If you really believe that...why are you here?

The logical thing to do (if you believe that) is to cash out, leave, and invest everything in Amazon stock.

If I may ask...

- How did you come up with these two coins? 
- How long did you investigate crypto in general before deciding on investing? 
- What were your source of information?

I like VEN and ICX.

Re: AION what you described (swing trading the gaps) is a red flag.  Reason I sold all mine.

How I feel? 

I hold 20+ coins and I don't have either.  That means I personally don't believe in them.  Good luck!

True but can ruin you fast also.  I know they are good coins but anything can happen on crypto world.  What if they got hacked?

One of the worst advise I've seen in this thread.  Sorry.

What type of investor are you?  Active trader or HODLer?

Believe it or not, how and where you invest will be totally different because of this.

WOW 18.39% gain in 4 months?

Meanwhile, VEN only made 1,597% in 6 months and ranked 15th.  :p

To your point, I maintain that exchange listing is one of many gauges to foresee how well a coin will perform.

The list I presented may intersect each other and that is fine, they are not exclusive of each other.

Thanks but I want to know how you are choosing them or keeping track of new projects...not which you have.  I already have my choices for now.

BTW, I do hold NEO and QTUM from your recommended list.

With 1,610 coins & tokens (and rising), how are you finding good or promising new coins?

I used to spend countless hours researching each coin and focusing on a few but it became unsustainable with new coins sprouting as fast as they do.  I used to focus on the;
1. Project/idea
2. Team (dev, marketing, owner/supporter)
3. Favorable news/reviews
4. Market support
5. Exchanges it is listed on
6. Collaborations

EDIT in:  I rarely "hunt" for new coins nowadays...I let them show up instead (near or in top 100 with decent community support).  I may miss the max gain but it seems safer this way.

Some coin/token creators have been very "creative" as well and focused on deceiving investors...basically selling something they don't have (not even an idea).  With them is the birth of new "weak handed" investors which creates an even more volatile crypto market.  For those who are in crpto for the long haul, these are just annoyances and even welcome for creating buy opportunities but I believe it is not good for crypto image specially during it's infancy.

I was over diversified and used to hold 35-40 coins, after consolidating, it is now down to 21.  It will fluctuate (up or down) depending on me finding good new coins.  My target is now is about half my old portfolio... 15-20 coins.

My portfolio is close to this...but I don't hold any of the current top 10... 85% of mine are on the top 11-35, 10% from top 36-100.  The remaining 5% is in "risky" coins.

I am holding 20 coins now...down from 35 a few months back (did some consolidation) and may reduce it a bit further later if opportunity arises.

The only way it will go that high is if it can fool many people to mistake it for Icon (ICX)...and pull another BCC (people taught it as Bitcoin Cash - BCH).

Put your money in something better.

Everyone in crypto in general is speculating so it goes that you BELIEVE in crypto if you are here...then looking for passive income coins make sense.

You may be right but anyone with that thinking (lacks belief in crypto), should not invest in crypto either.

My favorite passive income coins are ARK and NEO.

ARK is DPOS and NEO is DPOS(ish) ...where you just hold them in your wallet (NEO & ARK) and vote for a delegate (ARK) and you start earning coins proportionate to your holdings.  On average, I get one (1) free ARK a day...doing nothing.

I also hold LSK and it is a DPOS as well but I did not bother voting, my holding is pretty small.

I am thrilled about this new project and invite everyone to check it out!

OUCH!!!

I bought $500 worth for 5 cents and sold some for 53-87 cents, then re-purchased at 21 cents.  As a result I regained my original holdings of 10,000 REQ but now all are basically "FREE" and on top of that, I also secured $2,477 profit already  

BTW, this is in the span of 6 months.

I hold REQ and  I think it is a long term coin.  It can double by year end...hope to reach $2 in 3-5 years.

I've always believed ARK as the dark horse...it is overdue to rise but no hurry, it will get up there, slowly but surely.

This is a very common misconception about crypto investing.  IF you are selling to cash out then I agree that it is crazy.

In crypto, even if you bought BTC at $20k each... it can be wise to sell at $10k each.  That looks like a 50% loss so HOW?

SIMPLE.  WHEN the coin you are buying is on SALE for more than 50% and is expected to rebound as strong (if not stronger) than BTC.

The catch is finding the coin that will out perform BTC.  Many would rather play it safe and just HODL BTC and that is a perfectly good way to go too.  I just want to present the alternative and how it can work.
