I am a newbie and would like to invest $1000 to start. I have read that I should put 40 percent into bitcoin and diversify the other 60 percent. I need opinions, advice, and anything from those with experience of positive value. 
I was wrong before thinking that if I put huge shares in Altcoins I'll be earning more but sadly most of my altcoins dump while Bitcoin is on the surge. I do realize that putting more on Bitcoin is a smart decision and suggesting that instead of allocating 60% to altcoins, you'd better make it to invest in Bitcoin while 40% is for altcoins. Bitcoin is the most reliable asset in crypto, you can't be wrong with that even putting everything into this project as this will survive and potentially considered as a long-term investment.
