You should hold your ETH and keep earning on ETH. Then invest some of your money to diversify your portfolio

dont go for forks, they are a big scam in my oppinion. go for smart contracts, i would sugest you Viberate. ( you can read more abaout it here: https://www.viberate.io/ )

The weird thing about the price of ether is that a lot of Ethereum's long term value is that the platform is useful for doing ICOs, but on the other hand the ICOs (at least in the short term) put downward pressure on the price as people raising money convert ether to cash. Makes it hard to estimate a future price.

You can do both at the same time so you are not worry of your other concern. Holding ETH while have an active trades to other coins.

That's what you called a diversifying strategy meaning not putting all money at single coin. Now for the coin list, it's up to you what will you consider since we have different views at each coins.

Depends how much risk you want to take on.  ETH is a safer investment than other coins.  I would probably keep 50-70% of what you have, and use the rest to invest in other alts. 

If you don't like any risk, hold onto your ETH.

If you have additional money to invest, just hold all the ETH and invest in other alt coins.

Its much safer to invest in ETH now as you say. But stil a lot more coins to look at in 2018. Few of those are already in your list like Neo and Monero. These two coins are really gaining a good value in the market. So better you hold the ETH you already have and buy monero and Neo. You can still look at few other coins like, Litecoins, bitcoincash, Jinn, Ripple and Bitconnect. Go through the list in coinmarketcap.com. This site would clearly give an idea on which coin to invest.

If you are newvbie, the best option for you will be invest in Ethereum. Yes it is one of the safest way so looking for something other is unnecessary

I will divide it into, 70% for ethereum, 30% for waves and monero. But why do not you think about adding bitcoin in your portfolio?

I would definitely plan to hold your ethereum. I would say 2018 will bring a big jump in value for this coin. I definitely plan on holding on to my ethereum for the long term!!

Well sayings dude, because I also think the structure of ether is good for new ICO. But if we see a burst in ICO sector, I actually don think so, ether price may drop a bit. But rateher than ICO related things, ether has its own value too.

Hold your ethereum that will worth a lot soon. You must have seen the ethereum roadmap 2.0 which means that gives you ability to get the morecoin through your ethereum through the pos system.
I suggest you to not sell your ethereum just for another shitcoin with not purpose at all. Eos just a copycat and it seems worth.

hodl, it will rise to the moon in february 2018, an expert predict

because it has been created using Ethereum Technologies (erc20) it doesnt mean that it will always increase just like ethereum is doing.

There are a lot of coins that when etherem goes up, those tokens go down too, it is just like a correction. All the coins have their own movements, they are not copying ethereum or whatever you want.

Maybe sometimes they are just following bitcoin, but only because they are following the hype.

Just keep the ethereum that you have, do not sell it.

I am now always keep reserve in ETH. Too much going on based on ETH like good ICOs. Still I feel Neo has some catching up to do if you compare ETH market cap and Neo. I am currently holding both tokens. ETH has been my homebase in crypto from the start and I do not regret it.

Definitley reinvest it, in an Ether backed token!

Why? Many tokens are backed against Ether, meaning they still benefit from the price increase in Ether when you change them back to Fiat.

For example I would suggest Oyster Pearl (PRL), it made massive gains during the week, and still has potential for 5-10x in next couple months.
Better yet, it also benefited from the price increase ether saw during the last week.

ETH is now very potentially infestations and trading because very potential future to get leuntungan.

Hi there,

i think Spectrecoin - XSPEC is a coin to definitely take a look at, i think its one of the best and undervalued coins out there.. v1.4 to be released imminently.. the best privacy coin on the market currently, recently listed on Bisq a fantastic decentralised exchange, i purchased from Cryptopia exchange, can also stake your wallet and earn interest on your coin balance... also the wallet in v1.4 will have a slider function so you can also contribute a percentage of your staking coins to the development fund...

•   It is PoSv3 so its low power and very fast - 60 sec transactions
•   It has stealth addresses that make your transactions go through separate uncorrelated addresses
•   It will feature Ring Signatures from v1.5 on, that makes your digital signature of transaction signed by a person of a specific pool and otherwise untraceable.
•   It is first ever coin that has TOR with OBSF(ucation)4 integrated natively into an opened client. It makes your TOR traffic appear normal to a provider who would
        otherwise block access to TOR.
•   It has got encrypted chat function which is a big deal for privacy
•   It has professional cryptographers (15+ years in the field)
•   Also new website is coming on the way, since present one doesn't seem to be attractive at all
•   The grassroots community is strong and becoming organized, check them out on telegram and slack

2018 will be a big year Spectrecoin, low market cap and very cheap coin compared with similar coins in the privacy coin market which i think will become more attractive once regulation increases

Ethereum is going through a price spike at the moment but many argue that it is justified. Well, Ethereum offers good technology and many ICOs are basing their efforts on it for the release of specialized projects but if the ICO bubble ever bursts ethereum's price could be going down with it. I think that you should always be conservative with how much you'd be willing to lose and be decisive on when to get out.

Even though I think ethereum is overvalued now, you should not sell it as it has the biggest potential in the market considering the futurıe, you might sell very little amount of ether for other coins.

I know ETH is going to have a good 2018 but surely it is not going to be the best performer out there. It seems kind of a safe bet.

I am very new to crypto so my portfolio is mainly ETH that I gained with mining, airdrops and quick investments.

So I wonder...

Would you hodl ETH? Or would you invest it in other coin/s in the hope of bigger gains?

Would you go for Smart contracts (WAVES; EOS; NEO) or anonimity coins like monero and forks? Or any from the equihash family?
