[POLL] How diversified are you in Altcoins in Q1 2020?

[dragonvslinux]

Running this poll for a couple of months as curious to see how diversified people on here are in alts at the moment.

What percentage of your crypto portfolio is in Altcoins? Do you plan to increase or decrease this % this quarter?

With Bitcoin's incredible 2x rise in market dominance from 35% to above 70% in the past two years many believe alts will still never make a come back, others think that this market dominance is due a correction. With BTC dominance currently at 67%, this suggests that an equal-weighted (low risk) crypto portfolio would consist of 33%* altcoins (a third).

However, If you consider that 99% of the crypto projects will continue to die, then your low-risk weighted portfolio would probably be somewhere between 10-30%. Personally mine is around 15%, though looking to increase to about 20% next month, maybe 30% if things really start to get moving, but otherwise I'm being relatively conservative.

Feel free to shill your new & old bags, or coins you're considering buying.

A few recent buys of mine are; $LINK $ENJ $XMR $TRX.
Others I'm looking to buy: $RLC $ATOM $XTZ $KNC $LTC
Some of these are intended as longer-term positions, others as shorter-term trades #stackingsats

70% of my crypto is BTC. 20% is held in select altcoins like DASH and ETH. The last 10% is held in lesser altcoins for the purpose of quick trades.

70% of my crypto is BTC. 20% is held in select altcoins like DASH and ETH. The last 10% is held in lesser altcoins for the purpose of quick trades.

Likewise, when it comes to allocation or partitioning my funds here on crypto then i do only consider on putting 20% of my capital in alts and the rest would be purely on Bitcoin.

My alts held were on ETH and Monero.Im ready if these alts wont really succeed but basing up into its progress we can really see the potential of these coins or
rather stick to top ranking alts in the market.They are either good for short term scalping.

[Coyster]

No offense intended to the altcoin investors, but my portfolio is about 0-5% altcoins at the beginning of 2020, I've had to put all my capital meant for cryptocurrency into bitcoin investments as new altcoin projects fail incessantly and investors see their capital burn.

I do not intend to totally cast aside altcoins investments, the 5% i have are in the top altcoins and I'll buy very little more this year, just incase altcoins doing well in this year, as for new altcoins, till something good starts to come out of them, I'll not go close.

[hatshepsut93]

I hold only 4.7% of my portfolio in alts, and I have a strong intention of reducing it to 0% as soon as I'll see a good pump. My ETH investment will be somewhat profitable, because the initial price was lower than the current price, but my XMR investment is currently at a 50% loss - I hope to at least break even some day, but I doubt it will happen, privacycoins got seriously cucked by all these regulations and AML crap.

[minairia3]

My portfolio is consist mainly of bitcoin 75% of my investment is entrusted to btc. The remaining 25% is left for some major altcoins such as eth, xrp and bch. I know this is also a huge risk but I trust btc so much. I pick all major coins to be safe. I dont want to play games with some shitcoins or those new projects that lurking on the market. Yes there are some potential one but still a risky venture. But I am indeed investing on some major IEOs but its just for the ROI during its hype and now its gone. So focusing all my remaining to these coins.

[bryant.coleman]

Here is my portfolio:

Bitcoin: 93.92%
Bitcoin Cash: 5.13%
Ethereum: 0.58%
Other altcoins: 0.37%

There was a time when altcoins composed almost 30% of my portfolio. But I reduced the proportion in 2018, when it looked as if the Bitcoin dominance was increasing. I sold most of my altcoins and tokens, except BCH and ETH. And it looks as if I did the right thing. If I had held on to my altcoins, then my net worth would have been much lower.

[shinratensei_]

I have been getting a big loss about more than 90% from my initial investment and this is how i diversify my investment to recover my lost that makes me get 3x return right now.
60% in bitcoin as my reserved funds and bet on the bitcoin halving.
40% to the altcoin which was having potential.
I just never try to invest in fork coin.

The result will depend on your choice whether it will make you able to recover or not.
I did it in 3 months to recover all of my losses.

I just try to deal with high-risk high returns.

