Topic: $5k Portfolio (Read 519 times)

ETH, LTC, Neo, ADA, Ark think that these coins should be enough for you. Even with a bad scenario, a couple of coins simply have to shoot and pay off all the expenses.

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.

The most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on ICO stage right now and already on the exchanges, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/future-of-privacy-ethereum-meta-foundation-of-anonymous-e-marketplace-2659058

I would call this year the year of the altcoins. It is not necessary to keep tokens from the top 100 in the portfolio. I prefer coins and tokens which has a small capitalization.

There's a hot token sale coming up

Eth, ltc, neo, ada, xrp for I think this draws my attention and heard about that they are always look for success not just their success but success of all.

As you want to stick in the top 20 mcap coins. Then I'd suggest XRP, LTC, ADA, NEO and XLM. 1000 in each.

Anything Waves can do is being done better by a more popular & accomplished competitor; it was probably the most shilled coin on the Turkish boards throughout 2017, and its proponents are still crying about it to this day... If you still want to invest in Waves, be extremely careful.

Ethereum Meta is a classic example of a shitcoin.
As the OP wants to buy coins in top 15, than why not buy an equal portion of them all and hold them for a long time. But I don't think you should buy anything right now, the market is too volatile.

Portfolio looks good but you should spread your money to toher alts also. There are good ICOs which you can sell some of your coins and invest to promising projects. Keep holding and never sell panicly no matter how markets perform on downtrends.

ADA price can make a good rise. So I think 3 dollars as the target price. But I do not know when this will happen. Waves still can not give the expected energy.

Kind of like the caveat at the end or like it's often said, "this is not a business advice, DYOR". That being said, ETH, LTC, ADA, DASH, BTC, WAVES are for solid coins to have in one's portfolio. Their worth by the end of the year will be phenomenal.

if you want to invest in a coin that has good potential you better choose on the top ladder in the coin market, and I only recommend Ethereum, NEO, and Bitcoin. but for further electives you should do more research on the advice I provide.

Agree absolutely - DYOR is the best advice.

Well that's nice really big money for investments. I suggest you do a lot of search on those altcoins with solid fundamentals or background. Then finds an altcoins and spend a little maybe 10%-20% of your portfolio altcoins with a low market cap and low circulating supply. Goodluck.

I would also buy currencies from the first 5. Like BTC, ETH, XRP

better to buy top 5 most trusted and most famous like BTC, ETH and LTC are all very promising. and this is a good time to buy as the market goes back down

This is quite a good portfolio there

All of these are kinda good project with good development and constant updates
I believe ETH + LTC + Waves = Great combination for diversification

I don't think it is a trust issue...true that people recommend what they hold because they believe in it to begin with (otherwise why purchase/invest on it?). 

Truth is, we all see different things on each coin/token.  Many will get it right but most will be mistaken.  Well meaning folks are eager to help and guide...not knowing/realizing they themselves are also lost.

In the end, DYOR is the best answer so you will not have anyone else to blame but yourself it it fails.

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.

For 5k, I'd spend 25% on ETH, the other 25 on NEBL, get some KNC with the third 25 and spend the remainder on OYL, OCN, XTL, Waves and NAGA

go ALL IN oyster PRL
thank me later

//this is not a financial advice. DYOR


totally agree.
This blind investing has become clearly evident in recent months in the crypto world. On twitter you can always see this very nicely. All the crypto 'gurus' shill their own bags and the crowd follows!
Looks like most people do not even read a white paper.

bitcoin, ethereum ,waves,neo,ada ,capp.
Not all coins from the list of top altcoins, but these coins should bring a good profit.

BTC,ETH,NEO.

NEM is also undervalued at the moment, but has surged back a bit in the last couple of days.

XRP is probably a good one long term, but it's weird as the price doesn't go up in response to good news - and there has been quite a lot of good news recently.

If you want to venture a bit outside the top 20, WaltonChain looks promising.

if you want to find safe, for your investment then i can give suggestion for investment in Ethereum, because the coin always avoid negative news, maybe later in the future could be the best altcoin

Most people will just advise you to buy what they are already hodling. This is really a big issue in the crypto investment space - trust. Do your own research of each potential coinand make your own decisions. I think we will see more index type investments become available in the crypto market this year which should allow you to spread the risk across a range of coins.

Yes neo is good but you can add in your coins is ethereum. Market is in down these days and the best entry to purchase at this rate. Venchain is also good they are updated on their project. So we invest that could offer a nice profit at the end.

