Strategic Shift in Crypto Investment: The Evolving Role of Bitcoin in Portfolio Performance
According to Odaily, trader Eugene has observed that investment portfolios without a core allocation to Bitcoin have generally underperformed relative to traditional stock market benchmarks like the S&P 500 during the current cycle. This marks a departure from the 2019–2022 period, when crypto assets broadly outperformed traditional financial markets.
Key indicators such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and TOTAL3—which tracks the total crypto market capitalization excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum—have failed to exceed the performance of U.S. equities this time around. Eugene argues that as the crypto market matures and institutional participation grows, the days of achieving outsized returns or "financial freedom" through altcoins alone may be coming to an end.
He cautions that excluding Bitcoin—or leveraged Bitcoin exposure—from a portfolio could now be a strategic misstep. In high-risk market phases, even a 2x long position in Bitcoin may deliver better risk-adjusted returns than single long positions in more volatile altcoins.#BinanceHODLerSTO #DigitalAssetBill #SaylorBTCPurchase #BTCRebound #StablecoinPayments $BTC
