How To Build A Great Crypto Portfolio

[Fivestar4everMVP]

It's simple but requires good discipline,

To build a great crypto portfolio, first is to have some coin(s) you are hodling and not trading, this way, you don’t miss out on the big gains that come with hodling, we all can agree that hodling has made more people richer than trading.
Let's make us of an example, Let’s say, Jane has $100, she can put $50 on some great projects and hold for long, then trade with the remaining $50 and invest her profits in her portfolio, that way, she has a fixed asset and a working capital that she is using to build her portfolio.

On the other hand, there are those who don't actively trade, if you fall under this category, you can however just invest all your money in those good projects and wait for the set time, if you are not wired to actively trade, like myself.

Have a great day and I hope this little tip helps someone out there build that type of portfolio we all see and admire.

I fall in the HODLING category.

I like doing both before but I can consider myself a failed trader. I'm better at holding it and I've got more patience this time after seeing how the market has gone through all of these years.

And if someone is still looking for some tips on how to build their portfolios. You don't have to own a lot of cryptocurrencies for you to be said that you have a great portfolio.

Even you own bitcoin alone is already good enough and if you really like to add some altcoins then adding a few altcoins will do it and sufficient depending on what altcoin is that.

Just a tip for newbs who might read this in the future.

You don't necessarily have to diversify your crypto portfolio by investing in other cryptocurrencies. Having 80-90% of BTC allocation in my opinion, is enough since most of the time altcoins usually follows BTC in price which can be use as a perfect hedge against altcoins.

Diversifying on the other hand, isn't confined to crypto; in fact, it shouldn't be a limiting belief that diversifying is applicable only with altcoins. You can put your money in stocks, real estate or any other precious metals rather than putting your resources to altcoins.

So.. the summary is pretty much "How to build a great crypto portfolio: just buy good coins to hold for the long term" and separate holdings from trading.

I could barely call that a "tip".

I agree with the approach which is the best.

Because so little people are simply investors or traders. They are mixed between being an investor and a trader so if they don't have good approach and management for their capital, they will not know which capital part is for trading, and which one is for investment. Time goes and they change from investor to trader or from trader to investor.

It is bad in terms of capital manangement and hodl will help you rich, not trading. So it is very bad if you already choose good projects to hold but fail to hold them in the end and fall into trading. Trading mostly will cause loses or you will exit with minor profit and you will miss exponential growths from good projects.

My issue is the risk involved; the suggestions presented are clear enough, but how can I tell if this project is worthwhile and worth investing in as a beginner? Because some projects generate a lot of hype, but the hype fades after a while, and investors lose money.
Could you please tell us the fundamental information we need to know about a project in order to determine whether it is worth investing in?

[GEMIN_M4]

At this point in this having portfolio of altcoins is not making sense anymore, in bear market or dips it's better to buy BTC and ETH only then wait for bull season, if bull season is up and running then look for ALTs that haven't surge and buy with small amount of cash, the reason why I said this is because many ALTs will die in bear market but BTC and ETH will always live.

Bitcoin and ethereum will always create a great crypto portfolio because they have high demands in the market and so their value never stops growing. Unlike with some unestablished altcoins, we can never rely from them since their use cases don't appeal to last in the market. And so their value are expected to stay low most of the time. However, having bitcoin alone in your portfolio is already a big asset especially if you can hold it for long as the longer you keep it, the higher its value will be.

There are no certainties when you invest in such projects as everything comes with risk. There are instances that they look like very profitable and very legit at the start but suddenly, they turned scammed projects in the end. But if you want to lessen the risk, invest in those old, established and legit projects. Bitcoin and ethereum could be the top choices as they always recover every time they create fall backs. And their demands in the market have been very high and exceptional so we can assure that they won't lose their value easily. However, if you want to take risk and engage in new projects, always take time to DYOR and start with small capital first. Who knows they can be our future assets. But anyways, i have here some tips on how to find your next crypto projects investment. Check this: https://www.investopedia.com/news/how-find-your-next-cryptocurrency-investment/

I completely agree and always tell people this. Crypto is a diversification strategy in itself, but that means mainly Bitcoin, some Ethereum, and almost nothing else. Anything else to me is a big gamble and just potential overrun, so less than 1% of crypto in alts I would say is the way to go (because we are talking about investment and holding, not trading).

