I built almost 90% of portfolio based on my research. I mean its good to have some feedbacks from other people especially those who are more knowledgeable about the market. This is especially true for small cap tokens. Because they are small cap, not many have information on them. Or theres public information but nobody cares about it or spreads it really slowly. Its good to put some basic assets such as Bitcoin and Ether to balance against potential downfall. Some thether is good too.
