Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,

I'm new here. I'm working on Wall Street (no, I'm not rich) and I've heard about cryptocurrencies a lot these days. Last year I've made a small fortune and I have $500k right now.

Five big coins and two small coins that have potential.

My portfolio:

10 BTC - $70k
250 ETH - $57k
250k XRP - $92k
1250 XMR - $100k
1m Zilliqa - $16k
1m XEL - $24k
120k SHIFT $40k

I have $100k left now. What do you suggest? Can you tell me other small coins that have big potential? Thanks!

What made you buy exactly those coins you have bought? I am sure if you really invested that much money into cryptos you didnt do this without knowing exactly why your CC portfolio looks like this and you already know more about this market than most of us here. If not I wouldnt invest any more money into this market or its gone at the blink of an eye.

Yea right, not rich but 500k in cryptos. If this is all your money I'd suggest take 450k out of crypto and invest it in sth more secure and the rest im crypto.

Regarding your portfolio it seems BTC is underrepresented there. Imho you should have at least 50% in BTC.

Well in any case good luck :D

Yep. Not a beginner. I know how to invest in stocks since I work on Wall Street. I only buy quality projects.

On the contrary, I think you have invested heavily already. I wouldn't suggest altcoin again for you but to advise that you sell off most of those coins now that prices are high and you can hodl btc and etheruem.

if you really have a huge capital, i think its better for you to sell your xrp, xel and shift then buying dash
after that you run dash masternode
https://masternodes.online/currencies/DASH
so, you can get a passive income mate
regards

Definitely not. I wouldn't sell my XEL and SHIFT for DASH. XRP? Maybe. I'll think about it. I've made that small fortune with small coins, not big ones.

but as you know that the price of Dash Masternode is around $ 131k and I think it's too expensive.
and the one thing that you need to know that to get ROI it will take around 5712 days based on masternodes.online (https://masternodes.online/currencies/DASH)

Not rich but do have $500k investment on crypto. haha Only a few people do have this kind of numbers on their portfolio.If you do just simply Buy all on Bitcoin you would surely profit or even just 2 coins btc & eth.
It might not give guarantees but i would stick to these established coins rather than risking into new coins because even if you do see it do have potential,you cant be sure if those would boom up later or just simply die just like on most shitcoins in the market.

Living in New York is expensive. I'm not rich. Also, I don't buy shitcoins, I'm very careful.

You should put those extra $100k in Bitcoin. It is the safest bet and word "safe in crypto" is as risky as you can imagine everywhere else. Just put them in Bitcoin so you might sleep few % more at night.

I would invest a small amount on exchange tokens. I know it's a high risk investment but if you think that in the last 2017 bullrun the exchanges were not being able to handle the amount of new users trying open accounts and they had to stop new registrations for some weeks, then we can expect that to happen again in the next bullrun. Some of these exchanges offer incentives for token holders and with the new influx of new users the Exchange tokens might be something to consider to have in any portfolio.

Also why don't you have any litecoin or Tezos?

Putting the investment question aside I would like to know where are you going to store those coins? I would recommend you to buy a hardware wallet like nano ledger S or a trezor, keep in mind thst having such an amount of coins on an exchange isnt safe at all!

you should not invest this much money in a market that you clearly have no prior experience in. jumping in like this will lead to massive losses and not just because altcoins get dumped but because protecting your coins (securing wallets,...) is not an easy task specially for a newcomers.

additionally if you look at the 10 year history of this market you can clearly see that investment in altcoins is never a good idea and even if it leads to long term profit it will be a very small profit compared to bitcoin profit.

an example with your numbers:
if you invested the $57k in bitcoin instead, this year alone would have given you $92000 profit but investing it in ETH this could only give you $10000 which means you would have lost $82000 because of a bad investment.

it doesn't stop there either. in the long run, like a year or two, bitcoin is going to continue rising while all these altcoins today will be worth a lot less.

This amount is already too much for me. I respect the choice you made but I'm quite confused with your choice of shift and XEL. I see that you are focused with smaller coins that can potentially grow when the bull triggers. You are good in diversification but have you ever invested elsewhere like real estate?

my2cents:
I can't understand how people can accept suggestions from totally strangers, for huge amount of money ...

@Monerw if you have already a "crypto-folio" and you have picked wisely your decisions, you have the knowledge to find other promising coins&tokens and not asking information in a forum to random people.

Not real estate but I have $500k in stocks too.

SHIFT and XEL are very promising projects. I don't buy shitcoins. Very careful about that.

