In his latest thought piece, Cryptology CEO
@Patrick_Lowry_
argues the merits of diversification in crypto.
#Bitcoin
is undeniably the leading digital store of value, but it is wise to not sleep on Altcoins like
#ETH
,
#EOS
and
#BNB
where excellent returns are being made. in 2021
#Bitcoin
may be king, but Altcoins like
#ETH
,
#BTT
,
#EOS
and
#BNB
are the big winners in 2021!
Conviction is a great trait but it leads to lumpsum risk. Diversification in
#crypto
is the best strategy. More of my thoughts in the latest Iconic Insider...
