Topic: How to make an effective crypto portfolio? (Read 643 times)

Your advice is almost perfect with the current state of the cryptocurrency market.  Although if confidence in Bitcoin and Ethereum is high, then with regard to altcoin you need to be very careful and make the right choice, because among all altcoin there are very risky coins and coins with bad potential.

This is the mistake that we usually make when we look at bitcoin, we think we must have all the money to buy a whole full bitcoin before we can make investment, but when it comes to bitcoin investment, we should know that the price of bitcoin is still very low compared to what the value would be in some years to come when bitcoin is fully developed, we need to start looking beyond these bull run value we have been seeing, if we can think beyond that, then we will know that we can invest with any little amount we can afford to invest with in bitcoin, and watch as it turns to fortune for us when we leave it for like a decade.

Imagine buying bitcoin worth $1000, and then it turns to $50k when bitcoin reaches $1 million in future, is that not a great achievement?

Spend 50% of your capital on BTC and ETH. The remaining 50% select new altcoin of small value for investment to increase the highest possible profit. This is the way I have done in the past to optimize the profit for my investment.

If you create a portfolio for at least several years, then you can fill Bitcoin at 50 or 70%.  But if you take into account the current price of Bitcoin and ETH, then it is best to choose ETH for most of its portfolio, and distribute everything else between BTC and other altcoin.

Just go for the most profitable one and it also can be an effective portfolio.

I would say just fill 60 to 70% of it with bitcoin and only remaining for altcoins and better avoid low market cap coins for some obvious reasons.

Yes, bitcoin is the best coin to invest in but if you need more profits, then altcoins are much better. Bitcoin can to to 2x from here in few months while altcoins can give us 2x or more in less than a month also. The best portfolio is the combination of bitcoins and good altcoins. I would suggest you to invest in top 20 altcoins.

Bitcoin is the most important coin. You had to invest in it in the first place. In the long run, it shows excellent results. It's never too late to buy it. But with the rest coins need to be cautious.

That's pretty much what most noobies do, so I'm not surprised at all. They buy in hoping that one of these coins will replace Bitcoin because they are faster and cheaper to use.

Bitcoin is the perfect hedge against how unstable altcoins are for people caring about their BTC ratios. Sure, there are times where altcoins do shine, but it's impossible to know beforehand when the right time is to buy yourself into an altcoin.

I have seen and heard so much nonsense about a looming altcoin season in the last couple of months, that I feel sorry for how stupid people really can be. Altcoin season will kick in when nobody expects it to kick in, that's how it works.

Lol, ain't know what a kind of portfolio is that. But we can't blame OP of his choice, that's the reason why OP asking a question on us that literally obvious he didn't know how bitcoin works rather than choosing altcoins.
@OP, obviously you should add this highly volatile crypto coin on your portfolio because this bitcoin might give you a better profit if you are patiently waiting on it. Go to the https://coinmarketcap.com/ and find the top 5 altcoins there including bitcoin and add in your portfolio, I think that is much better.

Dont know why you have missed on including bitcoin into your portfolio and since you are aiming for HODL then BTC would be the best choice to have in your bags.
Choosing up on what you would tend to hold depends on yours though but you shouldnt forget on the KING or main crypto we do know.
Among on the list you have collected or been holding i can say that it is a pretty good one.

That is true, but I doubt for those people who comes to crypto investment and bring a little money to investing and he chooses bitcoin for the main investment place. The price of bitcoin has a high price now comparing to the price of ETH or LTC whereas some people wants 1 amount at least to having a coin so as they only choose cryptocurrencies that have a potential and must have at least 1 amount such as 1 amount of ETH. Moreover when they intend to start for trading, I guess one amount of ETH is really profitable comparing we have 0.04 BTC.

In order to create a successful portfolio, it is necessary to carry out detailed research and to have a good command of the investment area, options and other factors. In order to invest in a risky sector or to create a portfolio in particular, we should be in good knowledge by conducting detailed research and follow the developments of the invested options very well. In addition, when creating a portfolio, the options should be broadly defined, not just a few options. On the other hand, if the investments are long-term, the most powerful and reliable options of the market should be preferred. In short term investments, the market should be followed carefully and not being greedy or emotional.

What?!
You have Ethereum and Litecoin but yet didnt come up into buying bitcoin first?
That should be the basics of all basics if you are entering the crypto field.
BTC first and I am sure you will be delighted later.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency, which uses encryption techniques to verify the transfer of funds and regulate the generation of units of currency, making it difficult to counterfeit. It is faster, secure, and cheaper than regular currencies. This is why cryptocurrencies are better than regular currencies. Cryptocurrencies have global acceptance. Because of this, conducting transactions becomes easier with these digital currencies. Transactions are simplified with private and public keys for privacy and security purposes. These currencies are used to make payments for online trading.

