There are advantages to having either a small or a large number of coins in your portfolio. Theoretically having a larger number of coins, as long as they are in diversified industries, spreads your risk exposure somewhat. But having a smaller number of coins (presuming you started with the same amount to invest), means that you have the potential to achieve higher returns if they move upwards, but obviously increases your exposure to bigger losses too. I think between 12-15 coins is a decent number to get the best of both worlds, but there is no 'right' number, everyone will have their own preferences.

How many cryptos should Ihave in my portfolio? Are there one recommended diversification ( like having 3 or 4 coins) ?

That is a good start if you already have four coins, diversification is still much better than putting all your money into one investment, since once that single coin drops, all your your investment goes down, but if you diversified, once one coin drops value, the others can compensate

Sorry bro, but in real life it doesn't work like that. When Bitcoin falls, all decent altcoins go down along with it. The ones which don't just happen to be in the pump phase of the pump and dump routine. These are shitcoins, and adding them to your portfolio is a sure way to lose money in the long run unless you are an insider. True diversification is required if you want to maximize your profits, but if you want to preserve wealth and minimize risks (which is what you speak about), you should stick to a single asset, most reliable and safe one. In the vast majority of cases diversification add risks, not takes them, as many people often falsely assume.

basically there are no requirements or specific numbers on how many kinds of crypto you have in your portfolio, ad long as you can manage it freely and handle it, there is no such things as rules to how many you will manage. You must also be aware on your investments and must keep tabs on what is happening in your portfolio.

3-4 coins isn't bad if you'll diversify and will build up your own portfolio.
There are traders that has more than 10 coins but the quantity of each coin they are holding isn't so great. I'll choose to have few choice of coins and have large quantity each of it.
Today once again I understand that we must keep cash. With cash, investors can show the ability to buy. Through such declines, profit opportunities are assessed.
We are in crypto market and we know that there's no place for cash in here unless you want to sell your coin to cash.
Cash value doesn't move.

it depends on how much money you have but you can have more than 4 coins in your portfolio at the same time especially if you can get it at the lowest price so you don't have to do a fast sell. I have more than 10 coins in my account and I waiting for the coin to get increase higher so I can sell it and I can wait for a long time from now. maybe it is better to have just 5 coins so you won't have a problem to check each coin and it does not take too long to analyze each coin.

Ideally, a trader should have at least 2-3 crypto on his portfolio, having so much would be so toxic, it requires more of your time and needed more focus on you. Btc, eth amd ditcoin i think for me is good, being the top coins nowadays, it should definitely be on you portfolio

Get as much as your budget will allow you. Crypto is a good short term investment right now and we should take advantage of it. It is always recommended to diversify your portfolio so to minimize your risk. I suggest get the top coins for your portfolio.

It could be unlimited as long as you have the resources to invest in every crypto you want. It's safe since portfolio only serves as you monitoring medium, just makes sure your wallet is safe to avoid being hacked.

I divide my portfolio into three groups: Group 1 coin top (including coin top 20 coinmarketcap). Group 2 potential coin (Coin platform high value application), Group 3 coin to trade (often trade trade but coin range fluctuations can yield 20-30% profit)

Is there any limit? What purpose are you making a portfolio? Use as you want, the money you invested in different currencies is your portfolio. That can be made with tow/three coins or even with more than twenty coins.
There is no issues I believe in sharing one’s portfolio or you can say the collection of coins. Here are many crypto experts on the forum and they can guide him or her in a better way regarding the collection of coins. There are certain coins that are worth holding for long time but others are just wastage of time. They could be used for trading and other such activities.

3 or 4 is a small number, but it depends on how many funds you have available to invest. The good thing about diversification is that altcoins are notoriously hard to predict when it comes to prices, so keeping a wide range from stable coins (NEO, LISK) to riskier high potential coins (WAGERR, XSPEC) will maximise the chance for gains

I think that you shouldn't focus so much on differentiating your crypto portfolio as you should on differentiating in general. What I mean by that is that BTC is leading the way and other coins are following, especially the main ones like ETH or LTC. If BTC goes up the rest will do as well, so it doesn't matter that much if you own 20% BTC, 20% LTC and so on, as long as you have BTC. The risk is similar for all of them and even bigger the less popular coins you're getting into.

The ideal crypto-portfolio is one that follow's Pareto's law applied to allocation of capital, namely, one that is at least 80% of exposure to Bitcoin.

So:

-80% BTC
-20% a couple of good altcoins

Of course, "good altcoins" is a very limited amount, as you should. Mindless diversification will get you nowhere, specially when most investors are playing with their mom's weekly wage.

If you want to be serious about this, you need a decent capital to start with, and put it into Bitcoin.

If you want to be more extreme, research altcoins and assume the added risk.

Personally, a good altcoin speculation in my book is Stakenet. Once ETH goes PoS, I predict a pump. Their TPoS technology could pump the price and get it into new all time highs, it's pretty bottomed at around 3k-4k sats.

But always remember that BTC is the only long term sane hold.

It all depends on various factors. I mean you can't say that this much of coins are okay it depends on the current situation in the market. Like if you see all the coins have an upward tendency you might want to diversify in many options to gain as much as you can while if you think that market is too bearish people often tend to keep only one or two options in hand. While if the market is settled you go for somewhere in betweek. But ideally and normally I feel 4 investments are absolutely accurate depending you have a normal trading amount in your hand. Infact even most of exchanges have option of investing directly 25% of your total sum in any trade which makes it even easier.

There's no comprehensive, one size fits all kind of answer. Personally, I'm with Warren Buffett on the matter of diversification who is known by saying that if you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them. To me, diversification for the sake of diversification is meaningless, which will turn out detrimental to your capital in the end. In essence, when diversifying your portfolio, you should know what you are doing. This is not possible unless you have an in-depth, insightful knowledge and understanding of every asset you are going to add to your investment stack (which is what Buffett talks about).

Otherwise you will likely see the opposite of what you are looking for, and instead of increasing your profits and decreasing your risks, you will actually intensify your exposure to market quirks and twists.

To be honest, it differs from person to person but generally, I would recommend holding at least 20 different options in the portfolio having not more than 5% weight for each option. Thus even in the worst case scenario would not lose much of his capital due to diversification in a high number of options. I have seen people doing it in the case of stocks too. Again, if the investor is confident about his investment decision then 5 options are enough for him but diversifying in a high quantity reduces the risk.
