Bitcoin Forum

Hello purpose of this post is to checkout the % distribution among the two commodities that we have here. I believe everyone see BTC and ALTS as different assets for the many reasons that we know.

On the scale of $ 100, if you were told to distribute the money in Altcoins and Bitcoins then how much will go in the account of BTC and how much will be in the altcoins account?

Also explain why you have chose that % !

---

The facts before you answer :

It doesn't matter which altcoin you are investing in. Just think about all kinds of altcoin altogther, whether they are under development, developed, running with full nodes etc etc.

Bitcoin has no conditions as such as it is what it is right now.

---

Let me start first :

BTC Allcoation would be : $ 25

ALT Allocation would be : $ 75

My reasons :

Altcoins are very much premature stage of bitcoin and I see them as little BTC of 2009 who eventually out busted like very crazy. After the period of 10 years all the altcoins (legit one) will have chance to grow and garnish themselves the same way and hence I think putting at least 75 % gross amount in it would be profitable.



You can use this code. Just edit the "INSERT" field please. This will make the thread look very clean and smooth. Highly appreciated if you use the code below.

BTC Allcoation would be : $95

ALT Allocation would be : $5

My reasons :

We came from a very tough correction and bitcoin is the most affected one. Bitcoin's dominance is high and will never fade so this can be a sure bet not only for long term holders but to newbies as well. My allocation for altcoin isn't that great but that's good for day trading.

BTC Allcoation would be : 50$

ALT Allocation would be : 50%

My reasons :

I don't want to take high risk of my investments. I use 50% Bitcoin to protect my altcoin investment lose. If altcoin fails to make profits, Bitcoin will help me to save the initial investment. I don't need too much profit, that's why I split it in this way. 

BTC Allcoation would be : 20%

ALT Allocation would be : 80%

My reasons :

I want to find a unique altcoin that will grow many times after ICO. Something like Ether. This is not easy to do, but I try. Maybe later I will reconsider my portfolio. But for today it looks like this.

BTC Allcoation would be : 50%

ALT Allocation would be : 50%

My reasons :

I am always ambiguous about both type of investment. If you would asked me same question some few months ago then may be my % allocation for the BTC could have been around 70% because back then it had really really good movement. Now a days I have seen some potential in various altcoins who are getting my attention to invest into them. This is coming out as result of disturbed patterns of bitcoin and too much ups and downs. If I was supposed to experience that then why shoud not try altcoins which are behaving the same way. They are undervalued as compared to BTC and thus making me more profits as I can buy lot of quantities of them by investing same money. Thats why 50% goes straight into them these days. 

BTC Allcoation would be : $ 70

ALT Allocation would be : $ 30

  My reasons : I think btc is more reliable than any other coins so I choose to hold more btc. But if I am careful enough, I can find the good alts to make the profit I need. So I will buy some alts as well.

BTC Allcoation would be :$0

ALT Allocation would be : $100

My reasons :

I think Bitcoin is more of a belief, innovation is always ALT, so from a perspective of the future, ALT is more valuable.

BTC Allocation would be :10%

ALT Allocation would be : 90%

My reasons :

Since I am a bounty hunter I am earning free Altcoins from bounties and airdrops. That is why I only got small amount of Bitcoin earnings because I am in a bounty program that prioritizes Altcoin with just small amount of Bitcoin allocation as payment. Most bounty hunters prefer Altcoin as holdings most especially those that has potential to grow because it might worth thousands or millions in the coming months or years. What I did with my Altcoins before, I converted all of it into Bitcoin when there is a good timing.

BTC Allcoation would be : 30$

ALT Allocation would be : 70%

My reasons :

Fluctuation in BTC prices makes it very unstable to commit so much money, so I keep that percentage for BTC bull runs. I prefer to stagger 70% of my money in alts that move very fast and I can buy bags to give me substantial profits when there's a spike in price, thus enabling me to make good profits

As everyone will have their own strategy for their portofolio so i will not say yours is bad and mine is better.
For actually i will not put my money in bitcoin but i used bitcoin as reference to buy or sell. I will buy etherium in 50% and others in other altcoin. Not only one coin, maybe 5 till 10 maximum.

Well ofcourse it depends on your plan always there are people go there portfolio all in the altcoins there are some 50/50 it really depends on how you look into crpyto market that you think which will give you more profit but it is always to good hold Bitcoin in your portfolio.

