Are you a bagholder? Which altcoins do you hold?

[gamer455]

I recently re-organized my portfolio. I try to spread the risk, but when I truly believe in a coin / dev team / idea, I am willing to spend some more. Currently, it looks like this:

- LKK Lykke (the mobile apps are very well done, the roadmap looks very promising https://trello.com/b/IV0PH2gs/lykke-roadmap and the team is engaged af, plus not on exchanges yet)
- DCT Decent (one of my earliest investments, cannot wait for the mainnet launch. Even though the team is not very well in marketing here at bitcointalk, their appearances and presentations on events are very promising)
- IOTA (strong community and use case, until now very undervalued, very excited what happens when it get on exchanges)
- TIME
- KMD
- INCNT
- MLN
- WAVES
- XEM
- EDG
- PART (sigh..)
- "The Token Fund"
- Some hack.ether investments I hope will pay off eventually (but possibly wont): Coindash DST, Artcoin ART and Etherisc RSC

ETH - as i believe, that it is a future of blockchain in common.
XRP - just cheap now and there is a lot fuss with this "bank of N-country bought X mln$ XRP, Z-country bought XX mln$" etc...
ZEC - i prefer this crypto among those 3 with anonymous tech.
Actually i am scared to loose money, i am now almost doubled my investment. Dunno, wether to sell already or still wait.

Not a bad list of coins you're holding there, mate. Since they're among the top 10 cryptocurrencies in market cap, they will be supported in trading volume and activity for years to come. Many of these coins, have great development too which may help them survive in the long term.

Look at both ETH and ZEC, which have an established foundation and a dedicated development team to help them advance in security, usability, and innovation for years to come.

Still, while they are great coins, remember to never invest what you can't afford to lose, as cryptocurrencies are highly volatile.

You can also hold PoS coins, although most of the times, you would be left holding the bag when the dev abandons the coin. Just my thoughts.

Nice!!You are holding a lot of altcoins.
I just holding one altcoin and that is Expanse.
Expanse is really a great altcoin for me.

[dissident]

NEM (XEM)  2,249,850 coins give or take.

No reason to sell.. it's going to hit 800 million in the next 2 weeks.   It will be a solid number 4 behind Ethereum and Ripple within a month.  

Also kraken and poloniex are taking forever to do step 3, verify driver's license.. so until they stop dragging their feet I'm not going to start trading my stash. It took coinbase all of 2 minutes.  I'm brushing up on cryptos after a couple of years idle, getting my computer secured with malware scans and the like, locking down the browser, getting the 2 factor authentication backed up in my safe deposit box, adding some paper wallets to my lastpass, and getting ready to enjoy the evolution of cryptos and the newfound interest that is ongoing.

I just holding one altcoin and that is Expanse.
Expanse is really a great altcoin for me.

Yeah. Expanse is one of the best Ethereum clones out there, with many unique features. It has been able to remain intact when the ETH split occurred, surviving replay attacks. One the things that I really admire about EXP, is its development team and community.

In addition, it has features that are quite interesting such as the Expanse Bonds System. I believe that it is truly unique and shows that the cryptocurrency aims for innovation. Still, I wonder why it's undervalued, considering that both ETH and ETC have higher price and market cap, being the original codebase for Expanse.

Nevertheless, the list of altcoins which are worth investing and holding, is extensive, making it a troublesome way to set up a bunch of wallets for all your coin holdings. Only stay with a considerable number of altcoins invested, to avoid this hassle. Just sharing my thoughts.

I have many altcoins bags which were abandoned by the developers and those are real bags. I have some good altcoins which are on rise and giving me good profit. I have at the moment Stratis,Iex,Darcrus,Waves,Block,Xst and some others. These all have huge potentials to become huge in future.

The most disappointing thing about altcoins, is when they get abandoned by its developer and community. Then, you would be left holding the bag since the altcoin(s) that you're holding would lack trading volume, and most of the times, lack of established markets for it. That is why, it is always best to look out for cryptocurrencies that have an active development team, a solid community, and innovation to prevent losing all your investments in the future.

