Is crypto diversification important

Found this interesting read earlier today:

Just Diversify? With Crypto Portfolios, It's Not So Simple - CoinDesk

I disagree with any assertion that diversifying into multiple different cryptos makes a difference. One of the comments in the article is that 90% could go away, therefore you should own a bunch to make sure you have some winners.

This author tends to agree with my view.

Math tells me that if only 1 in 10 of my holdings survive and the rest drop precipitously by 80% or more, then my winners have to see greater that 900% gains for my overall portfolio to show any gain. I’m not willing to take these huge crypto investment risks and then hope a few hit 10x returns. Even then my overall crypto return would be minimal.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

The writer seems to agree with you about that though.

Doesn’t seem like crypto diversification matters right now. Everything is down big time. You could’ve just held bitcoin solely and done better in 2018.

Of course no one knows if that will be true next month or next year.

Its always good to have a diversified portfolio. Mixture of large caps and small caps, so if any of the ones go wrong, you are saved by the other one.
