Dilemma of growing a portfolio

[Dust Farmer]

The last few days has been pretty interesting to say the least with the couple tokens TRUMP and MELANIA putting a smile on the faces of thousands of people around the world and spelling a new era for cryptocurrency...potentially. Either way, that's why I've been thinking of how to build my portfolio or rather expand in it further.

I've seen two tokens that have piqued my interest but still need some research, WEETH and USDE, mainly because I saw a way I can capitalize on by holding both tokens. Still, the other tokens I can consider adding to my portfolio have been pretty elusive so hence my post. What do you guys recommend I should look into and what do you think about the two tokens I chose.

The problem with that altcoins is that they are vaporware.

They are worthless. This is basically a casino, you are gambling and the house always wins.

 You can make money, but it is very likely that you will lose.

Personally, i try only to invest in projects which I understand the fundamentals.... This is why I got into bitcoin and ethereum in the first place, in 2017

Meme coins can evaporate anytime, not just meme coins, but most altcoins now, especially the new ones that are just created by the owners to make money for themselves. Take note that Trump also holds 80% of this $Trump token, so that tells you how dangerous it is to hold a meme coin like this.

I have read for WEETH coin and it represents the ease of enjoying DeFi services, the price is the same as ETH... so if the holding you mean is for long-term purposes, why not just choose ETH which has been proven to be safer and even more trusted than similar tokens with similar prices but not as popular as ETH...

Then for USDE if I am not mistaken, it is the Ethena USD token... and I still categorize it as a stable coin on the Ethereum Blockchain network with the name synthetic dollar... holding stable coins will not provide benefits either in the short or long term... usually holding stable coins is only for the purpose of securing assets from cryptocurrency volatility....

If you want to invest in ETH, then invest in ETH itself (not in it's weird versions like WEETH), regarding USDE — how can you grow portfolio with stablecoin? Anyhow, if I were to choose stablecoin, I would stick with old and trusted stablecoins like usdc/t.

Weeth is the wrapped token of eEth, from Etherfi
You'll need wrapped tokens to use in DeFi, like lending and borrow or stake

The benefits of use eEth is to focus on the airdrop, or the rewards of a lst can provide to you, I suggest to read more about here: https://www.ether.fi/

If the goal is only investment, I don't think eEth is that attractive, but if you want to use ETH more widely and get rewards beyond simply holding the coin, it could be very interesting.
I just suggest doing more research to understand what this token is all about

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask here

The $Trump token is making waves right now and the hypes are increasing everyday, I’ve had a few persons really encouraging me to get the token, telling me about how potential the token is and how so many investors have actually bought the token, but my answer was still the same and will still be the same, I don’t trust any coin that’s not Bitcoin, and I’ve decided already never to buy them, we’ll except I have a very good reason that’ll change my mind in subsequent time, but as it stands now??? My mind is still very much made up.

Lol, are you sure it is making waves, yeah there was a huge pump when it was launched, but after then, it has been going downwards. If you ask me, i think the hype is slowly dying down and i can't see what can take it up again, since meme coins have no utility.

It is good that you have no intentions of buying this coin. Anyone buying this meme coin right now is making a big mistake, those who bought early may have made profit, but that is all over, those coming later are going to lose money because the hype is gone.

Isn't that USDE is a stable coin? If so, the point of holding it is to buy more coins that has your interest and it is a way to keep your profit secure by putting it in there. Are you talking about WETH instead of WEETH? If it's the former then that's just another wrapped token thats' pegged on ethereum and I think it's fine to have it especially if you are too active swapping and adding liquidity to new projects that requires it.

Looks easily for meme coins such as Trump and Melenia reach higher price when first time launching to the public, I don't know how crazy the investor buy that coins and many of them earn much profitable. But have bad unique happening yesterday when some one launching new coins from Donald Trump's son Baron coins, its fake and scam coins the scammer have reach million dollar from many people easily got scam after investing that fake coins.
For next time be careful when investing with public figure coins, see its tweet at their twitter official account or not because scare many scammer use public figure name for their coins.

And I keep wondering why people keep falling for an obvious scam like this one over and over again, I can’t be able to count how many times such a coin have come and gone, all with basically same exact results, and yet people still fail to realize that tokens are fueled by hype and once hype is over, everything is gone and those who join thereafter end up holding the bag. And the fact that the project developers holds majority of the token is still a total red flag that they’ve also chosen to ignore, and I keep wondering why this same trick works on people all the time.

Won't WEETH be depegged too? There are time where their value delivers a lot from the real ETH like the wrapped BTC and wrapped ETH. You must be asking yourself whether its profit in the defi platform is worth it while you keep worrying.

I have also invest in Defi platform for awhile but things are getting crazy because of defi platform not so known.
It's all up to you but my impression to defi is not solid anymore.

[TomPluz]

I understand that you are talking about Wrapped Eth (WEETH) which value and price is of course pegged to Eth, naturally, then USDe must be another stablecoin under the Ethena protocol. Now, since I can sense that you are hinting of using these two for earning opportunity...are you thinking of staking or farming them to gain more coins? I would assumed that you are already a learned crypto investor and holder so telling you to be careful and to be wary of risk is quite necessary. Good luck and I am wishing you great success for your portfolio in 2025.

You'll have a dilemma if your portfolio consists of shitcoin or pump and dump coins or tokens as your majority. its better to have a mix of coins and tokens, but it should largely consist of coins or tokens that have proven their worth in the market, like Bitcoin.
If you want to engage in investing on memes, a good percentage is 25% of your portfolio considering how risky it is now where its only a matter of days before we see meme coin being pumping then dumped into the market.

[Stuart]

A portfolio that will find difficulty in growing or making good profits is one filled with bunch of shit coins/tokens that are on the pump and dump scheme. It is a right thing to maintain a healthy coin holdings in one's portfolio to avoid a continuous decline it value.
Bitcoin has attained it's Trust over the internet and crypto space, and lots of the top altcoins on CMC ranking.

Meme coins that will be profitable to their investors or traders on their early listing are those who entered the trade as early birds, and they will secure tons of profits, having traded with the uptrend flow.
