Financial markets are characterized by a cyclical nature, i.e. the alternating periods of boom and bust lasting from several to several years, depending on the type of market and the macroeconomic situation. For this reason, better returns on investment are often achieved by patient, long-term investors, because even in the event of a loss on a given asset, they can still make up for it after the next bull market. A completely different pressure is on a person who has put all their money into a risky investment and cannot take it out without a large loss than on someone who has invested 10 percent. its portfolio, but the remaining 90 percent. still profitable.
Especially a beginner should not have more than 5-10 percent. risky assets (I mean, first of all, cryptocurrencies and derivatives, e.g. futures and options), and only on the condition that she counts on their total loss and has carefully read the available information about them. Too often, inexperienced investors succumb to greed and end up making many wrong decisions. In this way, they become capital givers for more experienced players on the market. Therefore, for their own safety and mental balance, they should not throw all their money into risky assets, because in the event of a total loss of funds, they will need time to rebuild capital and start over.
Everyone should assess their level of experience and risk appetite for themselves. And above all, you should educate yourself on an ongoing basis and invest only as much as you can lose, remembering that it is only money, and our health and mental balance are much more important than them.

Most investors recognize the importance of diversification in their portfolios. They know that it can be risky to concentrate their investments in one particular area. But not all investors find it important to invest in diversified companies.
Diversification is very important because it allows you to avoid losing 100% of your capital in the event of some unsuccessful investment. If, say, you divide your wallet in half: gold and bitcoin, then if bitcoin drops 10% and gold gains, you will be 0. If bitcoin drops and the price of gold does not change, you will only lose 10%, not 20 as if you had invested in bitcoin alone.
