For those newbie in cryptocurrency in all certain platform, if you want to invest your money first, you have to think and conduct a research regarding on why do you want to invest your money. For you to be able to gain a good profit and to avoid the losing of your capital. Hence, there are some people who have insufficient knowledge in trading, investment etc.

There is no legal financial adviser in the crypto space in my own opinion. Everyone has to come to a sense of responsibility concerning his or her finance and therefore should personal advice himself or herself as concerning what to commit funds to.

Investment without knowing the investment strategy is just through the fund into water. There are a lot of platforms for investment but you should have the knowledge and experience for choosing your best platform. Perfect timing is very much important. You have to select the best timing for investment. For that you have to research the market and market trends how they behalf. So, before making investment, you have gather knowledge and experience. Otherwise you may loss your fund.

Basic knowledge is very important, it's a must when investing but what is the most important is your mindset.

Think of it as a long term investment, and you'll be at ease all the time, you'll never panic as long as you trust the project you are investing.
Finding a good investment is not easy, it needs time and effort to research but the good news is they are in the market so its not impossible to find them.

if you are not confident with the new projects then you might want to check the old ones but only choose those who are reliable and have survive until now.

Buying crypto currencies itself as an investment so we need to avoid any investment schemes related to cryptos because most of them will probably end in scam and you/we will lose our money.So all we need to do is to buy the right crypto currency and hold them until it reaches good value and when you are a complete new beginner then just go with bitcoin then you will know what other cryptos you should buy.

that's why there are so many awareness about DYOR is a must for everyone even those who have become expert in this area still did DYOR based on their own indicators to determine whether it's a good platform/asset to invest or not.

What I have noticed with most newbies who come by to the forum and asks for an investment advice, they were already asking as if someone has already suggested them an altcoin. And that altcoin is unknown. Yes, first time of hearing but if not, an altcoin that's not really profitable and common at all. Too bad that those newbies were introduced and being suggested with a wrong tip of which coin to buy. And for them to analyze, they need to compare what they know if ever they have a background or idea which they've made a research and with those coins that have been suggested to them.

many beginner investors are too ambitious and impatient, so they are wrong in choosing coins to invest, for novice investors must know in advance the ins and outs of the coins you want to invest so as not to experience a large loss.

Few things every Newbie should remember:

• Any kind of Investment has risk.
• Do not excpect instant returns
• Invest what you can spare to lose
• If you have earned profit, always prepare yourself to suffer loss
• Do you own research before investing
• Always have a plan B

I think they've became ambitious because of the past year of bitcoin which they've seen, and that year was 2017. Those were the times when you can invest to almost anything and there's a guaranteed profit after the sale of the ICO project. They've built up a thought that it's always like that up to now. Time has changed and they are wrong if we're talking with the present time. Being impatient is a normal character of an investor that's just starting.

People in a hurry to gain big returns normally end up losing more. Investing without even researching if the project is legitimate or not. With so many scam projects running currently in the crypto space, one can not and should not take for granted proper research on the coins he wants to invest in.

That is very true and most people simply ignore this rule either because they are lazy or they just follow other people which is wrong. Even if someone is suggetsing you a project to invest you have to perform your due diligence and confirm the legitimacy and potential of the project before investing or you will end up losing your money.

In every type of investments there’s always a risk, investing in crypto is no difference consider it a double risk if you fail to understand where your putting your money is. As much as possible investors should learn how to diversify portfolio and not only focus on few investments.

That's already a problem posed by newbies getting into crypto by a scam. Like the Ponzi Schemes that are popping up out of nowhere and entices you to invest in their so-called ”profit scheme.” They are usually covered in the ”positive” reviews and the ”profits” shown, and it's not going to be a good ending for the newbie; it's going to scar him for the scam if it pops.

The insufficient knowledge that you are talking about should be mandatory, and people should be aware of possible scam approach with that. I think this of utmost importance to preserve the name of cryptocurrencies and the capital of an investor.

Because that was how to work investment is a high risk you getting involved the chances also that you maybe get high profit.

But before you will achieve that profit, you will hardly be doing research first before anything else because not all projects that give potential profit especially nowadays, we are prone to scam but only naive and lazy people will surely encounter this matter.

It will lead your investments in the wrong way if you didn't have basic research even if it starts with the project documents like whitepaper and roadmap.

Understanding and having a full knowledge on the investment you want to make is the very first thing to do before taking such investments. Although investing into crypto has a high risks, but if you are aware on the project or platform where you are putting your money makes the risks lessen. And never focus on a single investment of course, because if that single invetment fails, your whole world will surely collapse too. Take some time to diversify your portfolio and still DYOR before doing it.

But a newbie won't have much of capital fund to diversify portfolio well enough. This kinda dilemma that stack odds against newbies and reason why a lot of them fail in the beginning.

