Build the plan before the portfolio
Position size, costs and platform choice in one place.
Start with your cash needs and capacity for loss. A position that is too large can force an unwanted sale, regardless of how convincing the original idea seemed. Calculators help make assumptions visible.
Then decide whether you want withdrawable cryptoassets or exposure through a security. Compare costs from funding to withdrawal, check custody and identify the provider's legal entity. Revisit the plan when your situation changes.
