Welcome to Update #2 of my cryptocurrency portfolio!
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. So definitely feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments :-)
Current distribution
The cryptocurrencies below make up at least 70% of all the coins that I hold at the moment of writing. They are the ‘Core’ segment of my portfolio as described in my post about the 70% Core / 30% Play Money approach to crypto investing.
Changes since last update
Steem replaced MaidSafeCoin in the Core segment of my portfolio. I didn’t sell my MaidSafeCoin, but moved it to my Play Money segment and set an evaluation date. MaidSafeCoin seems to have relatively low beta (volatility compared to the market) and I still think it is a cool project. However, in the last 2 weeks I’ve read tons of material on Steem and have been quite active on Steemit. This opened my eyes and I now really believe in what we are doing here. That’s why I added it to my portfolio for the long term.
Something else I changed is the exposure to the two big ones, Bitcoin (16% -> 12%) and Ethereum (22% -> 20%). I decreased the exposure for two reasons: (1) the uncertainty around everything that is going to happen with Bitcoin at the end of this month and the beginning of August and (2) I don’t like the instability of Ethereum at the moment. I seems to get in trouble with every big ICO lately.
The rest of my portfolio is still the same :-)
