Portfolio
The full set of assets one person or fund holds, viewed together as a single position.
Your portfolio is everything you own, coins, tokens, stablecoins, maybe staked positions, and how they're weighted matters more than any single pick. A portfolio that's 95% one meme coin is a bet, not a strategy.
Diversifying across assets, and keeping some in stablecoins or cash, smooths the ride and limits the damage when one position goes to zero. Sizing is the part most newcomers ignore.