At times when I read some people's post on investments they talk as if they are oracle on investment. For me the most impartant thing about money is not to lose is, if you are not losing money that means you are doing fine but there is no way you are an investor and won't lose money, just make sure your wins are more than your losses, and when you win, win very big 5X, 10X, 20X wins. All these so called good projects would eventually fail, where are the so called good projects of 2016 before last bull run.

 In my opinion , any investment done without due research into the project is a wrong investment .  Some people FOMO and invest and some invest just because others are investing. Again putting all your eggs in one basket is a wrong investment . Diversification is the advised while investing.

Investment in cryptocurrency is all about risk. Nothing is certain in this space. If every you want to invest, make sure you invest what you can afford to lose. Desist from investment an amount that can give you a heart attack. Don't trust any advice from anyone regarding investment in cryptocurrency, no on can predict where the pendulum will swing.

The step to having a successful and profitable investment begins with knowledge. If one does not have adequate knowledge on what crypto investment is all about,there is every tendency to always fall victim of being scammed.A lot of people have found themselves in some mess as a result of investment in crypto projects that are not valid owing to lack of knowledge. If it will entail one to ask questions from people who know much about investment in crypto before going for it, I think it worth it.There are always pitfalls that can be avoided in investment if only one will yield to instructions and be ready to take corrections.

Investment will surely go wrong when one dies not have any knowledge of what he or she wants to get involved in, so for a profitable investment, one should be able to learn the basics of the investment before investing ,atleadt that will help in minimizing any form of loss to be acquired in the future.

Being a newbie does not mean to learn on the experiences, we've gone through a lot of failures and that should do them the prevention. Investing on a typical project won't let them know the cryptocurrency, they should start off the bitcoin, that's the sure they get into. As a newbie they can learn the process through time, sticking with such a great investment is an enough gain for them. Stop giving a damn on everything on the internet, that keeps them safe from any harm. And the most important? know how to read, not just the chart.

So what is the point you are trying to make  ::), there is nothing much to worry if you are investing in established coins and the only point of reference you need to be worried is the entry and when it comes to token and projects you need to research about the team before investing in them as it is the riskiest investment in the world as some projects tend to pump and dump the coins while others does not even go to those length to profit the investors.

Investment is a good way to earn profit, but we need to invest in a right way to gain more profit for good. The best way to earn profit is to search or to finds right investment,in cypto there are so many choices to invest in coins, tokens, etc, the decision is always in your hand as an investors.

I feel this assessment is wrong; you do not invest right by getting every knowlegde or information about any project; you merely invest right if you are able to get the right and most important facts that could one way or the other guide the price of the token on whichever exchange it is listed. You cannot know it all.

The first requirement when investing is knowing what you're getting into, gain knowledge and be aware for the consequences of investing if eveything turn to opposite of what you expected. There's no sure money here no matter how reliable the coins or the projects where you invested.

Its a must that you study first the nature of where you will invest your money to understand the risk and other factors that can affect your investment as time goes by.

There is nothing that does not involve risk, including the already established coins, the main thing is that the level of their risks might be lesser compared to the new coins. We should all know what we want and whoever wants to invest in new coins would have known that it is either it comes out positive or negative and that whether happened, he is able and capable enough to bear the loss.

When it comes to trading, no matter how well you think you've learnt, you still need the experience to understand what it entails to go through emotions in trading and to know the best trading strategies which work for you. Mid term trading might work for me, but day trading might also be putting smiles on people's faces. However, do well to learn technical analysis before delving into trading, have reasons to buy a coin, set your sell order / stop loss so you don't go gambling with trades.

Basically, newbies are better to learn and focus to gain knowledge first before thinking of earning profits by joining trading or investment immediately. Once they come to the crypto world to dream about earning profits as soon as possible, it will be a disaster since crypto jobs are full of risks. For example like what you stated above, they won't trade properly and just complain in a few days/months later.

I doubt that they are investing in new altcoins, so they just realized the value of the tokens was getting worse after the fundraising was over already. Well, I suggest for all newbies that don't be too brave on speculating once you are still beginners. It is better to invest or trade the top coins first because they are much safer. If you want to speculate on new altcoins, you can plan it after you have enough knowledge about it.

Investors or crypto enthusiasts who already understand the cryptocurrency ecosystem certainly understand this. Moreover, trends continue to change and a lot of fraud, everyone will be more vigilant and prefer to do an analysis first before deciding to join.
Newbie, who wants to learn in advance about this ecosystem can certainly adapt well. As long as the newbie understands the risks, is not greedy, not FOMO, is not easily provoked by bait or investment advice from others, we have to learn to care more about what we will invest. Projects that offer too many benefits, even seem excessive, need to be aware of, to good to be true.

That's the new word "mid term trading". I think running conditions are good for mid term trading. Newbie should stay away from day trading or mid term trading because proper trading is very hard to select. Stop losses are a very feature for low active traders. Newbies should learn from others losses by giving time or losing your money to learn the trade process.

