 <p class="paragraph">In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency trading, navigating all the different digital assets can be a challenging task, particularly as thousands of altcoins are vying for attention and it is difficult to ignore the noise to focus on those that represent the most promising investments.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">With this in mind, seasoned crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe has offered a couple of strong examples of what an optimal beginner’s $1,000 altcoin portfolio should comprise, uncovering valuable lessons and potential opportunities for both novice and experienced investors in the crypto sector.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-choosing-top-altcoins-to-buy">Choosing top altcoins to buy</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">As van de Poppe explained, crafting an ideal altcoin portfolio includes deciding on two crypto segments at maximum and choosing between eight and ten altcoins, or ideally, a maximum of four altcoins per segment. Out of those four, two should be big allocations and two small allocations.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Specifically, the two big allocations should come from the top five altcoins in the particular segment, whereas the two small allocations should be altcoins from outside the top five – that would mean four big allocations and four small allocations. According to the crypto trading expert:</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“For a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="portfolio" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/portfolio.html">portfolio</a>, my suggestion would be the big allocations between 15% and 20% per allocation and the small allocations between 5% and 10%, which means you’re going to get to 100%, and if you want to keep like 1% to 3% into micro-gems, you can do it – those are sub-$100 million, and should be the micro caps.”</p>
 </blockquote>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-best-altcoins-to-buy-now">Best altcoins to buy now</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">For example, van de Poppe has offered two scenarios and picked out the specific categories and altcoins he would choose if he were making his first $1,000 altcoin portfolio, with different allocations for those assets depending on the particular scenario.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In the first scenario, he picked the DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) for the primary and Layer 2 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="altcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/altcoin.html">altcoin</a>s for the second category.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">From the DePIN category, the expert chose two top altcoins – Filecoin (FIL) and Akash Network (AKT) – and allocated 15% of the portfolio to each, as well as took two ‘outsiders’ – Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) or IOTA (MIOTA) and Golem (GLM) or IoTeX (IOTX) with 10% each.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">As for the Layer 2 category, van de Poppe picked out Polygon (MATIC) and Arbitrum (ARB) from the top five to assign 15% of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="portfolio" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/portfolio.html">portfolio</a> to each, respectively, as well as deciding on SKALE (SKL) and Cartesi (CTSI) as <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="altcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/altcoin.html">altcoin</a>s outside of the top five to allocate 10% to each of them.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">His second scenario focuses on slightly different allocation percentages, this time choosing the metaverse and non-fungible token (NFT) categories.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Specifically, the professional crypto trader chose Sandbox (SAND) and Axie Infinity (AXS) from the metaverse category to receive 20% each, with Vulcan Forged (PYR), the native token of the eponymous game studio, and Magic (MAGIC), the utility token of the Treasure Metaverse, only getting 5% each.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">At the same time, the NFT category got 20% each for Internet Computer (ICP) and ImmutableX (IMX), while Decentraland (MANA) and ApeCoin (APE) received an allocation of 5% each, as the best <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="altcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/altcoin.html">altcoin</a>s to buy outside of the top five range.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
