This is NOT the Perfect Portfolio
. But it does work great for us at EnergyMe333. We hope it gives you tips to create your own perfect portfolio!
EnergyMe333 does NOT provide financial advice. EnergyMe333 provides Self-Education Tools. This is a starting point for your own research. What is your risk level?
Buy low and sell high. Do the opposite of the crowd. Buy near market lows / crashes.
Sell some of your coins (take profits) close to market tops. This cannot be overemphasized enough: During a bull (upwards) market, TAKE PROFITS. Take profits into USD, precious metals, or other cryptocurrency. Be cautious with the stablecoins. More on the Terra Luna/UST attack. At the next crash low, use those profits to buy more coins. Repeat this cycle. Always keep (HODL) a comfortable percentage of core positions. Try to keep a reserve so you can buy at market lows or cash out as needed. Pay off your debts.
80% to 90% of your portfolio should be in core projects that your trust. So how do you know which projects to trust?
Here are some key decision parameters. What is the founders' track record? Is there a strong community? Has the coin/chain been hacked multiple time without fixes? How strong is the dev community? How strong is the marketing community? What is the function? Where is the value? How much liquidity do you need? In other words, you may have purchased a smaller coin that has high profits 3 years in the future, but is difficult to sell at the moment (low liquidity).
More parameters for choosing: use case (functions/services/benefits), open source code, liquidity in a bear market, solo blockchain, market cap, community benefit, mineable, governance, understandable website.
Note: These are non-ETHEREUM selections because ETH is frustratingly expensive and slow. Most of the coins below are available on Exodus, Atomic Wallet, Metamask and Osmosis.
Barbell Portfolio Structure. Large amounts of steady, core, reliable coins/projects. Smaller amount of high-risk-high-reward coins.
Some key investment tips from Crypto Empire: Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Keep core safety positions in high-volume, high-liquidity coins. See link above regarding stablecoin caution. Don't get overly attached to a project. Research your projects. Position yourself for future trends. Know when you want to ride out a crash.
This portfolio avoids crypto fashions
. Do extra research for these coins before you purchase. So currently there are no DAOs, no Game Coins, no NFT coins, no Wrapped coins* and no AI coins on this list. There are good coins in this arena, but they require extra research. How long do you plan to hold a wrapped
coin? Pursue these with extra money that you can afford to lose. * Where does the wrapped coin live (whose address?) and who controls it? Is it on an exchange? Many of these coins are still in development phases and need refinement. What percentage of your coins are staked? Again, research how long it takes to unstake
and know that you may be stuck in a position for a longer time and unable to sell staked coins quickly.
Be sure to keep a moon bag
. What is a moon bag? Let's say your crypto goes up in value. So you take profits into USD, precious metals, other cryptos. But you keep just 10% or 20% in reserve. Why? What if suddenly the crypto goes up in value 1000x or more? You still have the reserve that you can cash out. This is what cryptocurrencies are famous for. This is why you need a moon bag.
Please understand that wrapped
coins/tokens and LP coins/tokens are and IOU, a promise to exchange for the original coins. Proceed with caution. Research first. Plan your timelines and know that if a coin company/exchange/address is frozen you may be stuck with LP tokens or wrapped tokens for longer than anticipated.

__% **** Binance (BNB). High liquidity. We are cheering on Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ). We have a lot of respect for CZ and don't want him to be the scapegoat for current SECpurge.

***** We are all for the Beneficial-Whales that take profits in steps over time. It's the Rug-Pull-Whales that are problematic. Screen for anti-rug-pull-mechanisms such as: sell fee that benefits holders, liqudity locks, time-locks, maximum-sell-amount-code that prevents massive sell offs where max sell volume is limited to a percent/ratio per wallet address or treasury holding or time-lock. Screen treasury holdings for high liquidity coins. DAOs: The authors are pro-DAO but also realize they are in a rapid-development phase. So screen carefully and avoid the rug-pulls.
**** Please be aware that the Ripple (XRP) blockchain is private, centralized, and manipulated. Hold XRP for short term gains (1-3 years) and translate profits into decentralized coins. Ditto for Binance. Binance is a centralized exchange.
**** Binance (BNB). Binance programming runs on Cosmos (ATOM). Be aware that Binance is also centralized, but is supportive and transitioning to decentralized projects.
*** Hex (HEX) is a Certificate of Deposit vehicle on the blockchain. HEX is currently on Ethereum, but will be moving to the new PulseChain when Richard Heart calls the next crypto market bottom (2023?). Richard Heart has been amazingly accurate in the past and we highly value his judgement in this area. Crypto Coffee: 6 Reasons That Reveal The HEX Origin Address's REAL Intentions (Proof).

Pallas and Poseidon are keyed to Fantom (FTM). These coins can be highly profitable and highly volatile at same time! Withdrawal fees. Make withdrawals in steps.
