Uuumm...no..if you have 1 BTC do NOT invest 100% of in a coin that is "over-sold" - there is no true demand for these markets besides, Bitcoin and maybe...lite or doge

I have a problem with a few of the things you said

don't invest more than 20% of your portfolio in one coin

Where does this 20% figure come from? Out of every number you could have used you settled with 20%? Is this some type of magic number or something?

When Goldman Sachs buys $40 Billion worth of oil do you think they are worried about whether or not they are risking "20%" of their "portfolio"?

Im just trying to understand the thinking behind this special 20% number

never put all of your eggs in one basket. I have found good profits with 1 BTC, from investing .2 BTC in 3 coins I like and saving .4 liquid BTC.

"good profits" is a very subjective statement

When i trade I want the biggest bang for my buck so if I am afraid of losing then I don't trade. There is no pussy footing about trying to take smaller bets to compensate for sloppy trading

you should only trade when you are dead sure that you are on the heels of a big move and have several indicators confirming your theory. Then you can put on the big money trades and also rake in larger profits

The only reason you would pussy foot around and take some pathetic .2 BTC trade is when your fear overpowers your confidence (or lack of) in which case that would mean that you really shouldn't be trading at all

If you take 1 BTC and only invest .2 here and there in a bunch of coins that "you like" how is that a more superior strategy than say putting 1 BTC into a coin that you have researched and ran analysis on? I'm interested to hear your theory on this, because A 40% return on 1 BTC is .4 BTC, the same return on .2 is .08

That's like throwing a hand full of gravel at a bird. You will probably kill the bird but only after several failed attempts and you will need a whole lot of gravel and arm strength to do that. But if you throw one humungous stone at that same bird you can kill it with one shot
