Topic: Betting 80% of my portfolio on ARK (Read 3575 times)

It may be a good investment but putting 80% of portfolio into 1 project is not my type of strategy. I'll buy some though straight out of curiosity.

i advice you not to compare betting and investing. crypto market is not a betting platform. you should make your choice seriously and you shouldnt trust your luck. and 1 more thing, i wouldnt use 80% of my portfolio to 1 single altcoin. it is risky.

Do not invest too much in them, I think you should allocate your capital, so it will reduce your risk, do not put eggs in the same basket.

%50 on ark, lost >%50 of my USD value already.

Will we ever get the chance to reach the past ath?

%40 in on ARK, expecting big gains on Summer 2K18

You made a pretty good choice. It made x5 since August 10 in USD and x1.5 in BTC. This project now looks very attractive and it can become a competitor for many popular coins. I'm sure that the price of this coin will grow. But it's obvious that keeping all the money in only two coins is very risky.

To be fair ALL coins and tokens fell badly.  Wait for the rebound...

Besides, even at this slump he is 575% ahead.

i think you get really good profit form these. ark became really very high prices.

but after january it fall really badly.

I do not think it is wise to put such large chunk of investment into one altcoin, best way is to diversify, as a famous investing quotation tells us 'Never put all your eggs in one basket'.

Big fan of ARK, really interesting bridging tech. for as long as BTC is gold then this coin offers genuine usability  Not yet purchased....I am kicking myself I didn't but earlier as been watching this for a while now. Unfortunately have funds invested in other projects I believe in.

Just checking on a fellow ARK believer...did you HODL?

I wish I bought at those prices...I am envious.  My average purchase is $2.94 (x5 of yours).

You are on the right path if you betting 80% on ark. All what i know. Ark has a really good project and untill now it project is still on the right development. And also i think the price is still keep at that high. When bitcoin up againys dollar it will up more.

It seems to me an excessive investment in a currency that I would not expect too much, however it is the way in which people are currently willing to play in this speculative market. I do not know if this type of risky decisions will ruin many investors, but I hope that throughout 2018 it will still generate enough profitability before big capital destroys this market.

It sure is a solid project...surprisingly slow to bloom though but I am HODLing.  I don't have nearly as much coins as the OP but I have a healthy amount.  It used to be the highest portion of my portfolio but the recent pump on other holdings pushed it to 3rd place.

Very excited for the day when it is given the value it really deserve.

It's registered as the first legal crypto in france, has a strong dev team, best wallet in the game (shows they stick to quality), mobile app now.   This coins just gets more and more exciting to me AND you can get dividends regularly for just voting.

I think the project with ARK but 80% is a little bit risky. It'd be better to distribute the income.

I think it is always dangerous to speculate such a huge amount on only one coin. But it might pay off good, it is sitting in a solid top 50 place

It is impossible to say with certainty that the coin will grow in price, yet we understand that it will develop and prospects, thanks to the efforts of the team, of course there is. You can try to buy ARK coins into a long-term asset and after half a year gain growth.

ARK will be at the North American bitovoy conference in Miami in January 2018. The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including blockbuster technology, Bitcoin and Ethereum, ICOs, the mechanics of selling tokens, investing, regulating, launching, stalling and much more. Blockchain industrial loudspeakers will be presented at a two-day conference in the main theater on 20-minute slots.

i like these random pumps from nowhere

nice timing
i'm waiting for a dip so i can get a piece of the cake

Exactly looks good from TA viewpoint. Might hit new ATH when the Chines trading kicks in at the night!

It looks like ARK is about to pump again I might buy some now.

Maybe, hard to tell...
Funny how this thread started with doubters of my choice..
And now people agree with me on ARK... Hahaha 😂 Funny.

if you look at the volume it's still rising, so could see another leg up maybe to 3 or 4 

I just wanted to increase my amount of ARK. Picked the wrong time.
No worries, I don't think ARK will go higher than $2, it's already down to $1.5. I think this was an artificial pump. There were no announcements, nothing exciting, just a sudden pump.

yeah that's why 99% of time it's better to hold and don't move anything if you don't need the money back

I thought I was smart selling my 759 ARK at $1.1 yesterday, thinking it would go back to around $0.8/$0.9 so I can buy even more, but then it goes to $2 with no warning whatsoever
Talk about volatile market. I'm a bit bitter because the pump happened out of nowhere, but still I bought those 759 ARK at $0.6 so I made almost double my money.

