New Crypto Investor with 30k - Deciding Between 26 Altcoins - Top 5? Bottom 5?

[thecryptonephilim]

I have 30k to invest. My goal is to 10x my initial investment and get to 300k.

I plan on splitting up my portfolio as such:
60% Ethereum/Bitcoin
40% Altcoins

I have spent nearly 50 hours researching Altcoins and have come up with a list of 26 that I am interested in. Ideally, I would be able to bring this list down to the 10-20 that I am most confident in.  My plan is to hodl for the medium-long term. I am not looking to day-trade. I am looking for companies that have established technology, established teams, and are here to stay & grow in marketcap/value.  

I have  done my due diligence of reading whitepapers, following relevant information on social media, analyzing the charts, etc. I am here to ask about these specific Altcoins.

I would like to hear your top 5 and your bottom 5 from my list, and more importantly, I want to know why. Why do you think they are good investments?  Why do you think they are bad investments?

I also would like to ask this question on relevant social media groups, telegram groups, forums, or whatever other places you think would be a good place to ask this question.  I'm looking for any leads that will help me set up the best possible, current, diversified Altcoin portfolio.

Pretty good list, they all seem like reputable projects so you've done your due diligence.  If i had to pick a top 5 besides Btc/eth it would be some combination of Bitbay, Neo/Qtum, Blocknet, LTC, Byteball.   

[thecryptonephilim]

Thank you for replying.  I spend more time researching your top 5.  Do you have a bottom 5 for the list that I made?

[dihari]

After all this euphoria, I will not invest on any altcoins which have they easy way. I think I will only invest my money on ico. No one doubt, ico is a good way to multiple your money in only 1 or 2 months. And now the best place to put money is on ethereum tokens or waves tokens. Imo

[lijoe408]

No bottom 5, they're all legit projects in some form or another.  I would probably replace Stellar and maidsafe as I feel those projects are somewhat stagnant.  I would just include some byteball as it has the same kind of tech as IOTA.  Also NEO/QTUM are neck in neck i feel as far as their position in the Chinese market.  I think Bitbay is the most undervalued on that list in terms of having solid development, community, and potential.  Blocknet I feel will be big and is something that will definitely be very important in the space.

Also i'm curious how will you split your btc/eth holdings in the 60%? are you 50/50

[BitcoinBarrel]

Steem, Lisk, Gamecredits, Dash, Monero, Gridcoin, zcash, Litecoin are all good.

[Vilrex]

Do some research on Ark

I would say go for 40% BTC, 10% ETH and 50% ALT's as you will get amount invested in BTC and ETH doubled pretty quick with huge pump after all this fork dirt is gone.

For ALT I would advice :
1) Stratis (STRAT) $5.06
2) NEO (ANS) $7.29
3) LBRY Credits (LBC) $0.424406
4) Golem (GNT) $0.235156
5) NEM (XEM) $0.165084
6) Ardor (ARDR) $0.106853
7) Waves(WAVES) $2.75
Ark (ARK) 0.4934

I agree with the 60/40 split.  The coins I strongly support are in RED and the coins I support are in PURPLE.

FYI, I like ARK alot as well.  

EDIT:  I'm surprised to see two others mentioned ARK.  I'm not coordinating or pumping anything, I just like the coin in a REDISH/PURPLISH type of way, lol.  Apparently others do to...

Also i'm curious how will you split your btc/eth holdings in the 60%? are you 50/50

I was leaning more towards Ethereum because I am under the impression that Ethereum will continue to grow faster than Bitcoin. Something along the lines of 80% Ethereum to 20% Bitcoin. I have heard stagnation in Maidsafe and Stellar and will look into it deeper. 

[originalcoin]

So far i have never invested. I have no huge money for that.

You can also invest in few good ICO's i think.

-TheCryptoNephilim

thats the ones im in , besides BTC and ETH

ad some good measure of LTC in that and you got something cooking

[cryptohunter]

glad to see bitbay there this has a huge potential for future growth/usage
blocknet isn;t there but then although it has huge potential does have more risk - still i would add some

iota I would switch out of go 50/50 with byteball then make sure to claim in future rounds.

[Nathland]

The top 5 altcoin a n which i would like to invest will be CIVIC, SIA, STRAITS, DIGIBYTE and IOTA. Rest of the projects are also very good so i would not pick bottom 5.

[3DesTeam]

Pay attention to coins with cap lower than 1M usd. They have the highest growth potential. So, invest 10-15% of your money to them.
Such coins as KURT, CXT, CREA , 1337, MOIN, KAYI and etc.

[escrow.ms]

You haven't included litecoin. Interesting.

[swissgang]

Lbry, golem, lisk, digibyte and ripple are best, the rest is normal for me but all of the coins in top 30 investable.

[Himanshu111]

I think you should invest in IOTA, ICONOMI, CIVIC, SIACOIN and DIYO BYTE for sure. You can also invest in the rest of projects as all the projects you have listed are very very good.