Okay, sounds good so you are just looking for some other place to invest that amount. Volume for shift and xel is kinda low but if that's your choice, it's your choice not mine.
Did you intentionally skipped litecoin?

you have a good portfolio, but the amount of investment you did is too much.. but it's your money.. buy some BNB also

First of all, you should spend some money to buy cold wallet because it will ensure your property is safest. After doing that, you should spend $100,000 to invest in altcoin in the top 100 CMC because it will help you earn higher profits if the market tends to rise. In addition for large amounts of money you can participate in major IEO projects at the Huobi exchange, Binance because you might be lucky to participate in the quality projects they propose.

Can you briefly explain why you have chose Zilliqa, XEL, and SHIFT? Why have you ruled out coins like LTC and BNB? Do you any other coins in mind in case things don't go as planned?

i suggest to keep it incase of emergency , in fact those coins you have mentioned above such btc, Eth, and Xrp is good enough to gain massive profits because of being so very promising coins since market always collapse,  so keep the remaining and don't waste your money to buy another coin for your portfolio because for sure you'll need it in the future.

Wow, I don't really know why you choose to invest in this coins that you mentioned when there are other coins out there that you can keep possession of, though I want advice putting all those money into buying coins and keeping, that money is large enough to run a blockchain startup from small until it grows to an higher height, so I would advise that you use what is left to build a crypto startup company and I don't think you will ever regret doing it, you don't need to do something big like coming up with a new idea, you can just build on an existing idea and make it bigger and better.

Bought 1m BitBay today.

$90k left.

Are you sure? $500k is not small money, and I hope you know what you did. But it's okay for you if you already have that portfolio and I see that you have a good list of the coins. I suggest you leave that $100k in your wallet and let it the money in USDT or USD so you can buy bitcoin or any of altcoin when the price is down.

You need that $100k as your backup if the market is down so you can buy more any coins, especially bitcoin. That list of your portfolio is enough, and you have a good list of the coins.

Because they are really quality projects. Especially XEL and SHIFT.

Those projects are small because of no marketing right now. Their team is working on product. Don't buy projects that only focus on marketing.

I think ONT, NPXS and HOT are your best bet over Binance.
But to my observation, I also saw that projects which launch at Binance have superb potential but after dipping down a lot (if you want to purchase them after they start trading there) and if you believe in the projects (the latest one to launch will be Harmony), you should go for IEO price to save yourself a lot of money and reap great profits from your $100k.

NPXS is a project I like. It has been locked up for a long time between 9-11 Satoshi. My project to wait? I think it might make sense to choose different coins. Now in the ascension period it still did not show a positive jump.

a positive jump will occur immediately if bitcoin and ethereum also jump first. yesterday's increase in bitcoin did not so much make the altcoin increase. but maybe the next market growth will be a big leap for altcoins.

You can take a risk and invest on Electroneum, but keep in mind to not invest all money left on it because maybe you will not get so much profit and also can take a lot of time to grow.

They don't mention the Electroneum so why you compare this coin for this thread. You just only suggest the next investment and don't blubbering this thread. Now days many investors are ask the suggestion but own investment is always satisfy our future investment so suggestions are waste of time.

As you can see he ask when open topic for other small coins, so i suggest electroneum, is just my suggestion and i think that can have some potential on long time, i not bound anyone to invest on. He do what he want with money.

thats only if you want to get some passive income in cryptocurrencies
you don't need to sell your crypto if you have enough money to buy anothers cryptocurrencies
and just ignore my suggestions about dash, if you don't like it my friend
regards

Youre right! No one would ever invest his $500,000 without any analysis or just simply putting  up its money randomly yet those choices are indeed
good but there are coins which i dont really know at all.It might have potential but i would rather choose to stick up to the reputable ones or established that
had been here on the market for how many years.

I get it now guys, OP is merely investing into shift project and xel as well, check his post history he has the telegram channel and posted it repeatedly.
Dash is a good masternode but it's an expensive one.

I'll do it also and I know the majority of investors are more preferable to have more Bitcoin than of altcoins.
But I don't consider IEO's or ICO project right cause we know how they ruin the market, better to choose the working products cause we can assure that there is something we might get than a hallow product which mostly turns into nothing.

Try to see the Cardano coin (ADA) to be analyzed first because I would suggest investing in the coin with the rest of the money you have for investing capital in cryptocurrency, this coin has good potential for all of our future later and will be a lot the benefits we get.

On the one hand, Cardano is one of the hopes for the future of crypto. It aims to solve some of the most problematic issues related to digital currencies, such as scalability and interoperability. Meanwhile, he has a team leader who contributes to the development of ETH, the main representative of the second generation digital currency. Because of this, there was a lot of hope to see Cardano grow into a representative of third generation crypto.

