OhWiseWizard

Usage. Also LINK does have buybacks & dividends, though I don't consider those "fundamentals". Fundamentals are indicators of the health of the token and growth trajectory its on based on usage. Anyway, this thread isn't about LINK. A lot of you are very misinformed about LINK and chose to center all your energy on that, seems odd.

Django_McFly

Reminder, OP can be boiled down to *I "invested" in tokens but they haven't 10X so that means nobody cares about fundamentals*. Caring about fundamentals = you're pumping my bag. Nothing you listed is a fundamental. Fundamentals are how does success of the protocol correlate to token price? Are there literal things that connect it or is it purely, "we're cool dudes. we made a cool protocol. now we made a cool token. if you want to be cool like us, you should buy the token!" Revenue share/dividend? No. Buybacks? No. Token burns? No. Is the token equity? No They added staking not too long ago. So all those nos + supply inflation. What exactly are the fundamentals you speak of? LINK was formed in the *can't be a security* era. Expertly crafted to have no connection whatsoever to the success of the protocol and the price reflects this. "Swag" and "from the people that bought you Chainlink comes their newest hit: $LINK" aren't real fundamentals. LINK is a token you have to trade, short term or you buy it during the bear when it crashes to like $3 or $4. Unless Chainlink starts doing stuff that's like "we're taking some of the profits and we put it in the token. The more we profit, the more we give back to the token", $LINK will never reflect the success that Chainlink achieves.

Clearly, I’m asking you that question after you laid out adoption is it’s primary objective right now. I imagine at some point you personally want it to move from adoption to value. So, again, the question is when does that happen? Framing my argument as “token moon” as opposed to “value accrual” is disingenuous. And, it’s not necessarily bad business, because adoption is going well, but, I feel like I need to keep saying this, when does value accrual start and what’s the actual mechanism behind it? Because the current way has Link generating just 4.3 million in fees in the past 30 days versus a 10.7 billion cap. As to your point, I don’t know right now.. which is why I don’t hold any LINK. But, neither do you, and that question is one you should be asking yourself. Remember this post in 2 years. It’d be great if it ages like milk for me and you reap the windfall!

OhWiseWizard

Yes, I think you missed the point of my post. Don't you hold lots of ROSE and LINK also?

Sandharbor

A lot of projects have big partnerships, specifically almost all top 100’s do unless they’re meme’s.  I know of Mastercard, Nvidia, blackrock, name brand partnerships.  Heck even a NFT coin like DOOD/doodles has a McDonald’s partnership  Yet none of these coins really outperformed this cycle.  At the end of the day what utility/reward does owning LINK an oracle give me, other than seeing it was up over 100’s of times early last cycle not a lot of appeal. Heck it didn’t even finish last cycle strong. 

OhWiseWizard

There are 1 billion LINK tokens, no one can make more. What you're talking about would require a fork, much like Bitcoin which has been forked many times (you can argue BSV and BCH are just "more Bitcoin"). 300MM of those are still held by Chainlink Labs, but the infrastructure itself is decentralized. Regardless, this isn't a post about me educating people on Chainlink, so not sure why all the attempts to spread misinformation.

So you think LINK is undervalued? Then act accordingly

OhWiseWizard

Chainlink is not a chain, it's middleware infrastructure, and they process probably more tx which use the token than any L1 other than ETH and SOL right now. This is generating trillions of on chain value, in fact the vast majority of ETH's value capture passes through Chainlink systems which utilize the LINK token.

Madness is what you say without technical knowledge. VET has just lost the VAL accumulated since its inception, which is a sign of tremendous weakness. LINK 1[link 1](https://www.tradingview.com/x/3dMaIHPS/) To upload, you must at least recover the VAL clearly as indicated in the image Even,in the smallest time frame, it can also be how you lost the VAL with a clear rejection (circle). Link 2[link 2](https://www.tradingview.com/x/eo1T3qHH/) Most likely, the price will eat up all the money of those who entered the gap and will cover this Gap until at least the lowest price indicated as Key 🔑. Are you willing to take a 26% drop? Friend, wait for the VAL to recover or continue in free fall

