Episode notes
Earn Yield On Core Crypto
- Do seek yield strategies on core BTC and ETH holdings rather than only chasing price appreciation.
- Use wrapping, staking or other yield methods to generate monthly distributions from crypto assets.
BTC And ETH Capture The Market
- Owning BTC and ETH captures most crypto market exposure, about 90% of volatility.
- Concentrating on these two simplifies portfolio construction and risk management.
Invest In Crypto Infrastructure
- Do own crypto infrastructure like miners and regulated exchanges to earn returns independent of token price moves.
- Structure allocations: about 20% to the sector and no more than 5% in any single token, per O'Leary's approach.
