Investment: $15.000 - 12 vs 15 coins

[Captain Corporate]

Aside from the coin choices like everyone said, there is nothing wrong with going 15. I mean it would be wiser to distribute it to proper coins that would do well, instead of stuff like shiba or ape or whatever, but at the end of the day its our own money and whatever you want to buy with it, you should do that. If you lose money with these, then you will see how and why you lost it, and that way you could do much better. I personally believe that it would be wiser to put your money into top 15 and remove the memes and stables out of it, which would mean 15 coins in the top 20-25 when you remove those, and thats a good start. However, thats just what I think, and its your own money, you will be the one who gives the final decision.

Imagine someone offers you to choose between 2 wallets, each worth 15k. Which one would you choose?
$1.250 Polygon (MATIC)
$1.250 ApeCoin (APE)

If someone asked me to choose two wallets out of many that have a value of $15k, of course I would choose ApeCoin and Polygon. I see great potential still lurking in these two coins. I think last year's bullrun isn't over for these two coins yet.

[Lagduf]

both are good but i’d choose the 2nd option just in case if the market turning really bad at least the major altcoins could somehow saves your ass.
the first ones honestly also seems attractive because it could gives you better return of investment if you find bullish trend in the upcoming months and maybe year and you still could hold it for the long term.
but for the safety of investment and risk management dividing investment in various baskets is always the more recommended way so i’d be settling the 2nd option
otherwise if you think 15k is just some measly amount and you have higher tolerance of risk in terms investing then first option could do well it’s all based from your own needs honestly.

[rahmad2nd]

Make me stress with your option have to invest on many coins and I think with your fund $15,000 I will all in on one or two altcoin and keep easy when tracking dip or higher price. Take busy and need many hours analyze until 15 coins for trading or investing although have several list are potential altcoin but I like with put money on one bracket. But have good decision when analyze which one potential coin for investing and I think $15,000 is worth invest on ethereum coin than you have check until 15 coins.

[Psynthax]

Can you even make it become even smaller? like just try to invest in less than 12 tokens? i know that you wanna diversify your portfolios into the various tokens but i just remind you that when you are also seeing it if it's not so good for your portfolios. Too many tokens in your portfolios will make it not focus in term looking for the capital gain. The price movement will be so difficult to happen. I think that it will be far better if you are putting like less than 10 choices in your portfolios. This will give more portion to the any potential token. You must also eliminate the major coin as well. Im sure that you will get nothing from there

Imagine someone offers you to choose between 2 wallets, each worth 15k. Which one would you choose?

option 1: 12 coins worth $15.000
[shitcoins]

option 2: 15 coins worth $15.000

$1.000 Ethereum (ETH)
[shitcoins]

What time frame? 1 month, 1 year, 10 years?

Out of those 2 wallets I would definitely chose wallet 2 because there is at least 1000$ in valuable project (ETH) that I know will survive bear market that we are in (most likely). So in long way wallet 1 will lose 99% in value in next few years, while wallet 2 will lose 95%.

Investing in shiba inu? XD man its not 2020-2021. Meme coins train is already gone. This joke is not funny anymore.
SOL, AVAX, ATOM - do you think they will survive after ETV v2 launch? All faster and cheaper ETH alternatives are good only because Eth is expensice ... for now.
SAND and MANA - they are evaluated so high compared to user base they have. Whole metaverse is too much hyped right now. Of course its a big thing. Of course whole industry will grow 1000x ... but not in 2022, not in 2025. Until then most of most hyped projects that we see now will die. Metaverse will be a big thing after Neuralink success. Maybe in 2030. And I doubt that someone who will deliver brain implants (neuralink or its successor) will not create a metaverse game for it and let other projects eat cake.

Where is BTC and BNB, why are they not listed you? I admit that Ethereum is an incoming investment and has potential value for the long term.

But for me this is too many coins, I don't really like portfolios with lots of coins that I don't know which means I don't keep up with the developments except for the current top 3 coins then it's already in my bag.

I think $15,000 is a big amount 50% is suitable for Bitcoin and 20$ for Ethereum so the rest is according to coins which we can follow all developments.

50% bitcoin, 20%BNB, 20% ETH, 10% microcaps (below top 500 cmc) to have exposure to positive black swans.

I could possibly reduce it to 5:

Polygon (MATIC)
ApeCoin (APE)
Moonbeam (GLMR)
Acala Token (ACA)
Astar (ASTR)

Very aggressive approach tho

Its not about number of coins. Its about the fact that there are 18 000 projects. Most of them will fail. Like 99.99%. Out of those 18 000 projects 17995 are shitcoins made to grab as much money as it is possible and run away. There is no way to pick a good coin that will succeed in long run (especially now after 100x gains in 2021) . Why?

in 2017 the most popular (one and only) DEX was etherdelta. No one is using it now because liquidity pools were invented and uniswap presented 100x better product. What gives you the certainty that no one will deliver 10x better product than polygon have now? Or all of above shitcoins? You know what really matters? Money and user base. Thats all. All innovation, faster chain, cheaper chain, more secured chain, better code is only a open source code without user base. BNB can copy paste it and present it to their user base (tens of millions of users) and spend bilions of $$ to announce "their" innovative update to everyone. And use coinmarketcap to announce it even further (Binance own coinmarketcap). than present it to 15M followers that binance have on twitter (together with Cz account). What will your shitcoin do in this situation with 500 user base? Nothing. So ETH, BNB and Bitcoin is the only choice that is not a gamble.

