Bitcoin Forum

Hey everyone! I'm quite new to all this stuff, got into it in last September.
Decided I would finally invest a small amount by myself late December.

My goals are shared between some short term money available (profit) and some hold for long term.

28% ETH
13% XRP
10% VEN
8% VERI
8% TRX
7% BTC
6% WAVES
5% INT
5% SUB
5% ADA
5% IOTA

Advices? Thanks!

I could say "so far so good". Almost all of the coin/tokens that you've invested are on the top 100.
I don't see any high risk that you may end up with zero or negative returns.

Well, I highly expect for a price increase with XRP & Tron on the ff months of 2018. (I invested too ;))

Investment is safe, but you need to hold.
Don't get out early.

If it is me...

28% ETH
13% XRP
10% VEN
8% VERI
8% TRX
7% BTC
6% WAVES
5% INT
5% SUB
5% ADA
5% IOTA

...then purchase any of these; ICX, NEO, ELF, KNC, XMR, ENG, PRL, WTC, ARK, QTUM

Do your own research to determine if my suggestion is good or bad.  Good luck!

You said that you are new in business but actually when I see your picked coins that you're investing in I don't think that you're a newbie because it shows some research and some knowledge that you have . I like your list , I have just an issue with XRP , I don't like this coin at all even if he has the third biggest market cap . I don't see innovating project . By the way keep holding your coins and try maybe to buy more ADA instead of XRP . You will do fine

In my opinion, you should only choose between 2 and 3 coin to invest in this time, too many coins at the moment so you do not follow all the information from it and you will be more worried. The options that I recommend investing in are ETH, SUB and ADA. That's 3 altcoin extremely well and I think you should concentrate on 3 coin that would be better.

I took some kind of a guess with INT. Will see how this holds long term. I did try to buy some PRL but Etherdelta felt like a huge pain in the ass to deal with so I kinda let this go. I have some NEO and XMR in a shared wallet with a few friends. Dont really know the other ones..! Thanks!

I know people are divided when it comes to XRP but I'd like to hold some still. I could sell a few to buy more ADA though. I also thought about investing in an ICO in the next few days/weeks. I was possibly looking at Storiqa.

Nice list to start, diversified and minimum risks. But i can advise you include in your portfolio (no more than 10%) some promising projects with small capitalization like INS, Cobinhood, Telcoin for example

Off course many people different scenario about their portfolio but some will support your coin and some will not support your coins so based on that we cannot conclude those. It might be good for you and it might be bad for others so always check twice before investing into anything.

When you get settled with this you may want to consider putting a percentage of your portfolio into staking coins. 

never heard about storiqa , I will do my research about it and give you my opinion , you are anyway in a good direction , investing in ico is always better for more profit , just try to get the maximum of information about each project before investing your money in because as you can see there are a lot of scammers in this field , don't be impressed by extravagant propaganda because it may be a scam at the end , and you have bitconnect for example .

I will try to be careful as possible. Thanks for the advices!

Now very good for invest Spectrecoin (XSPEC), have very good growth potential

I like your portfolio for the most part. I have most of those same coins in my portfolio. I have a handful of others; NAV, ZERO, DEEP ONION etc.
I am not a huge fan of XRP, but I do buy and sell it quite frequently. Just don't sell on a panic, HODL and you should be just fine. Good luck!

Yes OP has actually done some basic stuff right that is invested in top altcoins and also some available at lower prices. All eggs are not placed in a single basket which will give him the chance to average out the profit/loss if market go upside/downside in coming days.

Based off your portfolio i think you are good to go, especially with coins like

28% ETH
10% VEN
7% BTC
6% WAVES
5% SUB
5% ADA
5% IOTA

I believe you are safe to go, Most of these coins are focus more towards on blockchain implementation and trust me, these are the coins that could be great over time

if you want a long term maybe you should add the allocation to alt you mentioned like, BTC, ETH, WAVES, IOTA, XRP and add as well DASH, XMR, XLM, DOGE.
why all the old alt options? because I think from year to year its price continues to increase.

For me, long term investment is Bitcoin and Ether. I always try to hold 40% in btc and remaining divided on 5-6 altcoins.

20% ETH
20% VEN
20% NEO
15% STRAT
15% XRB
5% IOTA
5% ELIX

this is what i would currently buy, maybe monero, btc, waves, icon or enigma

 I like all your picks except Veritaseum, I am telling you you didn't want to be holding this token long term, I think it will end up being a scam IMO, the developer is holding on to most of the coins and the team is made up of three people I guess which is very interesting
