Bitcoin Forum

Hi all, I would like to invest ~1.5k into alts, I understand BTC is the safest but I would like to (sensibly) maximise my gains and hence looking for a couple low market caps that could grow quicker. Looking to hold until mid/end of 2025. This is how I am looking to diversify, appreciate all your thoughts:

Eth $300
Atom  $200
Matic $200
Fantom $200
Dot $200
Injective $200
Ada $100
Quant $100
Hbar $50
Near $50

Not bad at all I'm sure you have spent time and effort to check the potential of these coins/tokens I will not question it here because all coins/tokens have the potential to skyrocket or crash based on the developer's activity and the community support, but always make sure to follow your portfolio and do not think twice to dump or add more because every coin has a direction of their own and some coins will go and some coins will remain always check that from time to time.

DOT, ADA, QUANT looks bad for me to be honest. I just see that from the development result. As you can see that how the development was also pushing it to have stable price.

As far as i know that if you shall also try to reallocated that funds to the L2 solutions. These blockchains are worthy enough to be considered as long term investment for you. Optimism, SUI, Aptos, arbitrum and many more.

If that's what you think will suit that $1500 capital you've got and you want to expound it with those altcoins of yours then that shall be good.


My concern on this one is that it's just too diversified. You can choose to have at least 2-3 altcoins and so you will have a solid portfolio with that. I'd rather have a few altcoins that I invest with greater sums than to diversify it with small amounts to many of them. But if this is your approach, good luck as you'll never know what will be the future of these altcoins of yours.

I agree with diversity and on not putting all your eggs in one basket, that is the right way to build your portfolio because you can never be sure of one investment only, Eth, Matic, and Ada are all good they are also in my portfolio, I don't about all the other, but I'm pretty sure you did research on the potential of these coins, its good that you don't have meme coins I assume that you are looking to extend it beyond 2025 because these are the kind of coins worth holding long term.

I am not a financial advisor, much less give financial advice. This is the usual personal opinion of a person. This is a good portfolio.

Allocating capital to too many coins will not guarantee high returns. Instead of investing a small amount in those 10 altcoins, you just focus on the 3 coins you like the most and think have the most potential. That way it will bring better profit for you. One more thing, I advise you not to invest too much in old altcoins like DOT and NEAR...there is no guarantee they will continue to grow in the next bull season. You need to learn about the history of the altcoins market, most of which failed to achieve new ATHs and were replaced by potential new altcoins. Investing in altcoins is very risky, so be careful.

With many altcoins, how do you manage your portfolio well?

Do you have enough time to follow up those project developments, news, hacks, collapses, security problems?

Why don't invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum and forget about other altcoins?

$1,500 is not too big capital to invest into many coins.

Well I think you should put most of this 1.5k into Ethereum instead of those others. I think Ethereum is only one of those with a real case for owning it and it has marketcap of $225 Billion and its only behind Bitcoin.
Those other alt coins you mention, are really just a bigger risk. They might make you big profits. But you might see them take big losses. I do not even know of most of them if I am being honest.

I'm not sure if you've actually researched these coins, but some of the things I see are repetitive and not diversifiable in the altcoin environment. I think of a proposal that you can refer to, about adding investments to portfolios with obvious criteria like altcoin top (ETH, BNB, DOT,...) but in my opinion only one is needed. Choose from them, new but potential altcoins (ARB, SUI, APTOS,..) and low altcoins including trending altcoins and shitcoins that you can count on to deliver profit.
And of course it's also important to establish the return goals you want, or the time you should expect them to be, risk and return is always abound in any investment, so always do your research anything.

Are you looking for financial advice or you want us to take responsibility for your choice? I think that we cant comment properly on your portfolio, as we dont know all he criteria's you have used to build that portfolio. Frankly, that portfolio looks like a mess. You have both, top old altcoins, and promising projects. Yet you avoid Bitcoin. If you dont want to hold Bitcoin as it is safest, yet give less profit, then there is no place for ETH in your portfolio, as it is basically same BTC.

ETH, MATIC are pretty good in my opinion, but I don't know about some of the other coins you mentioned. But why don't you include BNB in ​​the list, when BNB is a potential altcoin after ETH. I understand why you didn't choose BTC, but why not give some allocations as well because mid-2025 is quite a long time from now. The Bitcoin halving will occur in 2024, now is a good opportunity to start buying Bitcoins even if your only choice is altcoins. But think about it.

Probably to spread your egg on different basket. Some will argue to focus on bitcoin but if we talk about investment gaving different choices is much better cause well have choice to pick which one is bettet and possiblt chance to make it on bull run season. If you focus on btc alonex then your profits are possibly calculated. But its a different story when we talk about alt projects.

Thanks for your inputs, I agree this may be too many in one portfolio and will look to reduce down to 5 or 6.
In terms of keeping ETH in, its simply about trying to manage some risk as I know any alt can go down the drain, with ETH there is less likelihood of this.
I will look more into Arb, Aptos and SUI as a replacement for ADA/DOT.

Ethereum is a must on every portfolio we are different when it comes to perspective about investing in altcoins because there are so many coins to choose from, from our limited funds but those who have proven themselves over the years deserve to be on top, coins or tokens that has usability, platform to back it should be on top of priority, on my part I invest a lot on Ethereum, Binance, and XRP, there are risk on XRP and BSC but I'm sure these two tokens can overcome it.