I've already invested in BTC.

$500k is a damn big amount for me, so be wise bro about your money. My recommendation is Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin cash and BNB.

Maybe like 25% for eacy coin or you can add more percentage to ethereum and bitcoin cash. Depends on what you want, so good luck bro.

You should bought the 50% from that amount on BNB because its a good project and has a potential to grom any time sooner this year, Some people Says that it will double its price by the end of this year. So if you happened to invest on BNB there's a lot of percentage that you gonna earn some decent amount of money in the near future and that $500k of your will be doubled.

If you really have that much money to spend on crypto, then I would say put the rest in something with masternodes and turn it into a passive income. Obviously dyor though, not just anything with masternodes. There is plenty of good stuff out there as well as bad.

If this is true then you really don't need advice from people here - you'll certainly be able to choose better coins than I do, for a start.

As I'm sure you know it's all about research, understanding current state and using this to predict future state. What types of coin will prosper as advances in technology continue to change society? What will the world of the next few years look like, and which projects look best placed to play a major role?

If I have $500k, then my first priority is bitcoin and I will allocate $400k to bitcoin, the remaining $100k I will consider alt. I think you can reduce the ripple allocation and exchange it for bitcoin and bnb.

My advice is to re-analyze and reconsider the investment that you have made.

Seriously? OK, I will try to believe it and share my thoughts about the best potential altcoins to invest in. First of all, I will never buy some altcoins mentioned in the list of the chose ones. For instance, I will not deal with XEL. I do not think that this token can go up very fast. The better choice will be Litecoin - it seems to me that this altcoin is going to return its fame soon.

I will prefer to put the rest on the promising altcoin like BNB or another coin with real product. Are you interested to use masternode coin? You can try to put the rest into the exchange site's token or coin and that will be the best choice for you to consider when crypto gets increase and that will always increase too because token that created by active exchange site will give bring more value because that platform gets to profit from the traders or anyother service like launchpad or margin trading.

What is your total amount of holdings, stocks, bonds, crypto and cash?

If you have half of all of your money in crypto, that's pretty risky. If you have a couple of million, then it makes more sense.

If it was me, I'd probably say put it into btc. That is if for some odd reason you absolutely had to invest it into crypto.

But honestly... I'd say put it into a bond or money market fund if 100K is like 10% of your total holdings. I'd also reallocate the 500K in stocks if/when stocks take another bull run and cash out profit there.

The assumed crypto total assets he has was stated on the first post. But mate, I don't think that he's serious with what he's saying, just check his post history.

$ 100k is not a little money, if it is mine then I will share it again into several altcoins / tokens, one of which I think is indeed best to follow the advice of Agan to choose BNB because BNB is very good, is growing rapidly and has its own blockchain, potential in the future it is very big.

You already have reliable coins, I don’t there are smaller coins that are more reliable than what you have already in your portfolio, so you should just leave them there and continue to watch the market except you are giving up already on their potentials which you already confirm that two of them have very promising projects.

Since you trust them to continue existing and performing, then should not remove your investment, just focus on other things outside the cryptocurrency investment for now, because you know how the market is quite difficult to predict sometime, so it become quite difficult for people to genuinely advise you on a project without shilling their own coin to you.

Are actually new or you are saying new just because your account has a lower rank. If you think you don't have where to invest the remaining balance of you money why not you just spread it over your current investment portfolio which you must have so many factors into consideration before selecting them.

Are you kidding ? A big man like you who has made this fortune seeking advice from smaller investors like me, I am much honored. Well, you should not go too far, I know the coins you are holding now looks kind of high compared to how much you bought them when you invested in them, but I think you still continue holding these coin, they still have the potential to multiply your new portfolio by at least 3x in the coming bull run, but if you still insist on adding more, you could look into TRON, MTC, BAT and probably stellar, Binance would have been a good choice, but nah, it is already overbought.

Waited?
Here you have a rocket!

http://d.radikal.ru/d12/1905/d9/8e9a8a42aea5.jpg

what to consider, I think just choosing the right assets that we need to do to get our investment brings profit. because the market I think is in a period of correction, where many of the altcoins we can see have decreased in small amounts.

This is why people should not follow suggestions by perfect strangers on the web.

Can you share your public wallet address so we can believe your claim ;) if it's true then it's good to see whales joining crypto. TEZOS is usually where new investors go as it's easy to get free coins from baking, and coinbase is offering the service too