Not really. I subscribe to the theory of the 4-year cycle, and with only 2 months left, I don't see an alt-season in the cards. However, if Bitcoin goes to $140k, it will give alts a good push, perhaps enough for 60%-100% gains in a month's time, which - in the very short term - would outperform Bitcoin. My base case: Given the FED just announced QT ending on December 1st, I think we're likely going to top out in the first week of December. QT ending historically causes the markets to dump, and with less than a month left in the cycle, I don't expect a recovery from that dump. IMO, QE is required for alt-season, which is why we haven't gotten one this cycle. But when I look at the LINK/ETH valuation, I see that LINK has just hit a level it usually bounces off from. So I definitely think LINK will outperform ETH at the very least. I'll be selling everything (including most of my Bitcoin) at the end of November. I think this cycle was a bit cursed due to monetary policy, but alts aren't dead in the long-run. QE will return during the bear market, which, I'm guessing, will mean the 2026 bear market will be milder than the '22 one. I'll buy everything for cheap in '26, including alts, and I think the next bull run will be very generous to alts. If you're interested in reading why I still believe in the 4-year cycle, I can copy-paste a response I gave a couple of days ago to this thread :)

schizophrenicbugs

I'm ballin'. Wanted to buy a bunch of LINK a couple of days ago but figured we were about to get a dump to Bitcoin's 50 week MA. 105k is close enough for me so I pulled the trigger at $15.4 / LINK. Let's see how this plays out.

Agreed. BTC, ETH, and LINK are solid. I’d also add **$ROAM,** their DePIN project is building real-world infrastructure with real adoption, making it a strong fundamental play in a bear market.

opensandshuts

The global markets will convert to blockchain, but 12 months is incredibly short. Although I could see rapid progress made towards T+0 settlement via LINK once they iron out all the details.  It’s just going to require A LOT of testing, bc there is zero room for error in the tradfi industry.

jwz9904

LINK down 8%. Seems like a shitcoin as well.

Major-Rabbit1252

I like how you blame crypto for your financial ruin and not yourself. No one should be investing money that they don’t have You also are unlikely with timing and also severely impatient. If you bought BTC/ETH a couple years ago then you’d be doing backflips right now. You either bought shitty alts or bought the blue chips near ATH This also isn’t the place to “trade” or go long/short. Just DCA into coins attached to tech/use in the new financial system and then hold I have some BTC for the scarcity, but am primarily invested in ETH, SOL, LINK, ADA, XRP. Are all going to hit and 100x? No. Investing is a risk. With that said, these are all coins that can be players in the future of finance.

BenniBoom707

Here is the 1 year growth for the top 10 Alt Cryptos (no Meme Coins included): 1. ETH- 53% 2. BNB- 90% 3. XRP- 385% 4. SOL- 10% 5. TRX- 77% 6. ADA- 69% 7. HYPE- 1230% 8. LINK- 51% 9. XLM- 225% 10. HBAR- 325% Bitcoin is up about 58% in the last year. 7 out of 10 of these Alt Coins outperformed Bitcoin, and a few of them extremely outperformed Bitcoin. Bitcoin is great for a store of value and it will always go up overtime, but you will have the largest gains investing into Top Altcoin projects. Last year, instead of buying Bitcoin, you could have diversified into these ten projects and beaten Bitcoin by far. Also would have been a lower risk investment because not all of your eggs would be in one basket.

Tigernoodles1

It’s not the worst time since alts have been getting pummeled I just wouldn’t shill on xrp. Long term BTC, ETH, LINK, ADA, HBAR, AVAX is a pretty safe portfolio

Hot-Efficiency7190

A note that tokenisation does not transfer much value to the token(s) managing the chain. There will be some utility factor and fees, small margins. Look at NASDAQ for comparion, companies on exchange worth $35tn, NDAQ company running the exchange is \~$49bn. That's a factor of 730. Sure this still gives large head room, if all stocks gets tokenised and double globally, some major chain+LINK running the tokanised system might see a 30-40x to match that factor. Ideas of 500x should be left to this weeks $1m memecoin.

Supreme-Muffinator

You're basically describing what most long-term investors eventually figure out. BTC and ETH are your "sleep well at night" assets, everything else is lottery tickets. I still hold some SOL and LINK, but the bulk of my portfolio sits on Nexo earning steadily. Simpler, safer, and I don't get distracted by noise.

Just_Brief_7394

No, it's not "the same as stocks"... If I put $10,000 into Microsoft, there's no chance that in 10 years I'll have $0... and there's a high probability of a 5x return... In contrast, with 95% of cryptocurrencies, the probability of it going to $0 is very high... So if I'm going to take that risk, I expect at least a 500x return... If Microsoft can achieve a 5x return, and Ethereum a 10/20x return... why should I settle for LINK achieving a 20x return by accepting more risk? If LINK doesn't achieve a 500x return in the next 10 years, it's a complete failure... so, I'll just invest $200 in LINK and that's it...

