Well... Steem...

That was the first coin I invested in, 100 off Steem.

Now... I messed it up :p

I noted my password on just a paper, I still have the paper though but it seems I made a mistake in writing it down... I already tried several of hundreds of combinations but I can't find to seem the right solution...

So I have Steem, I have an account on Steemit but I can't transfer the money.. Looks like I have paid some "learn money" to get familiar with crypto..

Lesson learned? Make back ups but not just on a single piece of paper witch can contain lots of human mistakes...

I'm still not giving up on the password but it seems like a mission impossible...

I didn't mention the Steem in my portfolio because I see it as lost

Ouch! I'm sorry you lost access! That said, it is controlled via a website with an email or facebook link or some kind of external connection. (It required facebook originally from what I understand but worked with just an email when I signed up) So.. you may be able to recover or reset your steem account, if you still have access to whatever other account you used. You can also try contacting the devs directly - they do help reset things, for example when a user posts a private key publically (I almost did lol)

If this info helps, please remember me when you're rich. ;>

Re: storing many many altcoins: There are multi-coin wallets. Just be careful, watch for viruses and malware, etc. I could use suggestions for a good one.

Do you hold your coins on exchanges?

Or manage 10 different wallets / private keys / backups?

I've heard a phrase - if you keep coins on exchanges you don't really own it...

So I would like to know - also as a newbie creating portfolio - how to securely hold multiple coins?

Ideally one seed phrase used to generate all the private keys to various wallets - possible?

Genuinely curious how to securely store them.

So many passwords, backups, recovery phrases - very easy to get lost.

My questions is in the "newbie" territory that's why asking here.

It looks like a nice portfolio you have there. I'm going to look up on these coins and learn. I thing €1250 is plenty to start off. S very nice amount. You could profit greatly. I think over the new few months and hopefully years these coins will pay off long term. Also add menero and Bitcoin itself. I know someone already said so I'm just reenforcing it.

ty! I already broke the 1k mark in profits

i see this means your in for a long term profit..
my take do not panic sell and do not give up .. just keep holding 90% of those coins will give you 100% profit in less than 6 months
good luck..

Hah I tried to buy some when I first heard about it. in v0.3. XD It was too hot for me to CPU mine.

When the ASICs first came out, I mined up almost an entire bitcoin before the difficulty spiked.

Sadly I only have about 0.1 BTC to invest now.

Any suggestions for long-term holdings?

@MissEmVa - you might want to check out STEEM - https://steemit.com/ - the blockchain runs that site.

Funny story, I actually bought my first coin from the guy who created this website.
The year was 2014, 20 BTC for $400.
I remember it like it was yesterday.

I had way too much fun with those coins.

Anyway, 8 months later I bought 10 BTC for $1,000 and now here we are Wink

AND YES, probably should've just waited and held onto them ZECkers.

Maybe next time.
Peace!

Thank you

Believe me, I've banged my head against the wall too many times from trading lol.
Flipped all my ZEC into XRP, hopefully it was the right move Huh

This is the biggest problem with trading, make a wrong move and you realize you should have just waited. On the other hand if you don't trade you bang your head for staying too long in a coin.

I've been trading crypto for a few years and had zero prior trading experience... I make more money when I keep it simple. I suggest staying far away from Poloniex and use Bitfinex instead. Bitfinex currently has 8 coins... and that's all you need to make money.

Every month, I predict which 4 coins will gain the most ground within that month... that means I stick to one coin per week. I know people say don't put all your eggs in one basket, but I'm looking to pull off only 2 trades per week that yield massive profit. Last month was my most successful month. On May 1st, I had $50,000 in crypto... today I have $250,000.

I invested everything into LTC. Segwit pumped, then I dumped everything into ETC. BTCC pumped, then I sank everything into XRP. XRP pumped, then I dumped everything into ZEC. Yes, i did miss the Morgan Stanley pump. Oh well. Couple days ago I sank everything into XMR before that pumped. Then, went back into ZEC last night at 3 in the morning and made about $30k off this mornings pump. Sold at 0.11 BTC.

Bought about 1,000 ZEC at 0.1 BTC couple hours ago and think I'll sleep on that.

Be smart, do hours of research every day, and trade like you got balls.

Invest actively and trade passively.

Very impressive, I wish I had that much to invest. XD

I'm finally getting back into messing with cryptocurrency again, this thread is great, thank you all.

I think Golem is the best one (least risky) and the most risky Verge (because it just shut up so much I just can't see that not going down at some point).

I'll watch good luck.

Agree on both!

I do think Factom is still a sleeping Giant !

I'd add SC to my list of investments if I were you. It's still cheap as hell and has a lot of potential to grow. Its developers are very active and you can see that in their subreddit. The fact that it's been around and has been listed on all major exchanges is helpful too. You can also mine some if you're into that and don't want to spend money directly.

Will get deeper into SC... You're not the first one mentioning this... What potential do you see in SC ?

Hello MissEmVa

I think you have a decent portfolio

a) Need to add BTC, you will need this finance purchases since most currencies trade vs BTC

b) Would not include Ripple, its already 9B market cap, hard to see appreciation here and the promoters own a very large share block which is an overhang

c) Consider adding a few small low market cap coins: Feathercoin, MusicCoin, Viacoin, Voxelus. These will be more volatile but you may earn higher returns here.

Agree on the BTC, and pbb agree on Ripple as well

I will give this low market cap coins a look, only read a bit about viacoin atm..

Never put all eggs in one basket.
So, it is good you spread your risk.
I think you should have some bitcoin. Maybe 40% of tital in value
Also, siacoin and digibyte are good

Siacoin was idd on my list, but didn't invested in yet. Maybe you can convince me?

Digibyte I have

I've installed JAXX wallet Today but only 10-15 coins supported... So I'm genuinely curious about the ways to store them all...

No I try to not hold my coins on an exchange. For most of the coins I have separate wallets / private key / backups

If you have ethereum based tokens as Golem and Wings, you can store them in MyEtherWallet..

I still have Factom and verge on the exchange, but will create a separate wallet this week. I do use coinpayments.net to store my ripple and MAID atm.

Hi crypto-lovers !

As you can see I'm what you call a newbie on the bitcointalk forum...

I'm fairly new to crypto, began do some research and investing since a couple of weeks. Glad to have discovered this amazing world !

I invested 1250€ into it, pbb peanuts in comparison with some of you but I have to start somewhere

This is how my portfolio looks like atm:

Ethereum 3
Factom 5
Stratis 50
Golem 250
Maidsafe 250
Ripple 300
Digibyte 3000
Lisk 50
Waves 20
Wings 100
Verge 9000

Feel free to comment on the choiches i've made and feel free to share yours !

Inn for the long term !!

Your portfolio looks decent, I would get rid of ripple and add bitcoin instead. I would also keep some money aside for ICOs as most of the coins you listed already had their prime pump times whereas ICOs are completely new coins which can go up many thousands of times their original value if you pick them right.

Thanks! SOMN is atm the only ICO I'm having an eye on.

Other suggestions ?

Monero? Bitcoin?

I think in my situation Bitcoin is pbb not the best risk/reward ratio, same for Monero. What do you think ?

It's definitely the purpose to convert to bitcoin some day, but I think atm some other projects are going to show me more profit.