Most newbies today joined the Crypto space based on what they heard without seeking for any knowledge first, therefore the reason why most learnt that the lesson in a hard way. That is, the first thing to do as a newbie who want to either invest or trade cryptocurrencies is first seeking for the right knowledge guiding that particular endeavour; if it is investing then know how to carry out research, if it is trading then learn how to trade first, hence by so doing, time and resources will be saved while the best results is achieved.

There's a lot of risk when you are on a cryptocurrency specially in investment it was a high risk specially if you didn't know where you are going to invest if it is scam or it was legit in this world of cryptocurrency you must have a knowledge and positive mindset and don't be your emotion will be on the first of it or else you will lose on the game.

If you can't deal with the risk and you should not expect to get return from there. The only problem to avoid the scam investment but anything can make the investors got loses.
The speculation market is about how you can deal and survive with your assets.

Newbie mistakes they always want to get instant results, this can make them fall into wrong project or the wrong way too, for example they will influenced by HYPE sites or ponzi sites that offer lucrative rewards. I am sure every Newbi who does not study or not careful will join them so it's make newbie will lose their assets.

newbie to easy following "expert" suggestion in any channel or site due their insufficient knowledge. they must prepare their self with proper knowledge to prevent loss huge money from their investment, without knowledge we dont know which is good and bad. investing in finance market was very dangerous for anyone, even for expert .

True, they often want immediate profits because of their ignorance in this market. That's why they are always involved in bullshit projects with ideas that offer great returns to investors, and in the end those projects die and they lose money.

That's true! I have to admit that I have been experienced in those situations when I was a newbie. Being greedy in earning quick profits and getting instant results make me lose my ability to make a clear decision. Therefore, I lost most of my capital at that time. Luckily, I have been advised by experienced traders to stop trading and start learning first. Don't do anything without knowing its ways!

Yes, newbie never thinks about the process, and they only want instant results. If they still do that, there is no chance for them to make money, and they can be wrong to choose the investment. When they can spend their time learning, that will be a lesson for them to find a way to make money. It is not easy to get the investment, but if you can find with research, you will have one or two projects that can be your investment.

And the point is?
Or is it just a reminder?

Well, that is for starters.
If you are wise enough, you won't just spend money without knowing the quality of a product.
So how you can do that?
By research, asking those who had the experience in the same field, and making sure you are on the right path.
You just need a little brainpower to make that happen.

What the OP should say is the main knowledge and capital that must be possessed by many investors.

Crypto trading / investment is very sensitive from losing the money you have, when research is incorrect.
For this reason, the OP mentioned above is the first and main step to determine the return on investment.

Can not be denied, because today there are so many cryptocurrency that exist in various trade sites, research on the origin of crypto and investment science is the most important reference.

our skill in research and analizing project will help us to recognized good project, so we will not trapped in bad project which is often plagiate whitepaper from previous project. we've see this case in many projects and unfortunately many beginner and even experienced investors trapped. earning money today was very difficult so we must becarefully using it.

of course before investing in a coin must really understand very well about the coin if we are not careful, there will be losses, let alone investing in the world of high risk crypto and one thing we need to remember if the coin we buy is down don't keep panicking, stay calm and wait

Trying to invest and to gain experience is our only adviser in crypto trading. You won't know the outcome if you won't try. Failures can give us lesson however in the long run we can figure out the good way to earn profits in crypto trading. Remember that there is no hasty thing in earnjng from cryptocurrency.

Well yes that's the mistake most of the new comers do but I would say that not only the beginners but many well experienced traders also do the same mistake of not researching a coin they are investing in the first time.

That's investment in the right way, research is necessary so you can minimize the risk, investing itself is very risky, more so if you don't have enough knowledge on what you are doing, you are like gambling with uncertainty, we don't do that in crypto if we like to have a long term success.

In the failure of investment and trade, I have already felt that. It really is very painful and makes motivation to make the next investment. Analysis of the projects that we want to invest in is important. Because in crypto currency, no one can be responsible, but ourselves. That's why we really have to really think and analyze.

First of all, thanks for your advice and for sure that some newbies in crypto will learn for your advice.

In my part, this is just one of the very basics of investing. No knowledge and just throwing your money in investing is just like gambling in a gambling game where you don't know how to play on it. Unfortunately, there are people who are just throwing their money and just investing into an investment that they don't know or not knowledgeable enough so the ending is that they will incur a loss in their capital and after that they will either rant on social media regarding to what happened to them or they will invest some of their time in learning.

Overall, knowledge is very powerful especially in investing so try to gather as much knowledge as you can before investing.

Yes, trying is a thing that must be done by everyone in crypto, because without trying something in crypto, one will not know about the ways and keys to be successful in crypto, even though it is not easy to be successful in crypto, but trying is the thing good, too.

