Relying on a single investment increases the risk of losing a significant portion of your portfolio if the investment performs poorly. Depending on a single investment can limit your ability to quickly access funds in case of an emergency or other financial needs. It may also make you miss out on other potentially profitable opportunities in different markets or sectors.
Disadvantages of depending on one investment

Everyone wants to be able to invest in multiple instruments like real estate, stocks, mutual funds, cryptocurrencies etc. but everyone's financial situation is certainly different, investment requires money/capital. If we only have $ 1k, it will be difficult if we have to invest in several instruments even though the level of risk is smaller but the profit will also be small.
I think the best way to do in investment of your financial resources is to diversify your investment portfolios into different platforms like three of them for instance. This would work for you as you earn the ROI of one portfolio while the other is yet to mature.
Having all your money tied up in one investment can be a recipe for disaster not only are you exposed to the risk of that investment performing poorly but you also miss out on the chance to spread your money around and potentially make even more.

It is like putting all you eggs in one basket if something happens to the one basket you loss all your eggs
It is definitely not wise to put all eggs in one basket. I invest in stocks, mutual funds and bonds.

You can reduce the loss by diversifying your investment.
In general depending on 1 source of income is a very bad move. Once that source ends for whatever reason then you are doomed. Venture into more stuff. Even if you are left with little income as long as you know you are planning for the future then it's worth it.
You are right, you need to diversify your investments because if one is not working well then you can take profits from others.
Having only one investment exposes an investor to concentration risk and limits diversification, which is crucial in managing investment risk. A diverse investment portfolio can help spread risk, smooth returns and achieve long-term financial goals more effectively.
Diversification is the soul investment. Diversification is one of the ways you can use to hedge against unexpected misfortunes in any of your investment.
Most of people want to be out of the risk as invest in many things could be also risky as all of them could be failed ideas. So rare people how are focusing for diversify investments.
