Diversification is selling the winners to buy the losers.

This is true. People shouldn't just diversify for the sake of the word.

True. Diversification is a strategy and like all strategies these have to be moulded to each individual. There is not point buying anything you see just for the sake of being spread in shit markets. Wise choosing still applies.

Some people understand the word 'diversification' by exposing themselves not only to traditional markets in stocks and shares but also in the suit of strong projects in the crypto space. This is true diversification - or at least the way I see it Grin

Everyone should try to diversify their assets which doesn’t mean that you should end up buying hundreds of cryptocurrencies that will end up amounting to nothing. Like I do see some people who would buy more than 20 cryptocurrencies and store in their wallets, and it makes me wonder what the hell they’re really doing?

Moreover, that’s not even needed, you can just buy few cryptocurrencies and store them, as long as you are very sure that they are really good and they’re going to make the profit you need. It’s not every coin in the market that moves with bitcoin, there are still some of them that are really good and even when Bitcoin goes down they still continue to move up. So, it’s up to you to be selective and know the best cryptocurrencies to choose from, aside Bitcoin.

Diversification has several problems, and one of those is to monitor all the assets in which you are invested, if you invest only in bitcoin as many people do then this is very easy to monitor, but if you are investing in many different altcoins then suddenly this takes a lot more time and effort as just taking a glance to the price is not enough, now you need to watch the charts and see if your investment is going well, and if it is not then now you need to readjust your portfolio and this can become incredibly time consuming really quickly.

If that will be the idea, we are not winning, we are absolutely losing. Selling a few shitcoins and then buying more of them back. That makes no sense at all.

Choosing coins to hold or even to trade really matters and that it reflects on our portfolio.
Diversifying means that we further look for more potential coins. As we are not satisfied with the coins that we hold this time, replacing some of them will be the best idea. It is a common practice and really it works.

Diversification is selling the winners to buy the losers.

This is true. People shouldn't just diversify for the sake of the word. One should know why one is diversifying and what cryptos one is buying. Otherwise one will end up cutting short one's winners to invest in shitty cryptos. It doesn't even need to be diversification into Bitcoin. It could be into other alts but those alts shouldn't be worthless alts. I've experienced this first hand, and I know there are many veteran members here who have tasted this bitter pill too of diversifying and then losing out big time.

When we do consider about diversification then this is such action that shouldnt really be hurried or for you to rush up because this would really result into mistakes because you would really become that desperate nor become careless on making out decisions.On times like these

then you should really take all consideration before making such step because this isnt something that you do put and then leave it the rest.

You should be wise on taking such step because this would one cost if you dont know on what you gonna do.

bottomline, each alt or coin that you want to explore with, you also need to do your own assessment and not rely on someone else. the term diversification may be simple but when it comes to actual activity, one may be confused on what coins he needs to get a hold of. the list of coin is long but from that list, you only need to select few coins to invest with. and that is the hard part, how to select from those thousand alts. better go for projects with strong presence in the market, that means, they are actively used because of their application.

You hear a lot of opinions and everyone tells you that his strategy is the right one, but in my opinion there is no always right or wrong strategy, you must change your strategy according to the market change, you must have a good management of crypto assets that suits your portfolio and your nature as well, some people like for example Quick profit and they can't wait to get bigger profits, while others prefer the long investment to get bigger profits, so each case has a different strategy.
As for not putting all your eggs in one basket, this is to reduce the risks, not only the risks of trading but also the risks of hacking or fraud.

So what would be the right strategy of Diversifying Crypto Portfolio...

Have plan and make an analysis for the best coins that you want to include in your portfolio. Some coins are moving differently and its normal, you dont have to worry about it as long as the coins that you chose to hold are well-established and unlikely to be delisted in exchanges. Invest a high portion to a coin that most investors trusted the most (BTC), then choose some alts that has high potential. For me, the purpose of diversifying is I have many coins to rely on that can give me profit, less risky and reliable.

Although we can't assure that everything will be fine and earn huge profit but choosing those potential coins will save you from losing.
I invested those coins that belong to the top 20 coins in the market and I believe in them that I can get something in a month or years from now.

Diversifying our portfolio is always the best practice ever. Why not if we know that these aren't profiting anymore? As we look for a better gaining opportunity in the other coins, we need not sacrifice ourselves and hold those coins who are not anymore but instead, we let them go and replace them with a new one.

The up or down of BTC directly depends upon purchasing and selling of BTC and on the market trends towards it.
As for diversifying this rule cannot be applied to cryptocurrency due to the lack of trust of people in other digital currencies but it all depends to you which digital currency you can trust upon. Yes, I do agree that diversifying may reduce the risk but it will also affect your potential return.

It might affect the potential return at times, but it helps to secure the portfolio without much difference unlike any market condition. If there is no diversified portfolio, automatically this could directly make a big change in the portfolio value depending on the bullish and bearish trend of the market. Most of the crypto holders will have bitcoin constituting majority of the portfolio holdings. Now this has changed with the increased price and people are towards altcoins.

