what do you guys think of my updated $1k crypto allocation

I’m building a long-term portfolio. I’ll DCA until 2030+ and take partial profits on strength. After feedback on my last post, I cut most alts and kept only four coins I understand. Please rate and suggest simple fixes for a beginner.

Current allocation (~$909 crypto, ~$145 cash):
• BTC ~$529 (~58%)
• ETH ~$221 (~24%)
• SOL ~$107 (~12%)
• LINK ~$51.6 (~6%)

Target mix: BTC 60% / ETH 25% / SOL 10% / LINK 5%
Plan: Automate weekly/biweekly buys by these weights. Rebalance only if something drifts ~5–10% from target. Trim a little on strong runs/new highs; send to cash or to underweight coins.

Why I went from many coins to 4:
Too many small positions = overlap and stress. Based on comments, I cut the long tail and kept a simple core: BTC/ETH as the base, SOL/LINK as small satellites.

Quick questions for feedback:
• Are these weights right for a beginner, or should BTC/ETH be higher?
• Keep SOL/LINK, or go simpler (just BTC/ETH)?
• Are my rebalance bands and small profit trims reasonable?

I chose these four because they’re well-known, liquid, and easier to follow. BTC and ETH are my foundation; SOL and LINK are small, focused bets for upside without managing a long list.

My rules are simple: keep buying on schedule, don’t chase pumps, don’t panic sell. Use new deposits to fix drift; only sell into clear strength or if a coin’s reason to own it breaks.

Operations stay boring: minimize fees, move coins to self-custody on a schedule, and do a short review each quarter. If something feels too complex, I’ll simplify again.

Nice trim. Its clean 60/25/10/5 is clean. I’d even consider 70/25/5/0 (drop LINK) until you get more comfortable. Automate buys, set 8–10% drift bands, and ignore noise.
