We’ve all heard the stories about how cryptocurrency is going to cause the largest transfer of wealth that the world has seen in recent history that the people who’ve been investing in this market consistently for the last few years will reap the rewards and be able to change their lives forever.

That all sounds incredible; however, there is something that you won’t hear as often in this market.

Even though you’ve been investing in crypto for years, it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be successful in this market. Everything depends on the crypto projects that you choose to put into your portfolio.

Never forget the fact investing in crypto is extremely risky. We all dream about riches that we could make during the bull cycle, yet there is a very real possibility that your coins could go to zero. Never invest more than you are willing to lose.

Ever since I began investing in this market, one of my favorite things was always to see how other people built their cryptocurrency portfolios.

My Portfolio Philosophy

To better understand why my portfolio is the way it is, it’s important that I first share my crypto portfolio philosophy with you.

The first thing you need to know is that I’ve been very fortunate to do well in this market. Even if a crypto token is only a small percentage of my portfolio, it actually is a significant amount of money. The second important detail is that I like to keep my portfolio very conservative compared to most in this market. I have built the foundation of my portfolio to a certain point where I’m perfectly fine with achieving lower growth in order to have a portfolio that I feel will stand the test of time.

With that said, it doesn’t mean that I’m not willing to take risks, and I have changed up my portfolio several times over the years.

Coins I’ve Recently Ditched

Since the last cycle there were several cryptocurrency projects that I invested into that for one reason or another I decided to get rid of.

Some of these projects include Cardano, Polkadot, Chainlink, Polygon, Avalanche, Litecoin, Arbitrum, Eigen, Scroll, and the list goes on. Just because I got rid of them doesn't mean that they won’t be successful in the future. As time went on, I just had less conviction and enthusiasm for these assets.

Without further delay, let’s dig into my crypto portfolio for this bull cycle.

4. Internet Computer = 1.25%

For many, Internet Computer Protocol being included in my portfolio will be very surprising. It is the riskiest play by far in my portfolio. There is no denying that ICP has some glaring areas it needs to work. However, the tech of this blockchain arguably eclipses anything else in this market. It also wouldn’t be a stretch to call ICP the most ambitious crypto project.

Completely trying to build its own internet fully on chain. Running AI fully on chain, games fully on chain, and the list goes on. It currently boasts the fastest TPS in crypto and also features reverse gas fees, which is something that really could appeal to the mainstream.

With all of that said, up until now, it has had a difficult time gaining adoption, and that remains its biggest hurdle. In my mind, I have already decided this will either be a home run that could really add to my portfolio, or it will eventually fade away and become nothing. I’ve already accepted both outcomes.

3. Solana = 3.25%

My third largest position is Solana. I was extremely lucky to begin buying when Solana was at its lowest after the FTX lows.

For over a year, Solana had experienced every type of the worst possible FUD. Yet the Solana community remained, and the crypto community continued to constantly talk about it. Most other projects would have died and faded away, yet Solana was different.

At the time, Solana was still having trouble staying active, but I was still very excited by the technology of the blockchain. A layer 1 that was extremely cheap and fast seemed very appealing after the high Ethereum gas fees from the last cycle.

And so I began investing in Solana, viewing it as a backup plan just in case Ethereum would ever lose momentum.

2. Ethereum = 8.5%

Next, Ethereum comes in as my second-largest crypto position.

Ever since I began buying Ethereum when its price was in the $60 range, there have always been doubts surrounding it. The first was that it was never going to be able to merge into ETH 2.0 successfully. However, time after time, Ethereum always continues to prove its critics wrong.

During the last few weeks, it seems that the entire crypto market has turned against ETH largely due to its lack of price movement. Bitcoin has eclipsed $70k, yet Ethereum is still hovering in the $2.5k range. People have forgotten that this is how Ethereum performs every cycle. Bitcoin moves first, and once it has run out of gas during its first run-up, that is when Ethereum begins to go parabolic. We will be reaching that period very soon. I have full conviction that not only Ethereum is here to stay, but it will continue to thrive.

While ETH currently makes up 8.5% of my portfolio, I expect this to jump up higher once it begins to outperform other assets in my portfolio.

1. Bitcoin = 87%

Finally, we have reached the largest position in my portfolio: Bitcoin. This will be no shock to those who have been reading my articles for any length of time.

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency that I purchased, and also the one that made me fall down the rabbit hole of this entire market. It is the one that I have the most conviction in, and also the only cryptocurrency that I believe you NEED to own.

It appears that all of the cards are lining up for Bitcoin to do something incredibly special this cycle. While most cryptocurrencies are concerned about the price going up or keeping up with the newest trends in the market. Bitcoin is here for the long game and has nation-state adoption on its mind.

This bull cycle will be a lot of fun to watch just how high Bitcoin’s price will go.

I fully admit that the portfolio I have set up won’t be the highest performing around, but I still think it will do very well. It includes the projects that I’m the most passionate about, which makes being involved in this market much more enjoyable for me. With that said, there are a ton of other crypto projects that will perform spectacularly this cycle. Just because I don’t own them, doesn't mean that you shouldn’t. There is a lot of money to be made in this market, you just have to find the right project.

How about you? What coins are in your crypto portfolio this cycle?
