Okay, I have to call out the biggest mistake I see new traders making, because it cost me a fortune early on: overloading your portfolio with mid-cap and small-cap altcoins. đ€Šââïž
âLook, we all want the 100x gem, but if 70% of your portfolio is in coins with a market cap under $1 billion, you are sitting on a time bomb. If Bitcoin hiccups 20%, your portfolio can easily crash 50% because those smaller coins just bleed out.
âHereâs the simple rule I stick to now, and you should too:
â50% Anchor: Keep half your bag in boring-but-safe stuff like BTC and ETH. They protect your wealth.
â30% Core Alts: Invest in established blue-chips like Solana, BNB, etc.
â20% Moonshot: This is where you put the new, risky, high-reward stuff.
âIf your risky 20% pumps hard, donât just leave it thereâtake some profit and move it back into your BTC/ETH bag. Thatâs how you lock in gains without losing your shirt.
âWhatâs your current BTC/ETH percentage? Let me know! đ $BTC