I see Waves, Lisk, Stratis, Decred, and Dash as altcoins with huge potential. They will change the world of cryptocurrencies for the better. Just my opinion.

holding
IEX
PIVX
TRST

i believe soon will be listed on poloniex

Not a bad list of coins you're holding, mate. Among that list, I would choose PIVX as the most prominent altcoin, since it brings innovative features, and a solid development team, not to mention that it has privacy in mind.

Every coin that gets listed on Poloniex, gains some traction in trading volume and activity, since it's an exchange where big traders and investors rely on.

Nevertheless, it is always best to take the necessary precautions with any altcoin, as there could exist the possibility of the dev abandoning the coin, making you a bagholder when no exchanges trade the same. Just my opinion. 

[chineseprancing]

I just want to hold the Bitcoin and ethereum, because value of bitcoin were still raising up, I will wait until I sell my bitcoin into 2$ per 100k Satoshi and to ethereum I think their value were moving slowly but I believe that their value were raising up.

[iluvpie60]

I hold onto a few different coins on various exchanges. Nmc ltc btc nvc yada yada. Its good to flip back and forth between some and others to hold. Stuff that is like 5 cents a coin is easy to buy a thousand and hold.

[Route66Retro]

ETH, LTC, DOGE

In crypto land, there are a variety of cryptocurrencies to choose from, since the inception of Bitcoin. Many of them provide innovative ways for us to transact in our daily lives.

Some have advanced features and higher transaction throughtput than Bitcoin, and others are just cloned from BTC's codebase.

While the majority of altcoins are pump and dump, there are very few of them which are worth holding.

That is to say, we sometimes end up holding the bag when an specific altcoin massively declines in price.

Nevertheless, I would like to know if you are a bagholder of altcoins, and which of them do you hold into your wallet?

As for me, I hold plenty of altcoins like Casinocoin, Virtacoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dash, Ethereum, Ambercoin, LiteDoge, Tekcoin, Stratis, MonetaryUnit, Teslacoin, and many more (the list is extensive) Due to the many altcoins I hold for a pretty long time, I consider myself as a bagholder.

What about you? 

Thats a huge list, I only have ETH, STRAT and GNT but I love your diversification strategy assuming you adjust it as good/bad news comes in and prices change. I don't have huge amounts but I guess I could call myself a bagholder as I do hold for the long term.

Nice decision, mate. These are the most prominent cryptocurrencies on the market, despite their current issues like scalability and smart contract security. If you continue to hold these coins, then you would make a nice profit in the long term.

As for me, I'm looking to stay in the top 10 cryptocurrencies for holding into the future as they are very promising.

All these tokens that are popping up strike me as having no inherit value. The idea I'm going to buy a piece of rainforest or something using a token and actually have the company keep up their end of the bargain and not take the money and run strikes me as being a bit naive. If investing in an ICO, it better be a real blockchain...   Yeah I'll still take the airdrops when they're offered though, I'm a hypocrite like that.    I'm skeptical of the whole ethereum based tokens app platform... I'd rather invest in a coin more currency focused, which is why I'm simply holding XEM.

[salmanahmedone]

There is no more badgeholding for me, I collect all sorts of coins and when the price rises slightly then I sell for BTC and then via debit card.
So I can spend and buy something for them, so I just watch how the price grows and falls and I have use of it

Yes, thats the best approach for short term traders or those who do not have lots of funds to trade. Getting small profits out trading on daily or weekly basis is the best option even for me also.

Yeah. Most of the newly released altcoins have a period where they become hyped, but as time passes by, they decrease in price. There have been many ICOs, yet only a few have delivered as promised and remained solid on the markets upon launch.

That is why, in my own opinion, most of these tokens are just pure speculation, rather than serving as serious investment tools, or as a usable financial ecosystem. One of the things that I like about NEM is the delegated harvesting feature, which allows you to "stake" your holdings without leaving your wallet open at all times. There are many other features that make NEM a great cryptocurrency, which may be the reason that it is number 4 in marketcap right now.

Nevertheless, you should always be careful when investing in ICOs and selecting your token of choice. There are many scams out there waiting to take out your money, if you're not aware. So make a research about a specific cryptocurrency or token to play safe. Just my opinion.