The thing is that it is not easy to predict what the future holds for most altcoins, but I have edited with some of the top choices for altcoin investment,  and let's be more careful with the altcoin we hold for the long term since short-term speculation and this will go a long way in helping us take the best possible positions.

Ethereum will still get the highest percentage of my portfolio since other alts look more of a gamble.

An odd, in my opinion, choice of altcoins for the purpose, which is to reasonably maximize profits. All of these coins have already increased and almost all are in the top 50 of the cryptocurrency rankings. What are you counting on? They aren't going to yield much profit anymore. A few old and large projects in your portfolio is good, but it also wouldn't hurt to have a few young projects, and you don't have any. What's the point of buying coins of the same weight class?

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any suggestions for young promising projects?

If you really believe you will hold them until 2025 then I think you should only spend that capital on 1 coin, your list mentioned most of them are in the top 100 altcoins, and the price increases will all be widely distributed, not a way of diversifying investment assets. I think if you have time you should look back at some of the past bull seasons to see what you invest in, personally I have always preferred bitcoin and only a few top altcoins, and I only prefer to invest in altcoins when the real bull season is easier.

I think that is not a proper question to ask. I think you should find promising projects by your own. Because it is have to be your choice to invest into something, not an action you did after someone point you on something.

However, we might give you some hints, such as examine what is trendy now, and dont invest in it, because current trend has been for too long already and is about to change. Start with figuring out what were market trends since 2017. Usually they last for 6-12 months. Find them all and invest in something different what projects offer.

I like your chose of the three I selected from your post and I believe they will do well because of their peculiarity which will continue to make them be in popular demand. Don't be in a haste to dispose them even if they're dipping now. Be patient.

I think SUI is overrated. Though I've read and heard so much talk about it I wouldn't invest in it, at least not at its current price. With a total supply of 10 billion and at > $1, it's obvious it's over priced and will likely crash; crash even beyond redemption.

What do you expect the market to give you up to that period of time, you can imagine people who bought in the cycle where bitcoin dropped to near $4000 and until the rally came. current ATH level or not. For me, the diversification of assets in this market is a very broad concept, depending on many factors such as initial capital, as well as knowledge of the market,... Some views that I have noticed after this journey with the market always try to hold more bitcoins over time, and the strategy that i can suggest here is to spend most of the investment in btc, then when the cycle goes up really start moving on to the btc/alt trading pair, and also split altcoins into different categories like within the top 100, and outside the top100.

If you are interested in the tickers of specific projects, I, alas, will not give them to you. The reason is that everyone should choose projects on the basis of their own research, not because someone on the Internet suggested it and brought ready-made analytics. Finding promising coins takes a lot of time, so I don't want to just share it with everyone. It's not because I'm greedy, but because then you, or anyone else, might be motivated to do your own research. It will come in handy in the future, I've been through it myself, I can say with confidence.

You can't be looking for a low market cap project and be investing in the project you have listed, those project are high market cap or over priced. Ethereum is already in billions of market cap so if you're looking to maximize your investment, why would you invest in a project with high market cap.
Other projects you listed are over priced or just been hyped like Hbar that's been hyped on Tiktok and youtubers with the influencers shilling the project without giving any unique quality why we should invest in them. It's just among the top pick but no reason is given and that's why I won't invest.
If you're investing in mid table coins then your suggestions is okay but if you want a low market cap coins then search for those that are below 1 million market cap with good fundamentals as you would make a 100x by those projects reaching a 100 million market cap.

This seems like a very reasonable portfolio of projects in my opinion. From your list i personally have bought Cosmos and NEAR in the last few months. I personally like about them, that they have native staking and therefore the bag of Cosmos and NEAR keeps increasing why you are hodling it. This is always a nice bonus for me. I personally would probably not buy Cardano, because i think the big hype about their smart contract functionality going live is already over again and since then it is very silent about Cardano, but of course that is also just a personal opinion and i think ADA will also do well when we are going into bull market sometime in the future.

I would like to see your reasoning behind picking those coins. You might be on to something but why those over 10000 other coins/tokens? Are any of those still relevant after eth scales? I can totally see that there's a change you can make more money with lower marketcap coins but betting on eth competition or in the future possible irrelevant layer 2 tokens is a hard sell to me. There was a time that i would have totally bought these but development phase of eth has been faster than i thought. And now i am more sceptical on most of the altcoins out there.

You may expect to gain higher profits by choosing those altcoins. but, do you consider that the risk is also higjer than holdong Bitcoin? But if you are ready with the risks and you have analuzed that those coins are worthy to invest to get high gains, it is  okay for you.

but if this is for me, I will focus more on top coins and erase several lists above like Inj, Hbar, Near, and Quant.

Those are too many altcoins for diversification, in my opinion, you should select about 4 or 5 at most and divide your capital in them and make sure you choose coins and tokens that have great potential, I don't see how Injective, Quant, and Hbar are potential projects when we can't even see them getting traded in the present time.

If you choose tokens solely based on their roadmap or development promises, that might end up badly for you since a lot of projects start with big promises but end up not being able to fulfill them and eventually close down in mid-way.

From those lists, I will prefer to use:
1. Ethereum (ETH)
2. Matic
3. ADA
4. ATOM
and I will add BNB on my list.
Btw, don't forget about having Bitcoin. Although the profits may not be high enough, but at least, this is the best crypto in my opinion that canmot be left.

btw today the market is experiencing dramatic drops. Well, this can be a very good ideas to add more amount of all cryptos to buy in lower price.