Obviously, You should add BTC on your holdings. and generally, I suggest people hold at least 70% BTC+USD of his total holdings. So you can hold approx 40% BTC and then try to hold rest of altcoin. If you have not BTC and USD on your portfolio then you will feel very foolish when the market will crash. Now it's your own choice that you will add BTC or not. Good luck

To create a portfolio, evaluate any coin; check its market cap, total supply and circulation supply. Now check how it relates to the coin, which has a similar market cap. With this observation, you’ll have an idea on how the value of coin will change in the future. Gauge how circulation supply is expanding. The total supply will show how many coins can ever be mined.

Study its team and advisors. Check when the ICO took place and the number of team members they are employing.

Try digging through their public code repositories.

Go through their white paper and find what their key indicators are trying to depict. At last, find if an active community is supporting the coin or not.

To make an effective crypto portfolio the investment needs to be diversified on different assets. Before making an investment needs to be clear about the time period to hold the respective assets. Separate portfolio for long term and short term holding seems to be the better choice.

The largest percentage needs to be allocated for bitcoin and the second largest percentage needs to be allocated for the top altcoins. Rest can be spend on altcoins with increased trading volume and low price.

That is pretty good reply. I think what matters the most when it comes to building a great and effective portfolio is how diversified you are and how quick you with the market signals. You need to have the asset that is has the most profitability and least risk attached. In addition, you have to be mindful about liquidity as well.

Educate yourself

Don’t worry, cryptocurrencies are here to stay, and you will not miss out if you take some time to first educate yourself. Investing without knowledge is equivalent to gambling. Take the time to become familiar with the field of cryptocurrencies.

Join a trading community

Networking is crucial for building a great portfolio. I progressed most when I joined a good cryptocurrency community. I joined “enchancedinvestor” when I was starting out and I’m still an active member of it. I suggest joining , because it’s awesome. Our analysts are amazing, they provide our community with great calls every day. You will have the opportunity to learn a lot from the meaningful discussions.

Invest

Eventually, you will have to start investing yourself if you wish to really understand the market. You will need to have many sucessful investments if you wish to have a “strong portfolio”. However, don’t be intimidated by the market. Educate yourself, start with smaller amounts of money and you will get a feel of the market.

Crypto-world involment

You could start writing articles and blogs about cryptocurrencies. This way, you will constantly be learning new information regarding the cryptocurrency market.

If writing articles is not your thing, start following more cryptocurrency articles. You will see what different people think about the cryptocurrency trends.

There are many more ways to be more involved in the crypto-community. If following articles and writing them isn’t your thing, find something else related to the field.

The important thing is that you are always learning new information regarding cryptocurrencies and gaining new experience.

I saw your portfolio and I'm a bit surprised that you don't have Bitcoin in your portfolio.

Don't you know that Bitcoin outperformed all of the altcoins in the past weeks and it increased its dominance. If you only put a huge percentage of your capital in Bitcoin the you are in a larger profit right now compare to what you are holding right now. Anyway, in the long run you can get profits on ETH and LTC. No idea on the other one coin which just came in the coinmarketcap out of nowhere. I suggest you hold other coins (diversification).

I wouldn't dream of having effective portfolio these days, all of my coins will be anonymously stored on private wallets. The preference I got on this matter was, avoiding stressful times seeing price that dumps. This is one way to control emotions, and when you could have control points you must do the limitations.

If someone asked me to list 15 good crypto projects i wouldn't be able to. A large part of the top 10 altcoins are total shitcoins like BCH and SV and let's not forget about XRP.

My effective portfolio consists of 90% bitcoin some ETH and some other altcoins but those are maybe 5% total. If you are investing in the space you should at least have 50% of your investment in BTC.

Absolutely not. There does not exist 15 different altcoins and token which are worthwhile, have a working product, or offer any advantage over bitcoin. If you are invested in 15 coins, then at least two thirds of your portfolio is trash. I would also wager that if you are are invested in 15 coins, you have not spent enough time reading and learning about each one, and you certainly can't keep track of the progress and developments of each one.

The vast majority of "cheap young alts" as you put it end up being scams or withering away to nothing. You are almost always better just keeping your money in bitcoin.

A very good an effective portfolio must contain at least 15 tokens and Bitcoin. Not all altcoins should be from the top-10 or top-20 of CMC. I see it is reasonable to invest in cheap young alts with very good potential.