Hot-Efficiency7190

Nothing mentioned is going to do a 500x. Some might do 5x - 10x long term. Some will do some x before -90%. Along with foundational tech like ETH and LINK, look at projects with real use and revenue or potential for it, like you would a business. Like Hype or Uniswap. Those are the ones that will make the most in the long run.

Screwa925

This cycle has made me a BTC Maxi. 2021 I got wrecked in the euphoria stage but learned about the crypto cycle. I been accumulating ETH since it dropped to 1200. I also got a fat bag of VET, LINK, FET, and SOL. The best asset, surprisingly, has been SOL. Everything thing else, even ETH, has WAY underperformed BTC. I am cycling out of my Alts and sticking with strictly BTC going forward

Cold_Designer2171

$LINK is still so slept on despite everything going on behind the scenes. Literal gem in the making.

gvozdeni88

I’m still up as my avg on BTC is 90k and LINK 14 But it very near at no profit at all Think I’ll ride the storm out

Gig-a-bit

Got ETH @ $14-$20ish sold half around $4500. HODL the rest. Got DOGE @ 0.0007 - 0.001 (using spare change left over from BTC purchases. Accumulated enough to give each of my 3 children 25k DOGE each as a Christmas gift. One of them still HODL today. LINK @ 0.9016 still holding.

arcrenciel

What does VeChain do that other chains don't? Is that usecase seeing traction? BTC was the first digital gold. People are still buying and hodling it as a hedge against fiat devaluation. ETH was the first programmable money, that makes defi possible. Defi is growing everyday, and a large portion of it still happens on ETH. LINK powers all the oracles being used in defi. Monero was the first privacy chain, and is used to this day by privacy conscious people. See the pattern? The coins that survive for more then one or two bull cycles, are the ones that offers something unique. If your coin is copycat number 21345193425 of BTC/ETH/LINK etc, then it will just be replaced by the newest copycat of the newest bull cycle.

Remote_Dance8838

Honestly, the best thing to do is to buy BTC, ETH, and LINK and just forget about them for the next four years. It’s not easy, but mental health matters too. There are too many liquidations, too much bad news from Trump, one day it’s good with China, the next it’s total war… what a chaotic time to invest…

> Alts are maybe struggling for people who bought them at ATH, but if you look at the lows across time You are looking at lows across time in October 2025 with the knowledge of where you know the lows are. People buy shitcoins when they are undervalued like DOT at $24, ADA at $1.15, LINK at $27, etc. They don't know that these are NOT the lows at that time. Then people go back and fictionalize that they timed the market and bought most of their coins at lows. To make money on coins that are not appreciating long term you have to have impeccable timing and and a crystal ball to tell you to buy the low and sell the high.

Don’t do anything outside of top 10 coins on [Coin Market Cap](https://coinmarketcap.com) if you will hold for 1+ years. Everything outside of top 10 eventually loses. Where? Depend where you’re from, if US, then Coinbase. If rest of the world, avoid Binance like the plague after the 10 October crap where they didn’t let us buy or sell during a market crash. I recommend OKX or Kraken Pro if you’re in the UK. Personally I’m with OKX. Keep your funds on the exchange until you learn how to store on a cold wallet or better, hardware wallet since it’s 20k (Buy a Trezor because it’s open source). But a few advices for when you go off exchange: Never give your seed phrase to anyone. Never interact with trading bots. Don’t do leverage no matter how confident you are. You’ll get rekt. Buy coins and hold. Don’t sell any random coins you get on your wallet from unknown senders, they have a hidden smart contract that will empty your wallet. But for real, buy on an exchange and just get a trezor hardware wallet to have peace of mind. It’s just $€50 to save 20k. As for coins to buy, like I said, top 10 only. Top 15 maybe if you feeling cheeky. Must have some sort of BTC. ETH is solid. Fundamental. SOL, I never believed in it, pumps shitcoins everyday and had a lot of outages but it’s top 10 and getting a foothold in crypto. XRP, unmmmmm can’t recommend really. LINK despite being top 15 not 10, is my highest recommendation. Swift dumped XRP, they’re developing their own thing, but they will still use LINK to connect. BNB never. I will never invest in an exchange’s coin. The my control 80% of the supply. They caused the latest market crash due to USDe depegging, didn’t happen anywhere else, they profited the most from it. It depegged right when the tarrif announcement happened and Baron Trump was shorting the market. Then CEO gets pardoned by Trump for all previous legal stuff. Sounds fishy. I’d avoid anything related to Binance. OKX / Kraken Pro / Coinbase + Trezor Hardware Wallet. 80% Link 20% BTC. Move to hardware wallet. Forget 3 years then check.

