like a good portfolio.

Some risky plays and some good plays. I guess there is always a possibility to discuss about special pics...but looks good overall

I like it with some minor changes.

I already dumped ColossusCoinXT because I don't think it have a real future.

VIBE is 100% keeper and I would increase it share. 2018-2022 will be years of VR/AR.

Very good, I'm holding Elix and PRL  ;)

Ok, agree with VIBE. Did you hear about the commercial during superbowl from Monster where someone wearing a vibe shirt (https://vibehub.io/) clearly visible. Also in this scene Joe Perry from Aerosmith - What a combination. This would be a real pusher for this project and technial background is great.

Why did you dump Colossus? I think privacy coins will have future but I did not like XSpec because it seems to be pushed to much and I missed the entry point.

Hi i am new i have PRL too how you hold it besides on the exchange i really want to move it from exchange into some cold wallet or some wallet where i can have them backed up lmk thanks

I would increase the share of BTC in your portfolio. Now it looks risky. Remember , if BTC goes up very high  - altcoins will for sure fall down deep, at least the most of your coins from the list. So ,  if you have 30-40% of BTC  these situations are not dangerous for you. You always able to buy cheap alts with BTC. You will have more coins as results. CHeers!

To hold the bitcoin I'm sure. but altcoin is always influenced by the price of Bitcoin.
unless the coin is already reliable I dare to hold it.
for example ETH, XRP and LTC

I like the portfolio, there are some coins of which I do not know much but I have heard good things, since your goal is to grow your bitcoin then I suppose it was to be expected that you took some risks, but the fact that BTC and ETH consists of less than 20% of your portfolio is a little bit worrying to me since I am risk adverse, but that is a portfolio which will give you nice profits.

That's right, but I think minimum 50% in BTC would be better. Depends on you, if you can stand the situation when BTC pumps and alts fall.

I disagree here. I myself don't hold BTC at all. When BTC on the rise I do sell few altcoins just to prevent any more losses then after price stabilize I jump straight back to alts again. These falls are only temporarily and usually doesn't last long. Week hands get shaken and whales make millions of USD.

Agree. I strongly believe in a year of bigger growth in alts. Therefore there is only a limited share of Bitcoin in my portfolio.

I don't know what the future will bring. Maybe another x10 of Bitcoin. I think there is no reliable way to predict the 2018 market. My feeling says: ALTs - therefore I go for it. Better a bad and straight decision taken as spending the whole time between alts and btc.

UNIFY and RUPX.
very low max supply.pos.good coins and community.
unify is up 2500 % in a few months(from 0.006 to 0.22)
unify has maximum coins of 19 million.marketcap is near 4 million.
bittrex and cex.io are planning to add this coin soon.
10 $ easy by june 2019.

Interesting portfolio but ... I see some hyip and propaganda backed coins like ColossusCoinXT (COLX).

I do not see any "reliables" that could boost your long-term value like Waves, for example.
You should also include some coins that pay dividends like KuCoinShares and BridgeCoin, both included in my backing fund.
But, of course, every crypto-enthusiast have it's own vision of good portfolio. :)
Good luck then!

Quite a diverse portfolio you got there. I just don't like the Elixir 'lending' one with taking up 17,43% of your portfolio.

Loving PRL! Best of luck to you my friend, please make sure to check back with us in a year.

How often will you check your investment out of interest? There is a good app called blockfolio I use to keep a track of all my investments in one large chunk. Worth getting that or something similar to see how things are, if you are bothered.

Elixir has such a big share, due to the growth it has since I stepped in (x4). I like this project and expect another 10x, therefore I keep the high share

Currently I check several times a day with an app called CoinCap. I think it is more
or less similar to blockfolio.

My portofolio for this year and i will do everything not to use this asset :
1. Exscudo / eon : have 16k in total probably will buy 10k more for setting masternodes when main net launch.
2. Idex from auroradao : i buy dvip for trading there because having dvip will give me free transaction fees and when aurora token launch i will stake it. We can get more token for staking.
3. Crypterium : completed package for cryptobanking and i will using it for daily use. Hard cap reach at ico and its mean developer will make complete banking for crypto such as : credit/lending , apps for merchant, NFC payment without plastic card,
4. Atlant : i dont see the development but maybe they will comes up with surprise. ( i still doubt it )

Looks like some solid choices.  You have less than 20% in the two big ones (Eth/Btc) and the rest are relatively small market caps.  So you will likely see a lot more price fluctuation.  Good luck.

In 2018 there will be new great projects with new crypto giants. But I would suggest to invest into BCH, ARDR, LMC, IOTA, OMG, WAVES, ICX, 1st Blood. However, in any case, I will invest main part of my money into bitcoin and ethereum.

For now I have BTC, IOTA, XSPEC and XBY

Will probably try and invest in 3 more, but still on the fence, and have not yet decided which.

Spread your coins between

1. Waves - fastest and most scalable blockchain in the world

2. Neblio - ETH with 8 programming languages

3. SpectreCoin - it has already had a minor explosion, soon to be the next Monero. Basically its a Monero on PoS, but will have first ever in crypto Stealth Staking. Easily 100$ price per coin in 2018

4. Rest is BTC

Already worked with 2 out of 3, but it is just a start.

Didnt work with WAVES, but it a matter of when. Project is still MASSIVELY undervalued.

I wouldn't hold Quanstamp, Sonm, Burst, ColossusCoinXT, Vibe, Oyster Pearl, Elixir, Luxcoin, Hubii Network, Payfair and Hawala for a year. They may be long gone in January 1st 2019. I expect this bull run to be over in 365 days later. I would only hold Bitcoin and maybe some Ethereum before the big crash. The coins you mentioned are ok for short term gains.

Why do you think that this coins may be long gone in 2019? Can you please explain. You seem to have much more experience in crypto than I have.

I would increase the portfolio holdings of Bitcoin. People usually have at least 40% of their portfolio holding Bitcoin. This is due to the fact that many believe that Bitcoin will only keep rising, with a few dips of course. Other than that, your coin choices look very good. Good luck!

I agree with all of your picks, but I would only focus on 4 of them. My portfolio is almost similar to yours but I have 10% BTC, 25% ETH, 32% PRL and 32% Elixir. There is definitely huge growth with the 2 small market caps and of course, the big dogs are good hedge bets just in case BTC and ETH dominance comes back.

Portfolio seems to be thinly stretched. Though solid picks

you may  add some coins that has good roadmap and advantages.i put some my portofolio to universa.if you observe this comparation with bitcoin and ethereum you will feel interested

waves,, just just put waves in your portofolio, or try to do a research on waves
i think this year waves will grow faster then last year

What can we say each of us makes up our portfolio of those coins that are most attractive for certain characteristics. Your list is good in the sense that there are coins that can very quickly start up and there are coins for the long term. But I would change some, because I'm not sure about them.