Agree, you see the market price movements today and a few days before, bitcoin is one of a coin that has the best price movement, the price has doubled this year. Bitcoin is the most potential coin, so don't turn your eyes on bitcoin, you should to have it in your portfolio

hold? I think you should just hold BTC. The value of the BTC really cannot go below $ 9k5 and now the price of BTC is still quite cheap while sideways at $ 11k9.
I predict next week, its price will continue to rise like the end of next month.
You will see an incredible chart of BTC. But believe me, that's the whale's strategy.

This is not a good way to pick projects. Marketcaps are easy to manipulate, and having a high marketcap says nothing about whether or not the coin is a good investment.

I could create a token right now, and print 1 billion of them. I could then sell a single token for $10 to my friend. My token, which I created 10 minutes ago, would now have a marketcap of $10 billion, and be ranked number 4th on coinmarketcap, despite having zero volume and only ever having a single token change hands. Obviously my example is hyperbolic, but it shows just how easy it is to manipulate a marketcap.

Most of the top 10 coins are either trash or outright scams. There are two failed bitcoin clones which are both only kept alive by being pumped by their owners. Tether is likely insolvent. XRP is a centralized bankers' coin. Tron is plagiarized trash. EOS is one of the biggest scams in crypto. Picking any of these projects for your money is a huge risk and you are likely to lose out long term.

if there is no desire to take risks, then first of all, you can select all cryptocurrencies and in the top ten of the cryptocurrency market rating.  It will definitely be a profitable investment, but with varying degrees of volatility.

Everybody has a different opinion. You can make good money on holding higher valued altcoins or lower valued alts that you think are undervalued, but you just have to apply a different strategy based on what you're going after. As for your portfolio as a whole, everybody has a different opinion on that as well- some people (me included) have a majority stake in Bitcoin and alts like Ethereum, some a smaller stake in larger coins and a lot in various smaller coins.

With cryptocurrency in no time a valueless portfolio could get changed to be a big valued portfolio. This happens with the sudden change of market that we can't find with any other investment related portfolios. To be specific over this I believe portfolio that gets the coins on the top list in large volume and other cryptocurrencies in small scale in the ratio of 3:1 to be an effective cryptocurrency portfolio.

I guess you mean the assets to build in your portfolio, well, it depends first on how much of money that you intend investing in the current market, if the money is not so much for diversification, you can just pick Bitcoin and Ethereum, because certainly, these two coins will surely give you the services you required i.e. they do great jobs for investment and they are perfect coins to consider for using as payment method.

If you have enough money for diversification, what I usually do is to check on Binance exchange and look at the top altcoins that are performing well, these coins at the top on this exchange will definitely do well all the time, and most especially, during the altcoins bull run when the time comes.

I think the general knowledge for stock market portfolio fits perfectly for crypto portfolio as well. If you have studied the great minds of stock markets and fund managers than you will realize that they never put too much at stake with just one investment, one coin may go bankrupt but if you have 20+ coins in your portfolio than you won't get bankrupt.

Yes, the market sometimes go down and sometimes it goes up but eventually if you have too many coins when the bull run starts more often than not almost all of them will go up, which is why if you want to make sure you will earn as much as possible than you need to just put as much coins as possible into your portfolio. Never buy a new coin more than %5 of your balance, just get a bit of it and you can readjust later on.

As I have seen all your portfolio are altcoins probably you bought it when all of the cryptocurrency are it's lowest point, I think it's not too late to invest into bitcoin so grab it while it's starting to bullish also it's a great asset in your portfolio to have a major cryptocurrency on it.

But it's just an idea you don't need to follow us, just get an idea and do a research on it.

Usually the people in this forum will give a suggestion to choose bitcoin at first place for the portfolio of someone. I mean when you spend money to buy it then you have to devide your capital for at least 50% to buy bitcoin 25% to choose altcoin and 25 also to choose altcoin. And this has been proven to gain profit if anyone do this thing, as may see on the crypto price movement at this time. When you bought 50% for bitcoin then you will get a huge profit now. But it's depend on your capital, if you spend $100 to start investing then it will be good you choose bitcoin only for you investment place.

He clearly said he thought he should add Bitcoin to that list.


What kind of "top altcoin" that he should buy?

IMO this is the best moment to look for gems or undervalued alts that have a good long-term objective and has a good team to achieve it.

from what I see in the image does not show the price in Bitcoin that you bought and does not show the profit in bitcoin. you must be very careful about it. in case of litecoin for example:

to ten days ago the price of litecoin was 0.015 btc, but today the price of litecoin is 0.01 btc, I suppose that you should be at a losses in relation to bitcoin

the same can be said about the ETH, ten days ago the ETH price was 0.03 today the price is 0.026 btc, I suppose you should be at a losses in relation to bitcoin

An effective portfolio could be made easily if you compile the best coins in your wallet. I would suggest you to go for Bitcoin, ETH and BNB and maybe Litecoin. They are the best coins out there and I am very sure that if you have these sets, you are the lucky man for a sudden surge will add value to all your coins and not just Bitcoin. You could use them for many other purposes as well.