Although this sounds really basic and almost pointless it cannot be stressed enough on how important it is. Most people are just throwing their money around thinking that's it's a good which Rich scheme and end up losing their capital.

If you ask me why i do want to invest my money on cryptocurrency, of course it is because i want to gain profit.
What we need to conduct research is the coin/project we want to invest on, because there are many scam coins/projects already.

In my opinion investing on cryptocurrency is super risky. Scam projects, market condition is some reason why i called it risky. Its up to you if you want to invest or not. But,  if you want invest you need to conduct a research.

Newbies have alot to learn, rushing to enter trading or investing without having required cryptocurrency knowledge is very risk, I don't believe luck without knowledge will bring any good result apart from loss. Newbies should chase knowledge and success will fall in.

Yes you are right not everything can happen instantly need proper understanding and study especially with regard to cryptocurrency, for now a lot of new platforms that have sprung up with various offers in terms of investment So you can get good profits and avoid losing your capital.

Failure must be an experience and therefore we must be able to get up and start with a new idea, I also often invest and with failures, in my opinion it's a risk that we have to face and therefore in any analysis in the world of crypto must be done.

Investment should be made on something we have clear forecast about the future value so if someone investing in a wrong way means they are literally new to investment sectors, maybe they need some mistakes to learn but wise people learn from other's mistakes so they won't lose their money.

First, they need to have patience in this market. If they invest without patience, I believe that sooner or later they will lose money and no money to continue investing. Then they need to have knowledge of this market and they need to conduct research before investing

Actually, it harder to find a safe and good project back then than today. Just because the market today oversaturated so little chance to make a profit but at least, scammers don't as many as before.

I wonder why people still invest blindly in some altcoins without doing proper research. Patience is cool but risk management is more important when it comes to crypto investment. For example, when going long term on a coin, and I spot red flags along the line like team not giving updates, I sell off my bag and count my loss. This helps to avoid further loss, just an instance.

Newbies are too much gung ho for action and this is their biggest common mistake. To know when the timing is right to make a trade of cash out also require knowledge as you said so it kinda layer of both knowledge and experience to grow out of newbie phase.

It's really very necessary for everyone to do not specifically newbies as both old and newbies are failing prey. Whenever you want to invest I will suggest Everyone check and follow project up to know how genuine they are before investing.

Yes, it is individuals' responsibility to keep investing or trading safely so that they could make profits and at the same time they can keep their capital intact. There will be no guarantee that you will be making profits even you will be having financial advisor in this crypto space. Because, only you can care about your capital the most compared to anyone else, it means even you will be having financial advisor there will be no guarantee they will care your capital like how you do while investing or trading.

I have seen many people are talking about financial advisors and trading mentors in crypto space to taking care of their all crypto -related investments and trading but as far as I have seen nobody was successful like how individual crypto people are doing. This is why we should always take care of all our financial needs and we can go for listening to advisors but we should not let them to manage our capital.

then what is the solution that you want to convey to us all? related to this, it is true that for anyone who wants to invest certainly needs to reconsider especially with your capital, the coins you want to invest, especially top coins, have real products, invest in projects only with ICO / IEO listed on the main exchange (Binance , Okex, Kucoin), and it's important to remember that investing takes time and you also have to be prepared with all the consequences too.

It seems that TS wants to remind that there are many newbies who do not understand investment strategies in the crypto world so that they get losses. Imagine, if we are only interested because we are offered a large profit without knowing what we are going to invest, it is a very fatal mistake. Greed will make people forget that there is a risk of loss that must be faced, unfortunately, newbies are not aware of it, and the error is often not realized by them so as to consider cryptocurrency scam when getting a loss.

Researching before investing is essential in this market because one mistake can cost you a lot of money. This market is never reliable because any project will be risky and finding a potential project will definitely take a lot of your time. I don't usually invest in new projects because the potential for losing money is very high, so in my opinion, if you do not have much experience, you should only choose safe coins in this market.

If they cannot or do not know how to research then they can ask people here about a particular project that they want to support or invest, it's free to ask here and people will give you their opinion, it's for you to appreciate and study their posts and opinions but it's a win-win situation for all members here.

But don't get me wrong, if you will ask here, you will get a lot of suggestions regarding which coin to invest. And the truth is most of them are suggesting coins or tokens that they are holding. So yes, you still need to do your own assessment, check if the suggestion/reason is valid. If you are a crypto investor, you really need to do your own homework, and it will take a lot of your time just by studying them. But your hard work will not go to waste as along the way, you will gain insights that will guide you on how to select a good and profitable project.

Well I agree on that. There are members who really never getting tired advising beginners what to do and where to start but of course there are also members who prefer the harsh way so brace yourself :D. They will made you realized that "you should exert effort on studying and don't depend on spoonfeeding", something like that lol. Nevertheless, both things will help you to grow.
That was natural because we're here in bitcointalk which mainly focused on crypto discussions. Though there are members who suggest some to invest in other things unrelated to crypto, they are minimal and still depending on the situation of the one who seek help :).

