# How to Build a Smart Crypto Investment Portfolio with Just $100-$200
Cryptocurrency investing doesn't have to be a rich person's game. Even with a modest $100-$200, African investors can start building a strategic digital asset portfolio that could potentially grow over time.
## Start Small, Think Smart
Many young Africans are intimidated by cryptocurrency, believing you need thousands of dollars to get started. The truth? Strategic micro-investing can be a game-changer.
### Diversification is Key
Your $100-$200 should never go into a single cryptocurrency. Here's a smart breakdown:
| Bitcoin (BTC) | 40-50% |
| Ethereum (ETH) | 30-40% |
| Emerging Altcoins | 10-20% |
## Practical Investment Steps
1. Choose a reliable African-friendly exchange like Binance or Yellow Card
2. Create a secure wallet
3. Start with fractional investments
4. Set strict monthly investment limits