Actually it's a good idea to hold some coins while trading in order to have a good profits.

But remember building a portfolio isn't easy, wherein it requires fundamental and technical analysis to determine a good project and to identify which is good to hold for long run.

and of course last but not the least to prevent scam project including thus project that always ended up into shitcoin because it's very common nowadays in the space. So i want you guys to be aware!

Investing can be more profitable if we are buying those old and established coins and hold them for years. That way, the risk will be less by having high assurance that we are not into new projects that will mostly lose their value overtime. Hodling can be of high advantage if we are hodling the right coins. Otherwise, our money and effort will only end up in waste. However, building a great crypto portfolio is not that easy, there should be patience and optimism, and of course a wide vast of knowledge so you could end up choosing the right and legit coins to hold. Learn how to DYOR all the time.

Easy to say but that wont really be that easy because not all would really be having the ff;

1. Doesnt have the right amount or sufficient funds to do so.
2. Very hard to find projects which is worth for holding for long term.
3. Emotional and Psychological aspects

These 3 alone would definitely be a main factor that will affect about your decision on which one you would choose.
You would really bare that in your own mind that nothing is guaranteed which is true.

What's good about picking old coins is that you don't need much analysis than what your doing when you pick newer coins. Building a portfolio will also be easier this way. Patience is more needed when you are now ready to hodl and not by the time your still building your portfolio. There's no need to waste time before you buy because your willing to wait anyway for a coin to increase when you hodl.

Holding and trading at the same time is fine as long as you can be able to do both activities but I believe most of us cant do trading very well as it's harder and takes too much time so they stick on investing. Sticking on investing alone can be beneficial because the capital won't be cut or divided, allowing you for more gains.

Here the most important concept that I would like to highlight is regularity and disciplined investing. The point of building a great portfolio over time is that you have to dollar cost average out on your positions so that your buying price is always accurate, you are never just buying during the bull run. This would happen only if you do either of the 2 things. Either you always keep a portion of your capital empty, let's say keep 30% of your capital in fiat always so that you can buy at the dips or make sure you buy in Monthly SIPs or weekly SIPs so you are averaging out on every opportunity available.

[el kaka22]

My system has been almost always the same thing for the past 2+ years and what people have used for long term for the past 70+ years as well. I keep 50%+ of my money in investment, and then I keep the rest in cash liquid but profitable stuff, like BUSD but at savings somewhere so it earns money as well. That way I would be able to invest and spread my portfolio into many things, and still make money from all of it. I have a good 30% of it on BTC alone, and around 20% on ETH alone, but that used to be 80% now that is not so much.

The other 50% of the invested are around 25% bnb, and 10% avax, rest are spread into tinier stuff. This is the invested part, and combined they make about 55% to 60% (depending on the day it changes a lot) and rest is in BUSD as I said.

so according to you, holding means having a "great crypto portfolio"? Not really. A good crypto portfolio has nothing to do with holding or trading. As long as you are holding coins that are well developed or has a potential to grow due to its utility and use cases, then you have a good portfolio. If most of your are holding or trading are shitcoins, then you have a bad crypto portfolio. To build a good portfolio, you have to do your own research and select coins that has actual use case and has something new to provide.

[Yamifoud]

I got these things...

* selection of potential coins
* terms of holding (short-term or long-term)
* Commitment to the plan

It is very understandable that we can improve our portfolio if we are able to know exactly what we are doing. But if don't give focus to this, that gonna be impossible to happen. We'd likely to improve our market understanding and much about to spare more patience to the market.

[lombok]

I agree with the OP. The steps given are very smart and constructive. If we do it consistently and with discipline I'm sure we can make an amazing portfolio.

Choose coins for long-term investment carefully. Don't rush and do a thorough research. Because if we are in a hurry and choose the wrong coin, we will be stuck for a longer and the worst loss the money because the project failed or was a scam.

That works in bullarkets but using 50% of your crypto to trade especially in down markets you will eventually lose all your dough.  Best bet is to just incrementally buy bitcoin on a monthly, weekly, etc basis and just keep STACKING SATS.  let it build month by month and after years of discipline and cost increases your portfolio will be nicely positioned.
