Risk

[TinaK]

BTC is considered the safest (grain of salt here because crypto is still incredibly volatile).

So I think something conservative portfolio would be maybe 80 BTC/15 ETH/5 DIVI (BTC/ETH/altcoin of your choosing).

If I want a more aggressive portfolio, I need to lower BTC holding, up ETH a little, and up your third coin? Is it a good plan?
With about a grand in USD to gamble. I probably don’t want to spread myself much thinner than 3 coins of course.

The current crypto market is little bleeding in BTC & ETH because we still stay in a red zone and we know this is not a huge drawback But stay In a negative line. So my suggestion is we must active in current traffic and BTC is a long term potential platform and ETH is better investment in other altcoins. I hope DIVI is not good for long term so must maintain the activity and plan to move on another potential platform.

Are altcoins a risky business or a real way to make money?

Both, Altcoins are a real way to make money where the work is always risky when done, meaning that you will get more money if you know how it works and always prioritize good analysis for initial reference.

every risk is there in everything, if you invest in CRypto you must be ready to accept the fact that the coins you have have experienced a very sharp drop in price,
for me to invest now in BTC and ETH it might be too late ifyou  accept the risk that's okay
if the defi  project promises profit what's wrong with you reducing the stock of one of your main coins btc or ETH that you reduce, and I see the Defi project is also very promising

Why would you lower the bitcoin holding an increase your ETH, it is not aggressive portfolio. It is kind of a foolish scenario you are anticipating as both the coins are in new price range for the first time and you think that ETH have the potential to rally further while bitcoin has reached its limit. I would book my profit and convert them in Euro or Dollar and wait for a correction rather than doing anything silly.

It looks good to me.
Better to diversify it a small group only that way you won't have a difficult time monitoring them.
Perhaps when you find yourself making profits out of those coins then you could widen the amount of tokens you will invest with.
Stick to the plan first while going deep research for another token that you want to keep your eye on.

Yes you are right Bitcoin is the safest among all cryptocurrencies but apart from Bitcoin Ethereum & Binance are also showing their tremendous presence in the crypto market. Btc & Ethereum is good in your portfolio but I have not heard much about DIVI If you consider my advice I will suggest you add Binance to your portfolio but do diligence before investing in BNB coin.

Now isn't a good time to invest but a good time to take profit, what you are planning to do is high risk and only you can give the go ahead not anyone else, as you can see there is panick mode activated since yesterday and people are selling their coins, the choice of taking risk or not is all on you, follow your heart

I agree with you. Since February 21 when BTC BTC hits its ATH yet and stated down ward trend, I believe major players are definitely taking profits which is also the aim for most that invested earlier and as it is with crypto, some people will still be buy because if there are no buyers, who will the sellers sell to?

Yeah, so there will still be investors regardless of the price at any point even though we all know taking profits might seems to be the option now but if we remember, people invested in Bitcoin at ATH of 2017 so that will continue to happen in the crypto market.

I think its time to add BNB into our portfolio and can lower eth to get more risky investment portfolio. I would avoid any other new projects wven defi which is kind of profitable only for presale investors who sell at the right time and all others will be waiting for longer time period of met huge loss while selling.

In my opinion it such a logic move and rational if you want to build more aggressive portfolio, but for me its better to spare some of your portfolio with stable coin to buyback incase some of your coin dumped.

I think this is a good plan. If you want to make a more aggressive portfolio I think selling some BTCs into alt coins is a good move. At the moment with BTC being around 50,000 USD it is hard to see another 100% rally to 100,000 USD in a few weeks. So taking a profit in BTC and switching to higher risk crypto coins could be a good idea.

Going back into FIAT is not the best idea at the moment, there is still a lot of upside potential is the crypto world.

I'm not familiar with DIVI, as I checked its market, it's trading is not that good compared to the others coins you have stated.

I think be more careful with low volume altcoins especially that it has already dump from its high, that's really a high risk investing on it, don't put too much exposure of your money in high risk asset.

IMHO, I believe that the three-coin portfolio is already good. But if you have still available funds to buy it's better to make it a five-coin portfolio, And just make sure that those coins are stable and for the better choose those top-ranking cryptocurrencies in the market. BTC, ETH, XLM, DOT, and BNB I'm holding three of those coins. except for ETH and BTC which is I think too expensive for me to afford.

Diversifying just for diversification sake is useless in this market, most coins are heavy correlated to bitcoin so there is no point in diversifying your portfolio, the only valid reason to select an altcoin over bitcoin is if you have very strong reasons to believe the coin has strong fundamentals that can make it grow very rapidly during the next months and years, since altcoins have lower market caps then they can go up faster than bitcoin if you happen to select the right coin, but if this is not the case it is better to just stick to bitcoin.

all crypto assets carry risk. even if you invest in BTC. investing without knowledge will waste your money. study assets, projects, products, and markets. when you are really ready to invest then come back with your knowledge. it can save you.
there is no problem with the assets you mention. the problem is when you don't have the right moment.

[virasisog]

BTC is the same as other altcoins out there, they have the same risk.  Some altcoins grow exponentially more than BTC growth, especially new projects, however, the risk it brings is higher too especially when a project is hyped. I'd say keep 50% of your portfolio on BTC and try to explore some altcoins if you are willing to take the risk. Keeping the majority of your funds on BTC especially when Alt season starts will make you lose a lot of opportunities. I'd rather diversify my funds than keeping them in one basket.

[cabron]

Would adding ADA to your portfolio become aggressive?

I think so, its price still is very low if you look at how much has to be developed to their roadmap. And every milestone of the project could be a catalyst of its price to move up and right now, its already in the 3rd position of the coinmarketcap. Its one aggressive coin to follow.

As of the moment the price value of Bitcoin are now little by little resuming its price to 58k$ something.
Though, the price was too volatile and unpredictable so the better way for us to do with our Bitcoin hold is
continue to hold more, so that we can avoid risk anyhow when We do trade in the exchange site platform.

Just pick on what you do able to see in top rank 20 coins in the entire market and since you do only recognized 3 coins at a time then its up to your which
one do suits out your criteria.I do see that you do have 80 btc and thats almost 4 million usd which it isnt really that bad to allocate 1M usd on each altcoin
you would choose up neither you do end up on having 4 coins at all including BTC but hey, it would be better if you do put up safely in btc with 2m or in 40 BTC manner
and the rest will be allocated to alts.

If you wanna do safety investment, just invest your money in top 15 coins, don't go overboard,
but if you wanna take a risk, you can pick another coin that still cheap, and have a good project so they can rise in the future..
so that's your choice at all

Even such a measure is not going to save you, there have been many examples of scam coins making it that high, the biggest example of this is bitconnect which scammed their customers for a lot of money and they even tried to make a comeback that at the end amounted to nothing, you cannot just invest blindly in any coin regardless of its size, you need to look at how sound the concept of the coin really is and if you find it not strong enough then you should not invest in it regardless of how big is the coin.
