Alright, here we go! This is the first post about my cryptocurrency portfolio and I will be posting updates regularly. The main goal of these updates is to spark a discussion on what might be the ideal coin distribution within a strategic long-term portfolio. Next to that, it’s for personal documenting purposes ;-)
The cryptocurrencies you see make up at least 70% of all the coins that I hold at the moment of writing. They represent the ‘Core’ segment of my portfolio as described in my post about my 70% Core / 30% Play Money approach. I continuously research other cryptocurrencies and try to keep up with the developments around the cryptocurrencies I hold. Based on the information I have I adjust the distribution of the coins in my portfolio.
Let’s cut to the chase. This is the current distribution of coins that I intend to hold for the long-term:
As you might notice, these are ten cryptocurrencies with very different tech and different focus. Some aim for the fastest and cheapest transactions, while others are projects around shared computer power/storage or platforms for dapps or ICOs. A healthy mix to minimize volatility and simultaneously bet on multiple possible winners :-)
The most recent addition to my core portfolio is AntShares (soon to be NEO), which took the spot of Zcash (ZEC). Currently I do research on Steemit (I do have a few STEEM) and I am taking a look into Ark (ARK).
I am curious about your thoughts, so please let me know what you think. Are there similarities with your portfolio? What surprises you or do you think is a strange choice?
