Hello guys, having been here for a while now, I feel that having a higher percentage of your portfolio on bitcoin and maybe the rest 30 or 35% on already good and established altcoins like ETH, BCH, Stellar, brave. BNB, Vchain, etc, is a good way of staying away from useless projects. I have come to an understanding that running after new promising projects always leave you heartbroken in 97times, and running after IEO to quickly make up for past losses lead to more havoc on your fund. So stick to the safe zone.
I do not support BNB as it is exchange coin, but still the choice is yours. I am not going to exaggerate this theme because there are many people who think the opposite. Anyway, if you do not want to take too much risk in the weak altcoins, your choices are good. Another factor that will make your portfolio more sexy is that you allocate big percentage to BTC.

I agree with you. After spending a lot of time in crypto and getting experience here, I also realized that the most important thing is to have bitcoin in the portfolio and only the most important altcoins. But most of the deposit should be in bitcoin.
That's worked for a long time ago as bitcoin is one of the coin that can become the safe place. It will not so good as stable coin in term to secure our profit but about the guarantee of the value and bitcoin can bring it even more than stable coin. Some people are using it as a safe zone right now and i have a lot of bitcoin as my portfolios to make sure i just wanna try to minimize the risk because im also investing on altcoin.It's really important these days especially the inflation of bitcoin will become less and less.

Not realling changing your mind, just offering a different view,
I believve when it comes to investment, you don't stick your balls into several baskets.
Regarding upcoming altcoins, i can say tokoin, harmony and perhaps even Sero has done relatively well, If anyone has complaints about such i would say they do not understand how trading of crypto currency works..
When we mention ieo, it was a lot of success for both investors and even bounty hunters, Just that it depends on each investor realizing and identifying why and the need to join an ieo.
Without those details clarified, then it could turn out to be something else
In crypto currency, you do research daily, daily, daily and learn daily.
This conclusion could be reached even before the start of the popularity of IEO, that is, at the dawn of the popularity of ICO. Any new project is a risk, a risk primarily for the project itself, for the project team. After all, not everyone is able to enter the market and gain a foothold in it. And taking into account what the market was like at the beginning of 2019, it becomes obvious how reckless it was to rely on profits from new projects.
I like your thinking and i also try to do the same but the fact which cannot be denied is that if you found a good project you should take the risk and invest as early as possible, never forget that bitcoin's initial price was only 0.01$ while Eth was sold for 0.70$ only. So early birds always take the worms.

Definitely.
Especially in bearish market conditions, the effects of a bad project on the investor is infinitely magnified due to the fact that essentially there is no secondary market demand for these tokens, whether they're from ICO or IEO alike.
Diversification will hedge against idiosyncratic risks like these. But at the end of the day, you need to believe that the direction of the general crypto markets is heading north. Also, even some established alts can be potentially a ticking time bomb due to incompetent developers and/or unrealistic goals.
Depends on your risk factor. There are many investors and traders who take risks on making more profits by investing in IEOs or investing early in a project. I agree that there is a higher chance of losing your money or making a loss but it's worth taking for projects which do have some potential.
To me its always a bad idea to buy new coins because they will surely face some disasters just like how bitcoin did in its early days, if you watch the old days chart you will see that bitcoin drops from 40$ to 2$, every new coins will pass the saw until they get stronger
The problem with these altcoins compared to bitcoin in the early days, while bitcoin gone down from $40 to $2 it could back up and get pumped to another new level of ATH meanwhile all these shitcoins once got dumped will become worthless forever. Although for some people that aren't really good at trading or bad at managing their emotion this kind of price rollercoaster could get them losing.
There is no safe zone, unfortunately. Even if the good projects stay at the high prices, the total market cap heads down in the uncertain market conditions. The stated altcoins have a good return on the investment but buying the all and diversification is meaningless if there is no update about the bull market.
So stick to the safe zone.
Bitcoin is the only "safe zone", the coins that you named are just shitcoins that are dying slower than blatant scams, but they are still dying - they don't see much real world use, they don't make large improvements to their protocol, many of them are based on completely flawed fundamentals, like Bcash with their big blocks. Ethereum will likely live the longest, so in some sense it's "safe", but it doesn't mean that it's a great long term investment.
The top ranked reliable altcoins have always been the most chosen. They are more convenient in terms of security. That is why I support your choices. Also, keep in mind that you can also divide 5% of the investment into altcoins with a low market cap. Because you know there are also better ones among them.
brave
It must be bat you want to say. 
BCH, Vchain, etc is not a safe zone. I don’t understand why you think so? if your portfolio is filled only with these coins, then you already saw what kind of losses they can bring to you. or the volatility of your portfolio is also very high. I think this is a very dangerous trap. people think these coins are good but later they will cry.
I started to know crypto, my portfolio of bitcoin is always the biggest, because this is the mother and who controls everything. many people say if you want to get rich quick then what you have to do is buy Altcoin, and yeah that's right. But the risk of loss is also quite large. one's strategy of making investment allocations is certainly different, but on average someone tends to allocate to the most Bitcoin. for now I prefer coins that are on the market, ICO/IEO and the like today are mostly bullshit or not promising, but if the project appeals to me maybe I only spend 4-7% of my total investment allocation.
I was frustrated as well and i end up selling many shitcoins for bitcoin and i blamed myself not doing this since all this while, many altcoins have no future and i don't tend on risking it, i only leave few good altcoins in my wallet
I have already reduced my portfolio for a long time and poured all unnecessary coins into Bitcoin because at the moment it is the strongest currency with a good and developing infrastructure.

Not all will go to this kind of technique as I know that you already that the more riskier your investment is the bigger ROI you will get and most of the investors that have the gut to gamble in this kind of investment will surely oppose your opinion. But for the newbies or those people who don't know how to dig some good projects then it will be best that you should follow what OP has said so you can avoid in being a victim to those bad projects out there.

That ratio of btc/alts seems fine to me. This is a market of high volatility and nothing is safe in a normal sense but i think some hand picked high marketcap coins will be lot safer then low marketcap coins. They are low marketcap for a reason. And while there will be time to gamble with some of them too, but this doesn't seem to be right time for it.

Yeah, it could work, majority of your investment should be in BTC and then the rest some on altcoins that is more established already so that the risk of losing is very low. Because of the worsening market conditions, investing on IEO or even ICO are very risky indeed. That is why majority of conservative investors today are simply putting their hard earn money in BTC so that they are in the safe zone. Nothing is wrong with that, actually this is what majority of smart investors are doing right now.
