So you are just basically holding up ETH into your folio or do have even more coins which do have potential? Holding up for years or long term would really requires strong discipline and control which i do see that most people wont able to do such thing specially into those times where we do see profits where temptation to see would be there and thinking up on securing out profits or you would panic sell to cut loss when you see a dumping market. These are the common factors.

As I said before:

90% of my cryptocurrency portfolio is Bitcoin and Ethereum. Those are the market leaders. They cover the most promissory technology, the best teams, over 70% os market share. They are something like the blue-chips.
I didn't buy some smallcap coins to pump 1000% in 2 months and now holding bags and praying.
I only invested what I can afford to lose. I don't wanna lose it, but I am not over-invested. This is very important. I was over-invested once, and could barely sleep. Even believing in the fundamentals, this market volatility is too high and everyone has a limit. I am not in my limit, so I can live with this volatility.

The portfolio you hold seems nice, but you still need a way to protect it when the times are rough. Staying or being invested up to what you can afford to lose is one way to do it, but much more efficient way is to hedge against market volatility via projects like https://marketprotocol.io or something similar.
Long-term objective.
In whatever market you are investing, even on a stock market, if you are on the accumulation phase, or if you are in for the long run, the best thing you can wish for is a bear market.
But if you want to swing trade, if your goal is short-term, that's a different story. I am not a good trader, so I just hodl.

Market is recovering, but many altcoins are not. It's possible that some of them never will.
Few altcoins have survived the long term.

That's why it's important to make a long term portfolio with the market leaders, mostly bitcoin and ethereum. I don't like ripple but it's a good choice for long term too.

As you are going down the coinmarketcap the risk is higher. That's why people who invest (and even overinvestment sometimes) in those coins and get worried.