BTC Allcoation would be : 10% INSERT HERE

ALT Allocation would be : 90% INSERT HERE

My reasons : 

I maintain a permanent 10% of my
holding as bitcoin as bitcoin is much more stable, with a large number of investors, companies and hedge funds on it, you can aspect a secure future. On the other way alts are the ones if you desire quick profit. It's not a difficult task to predicte the price movement of alts and with right timing, your earning are limitless.

BTC Allcoation would be : 30%

ALT Allocation would be : 30%

My reasons :


Here I still have the remaining 40% where the allocation is to buy back if altcoin or Bitcoin and or both prices go down.

Most of the time I invest most of my money in BTC.
Only a small amount of money was invested in altcoin because it was risky.

BTC Allcoation would be : $60

ALT Allocation would be : $40

My reasons :

bitcoin is still the most dominant of alt available today, indeed for speed and transaction costs, bitcoin is still less than alt, but this does not mean bad bitcoin. I still expect a lot of bitcoin to immediately launch the lightning network and immediately solve the existing problems.

BTC Allcoation would be : $80ALT Allocation would be : $20 My reasons : I believe that bitcoin has more long term potential however, for a quick dollar I would put around 20% of my money into alt coins as they pay off well if you do your research well and cash out at the right time (not be too greedy).

I won't go on bitcoin and altcoins alone I'm gonna include fiat also because of BTC dip,  so everything is gonna be 33% fiat 33% btc 34% altcoins , you use fiat in buying btc when in dip and you use BTC in buying altcoins when in dip,  cool and easy way to make nice money

Personally i invest on bitcoin because i feel it is more secure project for investment. But altcoin also doing well. I observe them. If they maintain their performance i will also invest on altcoin.

BTC Allcoation would be : 80%

ALT Allocation would be : 20%

My reasons :

Bitcoin is quite stable and suitable for long-term investments. Altcoins are very volatile and are suitable for a rapid increase in my investment.

Bitcoin is the most popular crypto currency and it affect most other coins. So, i would divide it like 60% on bitcoin, 30% on ethereum and rest of the investment goes to other coins.

Allocate to BTC 30%
Allocate to Altcoins 70%
My reason; I will buy some altcoins "maybe more than 5" so I need a bigger allocation, nowadays, Altcoin projects are quite promising and their businesses operate in industries that have high market opportunities

BTC Allcoation would be : 33%

ALT Allocation would be : 67%

My reasons :

I would never go below 33% of my total wealth out of Bitcoin. The main reason would be obvious that it has more usability than all the other and also it is more trustworthy. Another notable thing is that I keep at least 15% in ETH and another 10% in LTC. Its my preferences.

It is easy my friend, i just have 40% of my funds on Bitcoin, because i trust on it, and the entire rest is on all the other altcoins that i love, just like ethereum, neo, and a few other mores.

BTC Allcoation would be : 50

ALT Allocation would be : 50

My reasons :

A bit late investing everything in Bitcoin, so try to catch up investing in ALT, also don't want to put all eggs in one basket, best is to spread it out and holding 50 of your total investment in BTC, I think it's perfect

I don't want to devide it all,i prefer to invest it all at bitcoin. Because,i have a full trust in bitcoin eversince. No one altcoins can overcome the bitcoin,it will be my good and better future,i assured it.

BTC Allcoation would be : $ 20

ALT Allocation would be : $ 80

My reasons : I think btc is very reliable but it is too high now. I can not make the profit I expect maybe. I think though there are more scams, there are some good ones. With the careful choice, I may make mre profit.

BTC Allocation would be : $60

ALT Allocation would be : $40

My reasons :

Since I am a trader who simply believe more in bitcoin and just very few altcoins that I can hold for the long term, I see most altcoins as a way to simply increase my bitcoin position for the long run, and seeing that most of the growth that you tend to see in Alts are not sustainable as only few of them usually do not get back to their historical support after a pump, makes me see most of them as more of short term than long term.
Just watch when bitcoin is in a downtrend or a bull rally, then you will feel me, so until most of the alts can stay much on their own without being affected by the BTC market, then this would keep working well for me.

Bitcoin allocation would be 60$ and all other altcoins 40$. Bitcoin is one of the most influential coins in the market. It influences greatly the price of altcoins.