Neo, vechain and litecoin are very good prices to make purchasing right now. I think these coins are very good to invest. I have very good ideas especially about neo and ven and they have very big potential. I think the prices will rise

This will suits only for conservative people. Investments In ETH,LTC & WAVES will maximum give him x1.5-x2 profit.
5k$ is too small sum for investing in TOP10 alts, better to buy 10-15 young and perspective coins which can give profit x10+.

Now for investments, coins like monero, dash, stratis, lisk, spectrum and other similar ones are also very pleasant, but they are very focused on the future but have not yet reached their heights. I'm not talking about the top 5 on the market.

2k: NEO
1k: Cardano
500: ZEC
500: ETH
500: PCL (watch out for this, will be the surprise hit for 2018 with their predictive AI)
500: XLM

I would diversify it as follows:
1k - BTC,
1k - ETH,
these two would be the stability fund of this portfolio;
1k - fundamental platform projects, would divide it into several coins: NEO, Stellar, Cardano, EOS, ICON (my personal favorites here are ICX and NEO);
1k - anonymous currencies: Monero, Dash, ZCash;
1k - a bit risky investments which promise big profits in my opinion, though you seriously cut such possibilities limiting portfolio with top 15-20: TRON, Qtum, IOTA and my favorite in this category NANO.

Why not, these threads are fun. Here is my take:

1) Conservative approach: Someone that wants to make big gains but long term, minimizing risk

$4k - Bitcoin
$800 - Monero
$200 - Any other altcoin with potential to pump due hype

2) Reckless approach: Trying to ride the hype wave on some altcoin which is being sold as something big, being this true or not

$1k - Bitcoin
$1k - IOTA
$1k - Hashgraph
$1k - EOS
$1k - Monero (switch to anything more risky if you want)

That's my take. Always have at least $1k on Bitcoin in case you fuck up big time.

Coinseed whose ICO will be starting soon.A very good platform to invest in,an app has already been launched and more to follow.Then You can get some proof suite tokens,Ethereum,Internxt too are good options

if you want to take good stable coins from top -20. You can pay attention on ZEC, DASH, (XEm, ADA, TRX, Stellar- very cheap now) also ETC and XRP.  All this coins are good and can make a good profit in 2018.  Also hold some part of your deposit in btc and Cash for buy cheap positions.

Spread your five grand to one grand each coin and my advice buy some coin with its own blockchain 3 coin like : Neo, Litecoin, exscudo. And two token on top of ethereum blockchain but with real project like : crypterium, aurora token. Or buy when ico like : savedroid, repux and denaro

Do not invest ин too many coins at once because later will be harder control all. The best option will be invest in 2-3 coins. I recommend you choose eth, litecoin and waves

Ethereum is next best coin to bitcoin but recently days competition given by NEO and ADA team smart contract fight. I see ethereum seems low in the market. Please choose the ethereum when you want to invest for long term focus.
If you want to make the money instantly go with Ripple or other cheap coins which are lower than 10 USD or top 10 cheap coins.
This will give the better income with the portfolio you designed.

Very realistic approach and you are right on your views around things changing, if you view the top 10 from last year MaidSafeCoin was one, it's now ranked #96, Augur was another which is now ranked #41

Augur = started 2017 at 0.0039 Sat value, it's now 0.0041, not much of an increase there vs holding just BTC, about 5% more than just holding BTC
MaidSafe = not so good, lost a lot of Sat value over 2017, went from 0.0001 to 0.000035 in sat value, loss of 65% BTC value

To get an idea here is CMC from Jan 03 2017, https://web.archive.org/web/20170103043616/https://coinmarketcap.com/#USD

This logic of "you'll be safe on the top 10" is bs in my eyes.

The altcoins in the top 10 which I think can gain BTC value this year are:
NEO, ADA, EOS, Monero and Eth, the others might but this is where my confidence would be out of the top 10, I don't hold half the ones mentioned though.

Currently, I would have more faith investing in certain coins out of the top 10 for BTC growth like Nano, Komodo, OmiseGo, Neblio and a few others, once again this is just my view.

I could recommend other coins I have faith in with lower caps but this goes against your approach, Neblio is low but it's my #1 coin for the year, still recommend doing your research.

The key is to increase BTC value, a lot of coins will go up in dollar value due to BTC climbing, but unless BTC value goes up you're better just holding BTC, and this is going to be the safest option hands down.

ETH cause it will pump in near future like 2x Times and even could try to chase bitcoin, BTC that is an easy answer, WAVES  cause price of even 100$ is possible, and some of your amount invest in some risky coins/ thrash.

currently i only trade in my local exchanger, now i hold some tokens like tokenomy and for the coins i hold Lumens. will hold for long time maybe because my local exchanger  as the token developer said that this token will listed on other exchange soon

I don't really care for 10x from top coins, even if I got 2-5x return over the next year or so I'd be fine with that.

