Is it better to have 5, 12 or even more coins?

[Loco1887]

Lets say you had to spend 12.000 USD,

would you go for option 1 or option 2?

option 1: 2.400 USD each coin = 12.000 USD total

Ethereum
Avalanche (AVAX)
Polygon (MATIC)
Chiliz (CHZ)
Enjin (ENJ)


option 2: 1.000 USD each coin = 12.000 USD total

Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Avalanche (AVAX)
Shiba Inu (SHIBA)
Polygon (MATIC)
Cosmos (ATOM)
Decentraland (MANA)
The Sandbox (SAND)
Gala (GALA)
Chiliz (CHZ)

It's up to you either you choose option one which is 2.4k per coin or option 2 which is 1k per coin. Well, having more than one crypto that you wanted to hold is better than having one or two crypto that you will hold. Why?, If you hold one or two crypto then you don't have much chance to earn profit if ever one of the crypto you have increased unexpectedly while having more than 5 pr above is you have more chance to gain profit but the risk will be increase since you have more coin that you hold.

$12k is already quite nice amount to invest, so in my opinion, the option with more coins is better.
It all depends on whether you buy coins that are stable and with a long history in the market or you want to invest in high-risk startups.
In both examples, you listed coins that are rather stable in the market, so in both cases the risk is low, but by choosing the option with more coins, you increase your chances of hitting the gem that price will shoot the most.

I'll go for option 2 the more the better and as long as these coins are worth putting your money into and based on your list they are worth investing $12k is already a big amount I could prefer to make it 20 coins, with that amount I will make a room for new coins with good potential, the most important when investing is diversity, do not put all your eggs in on basket, I don't see BNB or other old coins like Tron in your portfolio if I have that amount I will include it.

If I may add, if the OP can keep up with each of them, then, why not? But if not, because it is too much work, better limit your alts. Because if you can't keep up and suddenly one of the coins gone bad in terms of development, you will lose without a fight. So long you are following thru what's going on with your portfolio, that's more than okay to have more.

[lombok]

I will choose the option 1, 5 coins is quite a lot in my opinion, to follow developments and information for the 5 coins maybe we will have a little trouble. But for the list, I myself will invest in big and old projects, which have been mass-adopted (BTC, BNB, ETH, ETC, LTC).

[babygun]

My vote goes to list 2. It is important to spread and have multiple coins in your basket in the case 1 will fail. I have a total of around 15 (but not equally divided; overweight in BTC and ETH). Also from your list 2, I wouldn't invest 1000$ in SHIB, a bit too risky for me so I would maybe invest 500$ at maximum.

[rahmad2nd]

Depending with individual trader, firstly I think is worth when separated or have 5 until 12 coins as our portfolio but now keep choosing with 1 or 2 coins only in my assets holding, I think I have reason with controlling 1 or 2 coins I know about price of my coin holding in daily day. Maybe out my controlling when getting 5 until 12 coins as my assets holding. I don't know how to check price every day by holding many coin. Now keep choose and hold 1 until 2 coins in my wallet because easy I know about dip price until how much higher price and make easy when have to entry or selling my coin.

5 or whatever it actually comes back to each person because they know what their capacity is,
to ideally be able to follow the development of between 5 to 10 coins,
I think by investing in the top 5 coins you mentioned, we don't need to hesitate because it's promising

[Kemarit]

I prefer to diversify but only to at least just 5 coins. Others might argue that more is better in crypto, but I will stick to the principle that less could be good because it will not make complicate things on your end. And it's easy to maintain your portfolio which such solid coins only, as you are not going to see pump and dump and the projects seems to be heading in a good direction people the behind people (devs and others), are working very hard. However, it's really up to individual preferences, maybe others wanted more in their portfolio and can take care of it.

[aprilnot]

I will choose the first. because too many coins in the portfolio is also not good. but with another coin list. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bnb, Avalanche and Terra. with 12000 funds i will buy those coins. The reason is very simple, because the coins I mentioned earlier are the ones with the best potential. bitcoin is the center of crypto. ethereum with the 2.0 update, bnb with all the innovations they continue to come up with, a new network avalanche that still has the potential to Moon and terra, I predict that this coin will be like last year's solana.

[GeorgeJohn]

In this you don't have to chosen option 1 or option 2, in investment platform what you have to do is to research for potential coins that fits for investment by conducting a research and via the percentage or the amount of USDT that's obtainable for per take of investment in altcoins section, as investor you don't have put ten in  ($10) each, in any coin you like,  "no" my concern in coins is knowing their potentials and volatile is the coin will reflect in future, before putting large funds, so in summary you have to accumulate fund's for investment.

[cabron]

Option 1 would be a better choice. We couldn't bring the time, 2-3 years ago when their prices were very affordable for someone with just $1000. that you could also have more than 5000 tokens. But you could always find the right time to buy and wait. It's still going to be exponential growth when you wait for another 2-3 years but the drop in the price will also be exponential when investors see a downtrend looming to a bear market.

They are altcoins so you better sell when the bear market comes because eventually another new altcoin will come out with better protocols and they could be much cheaper as well. The goal is to make money not hold a token project that will be obsolete after years.

[yazher]

It's Ok to have 5 coins but to secure your profit in the next years to come since this is for long term holding, I prefer to have 12 coins maximum and you might want to add later when there is a new legit project emerging in the future which is more likely to appear. But getting 12 or more coins does not really guarantee you a sure profit, it depends on the coins you invested and the developers behind them which is an important factor for a long-time holder because they determine the life of the coins with their constant development and updates.

[Dr.Osh]

personally I would prefer to hold not too many types of coins. I think this is more optimal than holding too many coins. other than that, i would probably choose 5 coins over 12 coins. it's just that I changed the portfolio to
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Binance
Avalanche (AVAX)
Polygons (MATIC)
I think it's a potential coin, and it's great to just focus on that coin. however, holding too many coins will make it difficult to manage it.

[shinratensei_]

how many coins do you guys have? more than 10 or less?

You go with option 1 instead 2 and why? in option 1 you do know that if you are investing in legit projects with a big market cap. The scenario is that the more money you put in and the more money you get from there.
Putting small amounts of money like option 2 in so many coins will be only wasting your time. The right thing is when you are choosing the low cap coins and you can use option 2 as a method to invest or diversify your portfolios. It's caused by the potential to go high will always there and it's still has a lot of room for growth.

My portfolios are also using so many tokens but i do know that if i didn't need to put a lot of money as these are potential tokens.

Generally i see some investors i know, they put their $ in crypto investment world up to 10-20 coins they choose, they don't want to put eggs in one container.

All the coins you mentioned above are good and have good chances in the future, that's a good idea for you.

[lombok]

True, all decisions are in the hands of each.
 
At least if with 5 coins we can guarantee investment and the coins we have grow in value safely. At least with the 5 list of coins that I gave earlier, we feel safe when holding. If we have too many choices then the possibility of us having a coin scam is also high.

[kojektea]

Everything you mention has almost the same potential, although I believe the biggest potential is ethereum, but I think option two is better with more opportunities, the twelve coins you invest in each of your money will create more chances to cover losses and also getting a little bit of profit some of them like ethereum and Shiba Inu I'm sure is a very good priority.

[gantez]

To me speaking on the number of coins in the wallet is not the issue but the quality that they have. I realize that some coins after dropping during bear won't get back to the high during the recovery, so what is the point to have plenty of them when they don't give returns. I believe etheruem is the best of them all in your list
