I noticed you aren't holding any Ripple, a lot of my friends who have just gotten into cryptos are real excited about it, but I think any coin that isn't decentralized, or even has fees for that matter is destined to be surpassed by something like Steem, which is completely free and pretty much instant.

Ripple isn't much of a crypto.. lol.
Btw Steem's transaction fee is completely free, but it remains that it's not a free platform, meaning that the market's paying for the platform's operation one way or another..

A good way to make your choice consider these things
Platform viability
Developer activity
Communty avtivity (is the community active and using the platform)
Your budget (i suggest spending on 2% of your holdings on an investment till you feel good)
Whitepaper
Exchange listings (is it easy to buy, does it have good volume?)
ALWAYS BUY DURING A DIP NOT WHEN ITS RUNNING UP YOU WILL BE MAD
There are many other criteria you can us but these will at least help you get started and build up your understanding of the cryptoverse

That's a pretty sick portfolio @kevinwong. I am 100% on board with the steem argument. Like it's a coin, that already has a working product, and you can actually use it and do meaningful stuff with it. If that doesn't sound like x10 safer than all the "whitepaper investments" I don't know what does.

pbgreenpoint (68) · 7 years ago

Solid picks you have. I like your "majority" holdings. Steem should continue to rise. XRB had a nice correction today but is already climbing, SUB should be solid- hopefully their testing goes well this month, LSK should rise up until Feb 20th when they have their rebranding/meet up, and I think BTC should be legging up for its next rise. I'm expecting $20K BTC in the near future. Good luck!

lordneroo (72) · 7 years ago (edited)

@kevinwong I see you! Great choices! I hold 30 or more different cryptos as well and I can totally understand why you prefer altcoins!

By the way I totally agree with holding BNB and KCS! I believe it is a really smart move to hold those exchanges' coins right now! Especially KCS, the KuCoin platform pay 50% of their total transaction fees revenue to KCS holders.

Other coins that we have in common are CVC, BTC, Steem (of course!) and a few others.

I did notice that we have some differences too - mainly OmiseGo. I am in all of my investments for long term holds, but there are a few other coins that I will be talking about in the coming weeks that I will definitely be getting involved with. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great content!

@kevinwong, Such a greatest update and you giving some message to the community from this post. Its Barely any of the current top 10 coins its always doing drop and rise. So we cannot predict what's the movement or what's the better investment coins. Look at crypto movement from coinmarketcap. We can seems every 01 minutes its changing.

What crypto coin exchange do you like? I tried to sign up for Polonex but they wanted my Social Security number.... one of the reasons why I like crypto currencies is privacy. I have been working to build a local group of investors so we can trade in person without an exchange. Have you ever traded with a friend?

kevinwong (76) · 7 years ago

Which is why 0x seems cool. Most of the exchanges don't require any ident if you're not dealing with fiat, or under an amount like 1 or 2 btc. Nope, barely trade. I usually just get and hold them in private wallet.

Do you think the coin will Crash?

Thanks in Advance for your time! :)

kevinwong (76) · 7 years ago (edited)

I've only bought one btc before, a few years ago. Rest mined back in 2009 just for fun. Hmm I'm not a big fan of btc atm, it's getting a bit ridiculous with the transaction fees. If anything, I just use it as a gateway to cashout. That's about it.. but sure, some hedge on btc is advisable i guess since it's the biggest one right now. Nothing stays forever though, unless it can adapt and evolve

$0.00

thegoliath (66) · 7 years ago

That's a lot of coins you have, but managing to get a bunch of them earlier or mid range, before a big rise definitely helps. I have been lucky to have gotten more due to the SBD price when it hit over $10, it has allowed me to invest in more coins and buy many of that coin.

It's pretty crazy to see how quickly a coin can quickly explode, Steem for example with that rise to $8 in 1-2 days, from $3. But it's very helpful for Steemit at least which is great.

kevinwong (76) · 7 years ago (edited)

Accessibility has made volume of attention much greater in crypto markets, which is why it's enough to move markets even if 1% of the people tuning in get their fair share of FOMO for whichever coin.. that plus market-makers moving up the slider..

positivesteem (70) · 7 years ago

Glad to see that Steem is on top. In fact at the moment, Steem is the only crypto that I hold. Like you, I feel that Steem has much potential.

vm2904 (64) · 7 years ago

@kevinwong - Given the recent hiccups on BTC with the transaction time and fees, BTC is becoming more like and investment rather than a currency. Many people, therefore, are jumping in - while in the short term, the price may be driven up because of this, my feeling is it will become like Gold and Real estate soon - a money parking instrument. The Altcoins (the ones with sound business ideas attached) will be used more and will grow faster I am a newcomer to crypto world but logic dictates this to me. I think your portfolio partly reflects this change too.

That is a long list of Altcoins. May I ask if you only HODL for a long time - I mean, when do you decide if the coin was a bad investment and sell or sell some for profit after a good run? Do you do that on a case by case basis or do you have generic targets in mind like "sell half after X% rise in price" etc.

Thanks for sharing the details for portfolio for such insight. Upvoted

Regards,

@vm2904

This relates to cryptocurrencies, so stay with me on this. I consider myself a video game history buff. The history of gaming consoles fascinates me because the best technology doesn't always win. I love nintento but the hardware for turbografx 16 was far superior, but it didn't matter because the people adopted the NES. There are other examples of this, the point being the best tech doesn't always get adopted. Is there any thing you look for that says "I think people will adopt this?" Or is it just too hard to tell and that's why you diversify?

kevinwong (76) · 7 years ago

Yeah in regards to stuff like VHS vs Betamax and the analogy you've put forth, tech != value. But I think with social media and just free and open information these days might inch tech == value better. Kinda hard to define what's good tech though. I just look for whatever is low-barrier and not overly-designed just to fit their hypothesis of what consumer behaviour should be.
