ETH and BTC deserves the biggest space in our crypto portfolio

[Godwinpaul]

No doubt,  we've witnessed same fate for several projects, especially those that were in the space some years back I recall a project like hydro, iconomi and several others who have become a shadow of themselves. The list for failed projects is endless and the best we can do is hope that the projects that we invest into, stands the test of time.

option to stick around as you stated, maybe not having to be at the same point to keep waiting for surprising things to happen to the tokens you mention while new projects always sweeten every event. why don't you try participating in a new project?
I also agree with @kentrolla above, his analysis is quite good and you can also prepare some of the commodity assets he mentioned such as Eth, sol, bnb, there and others

There are many coins that have brought us profits from 2018 to now, BTC and ETH are always my priority for owning crypto, and it also ensures a certain risk in this market. I have seen many trends and the success of many projects, but in the case of BTC and ETH, it is always something to start with in this market.

BTC and ETH have been around for a long time in the crypto space so people who still believe in the two coins still have a chance to make huge profits this year too because if you ever bought both at the lowest price point during the correction, then right now. I've been able to sell it for a very good profit. So obviously BTC and ETH are two coins that are very often profitable for everyone in the crypto space.

Many times, we only look at the profit without paying attention to the risks encountered. This market has a lot of opportunities, and when the opportunity comes to us, let's cherish it. I have always liked to hold BTC long term and use ETH very often on the network, these seem to be pricey inaccessible to the uninitiated and all see attractive returns from altcoins. Where BTC has completely differentiated itself from the market, and so has ETH, it has taken the lead in solving the problems BTC faces, I personally have a lot of faith in ETH 2.0, which will change the whole point of view. people with it.

I would definitely agree.

As with all investment, you would want to diversify into a market index which is weighted primarily based on market cap.

ETH and BTC aren't going anywhere, and BTC is actually becoming quite underrated in my opinion due to the fact that people seem to neglect the institutional interest that it has received. Some alts are quite undervalued and not worth the risk in my opinion.

Participating in a new project needs extra careful to select the project because we do not know their future. Maybe it is okay if we want to invest in a small amount but to invest more money, that will need more analysis if that project is good or will stop the development. It is better to invest in those coins that have already proven as good coins than invest in new ones. But do not forget to analyze the coin before buying the coins to know when to buy the coins.

The fact that there is no certainties in crypto, so investing comes with risks. Do not limit yourself on looking the project's present potentials, focus more on the development it will create in the future. Thus investing not only for today, but more on for future goals. And based on my experience, there are a lot of coins in the market that look so profitable, but later on their value starts to be worthless as the market demand changes. So better stick with established coins that keep dominating the market, bitcoin and ethereum could be on top of that.

Yes, that is what is called an investment. Most people try to invest but choose the wrong projects because they don't try to look for projects that can grow in the future. We already have a lot of coins in the market and I think that's more than enough for us to invest in. In addition, the risk of investing in a new project will be greater because we do not know how the project will turn out in the future. Because of the uncertainty factor in crypto, we need to anticipate choosing the right coin to invest and in this case, bitcoin will be more suitable to be used as the main investment.

Apparently, these huge numbers of projects that exist in the market make people become lazy to find what is the best projects for investment, they'd rather choose those who would offer great rewards. But unfortunately, mostly it happens they fall into the wrong one. That is going to realize that no other great projects for investment aside from Bitcoin and ETH, some might reconsider but OP was right, we have to focus on the top projects if we seek for a profit assurance.

It looks like selling your crypto for money when they are profitable is more safer than holding them for long, my point is only very few coins are worth holding for many years, if you still doubt about this go on coinmarketcap and look at most coins that came into this world in 2018 many of them have no volume again, the shocking one to me is gowithmi, a project that my elder brother praised so much at the time but today it's volume is not up to 50k, many projects will face same fate, be smart

I know that there are a lot of bitcoin enthusiasts out there and also here in this forum who are saying that very cryptocurrency except bitcoin is basically a shit-coin. I don't really agree with such statements as i think that even new and upcoming projects can be very worthwhile to invest and to hold for a long time. Of course if you invest in such new projects the risk of losing all your money is way way higher in comparison to an investment into BTC so the first promise should always be to only invest money that you can afford to lose and to not invest into meme-coins of course because 99% of them will be dead in a few months.

[Silberman]

Bitcoin and ethereum are a priority for most people especially those who have been in the industry for a long time, and are definitely the preferred choice for filling more of their portfolio to prioritize over other coins.
and just like me because we already know the tracks of both especially in the long run so that the results don't disappoint, it's better to have coins that we usually use including top coins and also promising ones than to try new coins that we don't know the results.

