Is there any recommended amount or percentage of each coin you should hold?

[inmortal009]

Currently the most I hold is Bitcoin and a little OMG and ETH but trader wise, is there a recommended percentage?

My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

[pooya87]

you should choose these percentages based on the amount of risk you are willing to take.
bitcoin is obviously the most solid investment among all cryptocurrencies so naturally it should have the biggest percentage.
other altcoins depend on where on their pump and dump cycle they are. if they are in the initial stages of getting pumped you can increase your percentage and as they go higher and enter their bubble you decrease that percentage or dump them completely.

Thank you very much, can you elaborate on the pump and dump cycle of alt coins? Does is follow a pattern?

There's no like standard recommended percentage, but it's always a good idea to diversify more depending on how much value you're holding. Let's say for example you're holding like $50, then there's almost no point in diversifying with such low budget. But if you're holding like $5000 or so, it would be best to diversify.

I think you're holding too much OmiseGo in my opinion. Good tech, yes, but I wouldn't risk as much as 30% on it. I suggest using a 50-10-10-10-10-10 ratio of cryptocurrencies instead, with 50% bitcoin. But it's up to you.

I don't think there's a standard percentage  of Bitcoin or crypto currency to hold as an investment. All depends on the your investment capital and the coins that you think has a profit potential. Although Some time it is not rational to put all your capital in just one investment. You can spread your capital into top Ten different coins.

Yes I agree to you that there is no standard percentage that you need to sell the coin because the trading are unpredictable there is no exact percentage that the coin become its highest point and you earned profit from it but there is always a changes in the market that makes the coin become profitable better than expected price that you wanted to sell

[13abyknight]

It all depends on what you see for a particular coin and time you deicde to hold it for. Personally, I don't make percentage statistics of my investments but rather stick to see what coin will do better and put it on the top of the list and the other coins follow suite. The coins with least potential and might drop in my eyes, will stick at the bottom while I decide to sell/hold on to it.

if that makes you feel comfortable maybe you don't need to ask as long as you have the nerved holding those investment and assume that you
already research the potential to move up i think it will be depend on the person but like  you i also put bigger share for bitcoin and if possible
just to hold every btc that i got i will do it and wait for that good result.

After study cryptocurrency portfolio very well I think one should partten they portfolio in this ways at least 50% of the risk capital should be invest to bitcoin, 10% to ethereum, 10% to litecoin 5% to neo 5% to lisk 10% to zcash , 5% to strats and 5% reserved for ico investment.

[Nicol3]

It actually just depends on your comforatability, because at the end of the day it is you who decides around how much percentage you are willing to risk and I don't think most people who have HODL'ed their coin have a specific amount of percentage on each coin, they just HODL them based on their instincts and what amount they could afford to risk.

Always have bitcoins. Bitcoins to keep as bitcoins, bitcoins to invest in shitcoins, and bitcoins kept as liquidity to dive into once in a life time opportunities.

Always spare atleast half of your total investment to Bitcoin, as by default Bitcoin price grows. Now for the other half. Keep the 10% to ETH and the rest to other undervalued coins NEO , QTUM, PTOY, OMG.

[Aamir1]

If i was to divide all my money into percentage, then i would have kept 80-90% bitcoin and the remaining percentage would have been for other coins, but i don't hold any other coins except bitcoin. I feel other coins are good just for short-term trading but not for long-term holding. Just buy them when they are low, and sell them back when they are a little higher than the price you've bought them in.

[TheGreatPython]

There isn’t a recommended amount to hold, just follow your instincts and don’t let what anybody said change your mindset, you should just keep what you think would be sufficient for you when the market is booming

It is up to you if you want to hold more than the standard or recommended percentage in holding your cryptocurrency on your trading. However I believe that in your own trading technique, you should leverage them and diversify so that when loss happened, you still have other to gain profit.

There is no specific percentage recommended it all matters on you and what you want to achieve with your investment, if you think it’s going to bring in much cash for you then you should invest a lot, but if there is an atom of doubt in you then maybe you should test it with just little money

That question should only be asked by someone who does not know how investing is like. People are different and so are their wallets and paychecks, now its your responsibility to sit down and plan your finances so that you can invest effectively and also be well to do

[ongels]

It is necessary to budget wise your coins.. I don't consider recommended or  percentage amount to hold.. depends totally on how you balance handling the coins, just make sure you are satisfied the value before selling it

[hatshepsut93]

It all comes to how much risk you can afford. If you have small amounts of money to invest, you may want to take bigger risks, and if you have bigger amounts, you should take safer bets. Bitcoin is the safest cryptocurrency, so it's very suitable for higher amounts. ETH and LTC are too big altcoins, they are more volatile than Bitcoin, but can be hodled together with it, in smaller proportion. Then you can choose coins that has some potential - it's important to do your own research and don't just blindly trust in whitepapers and hype. Coins like Monero, Golem, Sia, Steem, Golem belong here (from top 5 to top 20). They might succeed and return huge profits, but also might fail. All other coins (starting from top 20) are very risky and very likely to be just pump and dump schemes - they are bad for hodling long term in high amounts. Just remember to always research about coins you are about to invest, instead of blindly panic buying.

Who exactly would make such a recommendation and why would anyone listen to it? Obviously if I'm recommending an altcoin it's because I own some of it and want the price to go up. Make your own decisions.
