I don't quite understand what you are getting at, but what you should do is not spend your Bitcoin but instead save it for when it will be worth $1,000,000.

That's true , optimistics is a must but don't forget about the plan B .
There's no harm to split it like 70% for bitcoin and tge rest for altcoin , incase the altcoin could make a surprise on bitcoin.
For example ethereum that rumoured everytime it could replace bitcoin position as the biggest cryptocurrency , why not it could happened right?

definitely not. going all-in on any altcoin is mismanaging risk. it's "putting all your eggs in one basket" so to speak, in the context of high risk and highly speculative assets. so the smartest thing to do is spread around that risk and diversify. i'd rather put 0.1 BTC into 10 different coins (or maybe into 5 coins, with amounts weighted based on my view of their fundamentals and speculative value).

as it is, i'm actively invested in about a dozen coins, most of them for the long term (> one year, due to capital gains taxes).

the most important thing in this cryptoworld is you will only lose it if you sell it cheaper than your buy order,
so how do we manage it if we have that amount of coins or even more ?
of course that you need to do is to split it into 5-10 or else.
you can do this if you have a strategy and back up plan,
because you should know the cycle,there'll be a pump but we should wait the accumulation phase for the whales.
some good coins will have that phase every single time and we need a lot of patience during that time,
no matter what,every altcoin will be pumped in the coming month,year or around that.
(but remember it's a high risk,very high that is why i told you to split it into 5-10 or else part).

and other than that you should have a financial back up for your trade,
because when that time happen and you don't have any back up more likely you will miss the chance

It depends, if you are already sure about that coin will increase soon so go for it buy all-in in 1 coins but if you want more safety it's better to seperate it into many coins like this popular words don't put all your eggs in one basket. My experience on trading is i always focus on 1 altcoin, it's better than focus on many altcoins. So your money only focus on 1 altcoin.

It is risky but still a good strategy cause you will earn big profit if the value of the coin will shoot up. If you intend to invest in one coin only then you might want to try buying 10% of your funds to that coin and in case price will go down then you can spend again 20% to buy that coin to average down and the target price will be reduce as well and if it goes down again then you can spend 30% again to buy and average down then if it goes down again, buy using the remaining 40% of your funds. You may end up at a loss doing this if the coin's price will not recover but I can observe in some exchange that coins are pump from time to time so there is still a chance that your target price will be reach.

Bitcoin- in bullish time

If you have 1 bitcoin and if i were you, i will not go with 1 coin alone. It is very risky for me to go all in (1 bitcoin) in only one altcoin because that is a risky decision and you can lose a lot of money by just being greedy so i think it is better if you will just diversify and spread that 1 bitcoin to different altcoins that are good both short and long term.

Yes, i would go all in one if i have a whole btc. Bitcoin value is $4300 each, so you are not risking so much money.
I would invest it all on waves, and that is it, with $4,3k you can buy aprox 860 waves, if their price increases to $15 you have triplied your money, and waves have a very nice potential, i am sure that i would go all in one with waves.

I'm not an experienced trader, but I have an interesting theory.

I think for trading and other +EV games (poker, sports betting, etc), you should be trying to get the highest median income. What I mean by median income is, assuming the odds of the trade are known, the 50% percentile outcome if the same trade was executed infinity times.

Ex: you spotted a possible trade with 50% to 2.02x your money and 50% to lose all your money (EV +1%).

If you execute that trade infinite times with 50% of your bankroll, you lose 24.5% for every 2 trades. Calculations: (.5*2.02+0.5)*(0.5)=.755
However, if you trade 0.1% of your bankroll, your profit would be too small. (0.001*2.02+.999)*(.999)=1.00001898
The ideal trade amount is 1% of your bankroll (double check that, I might be wrong). (0.01*2.02+.99)*(.99)=1.000098

In fact, unless your profit margin is very wide, you should only be trading a small amount of your bankroll (<5%) per coin. Trading with 100% of your money is more or less gambling maybe with no house edge (if your good at trading).

No, it is not a good idea, even though Bitcoin can be consider as a safe investment,but it is really a good idea to split your investment, at least when something happened you won't lost it all and who knows your other investment can give you better profit, at least put it into 2 different investment

I do not recommend it, because it can make you lose if the price of the coin suddenly goes down. Better to invest on lots of coins, maybe 3 coins. Well it might make you fortune.
You could have done it with 1 coin, but you should really have accurate information on the coin.

Its a temptation for me to sell that 0.5 btc if I do have a 1 bitcoin. And I will hold 0.3 for the price still in increasing sprees. And the remaining bitcoin I will exchange it with promising altcoins that may profit in the future. I can handle that as of now but in real scenario at the day I got one, I don't if I can even think because of shocked and happiness.

Diversification of your capital into different investment opportunity is very important than risking all your capital in one coin. A rational investors will spread his or her capital into different coins that will bring a good return on investment.

This is correct method as do not put all your investment in one coin. Diversify is the key towards anything whether its money or knowledge. Spread it so that you get the best and gain the most. Buy some btc and rest you can buy 2 to 3 different altcoins so that you have a good portfolio and who know in long term you may be a millionaire based on your investment.

Though I believe with Bitcoin nothing is going to be wrong, but you never know. So yes, obviously diversifying will be the best and required move if somebody has 1 BTC only. Even if you don't think to diversify in various many altcoins, do it with atleast 4-5 coins. Before you do just be careful and judge properly with accurate knowledge. Mistakes can be really breathtaking here.

Going all-in probably isn't the best option. I mean, it could yield big profits but also could drag your account eerily fast towards 0. I'm far from a professional trader but in your position I would spread 0,7 BTC over at least 5 altcoins and keep the remaining 0,3 BTC. The cryptomarket is currently bullish but it couldn't hurt to have some BTC ready to buy during a dip if it occurs.

Divided it into some partials, that was the basic thing you must remember in trade that makes the risk for your amount will be less. because you just no put your amount in one basket. Just like the decentralized brings your amount into some parts of the investment.

welp , this is might one of the reason why i was loss on trading before, i'll try to splitting my funds to separate coins.
Can anyone advice me more , how many '%' i need to set let's say i'm going to trade into 2-4 coins (bitcoin excluded)?

separated it with several coin because stick to one coin only is risky unless you pick bitcoin and not decide to buy any altcoin but if i have 1 bitcoin as my trading capital i would use 50% for bitcoin and 50% again to trading altcoins
