Sunday Tip Always keep 10% of your portfolio in stablecoins. Don’t think of it as a waste—that 10% is pure optionality. It’s your first line of defense when the unexpected happens. In the crypto world, the most asymmetric opportunities never announce themselves. They demand speed, they demand decisiveness. If you don’t keep stablecoins, every time an opportunity arises, you’ll have to make two decisions: 1. Is this trade worth it? 2. Which position do I need to cut to free up funds? Two decisions mean two moments of hesitation. And with one extra moment of hesitation, the opportunity slips away. What’s worse, human pride gets in the way. Selling at a loss means admitting you were wrong, and no one likes admitting they were wrong. So while you’re arguing with yourself, the opportunity is gone. But if you always keep that 10%, the path is clear: Just one decision, just one action. While others are still stunned, you’ve already pulled the trigger. That’s why this 10% must be long-term and non-negotiable. If you use it, replenish it—always keep bullets in the chamber. Over time, you’ll realize: That 10% flexibility is often worth more than the remaining 90% of your returns. The crypto market is an infinite game. But without bullets, you’re not even qualified to keep playing.