In any type of investment, investors are required to have knowledge about what they want to invest and that is the most basic thing in investing. Investing without knowing anything is stupid, and I'm sure we all know that. But why are there still so many people doing the wrong thing? If we want to find information and knowledge we can get it quickly because we are in the era of technology and anything we can quickly access.

Anything that consider knowledge as half bake is dangerous. Yes, investment is that easy as 123 so do not expect to get something good if your ideals were like this. Investments needs a conduct of study and see how it will become successfull. In this case I am not trusting those teams bringing project or crowdsourcing to implement it. I'd rather make my own investment and relatively not in shit coins. It could be good altcoins or bitcoin will be preferred.

Usually I prefer to invest in real products like buy and sell.  Or to find supplier so that I can sell it online. This is the new trend business without physical store but still able to market.

That Highlighted words seems to be stupid,Because of course why we are investing our money ?to profit and earn .

Do you think there are people that will put their money for other thing than profiting?

---

And besides topic like this has been tackled here so many times but yet reminding others is always cool as the newbies are the main victim everytime.

The most important thing newbie must learn and stand?is Never become so greedy and let small profit enough for every trades.

If u ask me, I'll say why I want to invest my money is because I want more money. Hello? Why else?
So I really think that shouldn't be the question any newbie should be asking themselves. I'd like to wanna gain knowledge, research, watch others, learn. Put greed aside and start small.

Something you can only learn by making mistakes. Even we're trying to say how important to do research before invest, even some veterans out there could make a mistake if they aren't careful, let alone newbies.

I think it is a norm to have a worn out investment in the crypto currency space, but uf you avail yourself to learning and becoming even better then crypto currency is not difficult, if you have a loss, pick ho yourself, find the lapse, fix it and dyor on the next investment target

cryptocurrency investment is not what you jump into. first thing first, you need to make research about any project you want to invest into. dont just invest because it promised huge profits or because someone recommended it for you. you must have a solid conviction after making extensive research of why you want to invest and you must determine if you will invest for long or short term and take profits, cut losses at the needed time.

If you have good view point with your investment, it's much easy for you to keep moving. Either you stop your position to cashout your gained

or you are limiting the damage from your initial capital. It's all about how you understand the investment that you are taking, it's all in your

shoulders as it's your money that you are using and need to take care off.

If there have some basic knowledge about investing and profits category then is possible invest in a best way. Suddenly some new members want move profits Instantly! without knowledge choosing good project and without patients, so i can say those people then never come in invest.

That's how newbie do in the market when investing, not all of them but there are some, but don't worry, they'll eventually learn from their own mistakes.
Actually investing is like a passion, you never stop until you succeed, so as long as you have that kind of mentality, you are likely to be successful here.

before investing, we really need to know what are the advantages of the project that we support. however, the risk is still great in this case, because we really don't know whether the project actually runs according to the concept they made or not. however, ongoing research needs to be done, because there are some projects that even look pretty good at the beginning, but a scam in the end.

If a project promises huge profit like what I see on some Whitepapers, saying they will list at 5x the price after token sale for instance, its already a red flag 🚩 for me. Allow the market to decide price, when development are coming through, especially following the roadmap or additional milestones, the coin price increases in an organic manner. Taking profit and removing greed factor when necessary should not be overemphasized, every investor should know this.

This applies to everybody not only newbies, even veteran or old investors made and make a mistake on their investment decision, we are not safe and can make perfect decision, there are a lot of deception in the Cryptocurrency, even those we thought are good investment turns out to be scam.

This applies to everyone not just a newbie, of course everyone will do research before investing because investing without research is like wasting money

But compared to newbie users, experienced investors are making strong due diligence before investing; it has become their useful practice after lots of bitter experience. I do not mean that all experienced people here are making investment perfectly but I'm just saying the chances for missing out from experienced group of people is really low. When more number of people are failing to have perfect due diligence, the scammers are easily making money and coming up with the new projects to scam again and this kind of attempts keeps on going just because of such naive investors.

Making a research really helps and minimize the possible loss but sometimes our research results are not always correct but it is better than doing nothing. Also, investing in crypto is not always about the facts. Yes, maybe you find out that some legit crypto like Bitcoin, ETH. But it does not means that you will earn from that automatically, crypto are moving up and down if you have weak hands you might lose everything, So patience is important here too.

All investments must have their own risks if you are sure to jump into the world of crypto it never hurts to try to start it. The thing to remember you must know in advance about crypto and the greatest risk that will be obtained if you jump in it. Try to trade in small volumes and then take lessons learned whether you will continue in large volumes or not at all. In my opinion, experience is the most important key in working in the crypto world.