Of course you have to add bitcoin, bitcoin is a coin that must be owned in the portfolio. It seems strange that I see your portfolio does not have btc at all. Please start buying btc in stages and then buy the top altcoin, it will probably generate ROI within a few months after the bitcoin situation is stabilized above.

Maybe he was just showing his alt portfolio?

Actually, I used to think majority of people also held majority in bitcoin. And then I learnt that the opposite was true. People were so much into bounties, so much into alts, thinking about x100 and so on. Guess what? They gave up, but now that Bitcoin is all the rage, people are again taking the risks with IEOs.

Bitcoin dominance is over 60% but you don't have dare to add it to your portfolio?

But it is better to add atleast now or you will be worried about not adding bitcoin earlier in few years.Soon the prices are expected to reach new hig so you still have great chance of aquiring profits.

Bitcoin will be the factor that helps your portfolio increase the most among those 3 altcoins.
Currently you can see the power of BTC. The whole market has poured money into buying more BTC because they believe its value will grow back to $ 20k.
And this is a great time to buy more BTC and hold it for 3 months.
alts will increase slowly but BTC will increase very rapidly in the current period. Do not miss this opportunity.

Everyone's portfolio is a product of their own research and self-study.

Not because someone will tell you to also put on a certain coin because they got profit on it, does mean you will have the same result. We have different approaches so don't just follow or copy someone's list. Or make those list as a reference and do your homework if it's worth to put a shot.

Since you mentioned "hodl", then consider those coin that already in the top for a quite a long time now and successfully built a strong community.

My crypto portfolio same as you, but i sold some bitcoin due to the financial money. Litecoin still has halving news so don't worry but for the price, right now cant follow the price of bitcoin in fiat value. ETH I hold since under 150$, gaining a good profit until now i still holding ETH because i think Altcoin Party still not started atleast ETH fiat value can follow the bitcoin value. I'm still waiting for movement BTC pair.

With the prices going upwards for a few weeks now I don't think you really have a choice to "hodl" now because really your time to hodl has just passed now. The bear market is over and everything is pretty much on a steep price. All you can do now is to either trade or wait the perfect opportunity to short which I doubt will happen any time soon. If your aren't really into investing then you don't have any choice but to sit this one out until the prices correct significantly.

As an investor there would always be a saying that dont put all of your eggs in one basket but you didnt put any investment
into the main Crypto which is BTC but instead you purchased up a shitcoin which isnt really good at all (3rd one).
For ETH and LTC then theres no doubt on that one.

Well at least the coins you're holding are not as bad as the maximum level shitcoins most so called "investors" hold. What concerns me though is that BTC isn't the majority of your holdings. I mean, BTC should cover a minimum of at least 80% in my opinion.

On the bright side, at least you don't have TRX.. or XRP.. or EOS.. or....

Thanks for the advice guys. You convinced me and I agree with you


bought for 12800 0.039btc

You have a crypto portfolio and you don't have Bitcoin!! How useless is that!!

If I look from an investment perspective, bitcoin is the best performing crypto asset since its inception. Do you have any particular reason for not adding bitcoin? Please go ahead and add bitcoin as soon as you can because it is still cheaper at 12k USD. Don't buy big, instead take a systematic approach like SIP. Invest a certain amount of money into bitcoin at certain interval. It will average out the buying price as well as it will lower the risk of holding!

Go to the coinmarketcap pages for all three of the coins in your portfolio, and look at the graphs over the past week or month. Yes, all three have gone up in terms of USD, but all three have gone down in terms of BTC. BTC has outperformed all of your coins, and if you had only bought bitcoin, your portfolio would have a higher USD value than it has now.

Altcoins follow bitcoin. If bitcoin goes up then altcoins go up, but as you can see, they usually don't go up by as much as bitcoin does. You not only need to add bitcoin, but you need to make it the largest proportion out of all the coins you are holding.

Lol, bitcoin is one of the best performing assets and you say you don't have it in your portfolio?

As far as I know, majority of hodlers put like 60% or more on bitcoin to sit on their wallet for a long time and don't want to touch it unless they hit their exit strategy and then sell.

You said you need to add bitcoin, then do it before it's too late.

Hello. I want to ask experienced people how to make a crypto portfolio. Here is my
