I do not have any special strategies to cut loss by diversifying crypto portfolio except for some simple rules. First of all, I do research rigorously so as to find whether the crypto project is legit or not. Mostly I hear about the project from opinion of others on the internet and reach decision on my own. Team, technology, whitepaper, delivery are some of the factors I look into.

If team of any project is not showing sign of following their roadmap i will dump for other coin
If the coin has no better trading volume on exchange i will dump for better coin
If teams are been shady or don't want to be open on their social media channel i will give up on such project and move to other
Its always safe to stay updated with every coins and tokens you have in your portfolio in case any thing want to go wrong

In crypto investing, many of us have been taught to diversify our crypto portfolio to reduce risks. The idea sounds nice and noble, but if you don’t do it correctly, it’s practically bad. Basically, you will just be giving away free money on a cryptocurrency that might not even take off after its ICO. Worse, if the market goes to the bear territory, many (if not all) of your altcoins will take a free fall. That is not what you really have in mind, do you?
Diversifying your portfolio is only one step in the right direction. To take the second and third steps, you need to become diligent and to have foresight. In this blog, we provide the most insightful information we have gathered to help you succeed at diversifying your portfolio and earn profits out of cryptocurrency investments.

I have sold almost all my coins and tokens in my portfolio because i later realized that they aren't good enough, i dump few for bitcoin and others for very good altcoins that have better products and companies supporting them, clear foundation is among,i like projects that have a company based products that have been in existence even before they decide to release their coin or token

The major factor I look out for when diversifying my crypto portfolio is how safe the option is and how legit the program seems to be. The concept behind it and the idea it intends to sell. Bitcoin seems to be the safest option as many altcoins especially those newly introduced to the  market seem to be scam. Only a few other altcoins are worth diversifying into.

I've given a lot of thought to diversifying, but at the end of the day, altcoins do what Bitcoin does, only at a smaller scale. Diversifying made sense in 2017 if you managed to run into an ICO that wasn't a scam. These days, however, you might as well put 100% in BTC. That way, you can at least get a decent profit if you do it right. And if you are into hodling, BTC is definitely the only coin where it makes sense, since altcoins don't exactly have a brilliant track record when it comes to staying relevant for more than a year or two at a time.

The most important is the quality of that assets' team in my opinion, If i am buying something, I have to research who I am investing in. Second, its token economics is really important so I can consider if it can give me profit or not. And finally I do check its volume exchanges, if it has a nice volume, I do not hesitate to buy that asset.

Diversifying in cryptocurrencies is not really diversifying, as altcoins are all tied to bitcoin price.
If bitcoin fall, all of them will fall.

I just talked about this a few days ago:

It makes no sense to "diversify" in assets which are totally correlated. As mentioned above, you will only increase your risk and volatility.


One thing you can be sure. BItcoin volatility is much lower. So, if you want to be protected, the best is 100% BTC. as you can see above, all alts are falling 30% or more, while bitcoin "only" -20%.

This is well noted. However, a lot of altcoin investors which include myself of course are considering the fact that it is much easier for an altcoin to make a x2, x3, or up growth as compared to Bitcoin. It is easier, for example, for Ethereum to climb to $340 than for Bitcoin to go as high as $16,000. Litecoin can reach $100 much sooner than Bitcoin reaching $15,000 most probably.

Another point would be that investment in altcoins is still one of the best ways to increase your BTC equivalent. HODLing BTC will keep your BTC at the same amount that you have them previously. It is not growing at all. Whereas if you invest in an altcoin, a 0.1 BTC could become 0.2 BTC in a matter of weeks or months. That's the time you convert into BTC and wait for another good entry price again for the altcoin.

It is not really that complicated. It does not mean that because you need to diversify your portfolio you will have to choose among the thousands of other altcoins, ongoing IEOs, and others you can possibly invest on. My idea of diversification is limited to the existing altcoins which have already proven their worth and contribution in the crypto development. That would actually make your options very limited, up to a hundred choices most probably or even half.

I coin that I would add into my portfolio should have: woking product (not an MVP or a whitepaper), a serious, real team members, solid exchange listing and a big community. 40 percent of my savings are now in BTC and another part in altcoins.

I'd actually think its a lot safer not do diversify.

BTC > everything else

There is no one shitcoin that actually achieved something. There is no future for them, why invest in them then ? Buy BTC, be safe.

Completely agree with you, right now is not very wise to diversifying our portfolio into altcoin because the altcoin is in terrible shape.
no matter how good we are managing the strategy if the price keeps moving down. it is completely waste, it is better to find the safest choice than risking it all.
and Bitcoin is a solution for now. Diversifying our portfolio works fine when the market moving up and down, but now the market is moving down completely.
there is no reason for us to diversify our portfolio if the altcoin is drowning.

People get the idea of diversification twisted somewhat.

Simply put, just because you invest in more coins doesn't necessarily mean that your portfolio is diversified or is all of a sudden a lot safer.

You'd have to look at a wide range of factors. Risk-return profiles of each coin (small, mid, or large cap?); sector in which the coin operates in (is it ICO'd, is it a token, is it a coin?); and the geographic location of the coin's development team.

Only if you address all of these factors will you be able to reduce risk. If not, you might as well just pick a single coin and run with it.

This is really very important knowledge for new people like me. Although I have been involved in the crypto market since 2018, my trading knowledge is still very low and continuously failed to trade.
After your post, I realized how to manage my risk and curb greed. This article is very helpful and thank you.

At first let us remind ourselves that investing in cryptocurrency was associated with risk of losing money! Thats why we should always aware of that since anything can happen,diversifying the crypto investment to the more stable and quality coins or tokens in the market will lesser the risk and thats what im doing today.
