Yeah, it's the same with making investments. As Iwillgotothemoon said, that can help reduce risks while trading and keep you safe from losing everything. Some people even ask about how many coins traders should have in their portfolios. Well, as many as they can afford to buy. I have only btc and eth and sometimes I exchange btc for xrp on CEX (
