Quick note on allocations

Suggestions are educational examples

Allocations depend on goals, time horizon, savings buffer, and how you react to volatility. The quiz provides a starting point you can refine as you learn, not a guarantee of outcomes.

Interactive risk tolerance quiz

Answer a few beginner-friendly questions. We will suggest an educational allocation mix and the next guide to read. Use this to reduce guesswork and build a plan you can stick to.

1) If your portfolio dropped 25% in a month, what would you do?

Sell most of it
I would not be able to sleep. I want lower volatility. Hold and wait
I can tolerate a drawdown if I have a plan. Buy a bit more
I can handle volatility and I think long-term.

2) What is your time horizon for this crypto portfolio?

Less than 1 year
I may need the money relatively soon. 1 to 3 years
I can be patient, but I still care about big swings. 3+ years
I can ride out cycles and stick to a schedule.

3) How comfortable are you researching smaller coins?

Not comfortable
I prefer to keep it simple with major coins. Somewhat comfortable
I can research a few projects with a checklist. Very comfortable