Ibuywarthundermaus

I have a friend who really believes into Bittensor, I thought about buying some but that would not really make sense now because I decided to only hold BTC, ETH, SOL and LINK from now on. The only scenario where Bittensor blows up is if a widespread adoption of their platform happens and with the imminent burst of the AI Bubble I don’t feel like risking my money on that now.

moonman82

I believe LINK will

DaddyDontTakeNoMess

No doubt. i'm not trying to shit on the potential of alt coins. They can run, but I'd have my money in something other than LINK (personally). Good luck. I would expect it to get back to ATH if we have a bullrun. I just dont think its as attaractive as other offerings.

ThriceHawk

I guess I've been seeing the opposite market sentiment (outside of the obvious macro downturn we've had). A lot of people are waking up to the BS from Ripple and seeing how TradFi is really building things out. They also released their Chainlink Reserve a couple months ago and have been buying ~$1 million in LINK weekly since then. The tokenomics are directly tied to Chainlink's usage. They have all of these partnerships/integrations, but those companies haven't scaled yet. Legislation is still pending and those companies are building out their plumbing. What happens when SWIFT, JP Morgan, Citi, Fidelity, etc. have moved to digital asset/stablecoin usage and it's all connected to Chainlink like we're currently seeing built? I'm betting more about what I'm seeing from an infrastructure/traditional finance perspective than short-term retail sentiment.

coinluv

I can speak from experience. In 2017 I traded my Bitcoin(s) for all these great Alt coins and ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings). They went up and bust. After mourning my losses I started over in 2020. By strictly DCAing BTC I built a strong foundation that I don’t touch put in cold storage and it has consistently gone up and outperformed my stock. Now I do have a little “Vegas” fund to gamble with so I can FOMO and so far I’ve done well with XRP. I bought it @ .75. The others are; SOL, HBAR, LINK, XLM. I traded my ETH for ZBCN. Like I said this is my gambling pot. If they go up I’ll convert them for BTC. Some will win, some won’t, but my BTC stack will continue to go up.

DaddyDontTakeNoMess

Not really (unless youre cherrypicking a particular day). Chainlink has done a 2x in 2 years. BTC has done a 3.5x in the same period. It doesn't make sense to hold LINK imo. I was a big LINK bag holder, but the project doesn't have good price action, and isn't worth the hold. It's down like 70% off its ATH, meanwhile BTC is like 8% off its ATH, and ETH is about 20% off (or so). If you want a more aggressive alt, SOL is down about 25% off its ATH and I expect it to run if we get an alt season. I'm saying this because LINK can be a trap for people because they think "it has great utility, so it will be around for a long time". But its a money trap. It might do a 3x this alt season, but other alts will do more, without the long term volatility.

Oneirowout

Sadly you seem to be right. Chainlink is really important, but LINK less so.

ThriceHawk

LINK. Partnered with SWIFT, the DTCC, JP Morgan, Citi, US Bank, Bank of America, Fidelity, Euroclear, BNP Paribas, SBI, UBS, Mastercard, Coinbase, the US Department of Commerce... Outside of BTC and ETH, it's the safest bet. No other project can list partnerships/integrations like the above.

I wish LINK would do that, but...erhm...nopahhh! Wish it had gone from whatever it was to $100. Even then it's never going to be enough to do much with such a tiny stack, but it's performed OK considering it's supply has expanded over the years. What happens if the supply is finally exhausted and there are no more reserves to unlock...?

penarhw

That’s a solid starter mix, you’ve got the majors (btc, eth) anchoring the volatility and a few midcaps like RUNE and LINK for upside. If you’re moving between chains anyway, you could even bridge part of it into the CoreDAO ecosystem, there’s a $10k USDC rewards pool running right now for swaps into Core.

