Many people enter the crypto market without knowing if they are investing for the long term or just trying to profit from quick trades.
If you want to invest with awareness, you need to understand your investment profile and start by separating at least two different strategies.
Below are some suggestions for people who are starting out and have not yet made this type of separation:
1. Do a critical self-analysis before investing
Ask yourself:
How much am I willing to risk in a more volatile trade operation?
What percentage of my capital do I want to keep safe in the long term?
Do I have the discipline to follow a strategy or do I act on impulse?
Mixing trade with investment without knowing what you're doing is one of the biggest reasons for frustration in the market. Invest with strategy and clarity.
2. Divide your capital between Position and Trade
Position Portfolio (Long Term): Focus on solid assets, gradual growth, and wealth preservation.
Trade Portfolio (Short Term): The smaller and more active part of the capital, used to take advantage of opportunities with higher volatility — always with risk management.
Conservative Profile:
90% Position
10% Trade
Moderate Profile:
70% Position
30% Trade
Aggressive Profile:
50% Position
50% Trade
3. Within the Position Portfolio, build your foundation
This part is your foundation in the crypto world. The choice of assets can also vary according to your risk profile:
Conservative:
80% BTC
20% ETH
Moderate:
70% BTC
20% ETH
10% Altcoins
Aggressive:
50% BTC
20% ETH
30% Altcoins
If you wish to expose yourself to meme coins (highly speculative coins with little foundation), do so in moderation. Use only a small part of the capital, preferably within the trade portfolio, and be aware that this type of asset may not be healthy in the long term. The risk of total losses is high, so treat this exposure as a bet — and never as a solid investment.