Definitely, research must be conducted first before throw oneself into any kind investment or trade whether it is in crypto or not. However, even though we made these such thing called "research" it doesn't necessarily mean you will always have a desirable result because sometimes or should I say most of the time crypto always pull something unexpected, that could give us a sweet outcome or something we wouldn't like. And that was the reason why crypto is popular because of the risk it has and just for us to manage the risk, being patient could be a great help.

Actually we can only get a few idea on research because it needs a study and a response from different users here to see wether good or bad to invest in a certain project. But in my own idea investing in crypto would be okay for bitcoin, eth, xrp and other strong coins but for the start up then I  guess I will not recommend it because it has higher risk than anyone could think of. Imagine you will going tog give your money to someon and trusted them to double it for you in a small time? There is no fast and easy money here.

In this market, if you want to make a profit, you need to have the knowledge and research carefully. If you invest emotionally then you will surely receive failure in the future

There is always a risk behind investing, but as long as we can know how to prevent the risk or minimize the risk, we can try to invest. But the important thing that we must know is we need to have to allocate money that is not used for anything, so if something worst happens, we don't feel too sad. I agree that we also need the patience to wait for the price to touch our target price so we can sell the coin and make a profit.

Of course, every investor should study the area or company in which he wants to invest, because investing on guesswork is too huge risk and the risk of losing your investments is too huge, so you should always fully consider your actions and the company in which you want to invest.

Investing comes with lots of risks which is why we need to make that decision wholesomely. We need to be determined that whatever the outcome is, we must take it. One good way of Investments that I have seen from lots of experienced traders, they spread their investments. They do not fully commit to a single Cryptocurrency since it has the risk of going downhill like other Cryptos too. They just trust their gut feeling and believe in whatever decision that they have made.

something that you do using that money will always have a risk and of course you have to be brave enough to face that risk but you also have to think further about the benefits gained if it is worth the risk or not and as much as possible to remain vigilant because there is no investment with cryptocurrency who can provide guarantees.

Crypto investment is a very risky one, so if you don't have the skills and knowledge yet don't jump on it. And please don't follow someone else's predictions or piece of advice because at the end of the day, it is your money at stake and they don't care about what's gonna happen to your investments. So it is your own smart decision on where to put your money. As a responsible investor, you should at least do your own research and check for pointers that are relevant to the project.

Not only in cryptocurrency investments but every investment option out there, investing blindly without knowing the in and out of the what you are investing in a sure way to run on a massive loss. A lot of people even  some of the self acclaimed experts often trade without proper research and vetting of the project which is very bad and often result in massive loss. Investment is this space is highly risky and there's not any legal advise to it so every have to own up some responsibility

thats right, people should know some reasonable reason before they drop their money in any cryptocurrency
because without any reasonable reason or just follow the words from the others people, thats too risky mate
and try to learn about how to invest correctly

There is always risk by investing, for that reason it is so needed to make your own research about the project, which you want to invest in. On the other hand, it can be the reason of losing your money. As you above mentioned you should get every information about the project, the company which you will invest in.

Most situations that attracts every investors to risk their money on a specific project cryptocurrency, is the platform that promised huge returns. Project manager who usually promotes a project, always look forward for positive outlook on their products regardless of how the outcome will be. Most importantly, as investor we should dig deeper on what type of community you're part with.

The most important thing is we should know what we are into, many investors are just putting their money because their guts say so or there is someone told to do so. Our decision in investing should base on facts and legit information, for those who still making investment in different projects; I think it is better if you will lessen the allocation because are too high now. The money that we will put in a specific investment is the money that we can lose for us to have not emotional attachment when we lose it.

That will be a great lesson every time you lose money in this market and no one can avoid the risk when investing in this market.

Instead of being disappointed in what's happening, you should add new knowledge as it will help you a lot in other investments. I always believe in my decisions but will change it if that plan cannot help me to succeed when investing.

There is only one bottom line reason why we want to invest our money into cryptocurrency or bitcoin. And that is We want our capital produce profit nothing else. But I do agreed that we  need to check the coin we like to buy so that our investment will not be turn into waste of course. Proper knowledge I think is enough to say for us to obtain earnings.

Investment should always be considered because any coin can be reduced when news comes out. In addition, it is necessary to have a reasonable investment strategy and be really wise to buy because if you choose the wrong coin, you will likely lose money. I always use all my knowledge to research and this has helped me to minimize a lot of investment risks.

If, anyone who is newbie taking the decision for the investment for the crypto asset then he should be first of all aware of the risk in the crypto sector. You don't believe that how volatile is the crypto and the unpredictable. So, always choose the top50 coins for the investment and find the most stable like coin like the BNT, IOTA, XRP etc. for your investment.

not all coins are going to decreased thier value on every news that goes out but it depends  . good news usually have a good effect on the value but bad does have a bad effect too  . that is why investment isnt considered or necessary but you shall only invest if your free from financial issues or debts  .

using our basic knowledge to search for more knowledge based on our investment is a must for every investors   . this can also avoid you to loose more than your expectation of minimizing your risk

For me, investing in cryptocurrency is only for those who are willing for the long term. Because the history of Bitcoin as the first crypto continues to increase every year.