I like to diversify because it divides the risk that you are running while you put your money in a single coin, that it is the reason of why i think that it is one of the most important things to do

Well as I am fan of bitcoin and I trust in bitcoin I have invested my 40% wealth in Bitcoin and other 60% in other altcoins. Though investing in bitcoin is a bit risky now for this reason I am applying this method for last few months. But I believe soon the market price of bitcoin will rise up.

I would allocate 40% of the funds for Bitcoin, 35% for ethereum and the remaining 25% for other promising altcoyins. Another six months - a year ago bitcoin was an unchallenged leader and with a good profit. Now it completely does not fulfill its basic functions as a means of payment and has largely lost its popularity. I give him such a large percentage so far, because practically all of the crypto currency has a price link to bitcoin and vseravno it will grow in price. True, I'm not sure already that such growth will be great. Recently, the risk of investing in bitcoin has increased, which is why I reduced the percentage of investments in it. While there will still be demand for ethereum, as ICO projects are developing, there are all new tokens that need ethereum to move. While I see a perspective in the altcoyins, bitcoin is gradually starting to recede into the background. Of course, it can still change.

BTC Allcoation would be : 33%

ALT Allocation would be : 67%

My reasons :

There is more movement with altcoins and if you pick carefully with an element of luck you can get more returns than just holding bitcoin. Equally, you can also lose so it's a gamble but it's one that is worth taking just in case you get lucky.

I have always been more of an ardent bitcoin lover than I will ever love altcoins, however, I still have some soft spot for some altcoins, and in that case I usually put more into bitcoin (%90) while less into altcoins (10%).

Bitcoin is more established, altcoins are more volatile and if I am to look at them in the OP perspective as little btc of 2009, then, I really do not need to be putting much into them, as the little I put into the legit ones right now should be good enough for me in 10 years, if peradventure, they get such huge increase.

I don't think that investment and financing need to be subdivided. I think it is me, then I will not buy Bitcoin. I think it's too expensive and it doesn't fluctuate too much. I may all buy Ethereum.

This totally depends on individual and the amount they are planning to invest. For me I keep the larger portion for bitcoin and the rest for altcoin.

60% for bitcoin, and the remaining 40% for altcoin. bitcoin will undergo major changes every year and this certainly will give you a big good thing too. besides that, simultaneously with the bitcoin certainly altcoin also had to be taken there to invest. many altcoins that have the potential and of course this result is worth the wait.

As of right now I have more than 50% in bitcoins and ethereum. But anytime it will change as I use both currencies on buying altcoins. I also believe that crypto especially younger altcoins are at early stage that they may become very expensive soon. 

Mostly my coin portfolio is made up of about 40 percent bitcoin, thirty percent ethereum. The other thirty percent is the spot that is reserved for all of the other altcoins that I buy. Whenever I have money that I want to invest, this is how I always split it up amongst the coins for it to go around.

What portfolio you have mentioned is actually the total volume of the cryptocurrency market standing now. There you need to go with the bitcoin and top 5 potential altcoins to invest and make profit with in some months bro.
If you really looking forward to invest on the good coins here are the below coins mate.
Ethereum
NEO
NEM
Waves
Zcash

BTC Allcoation would be : 50%

ALT Allocation would be : 30%

My reasons :

BTC has proven to be a safe investment for the long-term, at least from my own experience, so I've allocated a higher % of btc in my portfolio. With alts I'm much more cautious since I've experienced a few losses in the past since I used to go the long-term route...since then I've allocated a lower % of my investment in alts, and I'm also trying a different strategy to minimize the risks: short-term. The other 20% is just capital that I have prepared in case I need to buy some more (btc or altcoin).

In my opinion, giving an answer that works all the time, it's not the best thing to do.

For example, at the moment, I'm like this:

BTC Allcoation would be : $ 30

ALT Allocation would be : $ 70

My reasons:

I'm expecting the market will start to be bullish again before the end of the year, so I've invested in some projects which in my opinion have a lot of potentials. But then I will get the profits and convert them back to bitcoin (70%%) and altcoin (only 30%).

BTC Allcoation would be : 0

ALT Allocation would be : 100%

My reasons :

I am more interested in Altcoin because altcoin has a great chance to gain more than 50% profit even 200%. While BTC is a definite investment, but I am less interested if only have $ 100 is still too small for BTC investment. 

Altcoin is a risky but some still do have a lot of potential. I invest into altcoins from ICOs anyway, except for just few that I may have missed which still have a lot to give. I invest mostly 60 to 40, bitcoin to altcoin ratio, since there is much altcoin to play around with anyway. That at least gives my whole investment a boost even when the altcoins are not doing pretty well.

