Diversification — not putting everything in one asset — is a basic risk idea, but it works differently in crypto than many beginners expect.
Correlation is high
Most crypto assets tend to move together, especially in downturns, because they are all influenced by Bitcoin and by the same risk appetite. Holding ten altcoins is not the diversification it looks like when they all fall at once.
What it can and cannot do
Spreading across genuinely different assets can reduce the impact of any single failure, but it does not remove the market-wide risk that defines crypto. Diversification manages risk; it does not guarantee gains, and this is education rather than advice.