I feel like even by then, the crypto currency will have moved on to possibly the next generation of coin and we'll see more strong consistent ones rise.

I'd like to hold my coins until the end of the year.

Plus the only other issue that I'm running into, is that I can't find a safe and reliable site to use.

ETH is low risk invest and will make minimum x2 this year

i think you should take some risk and invest only in the most known coins. neo, ada, ethereum are very successful coins of course. but add coins that are somewhat risky and potentially next to it. you can buy ven and ripio

you can divide your money into 5 coins (1k$) each but with that kind of money investing only in top 20 won't get much profit try expand your options in top 100 for higher potential .

Bitcoin, Cardano, Ripple, Ethereum and NEO these are the best portfolio in my choice. I think all five coins are long term promising coins. But many spam news are spread the crypto market so you are scared in  the crypto investment. So if you want but cryptocurrency you analyse the future possibilities of that coin then invest soon and don't consider the fake news.

Besides that, he wants to stay in top 15-20 so no need to invest 1531+ coins. Analysing 20 established coins, that have a good history available, shouldn't be that much trouble for a $5000 investment...

Look towards ether, neo, monero and others that will help you diversify the portfolio and reduce the risk of losses. But I immediately warn my opinion purely subjective.

What are your desired/expected returns from $5k? How long do you plan to hold?

Often you see people expecting 10x from the top coins, if you're fine with 2-3x I would say this is more realistic for top coins.

i agree with fauchetKING
i think asking like this just bullshit. you must do your own research.
then believe with your own decision. it will make us smart to choose a coin

You can listen to someone else's opinion to select from a huge number of projects several have already proved their viability in the market.

A good amount to invest $ 5,000. You can create many different porphyristos. I think you should split it into 3. Invest long term with one part, short term with one part, medium part investment with one part. There are people who do a lot of analysis, research them. Then do your own research and make your decision.

Same as me. I have 5k dollars like you. Also i have 2000 dollars which recieved from airdrops and bounties. I am thinking about long term invest.
My favourite coins are EOS , Neo and everex. Of course 25 percent bitcoin and 25 percent of the ethera is always fixed.

If you're looking for high returns in 2018, buy TRX. TRX will be the better ethereum. TRX is on sale right now. OCN is the next suggestion I have. Incredibly undervalued right now because OCN will be integrated into Obike this month. It's also rumored to be listed on Bittrex and/or Binance soon. OCN will be integrated into Grab next. More partnerships are to come after.

ETH, NEO, etc. are safe investments for gradual growth. For huge returns because of massive adoption, go with OCN and TRX!

Just my opinion.

1) ADA
2) ETH
3) Doggy
4) NEO
5) Universa ( there is a chance to become top 100 crypto)
6) Stellar

Also you can keep money and invest in those currency, which is going to fork and then receive something new for free.

Well you have your option now, so I think you're on a safe place by owning those top coins. If you changed your mind and decided to look for something that can work for you try Utrust and also Insurepal this are two great new coins that succeed on their ICO easily better to have some of this.

BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP are some good long-term investments that will be mooning by the end of this year. You could also check out some low cap altcoins for some quick profit but do your own research for that.

Not because I'm selfish, wouldn't want to be responsible if you lose your money.

Sorry but I disagree.

True that he can research all 1,531 (and rising) coins and tokens but it is much more efficient if he can narrow it down to the suggested coins.  Who has time to research all the coins anyway?

I think u can take Litecoin , NEO , Cardano , Stella lumen , Nano and mb Ethereum Classic  and how much money in what coin to invest decide himself.

Hello Bro, I'm going to give you a great advice, use it and you will become a millionaire!
My advice is to use your brain! Don't ever publish a thread like this, do your own research, take the risk, use your head and trust me, you will lose some time but you will earn a lot!

BTC NEO LTC ETH(buy in a couple of week though, it's expected to dip further. XLM

I would definitely have invested in a STRAT and TKY. Now the prices are very low and you can get profitable. Stratis has its own blockchain - it is a sleeping giant. TKY is a giant in the Chinese market, it has a great future

BTC, ICX, NEO, VEN, ARK, ETH, PIVX, AION, NANO

It is very simple bro just fill your bags with top guns, get btc, eth, ltc, zcash, dash and some new ones after fundamental and technical analysis.

1. ETH
2. LTC
3. Waves
4. ADA
5. Ark
Each at 1000K.
Comeback again here by the end of the year 

What currencies would you buy with, and why? Looking to make a great portfolio, and somewhere to start. LTC got my attention, but the recent news kind of scares me owning so much of it. I'd like to stay towards the more well known Crypto's and no shit coins. I'd like to stay in the top 15-20
