Bitcoin-Crypto

Crypto Portfolio Example
HODL your core coins (BNB, BSV ...)

When crypto crashes, you buy more. Sideways, you hold. When crypto goes up, you take profits.

A Flexible Plan is Essential.

Your #1 Crypto Skill is Positioning


Positioning yourself before major market moves is your key skill. How to do this? Learn about crypto (BTC) market cycles with CryptoCrewUniversity. More links below.

Develop the ability to flex to alternative views. Do not be locked into only one position. ~ CryptoSniper. Core Investment Principles: 1.) Set your percentages for performance (trading) vs stability (holding). 2.) BUY near the market bottoms. 3.) Take PROFITS near the market tops. You need to know crypto cycles.

If you do not know where the yield is coming from then YOU are the yield.

Wrapped tokens are an IOU. LP Tokens are an IOU.

Swing Trading

Real Defi vs Centralized KYC


At EnergyMe333.com we typically avoid the big exchanges and don't leave our coins on them for long periods of time. We no longer use Poloniex or Bittrex (bankrupt) and avoid the exchanges that are moving to centralized KYC. We prefer real-Defi. In 2023 we still occaisionally use Kucoin, but mainly rely on the swaps such as ChangeNow.io, ChangeHero.io, Godex.io and PulseX.com

Buy Low and Sell High


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.

Decision Parameters?


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


Barbell Portfolio Structure. Large amounts of steady, core, reliable coins/projects (HODL). 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 on fashion (quick narrative) coins. If you trade, use only a limited part of your portfolio to buy and sell quickly for profits. 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, find out 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.

MOON Bag !


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.

Wrapped Coins and LP Coins


Please understand that wrapped coins/tokens and Liquidity Provider (LP) coins/tokens are IOU's, 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 or forever.

Transactions Per Second (TPS)


BSV Wins the Day! Outlining the important Transactions Per Second (TPS) speed parameter. These 2024 numbers are approximate. A few examples:

Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) Currently at 100,000 TPS and moving to Teranode which runs at 1 MILLION TPS and more.

Bitcoin (BTC) runs at 20 TPS. Ethereum (ETH) runs at 40 TPS. These are generous estimates. Understanding the Bitcoin TPS S-curve limitation.

Visa and Mastercard run at approximately 1000 TPS. Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) run at 1000 TPS.

Other high-TPS chains include: Cosmos (ATOM) runs at 10,000 TPS. Velas (VLS) runs at 50,000 TPS. TON coin (TON) and BitGert (BRISE) run at 100,000 TPS. Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) Teranode takes the cake, running at 1 MILLION TPS.

TITANO** V2? HIGH-RISK gamble. For those with a strong stomach. Currently listed as inactive on many exchanges. Please verify the status of this coin before investing. Titano runs on Binance Smart Chain. TITANO HQ: Private. Product: Auto-Compounding Protocol. HIGH RISK - HIGH REWARD. Careful with this one. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose. However, if you hold SHORT TERM you can make good profits: buy at the bottom of a bear market and sell towards a top of a bull run. Product: Passive-Income-High-Risk-High-Reward Compounding-Staking Coin that compounds in your own wallet.

__% ***** SPECULATIVE: Small Test Amounts. These are NOT core assets. Only a small test percentage of your portfolio here. Passive Income-Reward coin options with anti-rug-pull-mechanisms? Test small amount first. Caution: be sure to take profits ASAP on these coins. BodaV2 (BODAV2) 19% BUSD Rewards.

***** 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. Both XRP and XLM charge a coin fee to open a wallet. Both XRP and XLM have unlimited coins (unlimited printing). 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).

** Small coins with high-risk, high-reward potential. Titano (TITANO) is a high risk rebase/compounding coins. Titano is keyed to Binance (BNB). This type of coin can be highly profitable and highly volatile at same time! Withdrawal fees. Make withdrawals in steps.

* LTC will be slow compared with Solana (SOL). Digibyte will be faster than LTC or SOL.
