Topic: Smaller coins for portfolio. Would you buy these coins? (Read 725 times)

i'm not too familiar with those coins except komodo and if i'm not mistaken Komodo had succesfully ICO last year and if this coin still exist until today with pretty high volume support i think this is good to be considering as your portfolio and you have to realize that stick to the coin with have position on the top 100 on coinmarketcap will decrease your risk to loss

Honestly, I am not familiar with any of the coins you've listed. But as I've checked it in coinmarketcap.com, I saw that some of these coins have the potentials. Here are the data I've recorded about these coins. (Data based on coinmarketcap.com, November 2, 2017)

RANKING BASED ON PRICE (the lower the price, the better):
1. Siacoin - $0.0036
2. Substratum - $0.104
3. Golem - $0.186
4. Chainlink - $0.165
5. Maidsafe - $0.32
6. Kyber - $1.00
7. Viacoin - $1.58
8. TenX - $1.58
9. Komodo - $2.54
10. PIVX - $3.16

RANKING BASED ON MARKET CAP (the higher the rank, the better):
1. Komodo - 24th
2. PIVX - 31th
3. TenX - 32th
4. Golem - 33th
5. Maidsafe - 38th
6. Kyber - 44th
7. Siacoin - 52th
8. Chainlink - 79th
9. Viacoin - 101th
10. Substratum - 136th

RANKING BASED ON CIRCULATING SUPPLY (the lower the circulating supply, the better):
1. Viacoin - 22,881,636 
2. PIVX - 54,643,637 
3. Komodo - 100,945,510 
4. TenX - 104,661,310 
5. Kyber - 134,132,697 
6. Substratum - 226,091,449 
7. Chainlink - 350,000,000
8. Maidsafe - 452,552,412 
9. Golem - 833,032,000 
10. Siacoin - 30,643,752,924

Getting the overall ranking based on their ranking in each category, we will have:
1. Komodo (4.33)
2. PIVX (4.67)
3. TenX (5)
4. Golem (5.33)
5-6. Viacoin (5.67)
       Kyber (5.67)
7-9. Maidsafe (6)
       Substratum (6)
       Siacoin (6)
10. Chainlink (6.33)

I conclude that, based on your list, Komodo, PIVX, and TenX are the best altcoins to invest in or at least you should prioritize to invest in. You can also see that it's not the price that greatly affected the final ranking, but it is the market cap. That's why most traders and investors keep on saying that the market cap of an altcoin has something to do with its success in the future.

Most people will leave ( personal opinion ) smaller coins because there's no proof they will survive on the real market & mostly has low volume. But some people will take it with a good analyze and faith about smaller coins ( gambling with knowledge ). If you have analyze and faith, just buy it but not me. I still need time to decides because my knowledge / experience about small coins is zero. I hope you'll find the best smaller coins for your portfolio and good luck.

Interesting approach

Enigma ENG is strong coin but it's in a lot of ICO's end up being cheaper after trade on the exchanges. It has full of potential, wait some news and price will go up.

How about Enigma ENG ?

I only buy TENX from the list, the rest is not promising in my perspective. TenX can dominate debit cards on its sector after getting more users into their system.

Thanks everyone for your comments and opinions, although some
of them are quite opposite ( Siacoin). Will keep researching.

Well i'm not buy those coin, but i have some small coin also. yes maybe small coin are easy to become PnD coin but as long as it's good project i wouldn't mind to buy it for long term

Great choice of altcoins op. I suggest you continue your plan to invest into these coins in your list because these coins have decent developing teams. These clins in my opinion,  really have great potential to succeed anywhere next year. So i suggest you put invesemts on all of them.
Goodluck.

Absolutely no reason why you shouldn't look into them just because their market capitalization is small right now. In fact these are the coins that have the most potential to grow in the future because it is harder for big caps to grow.

I would avoid MAID since it's unlikely that it's going to get pumped anytime soon. Project has been around for years with little progress.

But others, like Tenx, Substratum, are interesting projects.

I wouldnt touch most of those. Try to buy into coins with more liquidity (trading pairs in more exchanges) so that you're less vulnerable to pump and dump or other price manipulation schemes. And i would wait a little bit closer to the fork to buy into any alt coin, in case they drop a bit further.

add lomocoin, ios app will be released very soon.
Also Req and Social will be given good returns this weeks.

Why do you forget about monero?

I think it has a promise future as a smaller coin.

By the way it is my favorite one.

I will go with
Substratum (SUB) is new on market and have a lot of potential for growing also great team
TenX (PAY) is very cheap now, they have product which is already in use
Pivx (PIV) is one of my best coin, very good community now they implement zPiv coin which is most anonymous staking coin

like option 4 could be Golem or Chainlink

I think must pay attention at least on three coins: Kyber, Link and TenX. Good choice for long term.

That’s a 60:40 bad good ratio of portfolio. I understand that they are very cheap at this stage and you want to get them at this stage to hope 100x or something like that profits. But I see only TenX, siacoin, viacoin as potential coins here. There projects are being developed at good rates and they still sustain good market capitalism which means good prices coming in the future for these two three coins. Siacoin once pumped a lot during its progress on exchanger and it will do it again in next quarter. So yeah some good coins are there which can give you decent fortune in the long term holdings. So that’s one more added vote from my side. ;-

For me, 50% of my coins are for long term namely BTC, ETH and XMR.
Rest 50% are selected coins and tokens which I've set to sell on a fixed ratio of profit.
I've set 50% of individual tokens/coins at 2.5x, and rest on 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x and 100x of my initial buy price.

For me the two I like from your list is Chainlink and Kyber, both have not release their full potential and they are both going to be a big hit in future

a lot of the coins you listed are actually of good potentials, in particular kyber network and chainlink, tenx is good too but I think it's facing more and more competitions, while kyber and chainlink are infrastructure coins.
