I chose to play it safe with my portfolio, and only invest with the strongest cryptocurrencies with the most use cases. Bitcoin was an obvious first choice. It is universally accepted, and if there is any coin that might be used for buying something online, or purchasing another crypto, it is Bitcoin. It is also the one that leads all altcoins, and the one that grows strongest.
Apart from BTC, which takes half of the total investment — I also invested 20% into Ethereum. ETH is the second-largest (and most important) coin. However, while it is unlikely that Bitcoin will ever be replaced, many do expect that it happens to ETH. Ethereum killer is already expected to emerge from one of the current development platform-type projects, which is why ETH only gets 20%. I believe it is still the leading platform, but it might not be forever.
Finally, I have decided to invest 15% into BCH and LTC each. The two are the most well-known and well-accepted coins apart from BTC and ETH themselves. They are listed on most exchanges, they are sought after, and they are easy to sell should the opportunity arises. I believe that Bitcoin and these three altcoins have the best chance to survive in the crypto market, and deliver a great profit, especially in the long term. And, even if Ethereum does get overthrown by another project, it is not going to just go away, as its network would remain extremely useful and popular.
