How to Build a "Core and Satellite" Portfolio
A "Core and Satellite" strategy is a great way to balance safety and growth in crypto. Your "Core" should consist of 70-80% of your portfolio in high-conviction, large-cap assets like BTC and ETH. These provide stability and long-term growth. The remaining 20-30% is your "Satellite" portion, where you can take higher risks on airdrop farming, memecoins, or new L1/L2 ecosystems. This way, even if your high-risk bets go to zero, your main wealth is still protected by the core holdings. It allows you to participate in the excitement of the market without gambling your entire financial future.
