There is no set rules or guidelines for percentage of coins in portfolio. For myself, I prefer to have at least 40 to 50% in BTC.

And coins percentage most likely change depending on the current market situation.

No there is no specific amount or percentage of holding coins. I believe that every trader has their own strategy or ways on which they think they will benefit more. The percentage or the amount will definitely depend on the owner. As a newbie trader, I often more than half of possible profit due to bad decision making. Sometimes, the price of the tokens will suddenly go down and it was also the time when I needed some money so what would happen is that I will be forced to trade at low prices because I need to.

Those who are going to follow your advice are definitely going to be the new elite class of the crypto world. There is no doubt in this fact that bitcoin is the most successful digital currency up till now and the new rich people we are seeing because of digital currencies are all those who invested and kept bitcoin in their wallet for long time with patience.

I basically use the strategy which I evenly distribute my risk of each coin. I currently have 30%BTC, 30%ETH and 30%LTC, the rest 10% i will use to purchase some other alt coins.

Currently the most I hold is Bitcoin and a little OMG and ETH but trader wise, is there a recommended percentage?

My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

Sometime ago I read a blog post that recommend the following percentage of coin's portfolio one should hold: "Bitcoin 50%,ethereum 10%, ripple 10% ,zcash 10% and 10% for new coins that are being listed in exchange platforms, another 10% for ico projects". I think his recommendation is worthwhile and after follow them for some time now I have no regrets. Your current holdings is not too bad too and you can still expend it. Good luck to your investment.

This mainly depends on your financial status but try to keep most of saving in bitcoin (40-70%) then choose 2-3 projects for long term holding at least one year from the date of buying .

I would suggest everyone to hold at least 70% to 80% of their net crypto wealth in the form of Bitcoin. It is the most reliable and the original crypto-coin out there and the others are not that reliable.

I don't think there is a recommended percentage of different coins to hold. I believe all rally around the level of your capital, and the percentage of risk that you want to take on each coins which you plan to invest your capital.

My current holdings are:
BTC 60.75%
OMG 33.74%
ETH 5.51%

This percentage depends on each individual and how much risk they are willing to take on each coin they are holding. No amount of percentage you want to hold for each coin is too small or too big but make sure you are not holding a shitcoin, that is the most important.

it's good percentage in my opinion.
60.75%% for Bitcoin is very precise because Bitcoin is the strongest Cryptocurrency and the price has increased steadily in recent years.
But I do not agree with 33.74% OMG I think it's too big also 5.51% ETH. The second strongest Cryptocurrency after BTC is ETH, so it is very useless if you hold only a little ETH.
But all the decisions are up to you.

It's not complusory that your percentage should match other traders you won't have simply hold a particular coin if you know there is going to be loss omg seems like a solid coin to me in starting it seemed like every other coin but will all their roadmap it convinced me to add it in my portfolio

Yes, it's better to build your own percentage but if you want to follow others trading strategy, he can. OMG is a good coin to choose, it's market cap is starting to increase and with my trading group (not pump and dump) is discussing about this all the time and there are OMG holders that I know who holds a lot of it. Just be sure that you hold bitcoin in the end of the day as this will always has the chance to increase.

I don't think there is a certain recommended percentage of holding coins. The choice is yours, you do your own good by buying the coins which you think might benefit by the end of the day. However, I would advice that you add some more coins on your list if your willing to make quick profit.

There's no like standard recommended percentage, but it's always a good idea to diversify more depending on how much value you're holding. Let's say for example you're holding like $50, then there's almost no point in diversifying with such low budget. But if you're holding like $5000 or so, it would be best to diversify.

I think you're holding too much OmiseGo in my opinion. Good tech, yes, but I wouldn't risk as much as 30% on it. I suggest using a 50-10-10-10-10-10 ratio of cryptocurrencies instead, with 50% bitcoin. But it's up to you. Tongue

I will have to agree with you, I think he is holding too much omg as well, I do have it but i think I have like 5-6%, 33% is too much risk for him. If it doesn't do good then it means he will have to lose on his investment.

Now we can't exactly say that . Like now there are many crypto currencies and it's really hard to predict as to which cyrpto currency will become successful. After Bitcoin if there is any competition then it is ethereum so having that should not a bad thing.

Depends on the size of your portfolio (in $) and the amount of risk you are willing to take. If you have a lot of money to spent on crypto I would say 80% in the 'safe coins' like BTC and ETH and the other 20% in coins like OMG, FCT, ARK etc.

There are no exact percentage because it is all up to you, how much you want to make profit and how long you want to keep your investment, for a long term I suggest 75% of Bitcoin and 20% of eth and other 5% could be litecoin or ripple or BitcoinCash, but if you want a short term I suggest 50% of Bitcoin 20% of eth and the rest of the percentage is the mixing of the alt coin, it can be ripple, litecoin, OMG, nxt, nem depend on the market trend

Yes, there is no certain thumb rule for this. It is up to you and it is you who has to decide by keeping in mind all the possible factors. I think of you want to earn more money, and then you should definitely keep a significant amount of your earning in Bitcoins. You can have a small portion of your earning in order to fulfill you daily based needs. The choice is totally yours. Do what seems best suitable to you.

Yeah. Different situations would determine this because not all of us are capable of saving a lot due to our financial status. If it were up to me, of course i'd save at least 50% of may money but again there are things that may happen that would prevent me from saving that much

You have a very sharp mind I must say. I am a very firm believer of holding of the coins. The percentage which you need to hold, certainly depends on you. In my opinion, you need to hold at least 70% of your Bitcoins. With rest of the Bitcoins, you can do trade or anything which you want.

Indeed! There is no need to keep any particular amount of money in your account or like wallets. You can keep whatever amount you like or probably afford. But it is not ever recommended to keep your coins all the time in wallets, you need to wake them up from slumber and use them for fulfilling your needs.

After study cryptocurrency portfolio very well I think one should partten they portfolio in this ways at least 50% of the risk capital should be invest to bitcoin, 10% to ethereum, 10% to litecoin 5% to neo 5% to lisk 10% to zcash , 5% to strats and 5% reserved for ico investment.

I think you have a good point here. If I want to invest in the top 10 coins, I can as well just use their marketcap to decide each percentage I will allocate to each one I am decidiing to hold. However, this is just good for decision making, not like a normal pattern for looking at the one with most prospect cause even the 10th coin today can be the 20th tomorrow.

There isn’t a recommended amount to hold, just follow your instincts and don’t let what anybody said change your mindset, you should just keep what you think would be sufficient for you when the market is booming

Following people will of course sometimes get you confused. It is never good basing one's decision on other people's opinion most especially on this forum that most people are here just for the signature campaign.
Although, not like it is bad to seek for opinions, but do your own assignment and just use others opinion to find a balance probably if there is something you must have missed from your own research.
