every risk is there in everything, if you invest in CRypto you must be ready to accept the fact that the coins you have have experienced a very sharp drop in price,
for me to invest now in BTC and ETH it might be too late ifyou accept the risk that's okay
if the defi project promises profit what's wrong with you reducing the stock of one of your main coins btc or ETH that you reduce, and I see the Defi project is also very promising

Are altcoins a risky business or a real way to make money?
Both, Altcoins are a real way to make money where the work is always risky when done, meaning that you will get more money if you know how it works and always prioritize good analysis for initial reference. 
BTC is considered the safest (grain of salt here because crypto is still incredibly volatile).
So I think something conservative portfolio would be maybe 80 BTC/15 ETH/5 DIVI (BTC/ETH/altcoin of your choosing).
If I want a more aggressive portfolio, I need to lower BTC holding, up ETH a little, and up your third coin? Is it a good plan?
With about a grand in USD to gamble. I probably don’t want to spread myself much thinner than 3 coins of course.
The current crypto market is little bleeding in BTC & ETH because we still stay in a red zone and we know this is not a huge drawback But stay In a negative line. So my suggestion is we must active in current traffic and BTC is a long term potential platform and ETH is better investment in other altcoins. I hope DIVI is not good for long term so must maintain the activity and plan to move on another potential platform.

How did you come up with those ratio? For an "aggressive portfolio" investing most of your money on bitcoin instead of Ethereum sounds better, right? And I wouldn't invest on some random altcoins (unless you are willing to take very high risks and invest on those shit altcoins and sell it when it gets pumped. High chance you will lose everything, so not worth the risk at all).
I like your "conservative" portfolio. This is what I would have done. Put most of the money on coins I trust and has long term potential. But why is DVI on your list? Never heard of it.

I guess you will need to wait a bit in other not to invest at the wrong time as most market is witnessing high price corrections, but if am to advise I will say you make 50% of your portfolio be in bitcoin 30% in ethereum then the remaining 20% you can share among the other coin.
That can work for him as bitcoin lead the market, so everything that happens to bitcoin, the altcoin will follow. Having bitcoin in 50% can profit, but he needs to stay calm and not panic because the price will be up and down. This day, we see bitcoin price seems stable for a while, but we do not know what will happen to bitcoin in the next few hours. The risk to invest in bitcoin and altcoin will be there, so he needs to understand that he does not have to risk too big money to invest in crypto.
I recommend that you invest in DIVI since in these a good price and you can get good earnings would be the best
So you see DIVI and then suggest it to others because the price is good in your opinion? Then do you think that the price of DIVI will not decline again and will continue to rise until the end of the world?

You are in the right track, a conservative portfolio will have most of the money invested in bitcoin and if you want one that takes more risk then you need to decrease your BTC holdings and increase the new altcoins that you are holding, I think that even 60% on bitcoin and the rest on altcoins could be adequate right now as bitcoin is too dominant at the moment and some are expecting that number to go down as altcoins grow faster than bitcoin.

Not sure about DIVI, but the rest you mentioned as top tier coins are enough already actually.I wouldn't suggest going down for BTC and up for ETH though. You'll probably be more better with more BTC even if you said that you're going for "aggressive portfolio". That would be considered a good plan for me, but all of the decision is still up to you, OP. Good luck!

Right, just look at the price and the hype specially from institutions.So I think something conservative portfolio would be maybe 80 BTC/15 ETH/5 DIVI (BTC/ETH/altcoin of your choosing).
I think that's not conservative when majority is into bitcoin, I would say that is aggressive.If I want a more aggressive portfolio, I need to lower BTC holding, up ETH a little, and up your third coin? Is it a good plan?

The opposite in my opinion. Hard to say which 3rd coin you will have to invest, but you can take a look at this 3: BNB, ADA and DOT. With about a grand in USD to gamble. I probably don’t want to spread myself much thinner than 3 coins of course.
risk is the possibility of something bad happening. Risk involves uncertainty about the effects/implications of an activity with respect to something that humans value (such as, property or the environment), often focusing on negative, undesirable consequences.
Choose coins that will give you a good return. Eth and btc are good choices, add some altcoins that are already established, too. Risk is always there, it's how you manage your portfolio. Putting many eggs in a basket is an advantage. And honestly, I am not familiar with that Divi coin you have mentioned. But as long as it gives you a good profits, it is fine to stay it in your list.

The amount is already good, wow you are a big investor for having this huge amount of Bitcoin I do not even had 0.5 in my wallets, you are already guaranteed of profit in this bull run do not invest in a new coin and go for coins that are already in the top 10, your risk will be minimize if you are on the top coin.
It is an interesting portfolio since it has currencies with very different objectives from each other and what are influencing each one in different ways. The best thing is to do a lot of research and go for the currency that is closest and you have a better follow-up of itself, of course it is very important to diversify but without a doubt the amount in Divi would rise a little more and something well distributed in BTC / ETH
Now isn't a good time to invest but a good time to take profit,
It might be wrong dude, there was a big whale that has brought the price of bitcoin to go to the below 50k again and it seems like this time is a good time to shorting the market and long term investment is not recommended. OP should at least consider waiting for the another bearish trend to happen again. The time to take profit already passed and you are loosing some of your value when you are taking your profit right now.
Diversification is a must but the question is why he must invest some of his money on DIVI and we known this as a crap project.
Actually depend on your capital amount, I'll be comfortable if I have an example $100 then I'll choose one altcoin that still has a low price but has a good fundamental factor for short term investment instead of I spread $100 for 3 portfolio, I guess the profit that will get is very small.
Or you can choose future market and using a leverage, that will help you to increase your capital but indeed you will have a high risk to lose your money. Bitcoin and ETH price are already high, I think it is not worth to us for investing in small amount.

Diversifying is a good idea you only mention three coins as your option why not, widen your portfolio to include some DeFi projects like UNI or a coins that is showing strength like Binance coin, there are many coins that are candidate to get in your portfolio, just do your research and you will have a profitable and stable portfolio.

Now isn't a good time to invest but a good time to take profit, what you are planning to do is high risk and only you can give the go ahead not anyone else, as you can see there is panick mode activated since yesterday and people are selling their coins, the choice of taking risk or not is all on you, follow your heart
its too late to take our profit mate, because market already down,, but its okay if bought altcoins last year, you still have enough profit now
by the way, for me this is the right time to for wait to enter the market or buy back after this corrections over my friend

It's better to divide our portfolio into more parts instead of sticking with one crypto. Also, it's safe to keep our trading or hodling with BTC and ETH. TBH, alts are good to profit in alt season, but it's more risky when BTC or whole market is in correction like now. Correction is needed for a bullish rally as well and it's the best time to buy more potential alts for next rebound.
I have my long term bags packed so i just play around with a trading account. And everything i can earn a little extra on the side - i stake it

If Divi is not well known, that does not mean it is not a good project. There are plenty of valuable projects that not many people know. Divi actually has a fairly strong community and following, and considering what they are doing in the real world, I would not discount them at all. They always advocate for safety and aim to simplify many of the processes which people new to crypto tend to struggle with. Divi is great in my opinion, just as other projects which I don't know about can be great.
