the correlation between bitcoins and the alt coins is very high. That is why our investment into crypto currencies should be a large part into bitcoins. The diversification doesn't really work here, but it works in a broader spectrum like you diversify out of stocks, bonds and other investment funds. So bitcoin alone is already a diversification from your conventional assets. In my opinion diversification becomes important again when investing into alt coins, because when one alt coin is going to drop in price then this is not pulling down any of the other coins. Alt coins are much more risky and if we spread out our money across multiple coins the risk profile is much lower.

I would say that large part of it should be bitcoin because for me that is the only coin that I feel guaranteed to be strong and not have any problems and have the highest trust. Don't get me wrong ETH is great and all, and there are a few others, but BTC still is the coin that I trust the most.

Not because it would be the biggest earner, let's be honest in any given year there are other coins which gained a lot more than bitcoin ever did, we have seen 100x stuff in other places, bitcoin rarely ever does 100x in a single year, maybe on early times but not sure even if that happened. So all in all for me we should invest into bitcoin because we trust it the most, not because it will earn us the most.