I guess we all have our own choices for crypto coins when it comes to diversifying our portfolio. But our preference changes from time to time as it depends on the market sentiment. As for me, i am considering bitcoin as my utmost investment while the rest of it includes ethereum and other promising altcoins. But i know its not always bitcoin that will make me profit the most, in some instances there are also strong altcoins that can give us more profits compared to bitcoin. But as long as i have them in my portfolio regardless of the funds i intended on each of the coins, then i know i don't have to worry even if the market dumps seriously as they are good for long term investment.

Bitcoin is a must to be our main investment as bitcoin gives us a big profit from the altcoins. While the altcoin sometimes can give us a big profit, that will depend on what coins we have in our portfolio. Related to the altcoin, we need to be careful choosing the coins because not all coins can be the right coins to profit from in the future. It needs more research to find the coins and that is why we need to adjust or modify our portfolio from time to time with the current situation in the market. We can minimize the confusion of managing our portfolio.

Buying only Bitcoin or at least 90% Bitcoin.

I do agree that BTC must be your primary target of investment in crypto. IMO 60 to 70% of your capital should go in BTC and rest of capital for strong alts (top 10 alts at CMC) and short term trading. OP point is also valid that when BTC goes down every coin goes down with it. We have to accept that fact, the logic of equity trading don't fit here.

I would rather agree if we put 100% of our investment was on bitcoin and just fully ignore altcoin because they are completely useless without bitcoin.
You will diversify your portfolio if you are not in crypto and stick to bitcoin investment only if you invested in stocks and real estate but don't have profit yet, I would go in bitcoin. Last month, some of my friends diversified there investment from stock to bitcoin because they realized that bitcoin has the potential to gain more profit.

Well, it's sometimes to consider that some altcoins are more profitable than Bitcoin and this is found to be a reason why people don't give the 100% investment in Bitcoin alone but they still spare some funds on altcoins. A matter of fact is that we can see huge demand on altcoins which probably it means that more investors are investing in altcoins and diversifying their portfolios.
If we just look for long-term investment, Bitcoin is the best choice but seems it was not the best deal for now. And for me, I use to spread my funds to altcoins as well while leaving 50% on Bitcoin for more profit assurance.

For me, i always find it to be more risky investing in altcoins because they tend to dump more than bitcoin. So when it comes to my portfolio, i intend to put 60% of my funds into bitcoin, 30% for established altcoins, and 10% in stocks. In this way, i won't be totally zero in my profits as i have lot of sources for my income. It's better to diversify your portfolio into multiple investments but always see to it that bitcoin would gain the biggest funds since its the most promising asset we have right now. Although its value will not be seen always on top, but i know in the end it will still settle for a price which is higher than other coins.

Diversifying on particular percentage would definitely depending on someones preference or type because not all would really be looking attractive on what bitcoin had attained or achieved neither in terms of volatility or movement.

When you are planning to go with those x100 or x1000 then you would need to deal with low cap coins and if you do like with that 50% up on a day
then it would be no brainer you would go for altcoins.

Depends on your choice because in the end of the day we do tend to accumulate bitcoin as much as we can.

All you hear about these Trading and Investing rules that " Dont put all your eggs in one basket " or " Diversify your portfolio "
(....)

There are also some people who are not believing here.
Their quote is "You don't need to diversify once you are in a good position and sized in", something like that.

Diversifying a portfolio is pretty good since this is applicable even you have a huge or small portfolio or capital.
But overall for me, the best is always "knowing or doing research first before putting your egg on a basket".

Diversification is a way to protect your capital in the case one of the markets in which you are invested goes down dramatically, this way even if you suffer some losses it is not something that will be impossible to recover from with the rest of the assets in which you are invested, however if your goal is to increase your capital then diversification plays against that, this means that those that have a large capital and that are already happy with it can use diversification, but those that have a small capital need to concentrate their capital instead in a limited number of assets to increase their profits.

People don't get this strategy is still supreme than diversifying a lot. It's okay if you want to diversify but be sure that you've got bitcoin as the king of your crypto portfolio.
More than half the percentage of your total assets, that's already good. And it will depend on the likes of the crypto that you want to hold because if you diversify a lot, it's not that good too. So always weigh and balance not just your portfolio but as well as your decisions.

You should allocate good percentage with Bitcoin since this can be your safe haven while the altcoins are not working properly, holding Bitcoin is always advisable same thing on diversification. Never go all in even on Bitcoin, that’s still risky and not a good way to invest. I do hold Bitcoin and trade altcoin as well, this is very effective for me.

As we have observed throughout the years, bitcoin has been tested by time. There will be ups and downs, but that's just part of the market. But its value has tremendously increased as compared the last 5 years or so. It is the top alt, so we can assure ourselves that this will not disappear when we are sleeping. And then to diversify your portfolio, look at top 10 alts first and evaluate which one will have the strongest applications in the market. Because with strong app, you know they can survive even with bearish market.
