Topic: What is a good crypto portfolio %? - page 2. (Read 575 times)

All in altcoins? Damn, You have a risky appetite, I hope you at least have top 20 in your portfolio. Bitcoin is a must in any portfolio. I have 80% in Bitcoin, Rest are alts.

Currentlu altcoins are not pumping that hard as it was in 2017. If you open "gainers and losers" table on CMC then you would see a couple altcoins that gained 30% today and that's it. Imagine your chance to pick one of those coins out of thousands of shitcoins that lost their price. And at the same price nothing can guarantee that even decent projects will find enough investors now to make their coin grow in price. Just IMHO but altcoin investing right now is even more unsafe than it ever was.

I am sometimes follow others activities over cryptocurrency market but not always, I always depend over my confident and keep on eye over bitcoin and alt coins market! I always mostly believe over bitcoin then other alt! bitcoin is most dependable then all other cryptos!

There is nothing as good and bad portfolio, people used to go through the market and after research invest on different altcoins. We've got more than 2000 cryptocurrencies available for investment. There are people who are lucky to invest on the last ranked as well over the first and get the best out of the same. Most of the users portfolio will have maximum investment on bitcoin.

marycrazy08, you ask and and you give the answer to your question, altcoins are mostly used for short-term trading, and not for long-term holding. Most of them actually have no real application, they only exist for a reason of pump&dump, or we can say that some smart people can make profit at the expense of some other people.

At the moment altcoins are not follow BTC, as it has been the case so far, but where you lose money? In top 100 altcoins, maybe 10% are in red, others are in green.

For me personally minimum 90% of portfolio is in BTC, and in any other case it should be at least 80%. I do not see any reason for investing in some altcoins, 90% of them will die or lost value in the next few years.

Only bitcoin for now.this is the worst time for altcoins.we dont know if btc continıe to climb up alts will go down, if there will be a cortection, alts will go down as well.stay on bitcoin or use stable coins

I am not campaigning against the altcoins, but definitely investing in altcoins has a high losses and the worst is that in the threads of altcoins there is a great exaggerated optimism, the people in the altcoins thread are observing the prices look at the fall that the price is having and even with these large falls continue to be optimistic in exaggeration, it becomes very annoying. bitcoin is more likely to raise prices in the long run, while most altcoins are more likely to fall too much in price or even disappear in the next 2 years.

look at how altcoins work:

Someone today creates a project called ETH that has smart contracts and altcoin is in great demand.

tomorrow someone else creates your X project and does copy/paste the ETH project and adds some things, so the demand for ETH becomes reduced because of the competition

on another day another person creates another Z project and does copy/paste the ETH project and adds some things, so the demand for ETH becomes reduced because of the competition

And people who buy ETH for the price of 0.1 btc will continue to be optimistic thinking that some day ETH will exceed 0.1btc, because these people do not think that there is already a lot of competition among the altcoins, which makes it very difficult for some altcoins to be single investment option

I have to say in general if you want to continue this bullish trend in a committed manner, and the bitcoin number will be big, if you want a good portfolio

in my opinion the biggest advantage is from the altcoin because if you see it now when the bitcoin price rises the price of the other altcoins will follow. so it's better to stay at 100% altcoin but the altcoin that you choose is a good altcoin like XRP, XLM, EOS and others. but if you want to play safely you can spread them to 50% bitcoin and 50% altcoins.

A good portfolio is 100% Bitcoin.

If you want to speculate on altcoins anyway, Bitmex allows you to long/short them without having to part with your precious Bitcoins. All profits will be paid out in Bitcoin too. Most people trade altcoins to end up with more Bitcoin anyway, so this is quite a convenient platform allowing you to do so, just make sure you don't overshoot using too much leverage. 2x leverage is more than enough.

Diversification is for people not knowing what to invest in. In crypto you have the option to choose between Bitcoin, and, eh, a bunch of crap.

Majority of my funds are in crypto, I sold some of my altcoins before the bitcoin price started increasing. Will buy back some of them once bitcoin price settles at certain point. Still, don't forget to diversify ypur investment.

You should stick to the number one Cryptocurrency and the Father of all coins, And that would be Bitcoin, And should not just hodl Altcoins I should say if you want to get on in this bull trend bitcoin is about to explode and make it another All-time high,

Everyone in the forum knows that if bitcoin increased its price so are other decentralized Altcoins but the biggest percentage should always be bitcoin, Well I think you should sell half of your Altcoins for Bitcoin, But sell Altcoins that have a little percentage and kept the coins that are good for holding.

Yes sir, that's exactly what happened, I mainly invested in altcoins, and now i realized that it is the worst decision. You guys really help me realize this now. I am planning to wait until i get breakeven on some altcoins i invested lately and convert it to BTC and hold it long term instead. Thank you so much sir for sharing.

a "portfolio" that contains only bitcoin as its cryptocurrency simply because all the altcoins that are out there get dumped no matter if bitcoin rises or falls and that happens each time without fault so it is a bad idea to invest in something that is always falling.
the only case where altcoins become good investments is for day traders who have the ability to make profit from the altcoin pumps.

I had the same experience in 2017.
I had good profit from bitcoin and decided to buy some altcoins, hoping to increase my profit.
It was very bad decision.
When the bitcoin started to fall, altcoins lost even more value.
If I left all the funds in bitcoin I would lose much less.
After this experience I invest now only in bitcoin and I sold everything else.
Bitcoin is unstable but other coins are even less predictable

The ideal portfolio really differs from person to person. There's no sort of ideal portfolio allocation that can work well for everyone; as that's for you to decide for yourself.

Completely depends on what the altcoins are and how long are you trading/holding them.

It's just either:
1. You've put your money on total shitcoins.
2. You are super impatient and are just buying in to make a quick buck.

If you want a good portfolio, read up on what institutions are investing in. Generally, they allocate a large percentage to bitcoin, and also put money into other coins in the top five. As always, you must do your own due diligence. I like some other coins within the top 15.

I don't agree with that that the movement of bitcoin affect other altcoins, because if you have been following the market closely you will see that all other altcoins started appreciating in price the movement bitcoin gain stands and start increasing in price, I believe bitcoin price have a great positive influence on the price of all other coins in the market. So if am to share my portfolio then huge percentage will go into bitcoin and I will maintain minimal amount in other altcoins.

Bitcoin is getting stronger again. And as with many years, the movements of Bitcoin put pressure on all the other altcoins. 100% Bitcoin until Bitcoin Stops!

Hey guys, just want to see your idea here. Guys, what is a good portfolio %?

Are you guys following most people are doing? Like 50-75% BTC and rest altcoins?

Mine is all altcoins and losing quite a bit now
