Hey Community,

I want to try making more focused post about my portfolio, why a make a buy, why a make a transaction and switch assets. I would love to know what you think of it! There is crypto in here hold on tight :)

https://getqu.in/nfdaoW/

My portfolio reflects a strategy focused on diversification and growth, with positions in traditional investment products like ETFs and government bonds, as well as in more speculative assets like cryptocurrencies. This provides a mix of stability and potentially high returns. Below, I analyze the key components of my portfolio, discussing both the positive aspects and risks.

Traditional Investments: Stability and Growth

$IWDA (+0,36%)
iShares Core MSCI World ETF

This is a core position in my portfolio, valued at €16,389.62, representing a growth of +6.67%. This ETF offers global diversification, targeting large- and mid-cap companies in developed markets.

• Positive: Global diversification reduces risk, and the ETF provides solid long-term returns.
• Risk: Extremely low. At my age, with plenty of time for steady growth, this is perfect for me to hold a larger portion of my portfolio here.

$CSPX (+0,42%)
iShares Core S&P 500 ETF

This ETF targets the top 500 companies in the U.S. and has grown by +21.29%. It is one of the top performers in my portfolio.

• Positive: Strong performance thanks to the robust U.S. economy and growing tech companies.
• Risk: Concentration in the U.S. market could pose a risk during an economic downturn in the U.S. With Trump potentially influencing markets positively, I feel the U.S. market may continue to perform well, despite being at high levels.

German Government Bonds

With a value of €6,153.72 and modest growth of +1.21%, this position provides stability.

• Positive: Ideal as a buffer against volatile markets.
• Risk: Low returns, especially in a rising interest rate environment. My plan is to lock up a portion of my savings or funds I might need quickly in the future in these government bonds. In Belgium, 0% bonds remain the most interesting option due to high taxes on interest or dividends.

$ASML (+0,64%)

As one of Europe’s tech giants, ASML is a strong yet volatile position. While the stock is currently down -2.76%, the technology behind semiconductors remains essential.

• Positive: Market leader in lithography machines, critical for the tech sector.
• Risk: The cyclical nature of the chip industry can lead to volatility. As a result, I’ve kept the position in this individual stock relatively small.

VanEck Semiconductor ETFVanEck Semiconductor ETF

This ETF has almost doubled (+94.66%), strengthening my exposure to the semiconductor industry.

• Positive: Thriving sector due to increasing demand for chips.
• Risk: Higher sensitivity to economic cycles.

Cryptocurrencies: Speculative Yet Promising

$$HBAR (+3,21%)
edera Hashgraph

With a growth of +115.13%, this is one of the star performers in my crypto portfolio. Hedera focuses on fast and inexpensive transactions.

• Positive: Innovative technology and a strong focus on sustainability.
• Risk: Dependence on adoption by large corporations.

$TRIAS (-5,47%)
Trias Token

This coin has shown a decline of -15.09% but offers long-term potential due to its focus on secure computing.

• Positive: Innovative project with niche applications. I had a x5 on the coin, stupid me hold on nog waiting to make a gain again and say goodbye to the coin.
• Risk: Lesser-known and lower liquidity. Consider this a gamble, but it’s a risk I can afford for this amount.

$BTC (+1,81%)
Bitcoin

The king of the crypto market has grown by +135.28% and remains a solid investment in my portfolio.

• Positive: Widely accepted and proven asset.
• Risk: High volatility and reliance on market adoption.

$KAS (-1,97%)
Kaspa

This altcoin has shown an impressive growth of +33.78%.

• Positive: Fast transaction capabilities and a growing ecosystem.
• Risk: Competition from other layer-1 blockchains.

$CPOOL (+2,83%)
Clearpool

With +30.25% growth, this coin has performed well, focusing on decentralized finance (DeFi).

• Positive: Strong position in the emerging DeFi sector.
• Risk: High regulatory and security risks within DeFi.

$ETH (-0,22%)
Ethereum

Ethereum has grown by +214.17%. I plan to hold until after the potential dip Bitcoin ($BTC) may experience upon reaching the magical $100,000 mark.

• Positive: Fundamental platform for smart contracts.
• Risk: Competition and potential network issues.
