This is a very serious investment. I would keep most of the Altcoins, about bitcoin did not forget. It would be BNB, EOS, ETH, ADA, DASH, NEM, OMG, XMR.

you are right to choose a crypto that has a smart contract platform, ETH and NEO is the right choice for you. maybe you can also consider tokens owned by exchanges like BNB and KCS.

If it's only about safe investment, bitcoin is the safest coin of all. It is the most suitable coin for long term investment and will be mass adopted soon.
Store of value and asset are the main descriptions of bitcoin now if you will ask someone what bitcoin is but as a payment bitcoin still suits.
You have a good prediction about bitcoin but why you doubt it?
Bitcoin all in.

Im in crypto since september 2017 and reading articles, forums, even global economics everyday, as well learning on technical analysis on a daily basis.

Maybe we didnt understand quite well. I meant that BTC is not technologicaly advanced compared to some other coins and not generaly. And i never said i want to buy bounch of coins...im thinking of geting BTC and 2 or maybe 3 ALTS in top 30 and 2 smallcap coins. And when i say hold for 2 years i didn mean to hold it nomatter what, im gonna definatly sell if i see an upcoming correction.

Based to my resarch im definatly going in
BTC
NEO



Cant decide on
ETH, ADA, LUMENS, IOTA
NULS, NANO, DEEPONION, ICON, XSPEC, VECHAIN, ZILIQA, LISK, 0X, KMD, SONM, POA, BNB and probabaly alot more good coins

There are lots of good coins, but im afraid there is not room for all

Im investing in max 6 to 7 coins

I would still wait for more dips, I do not believe that this is the bottom. Always good to be invested in BTC during the downfalls because you will lose much less. When the market turns around, I would put half into top-10 of your choice. Earlier I was investing in low cap / high risk / high reward coins, but now this is not the right time for that.


Large supply means nothing, you should look at the market cap. Not always the case however, because high cap coins could have zero volume and they still could get easily pumped.

Just remember to Dollar cost average

These types of big portfolio is not for the any investors because everyone expecting the profit in soon and some investors investing in long term so first plan for the time period then carefully choose the 10 coins and perfectly analyse the all coins then pick to 3 coins because more than 5 five coin is little hard monitor so better choose the safer investment in convenient way.

the first question is "how familiar are you with this market?" based on your comment specially the point #5 and the fact that you say you want to buy and hold a  bunch of coins, i assume you have no idea how this market works.

so my suggestion is that you should first hang around in the market for a couple of months. and most important of all you should try to see the history of different  coins. check their charts in the long run like for a couple of years and see how they have been changing.
try to figure out why each coin rises and falls (aka pumps and dumps) and try to take advantage of that if you want profit.

My suggestion so that you can share it in some altcoins.
20% BTC
20% ETH
20% TRON
20% ADA
20% LCD

25% BTC
50% ADA, ICX, ETH, NEO, SC
25% ARK, SONM, PIVX

You have done a very good research about most of the potential coin and I like your thought about them but I suggest bitcoin and ethereum for hold on long term because of the potentials they have moreover, based on your research you should be convinced about the coin that s good for hold for the period you choose and you can split you cash averagely into both coin or 60-40% depending on how you want it.

You've done a bit of research it seems, I would agree with the points you've stated.
I would do one of 2 things:
1. Buy and hold BTC till things pick up, if you do go down the alt path keep an eye on BTC, BTC dip = alts go down.
2. Trust your own research on what to buy, you like platform coins which aren't a bad choice, I recommend going for one which has proven to have a bottom and is close to it now, EOS is doing well but it has larger potential to dump compared to say NEO or ETH, I like the look of NEO at the current price as it's at the bottom and holding pretty strong at it's satoshi price.

Good luck!

Btc & Cryptocurrencies have performed remarkably bad since the January 2018 and they are attracting new investors from now on because of current market prices. However, most cash holders like you and new investors have difficulties in finding a suitable portfolio to invest. I can see how confusing it is when you first start seeking for new cryptocurrency investments. I think that, under your opinion of "BTC will gain alot in few years, it will go mainstream as an speculative investment for ordinary people, therefor banks will offer btc investments funds, retirement funds...goverment ", you'd better use $8k to buy btc and btc only.
Good luck

Its true that bitcoin have biggest advantage than other altcoin because it was the first crypto currency and the problem bitcoin is facing are high tx fee and long waiting confirmation which lightning and the SegWit are trying to amend. However, you need to be positive in every thing you cause what man think of is what he will become and like you said concerning private coin, yo might wrong about what you think the government will in other to manipulate there price. Meanwhile, people believe XRP is centralized coin which is the reason why it hardly gain some pump in price and if I were you I will invest in both private and centralized coin but I will invest high in private coin because the planned usually come to vain over private but you wise in coin with good historical data coins like BTC,ETH, WANCHAIN, UBCoin,PRL, NEO etc. The choose is still yours but private will still be fine for the next more years cause some countries have already considered there potentials.

Hi
Im thinkimg of investing about 8k$.

Please suggest a relative safe but also with big gain potencial coins. Im investing for 1-2 years, maybe longterm if crypto market and blockchain shows mainstream adoption.

1.However i do like privacy coins i dont think it will show big pptencial due to goverment regulations, they will not allowd people to have conpletly anonymous transaction. However i could be wrong.
2. I think platform coins have potencial, ETH, NEO, ADA, EOS...coins should have real life chances to be used, so there cannot be problems with scalability...etc...3rd Generation platform coins? Could that be first realy usefull platforms for mainstream?
3. Lots of smallcap coins show potencial and i like them, however i dont wanna become bagholder.
4.large supply coins are harder to pump also harder to dump, but i think people are avoiding them, my thoughts are that relative short term are not bringing lots of profit, especialy established coins like XRP...how to pump xrp 10x, almost imposibble.
5.BTC is in my opinion only as investment fund, dont think its tehnologicaly advanced and real life use. Biggest advantage of btc is that it was first.
6. My future predictions for crypto are: BTC will gain alot in few years, it will go mainstream as an speculative investment for ordinary people, therefor banks will offer btc investments funds, retiremend funds...goverment and global economics will adopt reallife use of blockchain. Large country willl have its own regulated cryptocurencys, and when i say regulated i mean completly tracable and transparent coins, coins that will be artificuly maintainig its price. No real life use coin for pyment cant have 20% volatility. Platform coins will survive, probably few of them and all will have its own market. ETH for conservative companys, NEO for mainstream, ADA for tehnogicaly advanced. Privacy coins will have problems with goverment, regulations, ban...it will be used but small percent of people really need real privacy coins. I dont care if i buy a coffe with privacy coin or with btc, im not hiding anything.

What are your thougts?
Which coins are good gain potencial in 1 to 2 years?
How would you invest 8k$?
I probably wont invest anythong more in few years than that 8k. However if i loose everything im not gonna die, i can afford to lose it.

Please suggest

Thank you
