Here's how I'm positioning my portfolio heading into 2026. The conviction play remains Bitcoin dominance—it's still the most resilient asset class in this cycle, so I'm keeping a meaningful allocation there. Ethereum gets the second-largest slice; even with all the noise around L2s, the core network effects remain solid. Then I'm diversifying across smaller-cap Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions that have genuine adoption metrics, not just hype. A chunk goes into DeFi primitives—lending protocols, DEXs, yield farming infrastructure that actually generates cash flows. I'm also holding some alt L1s that solved real scalability problems, plus a tactical position in emerging narrative plays that could surprise. The rest stays in stablecoins for dry powder to accumulate dips. Risk management means no single position blows up my thesis if it goes to zero. It's not about chasing every hot token—it's about structural bets on infrastructure that'll still matter when this bull run cools.

It sounds pretty much like my approach—avoiding hot trend coins and focusing on those with solid fundamentals. I'm also holding BTC as my main position, ETH in second place, and the rest are carefully selected L1/L2 projects with real users, not just hype. I really respect the strategy of using stablecoins as a reserve, waiting for a pullback before entering again.

Valuable insights, this logic is the clearest... Much better than those who shout "All in" on a certain coin every day.

It's the same old story... BTC will never waver, ETH as the second option, then all in on infrastructure narratives. It sounds reasonable, but how many can really hold out until the next bear market?

BTC is still king. However, those overlooked small coins are often the ones that truly make money. The original poster's approach is solid and steady; now it's just about execution.

The combination of BTC and ETH is still awesome, but I'm just worried it will end up a mess in the end.

ngl this is exactly the playbook i wish i had before i got liquidated twice lol... the "dry powder for dips" part hits different when you've actually panic sold at the bottom. respect the discipline tho, most people can't stick to it when alts moon 50x

Listen, I have to say this approach still has some merit, but I've always felt that hoarding too much dry powder is a bit of a waste... At this point, can holding stablecoins really help you weather the storm?