Wtf. 2% every hour is NOT normal at all it's a blatant bug that scammed you. I'd contact support because the amount you lost is insane. The LINK funding fee on Hyperliquid is 0.0013% per hour and 0.0009% on binance

ADA doesn't do anything unique that can't be done with SOL . I'd add to this list. XMR, LINK, UNI, and HBAR

While LINK and SUI still performed OK but I think ANKR failed miserably, glad they are now correcting the stuff up, they did a lot of changes recently and I hope their new chain Neura will do good where they have ANKR as a gas token support. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Good mix overall. The core (BTC, ETH) gives you long-term security, while $SOL, $LINK and $AAVE add real utility exposure. $TRX and $RUNE can be volatile maybe cap those under 5%

Got in late and personally not much of a speculator. So when I was learning about crypto it was just before the gov double circulation so the limits on BTC are why I stayed in that segment so long. It wasn’t until a few years ago I started diversifying with LTC, LINK, ETH and a few others either for utility or just belief in the project. But as soon as it was accessible to the market overall I know it was gonna just normalize with other markets. Never really got the meme coins and stuff. But I don’t like betting or gambling for fun so that’s not my thing. BTC is a crypto. It’s a different asset class. But I get your point. It’s on the path and now just gonna be manipulated by financial institutions. It’s basically a replacement for bonds in my portfolio just to buy and hold.

Different-Thanks-431

I actually think it will be the time for pump as which could start a next year bull run. Stacked up some more SOL, AIOZ and LINK to my bags as i feel bullish.

whataboutbenson

The tokenomics and funding are too opaque. Earlier this year they revealed that they are making millions in off chain revenue for their services, meanwhile the token has done nothing, so the token really isn't needed. I understand it still needs to be staked for the protocol to work, and that those who stake get paid in link, but what stops them from immediately selling for fiat? It's not clear what the fair value of one token actually is in terms of its value to the operation of chainlink. It might be $0.04 per token for all anyone knows. Aside from that, I'd say their marketing and the timing of their announcements around the token are too slick, too well-timed relative to what else is going on in the markets. I think it's a sophisticated pump and dump scheme, just like any other alt. Just my instinct, but it's backed up by the fact that LINK has gone nowhere while Chainlink has gone from strength to strength. If I could buy stock in Chainlink, I would. But the token is shady.

Or do you see SOL taking over and leaving ETH in the past as it seems inefficient compared to SOL at least to a crypto casual.

Im new to crypto but all spaces seem to hate on link perpetually, about how its all shills and people begging others to buy their bags. Drilled a negative idea of LINK in my mind. Ill look more into it...

MaximumStudent1839

> OP should simply consider how much he believes he will hold these coins for the next 10 years. Isn't that what I tried to help in explaining? OP wanted to invest in SOL for scalability. I explained that its use of sidechains and network extension is putting its monolithic approach in question. OP wanted to invest in interoperability. I told him, LINK interoperability is more hype than substance at this moment. Yes, he should invest in what he believes in. But he needs to be informed about what is really happening on the ground so he can make an informed decision on what to believe in.

MaximumStudent1839

> long-term potential A bunch of randoms running sub-par algos on the TAO subnet doesn't make it the "future of AI". And no long-term portfolio should have a farm token! Aero is a farm token. XRP is the very definition of hype - I don't know why you say, "I'm not trying to chase hype coins." > scalable ecosystems No one knows what the future scaling will end up. Even Solana is pivoting to off-chain stuff for its perp dex shits. You should focus more on tokenomics, avoid highly inflationary tokens for a long-term portfolio. And Solana has one of the highest inflation rates among the top L1s. > interoperability Most of the working interoperability in crypto doesn't even use Link. It is more of a narrative now and "testing phase for institutions", for LINK. > might still be relevant in 2035+ You realize this industry's history is just 17 years? And you are asking what will be relevant 10 years from now?

TacticalP00P

Markets been tough lately. But if/when I add to positions it’s been BTC,ETH, and LINK. LINK is my vote.

nugymmer

This time we had an ATH pre-halving. Might not be any different this time but you never know. Things are developing with certain crypto projects (especially ETH and LINK) and aside from BTC they are quite promising even if they haven’t been performing as well due to institutional demand via the ETFs.

Significant_Grab_173

That happened because you didnt had a strong enough safe net and I get that but hear me out, start only with BTC and ETH for a couple of months (id go 65% BTC 35% ETH) and only when you have a good foundation (according to your monthly budget) start to dip your legs into 1-3 additional coins, only with small allocations, no more than 20-30% of your portfolio, that way you will "never" (such a wrong word in the crypto space) lose everything to 0 again. My coins of interest are BTC+ETH, QNT+LINK, TAO+KAS. I treat them as pairs because every pair is meant to cover a role in my portfolio. DYOR while you build your safe net foundation and only then invest in other coins, after a good research, prepared by knowing it could all go south again.