So sorry but I have to disagree with you! Investing in the cryptocurrency market is not necessarily about long-term profits. We are completely able to set short-term goals in this market. It all depends on your goals. If you are an investor then yes you will be more interested in long-term goals, but if you are a trader you can do both short-term trading and long-term trading. For example, due to the volatile market condition like the past few months, most people choose to do daily trading in order to earn profits instantly!

In life there is theoretical knowledge and there is practical science. both must be balanced. mistakes from investing occur because of ignorance. because if you are still determined to invest without knowledge, how it's a project, risk, team, prediction, or anything else, then there is only one solution. i.e. luck. if you are lucky then you get profit. just luck? oh ....  :-\

It is very silly to invest in any projects if you are newbie. You need some time to get a deep knowledge about crypto projects in order not to invest in useless coins.

Why only from top50? Any altcoin can be selected for invest, but without a proper research it will be a waste of money. There are lots of altcoins that were in top50, but now are not there anymore. Nexo, Banker, Lisk - these 3 for example were in top50. IOST was in top30 for a long time, now this alt is heading to +100 place and dropping in price.

There is an another side of this situation. How this coin top is generated? By total amount traded. There are lots of alt below top200, that made x2 minimum in last month. Example - Ferrum Network. Its price went from $0.01 to $0.05 in two months and this altcoin is on 511 place according to coinmarketcap.

Agree, they only think of large profits in the short term without thinking about the risks involved. The risk here might be to lose a lot of money in a short time because it might be a scam project and lose competitiveness with others. Therefore always be careful when investing and don't expect too much profit.

In case of investment, everything has to be seen and heard first. It is true that you may not know anything at first. In this case you have to invest after seeing and hearing everything first and then understanding everything first. There will be both profit and loss in your investment but I am hoping for your profit.

Most people invest their money because they follow other people's suggestions instead of research by themselves. That is the first mistake because when they invest in the crypto, they need to find the right project by research. Besides that, they use the money without knowing how much the money that they should use to invest in crypto. And when the project fails to reach their goals, they will lose their money, which will hard for them to get their initial money. We need to consider the money that we use so we can prevent the big loss.

People are only greedy with profit alone and don't even see the risks they face, a beginner will definitely do this and ambitious what they want with these short-term benefits.
Now many become shitcoin.

thinking alone will not get results without doing practice so it must be balanced with making decisions.
Say you think and predict very well but doubt when going to take a decision, is tantamount to doing nothing.
failure or defeat is natural in trading, but must continue to be sharpened and corrected.

most of them are not careful in investing the money they have in the sites they choose, they are too hasty because they only expect the benefits to be gained and do not dig deeper into the risks of what they will face later. lack of experience and lack of knowledge in investing in crypto will certainly have a greater impact on the risk of loss

What are you talking about here now though? Traders spreading their investments? But traders trade (buy and sell) they do not invest. Spreading your risk in crypto/altcoins is also a bit meaningless. You either have it all in Bitcoin, or you have some in alts, and spreading your basket too thin is pretty pointless when all alts rely on Bitcoin anyway.

Lack of knowledge is always a problem everywhere not just in trading and investment of cryptocurrency. If you are equipped with enough knowledge then you can handle everything perfectly in terms of making profits for you. Making yourself knowledgeable against cryptocurrency investment is not a big thing if your capable of making use of your time going through breadth and width of this forum.

I am very much sure that anyone can avoid investing in a wrong way with the help of this forum. Because, there are a lot of helping people here they are taking all their time to help you to avoid a wrong investment and also will guide you to get into the perfect investment opportunity which is known for getting you 10x profits in next one or two two years of holding. One such opportunity is investing with bitcoins and all bitcoin investment cannot go wrong in long term perspective.

Everything require risk but there are some risk that people that without proper research and basic knowledge about the stuff. I think the most important thing that everybody must do whether you are newbie or expert in crypto investment is that before you take any decision of investing in any project, please and please do a thoroughly research and have a good mindset.. With these two things you are good to go.

That’s the major step and requirement before investing in a project. If you will skip the process of reviewing the project before investing that’s probably gambling and the possibility of being failed will be high. Even your investment is for long or short term. Don’t expect for an instant return after just few months of investing. Any other investment opportunity can be risk. We can also set different plans before the possibilities of being failed so that we can get back what we lose.

This is really true. On investment, basic knowledge about investing is really a must have but having a positive mindset to think everything as an opportunity to gain will be a good thing to must have. Many people are already losing their hope towards investment whenever they see a sudden down fall on the price of the crypto they have currently invested with. It is just normal to feel like that but if you trust your guts and if you truly believe in the coin you have invested with, you do not have to worry about. Just trust the process and just wait for the results to speak for itself.

