Update on Coins to Watch into 2018 and New Additions

Here is a brief recap of how our coins to watch segments ended for the year. Again, I only work with coins that I view as long term holds. I also detail new additions that I am reviewing below.

Past performance is not an indication of future success - invest responsibly on your own, I am simply diarizing my own coin holdings. I recommend holding all coins offline and never using your real email account or phone number on social platforms such as reddit, steem, twitter etc. Be careful out there.

While the gains have not been as high as could have been achieved with more speculative positions or active day trading, the point of this portfolio is to achieve good gains with positions that are viewed as solid long term holds. I will admit to some consternation about having missed out on a number of coins - crypto is the only place where you can achieve these kinds of gains and feel angry about "missing out" on larger gains.

Past holdings and Strategy:
1.Bitcoin - up over 500% since the $2,500 first post. Continued hold.
2.Ethereum - up over 500% since the $175 first post. Continued hold.
3.Neo - Up over 1,000% since the $7 first post. Continued hold.
4.OMG - up 100% since first post. Continued hold.
5.Ox - up 250% since first post. Continued hold.
5.Metal - down 20% since first post. Continued hold with lowered exposure. Speculative.
6.Airtoken - up 400% since $8million market cap. Hold with a target of $80-200million market cap for exit.
7.Tezos - not yet released. Continued hold.
