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

[FireBallex]

Its a good time to take risks on altcoins, the market is very bullish and this can bring good result in coming month from now till 2021 so the sky is the limit here, I still prefer top altcoins over many new altcoins though few new altcoins are good, DYOR

To everyone who thinks altcoins have better ROI than Bitcoin, just remember, this is all possibility and none of it sustainable. Remember that Bitcoin fell at the lowest 15% of the ATH (3k from 20k). But altcoins I do not know a single one that even I owned that stayed above 15%,,, as much as I loved them all. So be wary is all I am saying.

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.

Lower volume coins are easy to be manipulated and that is the main reason why I keep myself away from such lower cap coins. You might make profits from such coins if you are instant but mostly, you can see these coins drowning overnight which would not even give you a chance to sell those coins. That's why I prefer holding some of the top coins which have maximum volume.

Holding bitcoins is what usually every crypto enthusiast do because we all know the potential of bitcoins, but you should hold minimum amount of bitcoins if you have no intentions to trade with it regularly.

Bitcoins are already much costlier which would need to make a huge move in order to give us some profits but as compared to some lower price altcoins like XRP, etc these can give us good profits even if they move by few cents so diversifying majority of our capital into such coins can be beneficial for midterm profits. Bitcoins are always a great choice for long term profits.

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.

You should never change your portfolio but you should try to add on some more beneficial coins. You are investing into cryptos since 2016 and from that time a number of potential coins have hit the markets which have also gained huge prices. You should have added those coins to your portfolio. Maybe you could devote 5 to 10% of your total capital into such coins and rest as your have already planned.

It is good to see that most of the people prefer holding majority of bitcoins in their portfolio. This is something which would be beneficial for the price of bitcoins as the majority of holders, the more demand it would get which would lead for a better price in the nearly approaching future.

We can bet on altcoins at this point, but it's best not to bet on shitcoin because it will inevitably collapse as Bitcoin grows. It is better to invest in leading altcoins in this market because it will bring more security than other shitcoin.

[Vishnu.Reang]

I sold most of my alts back in 2018, so my portfolio doesn't have a large variety of different coins. However, during the past few days many of my remaining coins have gone up by up to 300%. For example, EBTC has gone up by 900% during the last two weeks. Deep Onion is another coin which has gone up during the last few weeks. It has gone up by 100% so far this week.

The essence of diversification is to reduce risks and maximize profits by investing in assets of various kinds. A similar mechanism works well in the stock market;
however, the cryptocurrency market is somewhat different from the stock market and, as we can see, the secondary market for alternative coins is not independent.

In other words, depending on the price of bitcoin, we see one or another dynamic position of alternative coins, that is, there is almost no difference between alternative coins in the framework of diversification. Therefore, you will get the best result if you invest in alternative coins no more than 20 - 30% of your capital is desirable in one thing.

I voted 20 to 30% because I have a strong belief that Bitcoin will make a huge profit for it's holders, that is why I voted 20 to 30% but this 30% consists of all the best coin in the market there are coins that are not in the top 10 but I have made a research that they are likely to make profit for me.

[sockpuppet1911]

27 votes in and honestly i would have believed that people are mostly in altcoins, especially under altcoin discussion. Even when if it wouldn't be a wise choice right now,

[masterrex]

I voted for 75 percent altcoins since that was I'm doing now. I'm currently holding nine kinds of altcoins and Bitcoin but I have many more altcoins that I earn from the bounty campaigns that I was promoted but I think it's almost useless since most of it is not yet listed to any exchange so there's no liquidity at all. the total breakdown of my holdings is 75 percent of total altcoins base on value and 25 percent Bitcoin base on value. I was bought my altcoins during the early quarter of 2019.

[timmmers]

Cool that people are now talking about altcoins and asking which altcoin is the best. Few months later noone was interested in buying more when altmarket crashed to the lowest levels, but now when they are pumping people are doing same mistake - buy the high, sell the low 😀.

[Meowth05]

Personally, I do have investment on altcoins but not as big as what I have invest on Bitcoin. For me I have seen more potential profit in Bitcoin compared in oder crypto, though there are some alts who can gives more profit however, it would be risky knowing that you cannot anticipate what coins would be successful. Therefore, I only place small amount of percentage in Altcoins and the rest will be placed on top cryptocurrency which is Bitcoin.

Given the market is 63.8% in Bitcoin right now, I think it makes sense that Bitcointalk user are also 50%+ in Bitcoin.
The real question is whether this will change or not.

[rosezionjohn]

I can't even remember the last time I bought an altcoin. I don't want to check right now because I know that it's still in deep waters 
I don't plan on adding more to what I already have. Everything is still riding on bitcoin's back so I don't see any sense in buying other cryptos at the moment. I'm seeing plenty of good looking altcoins with cheap prices and some of them are about to make a move according to some TA's but all analysis on these altcoins will go straight to the garbage every time bitcoin's price goes down.

[coinfinger]

Very good, mine is getting to 30% but I don’t think it’s ever going to get passed that level. And I’m always very careful with the coins I choose. I don’t make use of coins that seem like they are not worth it.When I am choosing coins to invest my choice is always on the top ten to twenty list, and I hardly go for anything below that.

Though there are some coins I would see and when later on they will move from a lower position to the top list. Just like ChainLink, when I started investing in it, it wasn’t much of a trending but was quite moving and then I picked interest and bought it and along the line it started moving up real quick and now it’s at the top ten list.

[Samayuki]

I don't care much about altcoins anymore, they've done me no good since years ago after 2017 bullrun, for now I concentrate on Bitcoin only, altcoins brings huge growth but they aren't reliable like bitcoin

[Balladtony77]

Now I've sold all my altcoins for Bitcoin, I've come to understand that without Bitcoin altcoins are nothing when it comes to return of investment and also Bitcoin render more trust than altcoins

[rdluffy]

I already voted, and saw that most people are with the same range as me
BTC - 70% of my portfolio and the rest, 30% are altcoins, but only top altcoins like ETH, XMR and LTC

I don´t hold any obscure altcoin since I lost some money and it's very hard to keep updated about every coin you own

[helloinox]

I hold 70% of BTC and ETH while 30% of the leftover are altcoins. Yep, ETH to me is not in the altcoins category. 30% of altcoins usually have a shitload of trash coin in it but I long time hodl of ChainLink and Wave.

You invested on the number 1 and number 2 coin in the market, that's a good strategy as these two coins are strong coins which has a great potential in the future. Putting 30% of high risk altcoins is a good strategy too as there are a lot of almost worthless altcoins in the past that has pump during the altcoins season, and we might experience it again, if not this year then maybe in the following years but I'm sure it will come.