But before doing anything with regards to deciding to start up investing, first thing that you must to is to acquire knowledge which can be gained on reading or having the guts to ask or at least try with small amount because most of us have started on trying to risk before they can be able to acquire knowledge on what to do on how they will strategize their investment to come up for a good result.

isn't it trader also called as investing ? they put their money into place and use it for trading in order to earn money.  he mean we have to diversify our portofolio into some coins not only in single assets so if this asset value suddenly drop , we still have another coins that will give us profits.

Have you done all of this ?or rather have you invested in cryptocurrency?

anyway thanks for the advice this really helps us lol.

correct  on this,we must  try to experience loses first for us to be consider as better cryptonian.

but as always?Invest what you can afford to lose.

You have a choice that I think is a very small risk. not without risk, even in a hasty way, we can make the top market assets that we buy become very risky when we choose the wrong time to invest. the right moment will be very important for us to learn.

You're right, if you didnt follow the right step (gaining knowlege, digging deeper on where you want to invest) then you might experience losses, its either for wrong decision you commit or getting scam for lacking of experience. We all want to earn good amount right? So dont rush things and search for what a trader/investor should know.

no problem, you can learn while you experience it.
so you can learn and practice at the same time.
it will have more impact, because you practice and also while analyzing the market.

investing is different from trading, investing is the same as analyzing the project clearly,
and trading analyzing prices and charts, it all must be learned first, but the lesson is different

Yeah I agree, beginners will definitely droll when they see a 10-20% ROI guarantee, and I bet they would put all of their assets without any hesitations and knowing the risk that it may bring but We can't take away that from them since they are new to crypto and very much prone into that kind of scheme.

It is still hard these days to make a trade because of market volatility. Some may find it good but for me it is not because I am not good in prediction and so hard to gamble into trading for having short funds. The pandemic has really made more.people to.struggle.especially the average and low.income earners.

Anyway it is still better to try than doing nothing trading could be good if one does have a good stratgegy in trading. Yes experience is the key to make gains in trading.

Our mindset has a great role especially if we are putting money in some investments or in trading. We should have winning mindset where we trade or we invest our money in order to earn profit and not to avoid losses but winning mindset is not enough, knowledge about what we are doing is also important so we should know what we are getting into in order for us to be profitable.

all forms of investment in crypto is the responsibility of individual self-responsibility for their trade with realized there was no coercion if a newbie make an investment they should seek information sufficient details to buy a coin that they want to buy it because of all the trades in cryptocurrency very high risk then than that for beginners should look at good or not a platform to minimize the loss of their money.

The real important thing that everyone must do first upon deciding to engage into something that is just new for them is to of course get to know it first. Do an effort to do conduct your own research about it, learn everything about it, until you better tell yourself that you are totally satisfied on what you have acquired specifically the knowledge about it.

That is the same thing that newbies must also do when it comes to investing most specially with cryptocurrency. They must have better know at first the risks associated on investing into this kind of currency for it is volatile compared to other types of investment they know. They must first seek enough knowledge they must know to avoid failure on doing investment and avoid the instance of getting off guard crossing the way with a scammer. Being knowledgeable about investment will keep you safe away from scammers and you can conduct investment at ease and with possibility to gain success on doing such. Do not ever try to do investment without knowing anything about what you wish to invest with because it is kind of a very risky move that can just lead to failure.

It doesn't matter if you do something very quickly and end up losing money, it is something we all have done before, what matters is what you do after that and how you handle it. If you do these mistakes about coins and learn from them and never do it again, it is a lesson learned, sometimes for cheap or sometimes for a lot of money but you learned your lesson and will not do it again.

However what you could alternatively do is actually continue to do your mistakes over and over again never learning, now that would be horrible. Research every single line of code in your investment coin, learn every single byte of data about them and you will not be losing any money because you won't invest into bad coins and only invest into coins that has a great potential in the future to make a profit.

For those who are new to the market and want to invest best consult the analysis of the famous group channels, because they are the ones with a lot of experience in the market, and invest when you have had enough experience

Not only for newbies who want to invest money in cryptocurency, but for all those who want to invest their money, they must first conduct research on what projects they will participate in for investment. Basic knowledge about crypto is absolutely known by everyone who joins cryptocurrency, because crypto not only promises potential benefits but can produce substantial losses if we make the wrong move and make decisions. That is due to our lack of knowledge about the world of crypto..

That is good idea but we cannot deny to ourselves that there are times that we became greedy although we are in this crypto business for a long time. I started this crypto last 2015 bu until now I still study on how to be wise in trading and investing some alts. Crypto coins are very volatile in the market that is why we need to make a serious study when trading.

Many new crypto players make mistakes when investing in a coin they did not research in detail are the prospects coin it when prices start looking up, then they buy, reality it's only a trick to get a loss