Appropriate-Talk-735

I think it depends how often you want to trade them. The more often you want to buy and sell the smaller coins you can go into. The 100% BTC is good for 10 year without trading. You say you prefer stable investments so I would suggest: 60% BTC 15% ETH 15% SOL 5% HBAR 5% LINK

Electrical_Main_4253

Right now some solid alt picks are ETH, SOL, AVAX, LINK, and INJ. They’ve got strong ecosystems and real use cases. I’m also watching newer ones like TAO and ARB for momentum plays.

ThriceHawk

LINK far and away #1. Shouldn't even be an alt but is still way undervalued. Co-founder Sergey Nazarov was the only crypto speaker invited to the Federal Reserve's Payments Innovation Conference today.

yomamapussey

Just DCA in BTC/ETH/LINK and let it sit. Also split into S&P500 and let it sit. If you have enough on the side, on potential lows, dump in some more. If I would understand this 10 years ago, i'd be in bahamas with 10 bitches on yacht, instead of quitting crypto because i wanted overnight success.

NewcastlePLchamps

No, I’m comparing actual volume on chain between the two chains. XRPL has 5x the 24hr volume that LINK does. I brought up a comment made at the conference answering the question of whether SWIFT would be able to modernize faster than competitors. The panelist didn’t think so, that is all. You can draw whatever conclusions you want from the invitees. I was not commenting on that

Every one of these LINK posts are basically Exhibit A of crypto neckbeards desperately trying to pump their lame token. As if any amount of eyes reading it here will translate into meaningful price action. Just pathetic.

tldr; Bitcoin has shown unexpected stability amidst global tensions, particularly due to eased relations with China, reducing sell-off pressures. Over the weekend, Bitcoin maintained calm above $105,000, curbing weekly losses to 4%. Altcoins like DOGE, XRP, SOL, ETH, and LINK showed slight recoveries, with some top-performing cryptocurrencies gaining significantly. If Bitcoin closes above $110,700, it could target higher levels, potentially boosting oversold altcoins. The total crypto market capitalization remains below $3.65 trillion, with cautious optimism prevailing. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Personally I have a long term HODL portfolio just for $BTC $ETH $LINK and $AAVE. I DCA into that each week. But with the active trading portfolio is where I’m not looking at holding my position for over a year and simply sell off when I’m done. These can be held for a couple of months to 6.

I’m 49 and have 75% stocks and 25% crypto. I feel some of these crypto applications may turn out successful. I’m betting on Ethereum but keeping a close eye on other crypto technologies that may be more efficient down the road. Just feel that most companies are going to use ethereum to build on over the next 5-10 years. At some point, I expect to see some competition but believe for now, ethereum has the short term benefit as far as usability for the near future. 80% of my crypto is ethereum and 20% bitcoin. I also have a bit of BNB, LINK, HYPE and QNT.

BTC must be the main allocation. ETH 2nd and 3rd SOL it is fine to bet on some alts like AVAX , LINK or HEDERA but must be small because you dont know if they will actually succeed.

There are other altcoins worth holding than just BTC and LINK, like ETH and SOL for example. The coins I would consider holding for the long haul are: BTC, ETH (these are the top two), SOL, XRP, and LINK.

First, you need to *understand what a portfolio is* A portfolio ideally should have *different asset classes that perform differently under different market conditions.* So a portfolio should consist of stocks, bonds (treasuries for me), real estate, maybe Gold and maybe Bitcoin. You might hold individual stocks what you follow because different companies can have different fundamentals, revenue growth, etc. In your portfolio, BTC is a diversifier that hopefully gives you out-peformance in a portfolio of traditional assets which you should be owning anyway. *A portfolio doesn't mean holding an assortment of Alts, the vast majority of which lose money and/or massively underperform BTC.* **An Alt provides zero additional diversification to your portfolio if you already have BTC.** *Alts generally have a correlation coeffieent of ~0.90 and just follow BTC up and down and inherently have no fundamental value in themselves.* BTC like Gold is also speculative and doesn't have fundamentals but **Alts are double speculation** - they just follow BTC movements, so BTC has to move up and you have to hope the Alt follows BTC up, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't and most of the time they lose massive value against BTC in the long run. Holding these for meme narratives and use cases provides no additional diversification to BTC and only contribute to underpeformance and lag in your portfolio long term. - ETH ₿ high was .0.15 in June 2017.
