Crypto is giving us a once in a lifetime opportunity to achieve financial freedom.
But sadly, 99% of investors will likely never get there. Here’s how you can make the 1%.
🧵: Your guide to building a successful crypto portfolio, and how to keep it. 👇
2/ In this thread, I’ll be covering:
• Portfolio theory (risk/reward)
• How to manage your portfolio like a pro
• Yield maximisation and profit taking
Not financial advice of course.

3/ Firstly, let’s clear up a common misconception.
To make money in crypto you don’t need to get every call correct.
In fact, you can make 10 bets and only hit 1 winner to still come out ahead.

4/ Let’s say you put $1k in 10 projects ($10k total).
If 9 of them go to 0, but 1 does an 11x, you still profit $1k.
I don’t strive for perfection in crypto, I strive for profitability.

5/ This means taking losses along the way in pursuit of positive returns.
So what can you do to implement this strategy?
Firstly, diversify. Over diversification is a bad thing, but under diversification can also be harmful.

6/ That’s why I recommend to most new investors to build a portfolio of 20 great projects.
That way, you’ll still capture the overall trend of the market - but you’re not spreading yourself too thin.

7/ Here’s an example of a well rounded (albeit risky) portfolio.
At least 50% should be in blue chips, with 20%+ in stables.
The tokens you hold depend on what narratives you have conviction in.
I’m constantly presenting new ideas on my YT and Twitter.

8/ If you’re more experienced in crypto, you’ll likely be able to manage a larger portfolio.
But remember, the more projects you hold l, the more time you’ll need to dedicate to managing it.

9/ If the market is bullish, having exposure to more assets is generally advantageous.
However in a choppy/sideways market like this, you have to be more careful about the quality and quantity of projects you hold.

10/ What does managing a portfolio consist of?
• Taking profits
• Finding the best yield opportunities
• Staking and compounding
• Rebalancing based on performance
• Finding new projects and discarding existing holdings (if your thesis has changed).

11/ Let’s break down some of these key categories to help you become the ultimate portfolio manager.
Firstly, taking profits.
How you take profits depends on a multitude of factors, such as your:
• Time horizon
• Risk tolerance
• Financial goals

12/ Whenever a project doubles, I aim to take out my initial investment and let the rest ride.
This means you’re essentially holding tokens “risk free”.
I implement this strategy for my riskier holdings, as I don’t touch my blue chips long term.

13/ I currently put 50% of profits into both $UST and $BTC.
I have the long term goal of stacking as much #bitcoin as possible, as I believe it’s the only form of sound money on the planet.

14/ Aim to keep at least 20% of your portfolio in stables.
This means you’ll always have dry powder to buy the dip.
I do this by taking profits on the way up, and farming stables in the meantime.
When I deploy, I restock stables at the next best opportunity.

15/ If you have a portfolio of 20 projects, you might want to consider staking 10 of them in order to maximise yield.
I don’t stake everything due to smart contract risk, but I try to stake 50% across a variety of DeFi protocols.

16/ Where can you find the best yields? Firstly, @0xCoindix has a great product to scan APRs across multiple chains.
Secondly, keep your eye on Twitter and YouTube for new opportunities.
I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I post many of my strategies across YT and Twitter.

17/ But staking comes at a time cost. You’ll need to stay on top of your pools, as rates are highly variable in crypto.
How? Set aside a time each week to manage your LPs and farms, to ensure you’re compounding and seeking the best opportunities.

18/ Don’t have time? Well, maybe DeFi isn’t for you. 😆
But if you insist, then you can use autocompounders like @beefyfinance and @Reaper_Farm which make the job easier.
But remember, there’s an added layer of risk when you use autocompounders.

19/ You may want to take a % of your profits from yield farming into stables along the way.
Here are my 3 profit taking strategies for different market phases @SoundsTricky
• Bullish when market is low
• Bearish when market is high
• Mixed when you’re unsure:

20/ Here comes the hard part of portfolio management: Rebalancing.
Tokens can move drastically in price from the time of purchase.
You might put in $1k into a project which is now worth $5k, yet another $1k investment may now be $200.
Here’s where rebalancing comes in.