[maydna]

I will take a look at the first of the altcoin market before I diversified my investment in the altcoin because I already buy altcoin in the last year. But that will not stop if I can see the altcoin movements can grow in this year, I will buy more amount because the altcoin will have a chance to increase. Perhaps, 30%-40% will be enough to diversify the investment in the altcoin.

But I still try to make more bitcoin as I am sure that the bitcoin price will increase to a higher rate. I still searching for the best price for ethereum, litecoin, dogecoin, atom, and more because I see that coin also has a chance to increase. But I will not invest in that coin only because I see the other coin have the same thing as those coins.

[Latines]

My crypto portfolio is entirely composed of altcoins. I believe that a good altcoin will always give more Xs than Bitcoin, because the Bitcoin machine is big and slow, but it goes forward, but it does it slowly. Altcoins, on the contrary, if you choose a good one, you’ll make 5x faster.

[Balladtony77]

Seriously i'm only holding limited altcoins and I will never go fully on altcoins until bitcoin grows bigger than it's ATH, I find it very hard to believe that we will see 1000% growth from altcoins like we did in the past

Usually when the price for bitcoins reaches the peak, we could see most of the altcoins gaining demand and rising along with bitcoins.

So, you can actually make a purchase of your desired coins once the price for bitcoins start rising but you could not see any price fluctuations onto other altcoins. This might be a sign to invest in altcoins because they too would rise and settle onto peak if bitcoins does so.

Bitcoins are the first coin to experience a pump followed by other few altcoins and the major reason behind this according to me might be that people start selling their altcoins when they see bitcoins rising in order to accumulate maximum bitcoins and this would be the reason why most of the altcoins remain neutral or even get red in the times when bitcoins experience pump.

[ohyeahhaha122]

for me bitcoin is a long term investment so I will keep 50% in bitcoin longer, 50% will also invest in top 10 altcoins which is eth, last year I invested in altcoins in the top 2000 on coinmarketcap and hope is going to go up, but I almost lost all, so I'll just pick the top 10, that's eth a big ecosystem coin and lots of tokens running on the eth platform, I believe the price will go up in the future

[RussiaUkraineTranslation]

90% alts, it's the only way to make it if you didn't buy Bitcoin early. I buy, trade, and mix crypto without kyc on BRAPsearch.com. If I need to do advanced trading I use ecxx.

[Javi_Anibarro]

Currently, it is about 100% but I am planning to add some Bitcoin on my list when I get more capital in the future. I spent all of it into 3 different projects which are TWINS, FIX and CURIO. The first 2 projects are projects that I am involved with, I spent my money on it as a form of my support because I believe everything will be paid off one day after looking at the progress and the product. Those 2 projects will not become another payment system but one of those will create its own DEX and the other one is creating a sim card for digital identity and security. My last altcoin is CURIO, I decided to spend my money on it after they made a featuring with Bloomberg a couple of days ago about Turning Supercars Into Digital Coins.

Your actions save 50% seems like I will try, I have 3 BTC and have sold at the price was $ 9300,
maybe i will buy another 50% when it reaches the support again

[knuckey]

It looks like you have an interesting alt option and some of the alt that you said are already in my portfolio, like XMR, LTC and XTZ. I also plan to add a little allocation to alt and it looks like I'm also interested in considering ATOM, ENJ and KNC.

[Cvetik56]

I mean out of my cryptocurrency portfolio alts take no more than 40%
But whole cryptocurrencies take no more than 20% out of my whole portfolio.
So my alts choice is IOTA and TRX

[wack slacker]

The amount should be divided into 4 parts.  40% for Bitcoin, 10% for altcoins that hosted IEO in 2019, 20% for longtime marketcap cryptocurrencies like LSK, ARK, STRAT, XLM ... and finally 30% for USDT.  That would be a way to ensure my money was used to its full potential.
We may have great expectations for the market but also need a careful preparation before entering the market.

[boltz]

I know there are a lot of people who won't disclosure their portofolio not even with a simple vote because they think that holding altcoins is bad. I mean yea sure, I have altcoins , I always did and I will always buy them because you can't simply hold Bitcoin and see all this trains passing you because you were too stubborn to buy some other cryptocurrencies instead of Bitcoin. We know that holding Bitcoin should be the bigger % of your total supply of coins but why not diversify a little and buy some good altcoins ?