Moreover, we have to face the fact that altcoins are really not that easy to tamper with based on their volatile nature when things really want to get awry and it usually take those with huge support for some not to fall back down hugely. So, in some cases, I actually do go into bitcoin 100%.

Not everyone thinks in same way. So it depends on the posiition of the market. There are many currencies in the world, so it depends on our own government condition how we divide our wealth according to our country.

Sorry OP, I may not have to use the code actually, since I read through thread and I tend to discuss more as I follow through. The thing is that a lot of people may actually consider putting more into altcoins, but the fact is that, if we really want to look at the long term and the fact that investing in altcoin is still a highly risky investment as it is, then you would not need to put so much into altcoins. Unless we want to deceive ourselves, the sentiment in the market favors bitcoin more than altcoin and until then, I stick with my 90 : 10 for (bitcoin: altcoin) respectively.

BTC Allcoation would be : 30%

ALT Allocation would be : 70%

My reasons :

the potential of the bitcoin annually experience a large increase so reasonable if investing into bitcoin even long-term with the hopes of getting a big profit. altcoin has many types and many of those who have a good improvement. even altcoin like EOS and NEO deserves attention regarding its development. so it's reasonable if the allocation for more altcoin because it still has great potential to grow.

Good move imho. Probably, the OP should have added, fiat allocation in a way. Actually, I am just viewing other people's opinion as this may be hard for me being a trader. The thing is I trade the market, I believe in the long term growth of bitcoin, and its usage, but we are still far from that now, which makes me hold not so much as long term investment as what I can afford to lose (though may be much for some).

Nevertheless, I believe in trading fluctuations than holding long term since I am still going to be benefiting from the trend change anyway once I hop back into the market and in that case, timing the market works for me, and 50: 50 works fine.

This kind of allocation may be applied when we first enter the field. Over time, we may need to adjust the portfolio to a new trend.
Some people keep the same coins for a long time, but most add or subtract the number of coins, at least replace altcoin with other altcoins.

I prefer not to make allocations, because sometimes the dynamics of the market make us have to replace the portfolio with a new strategy.
It does not always go well, but a limit will not make the market go according to our will.

I did not have too much capital, so I decided to postpone buying Bitcoin. Not that it is not interested in Bitcoin, but I think in percentage, some Altcoin with smaller marketcap have bigger potential.

Well right now I have 60% eth in my portfolio and this because i am using it to invest in icos and i have 20% of bitcoin for long term hold and other altcoins make up the remaining 20%

BTC Allcoation would be : 10%

ALT Allocation would be : 90%

My reasons :

I dont feel any so much hype in bitcoin as of now. It is a waste of time when i invest and hold more bitcoin. Instead i divert my bitcoin fund to a altcoin that has a hype and got good profit in no time. And that is the time i return it to bitcoin and invest the remaining back to altcoin.

BTC Allcoation would be : 0%

ALT Allocation would be : 100%

My reasons :

Alt Coins such as Ethereum have a utility beyond just a simple store of value based on scarcity. Bitcoin does not.  

BTC allocation of 20%,  ALT allocation of 80%, I bought Bitcoin because I think this coin should be owned by everyone. While Altcoin very dynamic. We can even fulfill our portfolio with ten or more Altcoins at once, and that's pretty interesting. But of course requires a larger capital.

I think if I will divide my wealth between the alternative coins and bitcoins; I will make it 30-50-20. 30% for altcoins,
50% for bitcoin because they are the worthy one to invest and 20% for my personal matters.

To be honest i do not hodl Bitcoin because in my opinion alt coins have much bigger potential for growth

I have full confidence in bitcoin. No altcoin can overcome bitcoin, it will be my better and better future, I assure it and I do not want to share everything, I prefer to invest everything in bitcoin

Altcoins are surely impacted by the bitcoin market and if you want to invest in both then you first have to see the future potential of the coins bitcoin has been accepted at mass adoption so it will increase in price but when you come to altcoins investing is good but which to invest in is important

bitcoin should be at  least half at all times, than alts can be 50% too but at the moment bitcoin seems to be the other one not getting crushed over and over

BTC Allcoation would be : $50

ALT Allocation would be : $50

My reasons :

My investment strategy is to spilt 50% between Bitcoin and Altcoin. I do think Altcoin have room to grow, but I have high hope for BTC too.
