🚀 What Cryptos do YOU Own? 🚀 January, 31st

in #bitcoin6 years ago (edited)

🚀 Every week, I decided to update the different cryptocurrencies I own and would like to ask you which one do you believe in the most in your respective wallet. 🚀

This is the 19th weekly: "What cryptos do You own?"

  • As I work in finance, Stock Markets polls are very useful for fund managers to understand what investors own because they currently like it and what they do not.
  • Usually, in the Stock Market, it is not very good to own a stock that everybody owns; it means that most investors bought it already and therefore, future demand will be low.
  • Whereas understanding which one are under owned is very useful in case a positive news is released on the stock. Since a few investors own it, they will rush to buy some and the price will increase significantly.

My current portfolio and reasons why I own these cryptos:


This has been a very tough week and I had to close my leveraged EOS position after this correction.

Cryptocurrencies that I used to own

  • Steem: If you read this, you know why. I am still mad that I did not buy more at <1$
  • Eosio (EOS): I believe in Dan Larimer; he already developped 2 great projects (Steem and Bitshares) and as the Co-founder of Steemit on @SGTReport said about Dan larimer and its EOS ICO: “The people who say that there is no product yet, Dan has built 2 of them if they think he’s not gonna build the 3rd one, they’re crazy. This is the one he always wanted. The other 2 were just helping him get there”. EOS is showing some nice upward trend recently. I can see some “Whales” are stacking them. New-York Meeting coming up with I hope some Big News !
  • Ethereum (ETH): In my opinion, it has been the most exciting project in cryptos so far. This project has been copied or inspire many other hot cryptos (NEO, EOS...). Devon3 gathering brought a lot of visibility on Ethereum's next improvements especially on the scalability issue.
  • Siacoin (SC): Siacoin is a solution that allow companies to use storage in a decentralize on Siacoin network. “Miners” are renting their storage capacity. It is 5-10x less expensive than with traditional companies as Amazon Web Services, Google, etc…
  • STORJ: Same business plan as Siacoin, smaller Market Capitalisation and recently the company announced that it “froze” some of its tokens as they will not need it in the next 6months+ to finance the development of the platform. This is a good sign as it tells us the team is feeling confident to have “all it needs” to deliver what the market expects.
  • Golem (GNT): It is a cryptocurrency allowing you to use the calculating power of the computers connected to its blockchain network. This is useful for companies looking to rent some calculating power for a project, etc…

Cryptocurrencies that I used to own

  • Mysterium (MYST): * The company is developing a Blockchain VPN. As China is trying to implement its Great Internet Wall before 2018, this would block VPN based technology. This project could offer a solution to Chinese and even other people to have more privacy while browsing through the internet
  • Basic Attention Token (BAT): It radically improves the efficiency of digital advertising by creating a BAT coin that can be exchanged between publishers, advertisers, and users.
  • Augur (REP): I just like the prediction market project. They have a good team of developers and seem to work very hard on this project. And last but not least but they keep you updated on a weekly basis and were at Devcon3 recently.
  • Ripple (XRP): Signed most of the TOP50 banks and is runned very professionally. It is working with Chinese partners on many projects.
  • Stratis (STRAT): Stratis offers full service capabilities for the development, deployment and management of blockchain applications and solutions utilizing C#.Stratis tries to make it easier for companies, organisations or other entities to develop a blockchain app.
  • Ethereum Classic (ETC): I think it is undervalued, dapps and other projects are using it as the Ethereum network is getting crowded.

My Portfolio on January, 24th

I am long Altcoins and still not interested by BTC

Bitcoin was the first Crypto, but… I always preferred Altcoins (EOS, SC, GLM, XRP, REP…).

Finally, What crypto should I look into at the moment?

Last update

And you, What do YOU own?

Please remember this is my personal opinion and not a financial/investment advice. You need to do your own research to make your own decision. Investing in cryptocurrencies can lead to financial losses.

In my opinion, Vechain and Neo are a must for anyone looking for exposure to the Chinese blockchain space. Historically, China has blocked foreign companies to benefit their own domestic firms, and I believe projects like Vechain and Neo will be given lots of support within China.

I am heavily invested in Steem, ICON, Neo, DBC, Power Ledger, VeChain and Walton.

Great post! And I love your explanations, not often you see people explain why they own coins :)
Below is my current portfolio of "tradeable" coins, these do not include a little ETH, LTC, and XRP that I am holding in a cold wallet for long-term!
Just because I don't have too much time right now - I can't explain why I own all of these coins. However, not many people know about AURA and I think it is going to be excellent.
AURA is the staking coin for the developing Snow Globe blockchain which is homegrown and will house the IDEX exchange when it is ready (IDEX will move off of Ethereum). Excellent team, and IDEX is kicking ass! You can see a direct correlation between decreasing EtherDelta volume and increasing IDEX volume - it is a pleasure to use :)

I recently reduced my portfolio to just EOS and STEEM.
Why? One is the future of the social web and the other is the future OS of web 3.0 (and covering all the rest, apps etc) - I realized, that there is no valid reason for me to own any other coin at the moment.
Since I don´t believe in the "currency" part of crypto (as in: you pay for offline goods and services with digital currency), I don´t have any need to invest in something different.

What do you think about KIN Project?

Sorry for the lazy reply but it was so much easier to just take a snip and post that. I bought SC at about 24 sold loads to buy steem at 400 odd. Think I'll sell some of my XMR for the SC as I have a miner working on XMR. It will help me build up the SC reserve.

I also lend any lend-able coins on poloniex too so they are earning at the same time. Not huge apr but better than the banks!

Nice post too BTW, good detail and easy to read.

Oh, where can you buy eos? Not offered on Poloniex...

Very interesting pportfolio and informations. It is quite similar to my crypto portfolio.

Sneaky Ninja Attack! You have been defended with a 7.15% vote... I was summoned by @vlemon! I have done their bidding and now I will vanish...Whoosh

Thank you vlemon for making a transfer to me for an upvote of 3.84% on this post!

Half of your bid goes to @budgets which funds growth projects for Steem like our top 25 posts on Steem!

The other half helps holders of Steem power earn about 60% APR on a delegation to me!

For help, will you please visit https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/ because I check my discord server daily?

To learn more about Steem, will you please use http://steem.guide/ because this URL forwards to my most recently updated complete Steem tutorial?

Well, I have mentioned my hodlings before, but I'm not sure I mentioned I am/was heavy into AriseBank. Now, THAT story that is unfolding is worthy of having a large bowl of popcorn as it has lots of twists and turns. It is totally facinating me.
