<p>Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, recently published a tweet to correct what he considered ‘<em>terrible</em>‘ financial advice. With his undisputed expertise, he provides golden recommendations, perfectly suited for the ever-evolving world of crypto.</p>
<h2 id="h-crypto-diversification-and-savings">Crypto: Diversification and Savings</h2>
<p>In a world where crypto investing is becoming more common, the question of diversification becomes increasingly pressing. Alex Avoigt recently questioned this practice on X, the former Twitter, using Bill Gates as an example. Gates, after meeting Warren Buffett, indeed diversified his investment portfolio by selling Microsoft shares, which reduced his fortune to 138 billion dollars. It could have reached 1.33 trillion dollars.</p>

     <p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is awful advice. Some actual financial advice:<br><br>* Diversification is good.<br>* Save. Get to the point where you have enough to cover multiple years of expenses. Financial safety is freedom.<br>* Be boring with most of your portfolio.<br>* Don't use &gt;2x leverage. Just don't. <a href="https://t.co/CIvDJcD3UG" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/CIvDJcD3UG</a></p>— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) <a href="https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1743991285214527532?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">January 7, 2024</a>

<p>Buterin, whose achievements in the crypto sector are well established, quickly contested this view. For him, <strong>portfolio diversification is essential</strong>, whether it’s in traditional assets or in crypto. He advocates for dividing assets among different sectors <strong>to limit risks</strong>.</p>
<p>Although he did not specify this in his <a href="https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1743991285214527532" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweet</a>, it could be particularly pertinent advice in the volatile realm of crypto. Buterin also highlights <strong>savings, which are essential to ensure several years’ worth of expenses</strong>, a pillar of financial security, even more crucial in today’s digital economy.</p>
<h2 id="h-limiting-risks">Limiting Risks</h2>
<p>In addition to the importance of diversification and saving, Buterin stresses the need to <strong>limit risks</strong>. This is one of the <strong>fundamental principles both in traditional investment</strong> and in crypto. He recommends keeping a majority of your portfolio in stable and less risky investments with a view of securing steady long-term gains. This advice goes against the sensational stories of quick fortunes that are especially prevalent in crypto today.</p>
<p>But also, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/ethereum-name-service-ens-booms-after-vitalik-buterins-call/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buterin</a> also warns against the excessive use of leverage, advising <strong>not to exceed a 2x leverage</strong>. This tool can be particularly risky in the context of crypto, where volatility can turn potential gains into considerable losses.</p>
<p>His advice combines the traditional wisdom of investment with a nuanced understanding of the digital economy, offering a <strong>balanced perspective</strong> that is relevant for investors from all walks of life.</p>