Another good reason to pick bitcoin and ethereum is that while some newbies are looking for 10x profits or even higher, which is a lot more than what bitcoin and ethereum can give, they can give smaller but more consistent profits, and while this may seem to some as a disadvantage, it is not, after all in traditional markets earning something like 10% per year is already hard enough, and bitcoin and ethereum can give you way more profits than that for a similar risk, which means that if you can keep your investment for a long time then you will earn a lot more money than what you can get from traditional markets.

It looks like selling your crypto for money when they are profitable is more safer than holding them for long, my point is only very few coins are worth holding for many years,

For me, the most promising and potentially also give worthy coin for long term holding for several years of course:
1, Bitcoin
Then, followed by Ethereum and also BNB
The three coins really deserve it. And they are in my portfolio. although right now, their prices are all still going down, I am not doubtful if someday they will rise up again to pass their current ATH. I will let them be in my wallet and wait for their rising up again.

But, for other altcoins? Well, this may have bigger risks than oters. Even we are choosing the altcoins that may have string fundamentals, sometimes, they will be left behind with something new and more promising. That is why for other altcoins, I ma not sure enough to hold them for long term investment. I wil better to take profits enough after several percentage, no regret for this.

I know everyone has differnets trategy and just cosndier what best for you.

[Luqman]

Of course, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best cryptocurrency that deserve short-term and also long-term investments. They have strong value and support, including strong trust from the comunity. We also have seen their progress from zero to hero, they can survive from the very dropped bottom in the previous bearish era.

About the other projects?
Hemm, maybe there are several altcoins that also deserve for the long term inevstment, but it is litle bit trciky because having higher risks than BTC and also ETH. Moroeve rof they are new coins with big hype, I will never think save them as long holding.

[lobo13hf]

Long term hodl = winner.
So many times the time has proven that if the long term holders will always become the winner even in the various tokens. Adding more space for ethereum and bitcoin are good but i must remind you that you will get less profit for that. It's caused by ethereum and bitcoin have big capitalization and it can grow even slowed compared with the tokens with small marketcap.
The fact that if bitcoin and ethereum very suitable for the big entities but it's not for the small traders like us.

[Gases]

My asset allocation Bitcoin accounts for 80% of the total assets, I rely on luck for some altcoins, and I will put all real investments in Bitcoin.

That is a good way to maximize your profits with bitcoin and to lessen the risk investing in altcoins. Bitcoin has been hitting the highest market demand so investing in it for long term could only mean huge profits in the end. As well as ethereum, its investment potentials can never be underestimated because it has multi purposes. One can act as money, and as a good store of value. And the fact that it has the most secure blockchain network that makes it more reliable to invest.

[bitkanu]

you are right ETH and BTC are the best if it comes with long term investment considering their trading volume that’s the biggest compared with other but if there is any altcoins that you think really have potential in the long term I think
they are also worth holding because sometimes their ROI could easily surpass all these bigger altcoins with significantly higher market capitalization.
thats also the reason so many people are managing their risk of investment, basically putting the bigger investment in major altcoins and the smaller investment in rather risky investment for boosting their profits.
if you are good at managing your investment you could easily balance it out and get the best profit and also stays low in risk I guess.

If they are lazy to search or do research on those projects, they will not be able to get great rewards but instead, they will get scammed. Yes, by focusing on top projects like bitcoin, ethereum, bnb and others, we have a high probability of profit. But even so, we still have to analyze when to buy those top coins because the price will continue to change. So that is why we really need to give a big portion to bitcoin, ethereum and bnb.

That will always be the case, no time to DYOR, then expect less profits or worst being scammed at all and lose all the penny you have. Investments have all its risks, so if we can't manage to lessen the risk, better yet stay away from investments. However, there are certain projects that are of high risks but the returns is definitely huge. I'm talking of bitcoin and ethereum as they never fail us from earning decent amount of income every time their new ATH is reached. Their top on the market list so there is a big assurance that prioritizing them in our portfolio will make us highly profitable in the long run.

[ItsCrafty]

Yes both Etherium and Bitcoin are king of marketcap. All altcoin are live until  these two has value in market.
Recently PolkaDot is also making big chain and in future it will gain also value like Etherium but it will take time. I  am holding only Etherium for now and will Buy more when market down

yhup sometimes we need to be smart when it comes choosing a crypto project to hold especially for long term, because to be honest not all can guarantee a good return after all and not all coin in the market can last long like bitcoin and ethereum and that's the sad fact.

Because imagine i have different coins in my lost wallet  way back 2017 and they all have good volume and value, and now i noticed most of them are shitcoins..
