you should look into viberate, its gonna go big in 2018, its gonna be good coin in the future. you can read more about it here: https://www.viberate.io/

Thank you all. I'm not going to invest a lot of money. I intend to try to climb the cryptoworld with just 1k and see how it goes.

I know some are probably confused as they why I'm diversifying so much (with so a little amount on my head). The reasoning is that I think there are a lot of interesting cryptocurrencies with some fantastic ideas. Some of them sound like they can help to bring the interface of the cryptoworld to the common man (practical and simple ideas) while others could shape the way we do things if they ever get off the paper. I'd like be part of that by making the choices that could get us there, if it ever happens.

Perhaps 2017 will not be a repeatable year in a life-time but going off my top 10 list - if I had started and learned about those cryptos off the white-papers, articles and discussing off the forums, my earnings (if I started with 1k and put 100 bucks in each one) would be something like..

1. Bitcoin (BTC) 2326%
2. Ethereum (ETH) 9329%
3. Monero (XRM) 14470%
4. Ripple (XRP) 11601%
5. Lisk (LSK) 7805%
6. Ark (ARK) 17257%
7. NEO (NEO) 63501%
8. NEM (XEM) 19144%
9. FunFair (FUN) 159%
10. NAV Coin (NAV) 4922%

(my estimates are off the values from early week to YTD) ... which would put my net value at 151.514k if I held it (which I probably will for at the very least 6 months maybe 2 to 3 years depending on how progress goes). I know it's probably easier to just pick off a few but picking a lot can net you a lucky one early on that really pushes up your portfolio (like NEO vs FunFair). 

But I really like the idea of a high-risk portfolio off 30%. Taking chances with hidden gems that might go through the roof. I'm guessing marketcap plays a vital role in picking them up as well as the potential for the idea and some shilling to see the initial price boost (XVG is the perfect example of this when you consider the current XMR limitations - not that I give XVG any credit).

Maybe 45% for cryptos that are developing projects (ETH, ARK, NEO, IOTA), 25% for cryptos with practical uses (REQ, XLM, XRP, LSK) and 30% for cryptos with high-risk profile (??). Does this sound good?

As already mentioned, I think it is not wise to split your money into so many coins unless you plan to invest a really high amount. Choose 5-6 coins and then hodl!

I think now the market is just right, no need to wait a dozen days. Because some altcoin, like bitcoin, do not go down at all. I do not want to go back to regret it.

I like the list of this and I think this is a good selection for us and although we only have small capital, I think if we have patience to wait for the price is up then it is worth. from those 5 coins, I think waves it is still cheap between the other and I think you can start to invest in waves too. but if you have big capital then you can go with all of that coin list. make sure you can determine how much money you want to used to buy the coins so you know how much profit you want to take.

My advice would be to buy now only the coins that haven't increased by 300% in the past 1-2 weeks. You must wait for those coins to be red again. I think its a bad time to buy now, as the prices will have to stabilize, that means there will be a dip.

I highly recommend that you look at these projects!!!

The most undervalued coin - XSPEC

1) SpectreCoin (XSPEC)

Almost all the coins are good in the list and will help you earn good profits. 
You forgot to add Dash and Monero to the list. These are good potential coins too.

That looks like a good portfolio of hiqh quality projects. Perhaps 70% investment in masternodes and the rest in dapps.

Most suggestions have pointed towards Bitcoin as one of the sure coins to invest in. However, few altcoins like ETH, Ripple, Neo and Litecoin are sure to give great returns over time.

As you can see it is very hard to find projects that beat the performance of BTC and Ethereum this year, so it is better to put like 40% of your portfolio in both and spread the remaining in Altcoins, I just feel that 2018 will be the year that will separate men from boys in Altcoins market

I would suggest you to put most part of your money on bitcoin, and then diversify the rest in other altcoins, like ethereum, monero, dash, and a few more.
Dont pay attention to everybody in here, because it is obvious that we all have different ways to think about "which" altcoin is more profitable than the other.

Always best to diversify to invest a cryptocurrency, yes btc is the best investment. Ofcourse dont focus only in one coin invest in other coin which has a huge potential to increase in your portfolio.

Not really needed, whatever amount you have as long as you can call that a decent amount then you have the chance to be profitable.
Choosing a lot makes you minimize the risk, please note that the entire market is progressive so if you hold, that would give you an overall profit.

How much money do you have? Unless you have a big budget, I think you have chosen too many coins. The best portfolio is just about 5 coins. And my advice are Bitcoin, IOTA, Ripple, Neo, and Litecoin

you have to start somewhere.. usually put money into BTC first since you will need that to trade other currencies anyway

I think you should build a "core" portion, consisting on the top alts. I would suggest Combicoin which is 100% backed by the top 30 cryptocurrencies, equally weighted and rebalanced constantly. You reduce risk this way and capture the market movements. Plus I would add other alts that are not already in the top 30, that you like, to complement the portfolio.

these are my recommendations for the year 2018

wabi
eth
xrp
neo
wtc

please do your own research on this,  i am personally holding Wabi and ETH. Other coins i am going to buy near days. Please invest on potential ICO's also.

Your 2018 portfolio :

BUY BITCOIN AS WEALTH. 

BUY GOLD AS SECURITY. 

BUY ALCOIN AS INVESTMENT 

BUY PEGASUS TOKEN AS TIME.

Oups... Is PEGASUS will be the next BITCOIN ON STEROIDS ? 
or simply INSANE?

Hope it is Helpful!

I think you need to choose IOTA,Ripple, NEO. They all good and worth for invest,see the price these day, it unstoppable.
