The portfolio looks.......

Good morning/evening
 
The markets have been looking a little, well, red of late so I thought I should take a look and see just how badly the portfolio is doing. There is a saving grace at the moment to being Bitcoin heavy.
 

 
So let's break it down.
 
Main portfolio
 
Bitcoin 
Solana (including Solana Alts/ LP's)
Staking tokens TIA and INJ
Stacks
Aave I no longer have BTC in Aave so just OP, ARB and LINK. The OP is mainly what I have earned from Pub0x.
Wild ALTs These are some of the gaming tokens, ONDO and AI, I have written about these before. A lot of these I did take profits on or at least took my initial out very early on like MUBI and ONDO so although some of these are down a significant amount, I can let them ride and see what happens. 
 
Unrealized profit/loss
 
Bitcoin, I brought most during the bear market so am still up over 200% even if BTC is at 80K.
Solana, again I was reasonably early with most of this, so even with SOL at $100 I am up around 150%.
TIA and INJ were for staking and potential airdrops, and I missed the boat there as I never got an airdrop, I was also late un staking and missed the December pump so I am carrying a bag that is minus 60% at the moment.
Stacks, The STX is still staked and still earning BTC and is currently sitting at minus 25%. Although this should probably be in the staking section, as it earns BTC it has a bit more utility IMO.
Aave positions, as you may have read in earlier posts I do have some small slight leveredge plays, where I borrow a stablecoin to buy more of the tokens I have in the protocol, this is a great play when the markets are going up. I did 'prop up' these positions a little by either buying more tokens as extra collateral or paying off some or all of the loan. Thankfully the BTC was taken out before the drop. This can work in reverse during a bear market but I personally don't think we are there yet.
 
Realized profit
 
Although not huge, I have taken small profits along the way, mainly for the car (I still see it as my Bitcoin car) and a few home improvements. As this is technically my first bull run (I had no idea about cycles the first time and was a Helium bag holder) this period for me is more nerve racking than buying all through the bear market, strangely enough I had no worries doing that!
 
Helium and WeatherXM
 
The good thing about these is that we have ROIed on both and over time have sold the tokens and used that to buy SOL, BTC and some of the other tokens I have, meaning my passive income has built some of these bags and I sort of see them as free money now.
 
Wild card ALTs
 
As I have said in previous posts, this was a really small percentage of the portfolio and a test for me to see if my research worked on how to pick these small/micro cap tokens. Now thankfully this was all on a spreadsheet and still took a while to work out (far too much time to value) as a lot of these tokens were paid for with profits or airdrops that were sold off, so although an interesting experiment for me, I have no expectations.
What I did at the time with most of these was, if the token doubled, I took out my initial stake/investment and let the rest ride (hindsight is great because at the time I thought I was being too conservative with this plan) and remember this is only 3% of my portfolio, I still hold some of these S***coins just in case any do go to the moon but the whole WC portfolio is minus 15% which is not that bad considering ALTs are in the toilet at the moment. There is one of my wild cards that I did think was 'the one' and that is Altlayer ALT so when it did double I did not take out my initial capital. Looking at the chart I had 2 chances to have done this...............My bad.

Perps
 
A mixed bag here with more wins than losses but a close call due to a large liquidation and a small overall profit of 10% shorting ETH and some memes helped here as did setting take profit levels, again this is me playing around, not using high leveredge (3 - 5% max) and taking small profits early. I am not using huge capital on perps, it is more for fun and I have a seperate little fund for this, play money, this is the same fund that was used for the meme coins and I actually prefer the odd perp to buying a meme. I did most of my perps on Jupiter and Ray dium so the fees were not an issue, but again this is a high risk play so DYOR.
 
Memes
 
It has been a long time since that drunken night of FOMO and buying the Meme tokens lol and to be honest I have not brought any since, almost got a bag of the TRUMP token, I was hovering on the button at, I think around $17 and it went up but in the end I did not buy any. All the other memes I have are way down with no hope of survival, but again not a lot of money gambled, and memes are a gamble NOT an investment IMO.
 
Conclusion
 
Overall at the moment I do not think things are too bad, but I am expecting a bit more of the FUD while the markets are dropping, it is not just crypto and I am keeping a close eye on the charts at the moment to see if we have a bit more of a drop or if we go into a recovery. Although I have learnt a considerable amount in my time in crypto, there is always more to learn, with me playing around in different areas DeFi, perps, HODL, etc I learn what I will and won't do next cycle, but one thing is for sure and that is BTC will still be the biggest part of my portfolio.
I do have an exit plan that seemed quite reasonable, only time will tell if I get it right.
 
I would love to hear your thoughts, so as always, thank you for reading and please feel free to comment.
