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

[Mianae]

I'm all  in altcoins I have always been ever since I got rekty funds got trapped in altcoins which I have no intention of selling until I get at least half of my investment funds back if that ever happens this year.

[thisnewcoin]

I will diversify my investment in altcoins by 40-50%! I am pretty sure the halving will make a blast in the crypto market and every good coin will perform better, that's why I want to divide my money into several coins. Right now ETH, LINK, XTZ, NEO, FX, NPXS are my best choice for investment.

[Latines]

I read that I am the only one who believes that altcoins will give a greater profit compared to bitcoin. But I noticed that people talk about altcoins from the top, the list of which is always repeated. I invest in altcoins that you do not know. Therefore, I am sure that there will be more growth.

[Harlot]

It's good to see that the majority of the people here even if this is an Altcoin board still allocates the majority of their money to Bitcoin. And the truth is it's good to stay this way since it's too early for them to jump out of the price movement just to redistribute their money to altcoins especially when they are lagging when it comes to Bitcoin's movement. As for having an Altcoin season early in this Q1 of 2020 I don't see it from happening as long as Bitcoin isn't finish on completing any major retest in the next resistance level.

True story, looking at the total breakdown (only 18 votes so far), 55% hold upto 30% Altcoins.
With altcoin dominance at 33%, it seems on average people here are more or less in proportion with the market at the moment.

0% Shitcoins (5.6%)
0-10% Altcoins (27.8%)
0-20% Altcoins (44.5%)
0-30% Altcoins (55.6%)

This year might not be that good for the altcoins according to my study and it minimizes the number of altcoins from my portfolio.

I am actively trading with BTC and ETH and the number of profits bitcoins are giving me are comparatively greater than any altcoin and hence I prefer to invest in bitcoins first and then consider some of the major coins which actually follow bitcoins in any pump or dump which includes ETH, XRP, ADA, etc. These coins are giving me better benefits and hence I do not think that I should take any riskier step to add any other coins in my portfolio. Some altcoins might face the bearish trend which might even make them loose 50% of their original value.

[South Park]

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.

As of right now I am not holding any altcoins, and my reasoning is simple bitcoin has been outperforming them during the last years, only during the most recent weeks we have seen a slight improvement on the performance of altcoins in general, this could be a good signal for altcoins and things may change, but with the halving so close I doubt it, so right now I do not see any point of getting out of bitcoin and getting altcoins in return, but if I see an even better performance from altcoins I may consider it.

[RealMalatesta]

Diversifying your portfolio along with altcoins must be a good idea but keeping altcoins at very low percentage will help anyone to achieve their dreams because there will be no guarantee for any altcoin to be performing like how bitcoin is expected to perform in its upcoming halving. I mean to say it will be always good to keep your altcoins less than 25% in your portfolio.

For example, investors are imagining about ethereum to scale its previous peaks again but I believe it may not happen anytime sooner. Because it is already got it competitors and scaling again $1000 from its current price levels must be a very big task for it but bitcoin will easily set new ATH within this year. So, keep altcoins in low percentage to achieve good ROI.

[OasisDre]

All I have on altcoins are just 20% and the rest are on bitcoin, I think without bitcoin altcoins have no better chance of growing higher on their own, even top altcoins find it hard to grow like bitcoin does so my best bet will still be bitcoin

[Botnake]

I would always trust more on Bitcoin but if indeed the bull run will come, we should be ready by now.
When there is a bull run, we are not only expecting bitcoin to rise, but altcoins as well and with that, I am willing to diversify 50% of my total portfolio for altcoins and expect a good return this year alone.

[isaac_clarke22]

Almost just 10% and that would be for ETH only.
So far it has become only a plan for me to jump into other alts like BNB since I have this kind of anxiety from the past day trading experience to invest in alts.
The rest would be 90% which is BTC of course, for obvious reasons. 

[Winscosinally]

For my own reasons I prefer investing 90% of my funds on bitcoin and just 10percent remaining on altcoins, I can later change my mind but it will be on the moment when bitcoin hit a new ATH and the dominance start decreasing

[dragonvslinux]

Bump. BTC.D makes contact with 50 Week MA.

This market does not follow fundamentals too much, it is true that ETH does not have the demand of icos as it had in the past and now there are many competitors but ETH has been going up tremendously during the last weeks and now it is close to have 9% of the whole market capitalization of this market, and it does not seem like it is going to stop, so if you have not done so already this could be a good opportunity to buy ethereum since most likely it will easily reach 400 dollars during this year.

[Bitbtc8]

I decide to buy and hold only ETH among the huge numbers of altcoins, I already have BCH since 2018 and I'm glad I got it for low price, 90% of my fund was put into bitcoin and the remaining 10% on Ethereum, Proof of Stake is not in action yet and its already surging

[kindbtc]

I think holding low cap coins and tokens is not bad but you have to be patient because usually these alts are the last to move, personally i like to stay more and more in btc and eth only, recently i got some ada as well becuase i liked the project and prices were very attractive as well and i think it will continue its upward trend from here on, similarly i have like 10 to 20 percent of other alts and tokens which i consider risky holdings but in good bull run they can provide me with massive profits as well so they are worth holding as well.

[leowonderful]

I hold the majority of my crypto funds in Bitcoin, and I keep around 25-30% of the rest in Altcoins, though I would not say there's a fixed percentage of my portfolio consisting of alts because I manage it very often and the number can go down or up at any moment depending on my personal analysis. Of the alts that I own, none of them are what you might call lower-cap coins, and a few of them would be ETH, LTC and XMR. I've maintained largely the same basic portfolio setup since 2016, but it's been producing great returns for me consistently since then, so I see no reason why I should change it now.

[Flux0z]

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.

That's a decision you'll probably regret once the altcoin market explodes again. Bitcoin is the safest investment, no doubt - But it will NOT get you the highest ROI. Lately we've see a ton of altcoins explode in price, I made a nice 3x on my Blocknet, doubled up on ARK, and DASH doubled as well recently while BTC has been up and down.

Don't get me wrong, I hold BTC, but it's NOT the majority of my portfolio, why?

I'll tell you why. The BTC dominance moves in cycles, always been like that if you go through time. A low BTC dominance, means you need to get into BTC, and a high BTC dominance means you need to diversify. It's really that simple, and makes sense when you think about it.

BTC is a slow dinosaur, used as a speculative asset, sure it's got the most adoption of all projects out there, but it's really limited in terms of tech, and use cases.

Blocknet, which I'm a big fan of is a project I'm accumulating like a mad man right now, because it's such an undervalued project. DEX projects is popping up everywhere, and for good reason, everyone wants decentralization, and Blocknet offers EXACTLY that. Not only do they work on their DEX, but they also work on a decentralized oracle network, read more here: https://blocknet.co/xrouter-missing-link-between-all-blockchains/

A few partnerships, and it could easily fly into the top 50 on Coinmarketcap. We're talking a 50x in price movement here, something not happening with BTC anytime soon, even if being super optimistic. 

[JeotQ]

Altcoins will bring better ROI for sure but they are risk investments when comparing to bit coin which offers more safer bet over altcoins, if you are willing to take risks its a good time to start accumulating top altcoins now

I think at this time everyone would want to make a risk on some good altcoin, because the market conditions are in good condition, so it is potentially able to benefit up to double the capital we invest.
