1️⃣ Portfolio Construction
🔹 Core-Satellite: 70% BTC + stables, 30% alts.
🔹 Max 5% per altcoin. No oversizing.

2️⃣ Watch BTC Dominance
📊 Don’t buy alts when BTC.D is rebounding.
💡 Best entry = high dominance ready to drop → alt rally!

3️⃣ Go for High-Volume Alts
💰 Only >$5M daily volume.
🚫 Low-liquidity = big slippage, hard to exit.

4️⃣ Have an Exit Strategy
🎯 Sell alts when cycle ends—most won’t survive bear markets.
🌙 Moonbag: sell 50% after +100%.
📈 Exit grid: sell gradually at key levels.

👉 Risk management = survival = profit.