It looks good but you can consider to add more and try to take 7 or 8 portfolios as the maximum amounts that can be listed in your list. If you are spreading your money in so many token or coin and it will be very harder to control your assets. Remember how crypto investment. The more capital and the more gain but when you are putting less and you will also get less. 5 look so good but you can increase it to the 7 kinds of coins from the market.
In my opinion investing in the major coin are the way to waste your time. You can't get big reward from there. So the portfolios above look good.

For MATIC, there is no doubt that the next BNB or The Next Ethereum, the more Devs. which diverted to the Polygon network which was proven to be faster and cheaper, I was sure that in 2022 the price of matic could reach 2 digits or at least reaching $ 30.

Matic is a great asset, some development projects did turn to the adoption of the Polygon blockchain. but I think BEP-20 is still the focus for this year. but including it in the list of assets we invest in is not bad.

I saw the current market conditions, I tried to buy SAND and GALA. I'm just trying my luck on these two assets. just to try in the short term. or the long term possibility these two assets could just make a big pump.

[bounceback]

Of course I will choose the second option because in the second option there are several coins that have strong fundamentals and are also very popular in the market such as Eth, Sol, Avax and Matic by holding these coins will certainly open up opportunities for us to get bigger profits in the future , especially the four coins they don't just rely on the hype, but they grow with the development of the ecosystem so it is very possible that the price will be higher in the long term.

[adzino]

None of the two. Too many meme coins or coins with nothing better to offer. None of list has bitcoin on them. The first one is even worse compared to the second one. The second one at least has Ethereum, Solana and few other well known top coins.
It's good to spread your investment, but put most of it in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Safer and in the long run will give you some good profit. The rest of the coins has higher risk and might fail in the future.

[Loco1887]

Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Avalanche (AVAX)
Polygon (MATIC)
ApeCoin (APE)
Moonbeam (GLMR)
Acala Token (ACA)
Astar (ASTR)

Is this a good mix of stability and chances or are 8 coins too much again?

[batang_bitcoin]

Well, I don't have to expand that amount to that many of altcoins. I could have invest that in bitcoin and ethereum alone or just bitcoin. It's not necessary to be that much diversified IMO. Okay to diversify but I think 10+ coins is already a lot to play on your money with them.
Too much of it I think won't work for me. Still, I'd go with the king and eth.

meanwhile in altcoin we have opportunity to get return more than 2x only in short time which is we could find in bitcoin or ethereum. altcoin project have potency while they developt good product and crypto community accept it , for example blockchain projects with less transaction fee and high tps or maybe in play to earn project. but overall i am agree maybe around 5-6 enough for us.

I have made profits with altcoins too but I'm just chilling holding bitcoin and ethereum and not to worry when to sell with it. I just sell whenever I want and I don't want to be pressured by the market checking out those alts that I've just bought.
I want to have it slowly but surely and I get satisfied if ever I sell at anytime that I wish or when it's necessary and needed based on the situation that I'm dealing with.

Why there is no Bitcoin on those two portfolios it's a bad portfolio not having Bitcoin on it, Bitcoin should have a big share of every portfolio its not really a question of 12 or 15 coins but if you can keep up with that number of coins you can have only 5 coins but getting more profits than having 12 or 15 coins.

How much you expect to gain from bitcoin with only 1k - 2k investment? do you think bitcoin will be doubled instantly? I think that you didn't even calculate this and you forgot if it's not all of people have bunch of money to invest in all of coins. Bitcoin's potential is not so good for the small investors. If bitcoin will be increasing only 1 - 10 % and you will get a very small return for your investment. This is rarely happening as well until the big pump will come soon but you can expect to get more return from the altcoins.
That's why creator of this thread is not even thinking to invest in the bitcoin as he wants to get more profit from the market.

[masterrex]

IMO, I think thats a very low amount for that large number of coins, and for me, 3 coins are enough already that's why I think I will remove those other coins. and instead, I will choose Matic, Solana, and Ethereum. I believe these coins are more promising compared to other coins who are listed in the two portfolios so it has more chances to give us a better profit if we choose better coins.

?

That looks good for me. Some major coins used as safe investment for long term and use the rest to bet into the small cap tokens. It's more balancing rather than put mostly of your money into the big cap coins. You can expect a huge gain from the small cap coins in your portfolios and try to use safe investment like major coins as a way to get small return for your investment but this is more stable rather than low cap tokens caused by the support and volume are very strong.
That's a good mix. Will you use that list above?

[speedy963]

I did not vote since I do not support the idea of holding too much of coins or assets in a portfolio. Specially when considering that the one posting has a newbie account which can be a reflection of how new op is to this industry. TBH, most veterans out there have less than 10 altcoins in their main portfolios that gobble up the majority of their capital(heck I even think that 10 is too much) and another portfolio that has too little allocation for shitcoins(which mostly are for entertainment or gambling purposes only). Just think about it op, with every single asset you hold, you have to keep track of the progress of the developers in relation to their roadmap, news, the community, new partners and so much more. Imagine doing that with 12-15 coins. Unless you don't have other things to allocate your time to, this is way too difficult for a normal person. My advice is to keep it simple and have a lot of extra for DCA when price plunges or some good opportunities arise.
