Title: If you are freaking out right now, you are over-invested in crypto
Post by: vuduchyld on June 17, 2016, 05:34:39 PM
Diversify!

You should be well aware that crypto is NOT investment, it is pure speculation.  With the great opportunity for profit comes great risk.  Risk and reward are HIGHLY correlated in financial endeavors.

If you paid "tuition" today, learn from it.

The only relatively safe in cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, everything else has several order of magnitude of increased risk compared to the original coin, but it can make you rich overnight as well.

When I say "diversify", I am not talking about various cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin may seem "safe" right now, but thousands of hodlers of BTC in Mt. Gox would be happy to explain otherwise.

I agree DIVERSIFY.  Even BTC should not be considered a safe haven to hold it all in.  If you are diversified days like today should be fun and opportunistic.  Crypto is all over the place, one day your on top the other not - stay safe and mostly have fun!

Not Bitcoin (Block size issues) but Litecoin.

Mutual funds are for suckers..That's where Johnny the cash
Diversify!

If you paid "tuition" today, learn from it.
This is great advice, but I think the issue with many is that they invest a lot of money into crypto because they see the barrier for stocks/bonds as too high or scary. I think mutual funds are comparable to mining if you pay attention and think of it like that, some will pay well per quarter and some will hurt, look at history and make a meaningful decision.

Mutual funds are for suckers saving a portion of their salary for retirement. Hedge funds are a more reasonable place to invest money.

Super high-risk investments are safe if each individual investment is only a small portion of your bankroll.

A way to do it is to trade BTC for gold. You can do it both for diversification or speculation. Now gold is still relatively cheap.
See my sig for the right place to do it.

I totally agree with you that is why you need to know when you will get in and when you will get out,always get your profit back so you will not feel sorry in case the value decreases,it's always best to look for fast profit on some coins..

If you are freaking out right now you shouldve bought a crypto with actual solid fundamentals like Monero or Bitcoin.

Which is why most professional poker players only play with 1-2% of their bankroll at a given time. It's not risky if you don't invest too much.

It is difficult to solve this problem. It is ideal that the attacker return the money. If he does not, we will fork.
