Portfolio allocation

[tinopener]

Being new to cypto i'm not sure how my coin allocation should look. My current portfolio allocation is 50% BTC, 35% LTC, 15% ETH does this sound ok?

Such allocation is adequate if you want a more stable portfolio but with limited gains.

What I would do is:

40% BTC
10% ETH
15% Synthetix
15% ATOM
15% Solana
  5% Binance Coin

I bought some Synthetix recently along with Aave, Uniswap and a few other DeFi tokens available on Coinbase.

I bought them because I read people talking about them on the web so took a gamble (with money I can afford to lose) because it could be the next phase of crypto/blockchain.

Thanks for everyone's great advice. I had put more into LTC as i heard there was going to be an impending 'pump'. Might give it a few more days and then move some back into BTC and ETH  

Oh man. Be careful.

I was thinking about the correlation of LTC to BTC and how it might slipstream it, but this last week has completely changed that for me.

These cryptocurrencies are new beasts and are easy to manipulate by whales. Even stocks and commodities can be manipulated by Reddit these days.

My strategy is just to buy little bits of things I like and hold it. When I feel like it.

Don't try and actively rebalance crypto, for that way madness lies.

It’s seems good allocation in my side because your investment going top 10 coins also your money is much safer than other alt coins investment. These three coins are big uptrend right now, holders got huge profit already. You can add BNB i think it’s another gem in the near future, most possibility it’s can be overtake LTC.

In my opinion, it looks okay to me allocating your portfolio and investing it in well-known cryptocurrency but there's a lot of promising coins than those you've selected and have the biggest potential to boom in the future. As long as you don't put all your capital in one specific coin like BTC then you'll be fine.

You have done well by choosing Litecoin and Ethereum to accompany your Bitcoin.
You could increase you BTC at the cost of LTC.

70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH

This is not critical because you can still trade one into the other when the prices are
favourable to increase your BTC amount.

LoL I just read your suggestion about the portfolio allocation. I don't want to be mean, but it will be hard to hold 70% + 30% + 30% of anything whatsoever Please don't advice anyone to hold 130% because that is only possible if that person goes into debt or plays around with leverage.

IMHO, I think your portfolio was good already because all coins that you choose like Btc Ltc and Eth are the top-ranking coins that's why it is a good coin to hold and invest in. And for me, it was already a good choice. anyway, about holding 50% of BTC in the portfolio, will I think there's nothing wrong with it as long as you know what you are doing and because it is your own Portfolio that's why you can do whatever your want.

if I see your allocation is okay for now, I think if you have additional money you can add to the capital to increase your allocated coins. because what we know is that your current portfolio has good potential with 3 coins that are in the top 10 coinmarketcap

Congratulations on your portfolio are well done. We are in a bull market, most cryptocurrencies are increasing in value. As a novice, making an early profit is good. Think about withdrawing some of your capital back to your wallet and plan to make a profit step by step.

You can't be "sure" of anything. I haven't heard of someone who has a crystal ball yet so don't take anyone's word for it.

There is no correct way to build your portfolio, but instead yourself a lot of questions like "Why do I hold 50% in BTC and not in altcoins?" or "Why is my LTC allocation bigger than ETH?". Take responsibility for your allocation, do not try to blame others by following their opinion - just my advice.

I always tell people to put as much as they can into BTC because all other coins depend on it.

There are coins that depend more like forks of bitcoin and ones that depend less like IEOs but in the end it all comes down to if bitcoin is in a bull or bear market. If it's in bear everything else is going to be, so why would you get 100 different coins with different protocols, wallets, dev teams when you can have one and more or less have the same profit?

You can set aside 5% for small caps. 80% of altcoins are likely to pump at least 2X on this bullrun so that's something you can consider. The risk is higher but your portfolio will not be affected too much if the gamble loses.

...You could increase you BTC at the cost of LTC.

70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH

This is 130%

He made so much profit that he lost count

Hello everybody. Better than your own mistakes, losses, or victories and gains, no one can tell you more or less correctly about the distribution of your portfolio. Personally, when I expect a good fall in prices in the cryptocurrency market, I will invest 25% BTC, 25% ETH, and the remaining 50% will invest in new promising projects. Whose set of coins will earn the most - we will see after a certain time.

I believe this are good and for you to have invested in this coins means you must have done some homework to decide which coins to invest on and that is what you need to keep doing, invest on crypto projects based on what you have understand about them and knowing fully well that you have made the right choice for yourself cos some of us will tell you to invest in what they too like.

Could've make more money if OP put more on bitcoin since bitcoin is the biggest gainer in all of the mentioned cryptocurrency by OP. I do agree that OP should take some chunks of his/her portfolio and invest it into other things, diversification in long-term is the best course of action.

Well, it looks like you have the knowledge and have appropriately allocated the funds. It is a very necessary condition to get started in the investment process.

I'm trying my luck with altcoin with a allocation of 50% ETH, 30% BTC, and 10% for $ PYR - A new gaming platform with wide NFT. 10% I save it for rewind, backup. I believe this is a creative allocation to maintain capital and limit deficits.

You could make money even if you just have TRX actually its all just a bit of timing like having dogecoin while the price is just 0.001 and you bought about $1000 of it and wait. Its a matter of waiting still even today. So if you have about $5K worth of ADA today and wait for its smart contract deployment to see where could price go then its a profit gainer.

Having 50% of BTC in a portfolio is good but it depends on how much is the worth of your whole portfolio. If its worth more than $200K then I guess you have more than 1BTC. If you only have $10K worth of your portfolio then you just have 0.09 BTC.

Really depends on your patience and if you find the timing which not a lot of people can do plus you have to wait for a long time. If you are starting, I think that it is better if you just put it all in bitcoin and then when you get a big profit, that's when you diversify your portfolio. Compared to other cryptocurrency, bitcoin shows the biggest growth in a short time.

It's okay and safe, rather than put more money in new altcoin that increase risk I think 50% for bitcoin is okay. But if it's okay for you to take little bit higher risk there some altcoin that already use in big community. People now really like to play game now, so I think altcoin that can be used to buy item in game is promising. I bought altcoin like that and get 100% only in few weeks just by holding it.

[Adar Korin]

If I were choosing three or four assets, then I'd go along the lines of:

Bitcoin 50% - ( ETH / XRP / LTC ) 40% - DOGE 10%

If I had to choose ten cryptos, then:

BTC 1/3rd - ( ETH / XRP / LTC / DOGE ) 2nd third - (( ( newer coins with promise ) + ( some other well establised coin/tokens ) about 50/50 split )) last third

You have done well by choosing Litecoin and Ethereum to accompany your Bitcoin.
You could increase you BTC at the cost of LTC.

70% BTC
30% LTC
30% ETH

So a total of 130%?
But back on OP I think you already made a great choice on your portfolio as a newbie,
I would only suggest to increase your BTC holding and avoid buying some crypto that is only being pumped right now example Dogecoin or some new projects.
Just stick to what you have right now but if you want to add more crypto then buy only the top rated crypto you could use coinmarketcap.com to check them all out.

I think you should post your whole financial portfolio and not just your Crypto portfolio. That way, we can see what your risk appetite is and how your Crypto portfolio should look like.

Example : Let's say you invest like this.. 90% in Banks / 5% in Gold / 5% in Crypto ... then your Crypto investment should be a high risk portfolio, because your main portfolio is low risk. (and visa versa, if you have a high risk main portfolio)
