How much did you spend on the crypto?
Take at least double that in profits.

Both crypto and the stock market have gone up to unprecedented levels; I strongly
suspect a retraction will occur in both within 5 years, but timing the market is a
fools game.  Decide on your taking profit levels and stick to them.

With those gains, diversify further into assets that generate income monthly, e.g., bonds,
mutual funds that invest in bonds (Pimco & Vanguard have some decent funds here),
rental properties, etc.

If you want to remain in crypto, redistribute some of the remaining profits into
Proof of Stake coins (if ETH ever gets around to implementing it; that's probably
a good one)--this way all you need is to leave on your computer and it
will mine more coins for you (no ASIC hardware and massive amounts of power
required).

I invested about 10k, and am taking out 30k. Am Hodling the rest. Diversifying slowly, my coins have taken a real hammering lately, (as has everyone's), which is fine. Am happy Hodling  Smiley

Nice amount of profit and I like your top coins, I would definitely have to take at least 25% out and think about how the tax situation works in your country just to be safe and avoid any hassle.

Yes, even though we have huge amount it is not possible for us to withdraw them immediately because government  will demand more tax for your withdrawal. So we don't have any other choice.

I can withdraw over $100,000 a week through coinbase where I am, but, like I said, am Hodling for now.

 
OP 600k are just little you need to work more i think spend more time here in forum so you can earn again like that and i think base on your constructive post we need you here but that's your life do what you want i give only suggestion or option another thing if you have that kind of money i think i build a business by that for more secure and more good to my families future.

I have been active on this forum for a long time already, I just set up this newb account to discuss money, I don't want people knowing how much I have on my other account, as people get jealous. I already have my own company my friend Smiley

is 600k worth a lot where you live?

A serious question, because you can't retire on 600k in the US.

If it is a lot, then retire. At 25.

Once retired, give me daily advice on how to do better, in other words: manage a % of my portfolio  (big name for a small pile)

I live in a super expensive European city, 600k barely buys a flat! (Think stockholm / Oslo / London/ Geneva sort of expensive!)

Will be a while before I retire.....

Right now I would say that it will be good to invest in ETH, like some others has recommended here. It is quite a good investment since ETH has been one of the most developed coin in the cryptocurrency scene and has a lot of plans for this year. I am not sure though how will the community react to when the time comes that it shifts from POW to POS, whether it would raise the price or it would drop everything down due to the fact that we should remember that the Ethereum Foundation practically holds shit tons of ETH in their reserves which will result to them being the biggest miners in case POS is implemented. However that will still take a long time, probably it would take more than a year to happen. Before that time, I think prices could even triple or quadruple due unless Bitcoins upgrades itself.
Ethereum is the good choice of crypto currencies to invest because this coin having high potential and possible to touch the position of bitcoin in the future. other than that the amount of this coin is affordable for many users, not like other crypto currency even bitcoin.

I prefer to go for lower capped coins that hold real potential, Ripple I will never touch because I don't agree with the centralization aspect of the coin, and I think Raiblocks is actually a much better coin than ripple, plus is it truly decentralized. I would rather have a 43% stake in Raiblocks than Ripple for that reason. Like I mentioned, I will diversify my portfolio into a few more top 10 coins, and Ether will be one of them.

If anyone is reading this and is unaware of Raiblocks, Oyster Pearl or Enigma, I suggest you read into them. All very insteresting projects that could have a big future.

I am aware that it is a risky game I am playing, but I feel confident I know what I am doing. I Hodl'd my BTC through thick and thin for 4 years before I was happy with the return and am happy to do the same for the Altcoins I believe in, I agree a little diversification will make my portfolio "safer".

Just to be clear as well, I am 100% believer in blockchain technology and even if I were worth $600,000,000 I would still have large stakes of my money in crypto, as I think it is the future.

Oh and for anyone that commented saying I don't sound a newb to the forum, I am not I hold a hero member status on another profile, but I wanted to be a bit more anonymous when talking about a delicate topic like this  Wink

Wow thanks for all your help guys. looks like I have some responding to do!

As for my plan, I am taking out 30k, my intial investment was 10k in 2014, so I am 3x up no matter what happens now. I am going to buy a nice car and have a nice holiday this summer with my money.
I will diversify my portfolio with a few top 10 coins, IOTA and Cardano look good to me. I think Bitcoin and the Alts will ebb and flow a lot this year, so plan on moving most of my funds back into Bitcoin when I see a bullrun commence (I think this will be around mid 2018 when other big banks start offering investments into BTC) once the bullrun has ended, I will flip back into Altcoins and hopefully make a tidy return. I will keep you all posted on how it turns out for me  Cool
 

Just be smart. Take small % off the table the more milestones you hit.

