Topic: How many cryptocurrencies do you invest in? (Read 5877 times)

On the one hand, I would like to diversify due to volatility, but on the other hand, how many of these are actually going to survive? Eventually are we going to have 1 cryptocurrency that is fast, secure, anonymous, can handle smart contracts, and so on, and there will be no reason to use anything else?

I only invested in Bitcoins and in LTC (a while ago).
Bitcoin, is going to survive the reason it is the first decentralized currency and the first crypto-currency and all that its features.
It depends on you how many crypto-currencies you adopt because there is no limit on adopting.

Honestly diversification and subsequently 'forgetting' about your investments is your best bet in crypto's. I'd say invest in approx. 10-15 promising coins or ICO's (depending on your risk profile) and just don't touch them for a year or so.

This is actually a good plan. imagine forgetting about having 5000 btc you bought at $0.10 before, then you learn that it's $2700 today =)

Question which one will survive deserves logical answer, those who have enough funds for further development..Decentralized and anonymous transactions. Everything else can be upgraded on this base if need exist. We need an alternative to POW, POS is not good enough. Fast and usable coins with small chains..

I think if you invest in the top 10 PoW coins, it is more likely to succeed.

That may happen but we must not count on that to happen anytime soon, so I think we are going to have a basket of cryptocurrencies that perform different functions depending on the needs of the user, there will be a top coins for every niche and bitcoin will remain on top as the De facto gold of cryptocurrencies for a very long time.

I hold some $10-$50 worth of most cheap alts that are available on poloniex. It's my ticket to becoming a millionaire. Right now the biggest asset I won is 300 000 siacoin. BTC and ETH is a good way to win +50% or even double your money, but that won't change my life, so I go for the gamble with alts.

I think ethereum and bitcoin is one of the good investment and for sure the price of this coin will increase more in the future. I think this two can change your life if you have hundreds of bitcoin and ethereum for sure you will become rich after few years of holding. Many peple as of now investing in bitcoin and ethereum so the price is continously increasing so its better buy bitcoin and ethereum and hold it to make a lot of profit.

Man, if you're going to diversify, do it with other assets besides crypto. I think it's nice to have a little basket of bitcoin and assorted altcoins, but nothing in crypto is guaranteed. You need to be in the stock market AND have cash reserves. And probably some precious metals and bonds thrown into the mix. That would be some true diversification.

Pick good crypto, not shit coins. Stuff like LTC and the like. Don't listen to these balloon heads on this forum telling you to buy their pet shit coin. That's a sure way to lose money.

I've went through many transitions over time.
I started with BitCoin, then LiteCoin, a bit later to make my highest profit ever as a joke from DogeCoin - I focused on them for several weeks.

Right now I have shifted into Monero, Eth and BitShares.

Unfortunately some of the coins I was interested in did not succeed, but in the grand scheme you have to give something to receive.

Looks too me that is too much. I agree with your that you need to down. Diversification is good, but I suggest like to have 5-6 coins only. And only invest on coins that has a good developer to back it up and also look at the price and trading volume as well. I think with 20 coins, its hard to monitor every coin in your portfolio.

You can't go wrong mirroring what's happening on Poloniex. That's a good suite of coins. It's too hard to just look at CMC and see the obscure ones that go up 300% and think you can find them ahead of time. Reading the annoucement thread is good but it takes a lot of time to know what's really going on. If you just want to make money, stick to Poloniex coins, but if you want to use your heart, have fun and read up on what people are developing. I'm trying to do both.

I'm watching new ICO's very close. I buy and sell almost all of them. I played with Pivx, Ark, Incent, Trust, Edg, Waves, Komodo. There are too many new ICO's out there. Bittrex list them very quick and we can trade it right after ICO ends. I don't want to hold too many coins at the same time, most of the time I buy a coin and sell it to buy another one. If it reaches my target price I sell without think twice. Putting a target price for sale is the key factor here.

Fuck that, profit is never guaranteed, and it's not like anyone has any inside info on cryptocurrencies.

OP, you could lose your shirt trading altcoins. There's no predicting what they're going to do and the volatility is insane. It's even insane for bitcoin itself. The degenerates over in the gambling section will always tell you this: Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose, and that holds true for investing in altcoins. If I could give you any decent advice, it would be to stay away from the shittiest shitcoins, which are the ones that trade for a few satoshis each on places like Yobit. The market is extremely thin, and you'll have a very hard time getting the prices you want. Stick to the bigger ones if you must trade. And don't listen to anyone on this forum, including me.

I am not sure if you are being serious, but this is a terrible idea. Look at the performance of the index on http://alt19.com/. It uses a similar methodology as you and it has lost about 95% of its value.

I am a bit retarded but if you look at the numbers the amount of green is way higher than red?

You are not looking at it correctly. Scroll to the bottom and click on alt indices in the dropdown. Take a look at the graph and you will see what I mean. A few years ago the vast majority of the cryptocurrencies are not even existing today. The previous person wanted to invest $100 in 100 cryptocurrencies. That is very similar to the altcoin index. Yes, the ones that now exist are doing well. It is called survivorship bias, and a few years ago ppl did not know what would be existing now, just as now no one knows what will exist in the future.

Very bad website.

I have acted upon your suggestion and still its not clear what its telling. Rubbish!

Currently 2, in about a month that will be 3, because I don't have much time to research all the coins out there I have to be selective.
So for now EnergyCoin and GameCredits, in about a month MobileGo will the 3rd

I wish to invest $100 each in top 100.

I am not sure if you are being serious, but this is a terrible idea. Look at the performance of the index on http://alt19.com/. It uses a similar methodology as you and it has lost about 95% of its value.

I am a bit retarded but if you look at the numbers the amount of green is way higher than red?

You are not looking at it correctly. Scroll to the bottom and click on alt indices in the dropdown. Take a look at the graph and you will see what I mean. A few years ago the vast majority of the cryptocurrencies are not even existing today. The previous person wanted to invest $100 in 100 cryptocurrencies. That is very similar to the altcoin index. Yes, the ones that now exist are doing well. It is called survivorship bias, and a few years ago ppl did not know what would be existing now, just as now no one knows what will exist in the future.

For now only 2, but usually the number is between 2-5. And I try not to go with coins at the bottom, I know profit their could be 10x or more but I stick with the upper portion and try to rely on the regular pump and dump and get the small percentage of profit each time. I feel it is less risky.

On the one hand, I would like to diversify due to volatility, but on the other hand, how many of these are actually going to survive? Eventually are we going to have 1 cryptocurrency that is fast, secure, anonymous, can handle smart contracts, and so on, and there will be no reason to use anything else?

No we will not have one currency. We dont have one today either. With crypto we will have 1000 times more currencies as today or more.

10 different crypto currency in my portfolio which are currently on top 30. I believe investing on top crypto currency will help you somehow avoid major risk in the future.

It is easy to tell coins that are going to survive,coinmarketcap and coingecko is still the best guides on coins that are likely to survive because of comunity support and trading volume,I have stakes on 20 coins on the top 40 coins in the coinmarketcap..

Investing in ETH and XMR is enough for me. Active development and interesting technology. DASH is a marketing joke, Zcash based on "trusted setup".

XMR and ETH are here to stay, others come and go (and usually take your money with them).