I also noticed that ARK is doing really good. If you bought yours at $4 cents then you must be holding some great profit right now. That is more than 50%. Right now ARK is already playing the figures more than 1 dollar each. I might monitor this coin closer.

definitely the next stratis or neo , ark with ledger , ACES , and smartbridge launch

Thanks for bringing this up. I also missed the NEO train and been looking for some solid project to invest. ARK looks very promising and the price action is healthy. I'll keep an eye on it!

Aaaaaand..... ARK is up by 45% today..

Feeling good.. But this is nothing.. 

With 80% on a single crypto-currency, you are taking some risks. But I guess you know what you are doing. I have been watching silently ARK for a moment, and one can not deny the price movements are interesting.

Haha, Relax guys!! 

Overall, what I have in crypto right now is peanuts compared to my financial situation. 30% of my money is in crypto, and that is when I
EXCLUDE my house from my portfolio.

Relax guys, I'll be fine The reason I chose Ark is because of it's HUGE upside potential. I don't care if I double or triple my money. I already did that with stocks, and it's boring.
I like the weekly "dividents" as well. Working my way up to receive 100 per month. I know there are other coins with a similar concept, however as soon as I saw the website, the roadmap, and let's not forget their WALLET, which is the nicest wallet I have ever seen in crypto, in combination with the growing community, constant updates, and I could go on and on...

This is somewhat of a "gamble", but I honestly don't give a shit. If you let your emotions control you in regards to the ups and downs, you won't be as successfull as many others.

Ark is still "young", and I see a BRIGHT future for this project already. Time will tell, but please guys, don't even worry about my financial situation... I'll be completely fine, even IF I lost it all

Cheers!

good luck op, putting 80% into it is a bit extreme for my tastes as well but i like and hold ark too and hope you're right

Agreed with the other comments, I would increase your coin diversity, add in a few similar coins, and if one of them becomes the next market leader, your fine as it will cover off any losses on the others. if they all do well, your quids in, but the chance of all crashing is much less than the chance of a single coin crashing and loosing you 80%

Congratulations on your gains, but sitting on 80% alts after doubling your money is a bad decision, in my opinion. People tend to say that Bitcoin itself is a risky investment, I imagine that this alt could put you in a much more risky position.

If you dont understand why others do it, there is only one reason and that is the possible gain of big profits. Even if uncertain, they bet large percent of their bankroll in one coin, which is not good. You are right about investing less than 10% of your portfolio, it is too risky to invest a higher percent in ark. I would rather invest more on waves rather than investing more than 10% of my portfolio on ark.

What I don't like about ARK is the threat of competition. A major platform (or soon to be) like ETH, NEO, BitShares, Waves can and surely will easily implement "smart bridges". It only makes sense. I would like to hold some none the less. Am I missing the bigger picture?

Yes in dont understand why people keep investing such that amount of money in only one coin or one product, why dont they diversify?
ark doesnt look atractive, but i will take a look, i am not gonna invest more than 10% of my portfolio lol.

What about losing part of game? Noone should risk 80% of portfolio just for he/she thinking prices will go up for near future? Huh? Sometimes you forget rules of smart trading blindly. But this guy is planning to gamble with portfolio..

Agree... there are a lot of coins that offers better features than this coin, this is a coin that is sleeping and so much time has passed and it couldnt atract big investors, that is why it has no future, i would not invest into this coin, and 80% of your portfolio are you serious? hope your portfolio is not a huge amount of money because you will lose to much when it dumps.

ARK is a good project with potential. Holding a few hundreds for long-term gains.

for more profits

Doing the same thing as the TS, love this project. 