For example, with 600k why not take 10% off the table and keep it in FIAT.

If the market crashed you have some chips on the sidelines to get in even heavier at lower prices.

This is the way I would play it. I would never cash out 100%.


Thanks, this is the advice I will follow dude!
Lucky dog!!
I think you already have the answer,you say the XRB and PRL can double easily.
So, I think you should hold them without doubt.And the other,you can sell a half to get
more cash!If the whole market goes down,you can get more coins,on the other side,if
the market keep bull,you also can earn pretty much profit with XRB and PRL.
Above is my opinion!Finally,you have to make a decision by yourself.

Lucky? No. I didn't accidentally buy Bitcoin, and I didn't accidentally trade it for PRL and XRB, I did my research and backed coins I saw had potential to grow.

So, I am fortunate enough to make 600k from buying and trading Bitcoin and other crypto assets, and I don't know what to do with the money. Personally I think this is the year I will become a millionaire, as I can only see the marketcap of all coins growing.

[.....]

This is not based on greed btw, I want to make enough money so I can buy my siblings houses and see them mortgage free.

What would you do if you were me? When do we call it a day and give up trading?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Are you saying you've never taken profit to USD? You've been actively trading altcoins.... what is your tax situation? How do you plan to deal with the capital gains?

Raiblocks has already seen phenomenal growth. Sure, another double is possible, but the idea of not taking some profit off the table seems certifiably insane to me.

Your portfolio is not well-diversified. I would stop thinking about buying people houses and start thinking about better diversification and overall exit plan. You especially need to craft a tax plan that considers short term vs. long term gains and maximizes the capital you can reinvest. Remember, none of this is real until you have some of that USD value stashed in real bank accounts. It's prudent to put some gains away for taxes and a few years of living expenses, while reinvesting profits from your remaining capital investments.

I have never touched any crypto money yet, though I ordered a Bitcoin Debit Card last night and sold some Bitcoin-Cash I had on an old wallet. In my country there is no capital gains tax on Bitcoin yet, so I dont need to worry about that. I am diversifying my portfolio now, thank you for your help.

600Kcrypto - I'm roughly 15 years older than you - 40. The time is going to rush by for you - 26 today - 45 tomorrow.


With this plan you are almost guaranteed to become very very rich in life. If you stay in crypto at this point you are gambling with your money. You have a $600K nest egg - a GIGANTIC head start in the wealth game. Use it wisely.

Also more advice:

-STOP TALKING RIGHT NOW ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN WEALTH TO YOUR FRIENDS. NO GOOD CAN COME OF THAT.
-Get educated - if you do not yet understand and are educated about modern portfolio theory and behavioral finance, economics and statistics - make it your biz to learn. For the record I don't believe MPT holds water but you need to know it because it underpins almost all financial advice given by pros (again I think they're wrong - I'm a value fan of Ben Graham and W Buffett). You MUST understand discounted cash flows, time value of money, net present value, internal rate of return and other core finance topics because they are the foundation of all wealth building and investment analysis - take a course at your local jr. college if you have to

Best of luck - remember the #1 rule of investing is DON'T LOSE MONEY.

The #2 rule is - SEE RULE 1.


Thank you so much more your kind advice, I will look into all you spoke of in great detail, as I need to think of an exit plan soon I believe, on a small note, I dont discuss my wealth with my friends, my family, my friends and colleagues - none of them have any idea I have these assets, only 2 people know, one friend is a lot older than me and doesnt understand crypto at all, but he puts so much FUD in me its untrue, now everytime I see him he is asking if I have sold it yet. I wish I had never shared the secret with him.

Hi Guys

I've been in the crypto scene for many years now, first time post here over a dilemma I am facing.

So, I am fortunate enough to make 600k from buying and trading Bitcoin and other crypto assets, and I don't know what to do with the money. Personally I think this is the year I will become a millionaire, as I can only see the marketcap of all coins growing. But friends close to me think I am an idiot for not selling yet, and if it were to collapse to zero, I would never forgive myself. But they don't know the market like I do, and I do believe that it is only the beginning. They say I should sell 95% buy a house, a car and live a nice lifestyle. I am frugal, have always lived within my means and never spent any crypto money as of yet, but I am tempted to start spending some of it now. I am 26 years old, rent an apartment and drive a car worth less than most peoples pushbikes.

My portfolio currently looks like this....

43% Raiblocks
40% Oyster Pearl
5% Enigma
4%Dash
1.5% Bitcoin
and tiny holdings in Waves, Lisk, Stratis, Game.....

I think that both XRB and PRL can double easily this year.

This is not based on greed btw, I want to make enough money so I can buy my siblings houses and see them mortgage free.


What would you do if you were me? When do we call it a day and give up trading?

Many thanks for your help in advance.