DPoS really an advantage while waiting for the  price to rise up indeed that your portfolio is like a gamble but if you really trusting this project
why will you be afraid anyhow with the stake you are already getting free money out from this project good luck to you OP.

ark is the king and willbe the best crypto profits by end 2017
just voting delegates , you can make free money every week ,according to the amount of arks you have, you receive more or less ..
for me a 10/10

Thats really a lot on putting 80% since its almost going on all in but well its his own money though hope it would pay off later on. I dont have the track on this coin since im not really interested at all but its not really bad to see those link given above regarding on their roadmap and might see some things that would interest and i might possible buy later on.

The Price of the coin itself is not as important as the marketcap.

You look at it wrong. Everyone who is stacking is getting them so is no change. Only those not stacking dont get and lose. For you it is no change since you have same  % of ARK now and you will have same tomorrow, or in a year from now.

There will be another opportunities for future. Why should you risk 80% of bankroll? Never ever trade the money which you cant afford to lose. I hope you dont trade with leverage with risking all available margin..

For me ARK is a dinosaur game so you please tell me why you are so confident in it ?

It's a good bet.  Hope it pays off.  Definitly watching ARK closely.  80% is a lot to gamble with, but Good luck!

Exactly. I intend to pick up a few ARK as a part of my low price point portfolio. Can't put everything into a "sure thing" because the sure thing is already too expensive to make good profit.

Diversifying is really important. For now I am looking for 2 coins with a price under/around a dollar and 2 coins with a price of under/around 50 cents and bag them. If I hit at least one coin from each of these two groups in long term with decent price increase they will make good amount of money for me.

I think you should diversify your portfolio, it may be very profitable now but if ark will fail, you will face a big loss. Diversify half of it on new tokens.

wow wow...
chill dude,a lot of newbies talking about placing all of their money into ARK.
and what ?
if you want to shill at least buy sr.member++ account.
so many people will believe it,what is so special about by the way ?
just compare it with XVG ? if i was you i will do it,because it's an undervalued coin and surely will be the best in the coming year.
not something like ARK compare with

Is Ark a platform like Ethereum? I don't get it.

After checking out their website and roadmap -- I am convinced enough to at least throw something at ARK. It wouldn't hurt to hold a few hundred coins ... just in case.

Thanks for the tips.

Everything that has big following is already hyped up. Not a fat chance of it going much higher.

You need to find sleeping giants, like ARK.
I don't have as many ark, but an ok amount (759).

Why are you so confident in this coin? It seems like a large "bet" for something that doesn't seem to have a big following.

Check their roadmap: https://ark.io/roadmap/

Pretty awesome to see so many things being worked on
Better buy some more if you want to make staking a serious passive income I'm buying more if it dips for sure!

50% of my portfolio on ARK for me

Where can I track the progress of Ark? I have a few of them.

Hey guys..

The past week I doubled up when I bought the dip at $0.4

I'm sitting at 8500 Ark, recieving more than 80 ark a month in dividents from Dpos staking... Sweet passive income.

My goal is to be sitting at 10k ark, and have the rest of my portfolio in Bitcoin..

I see HUGE potenitial in this coin, sadly it's hard to drive the price up when it's only listed on 2 exchanges.

It's still early if you get into this coin now, it's barely half a year old (from when it hit exchanges).

With smartbridges, which they recently just tested on the ethereum platform (with success), and by looking at their roadmap, I predict this coin to hit $10 in a years time.. Could be sooner, but I think that's a realistic price aim.

Ark has almost the same number of coins as ETH, so $100 a coin is easily possible down the road (Which will make me a millionaire if it happens).

There are a lot of great coins out there, including NEO.. I just dont want to invest into something that is hyped and shilled as much, because I like steady gains instead.. NEO looks more an more like the Digibyte hype train to me, and I think it's safe to say I won't put myself into a situation where I bought too high.. I'll probably eat my words, but who cares, I love ARK  and it's helpful community!

My average buy in on ARK is $0.57
So I'm in the green already, sitting comfy with my passive income that I get weekly
