Bitcoin Forum

Doesn't need long complicated answers - just a simple question:

Do you invest
1. mainly on price/the market trends
2. mainly on the underlying usefulnesss of the token
3. pretty even split of the two.

i invest when the trend up my friend,
of course when a lot of confirmations coming in my chart, so, i have strong reason to buy
personally i use price actions strategy with few indicators to help me analyze the price

I think you are better to post a new poll with those questions above.
By the way, I have no specific category to invest in a crypto coin. I just choose which coin seems very promising to get profits in the near future. But for a long-term investment, I prefer top coins.

Ofcourse it requires deep study and analyzation about the coin/project before you invest to it. Study its trend, projection, behavior, future customers and investors and usefullness to mankind or humanity. If those things are being considered and present to the coin/project you want, then maybe it is a good project for you.

yeah, better create a poll, so we can easily choose our personal options and see the pulse of the community. but for me, i invest mainly for the usefulness of the coin. if there is no solid use case in the market, there is no way it will survive long. and that means, that project is not for long term investments.
but the likes of btc and eth, they are for long term investments. and very few coins or tokens can match their market capability

4. Lets not talk about its current price but talking about the potential that it has.
5. Real usage or utility will always be the key but of course hyping or good marketing will spark it out.
6. Diversification is recommendable but it isnt always ideal from time to time.

1. Im investing mainly on the market trend, when the market trend is bearish and i will enter the market and otherwise.
2. Correct but I'm always seeing the regular update from the project
3. Im always diversifying my portfolios into some coins. I think that this is the best strategy to decrease the risk but we will get less profit.

Yes, I Prefer do some Short-Term trading by doing some scalping depends on the current market trends since it was instant Profit even it's small.
Even it's have useful use cases but without strong team, marketing, community it won't affect anything so i rarely to invest on it and it's depends on some factor like i said before. It's only good for Long-Term Investing Strategy but basically i'm not into that, i want to get instant profit, How about u?
Nope, I prefer Option 1.

an investor knows already which coin to invest in which they've analyzed already what sort of project they are and how profitable could he be after. and then wait for market trends to avoid loss before investing.

i'm a long-term investor so i did invest a lot more during the bear market which also leads me to some loss like invest in TRON while it's $0.04 but it bounced now so i guess i'm also profiting a bit. same with EOS as it dips on $2.

The market has seen a lot of changes over time and I have planned to buy back altcoins at good prices, and I am currently quite satisfied with that decision. In general, the uptrend is still going on and there is no sign of stopping because it's all still based on bitcoin and the good signal is that bitcoin has always received a lot of attention over the pastime. I think this time is a sensitive period so please consider all the financial decisions in advance.

Overall, everyone who is already in crypto is investing, except for newbies who are still learning, I'm sure everyone here doesn't have the same capital, but everyone always has the same time to invest in new projects followed by whatever capital they can, so the main thing that the average person sees is the market trends and the use of the token he likes, the rest is not there.

I think that people will always try to see from the price and market trend, both were affecting each other and that's the main thing.

If the token has no usefulness and why do they need to buy such token? this could become the main reason why they were buying the tokens. People won't bet into the speculation token without any usefulness.

Some people were even splitting their assets into more than 10 coins or even more. It's caused by diversification is really important thing.

I have tried a couple of things with investing, especially with crypto. The first is being speculative. Predictive the market direction and hope to follow the wave and understand its cause to have more accurate predictions. The second is value investing. It's somehow better to be applying this one to the ones you are thinking of HODL-ing. It's better to know that and have a continuous averaging method with your asset.

The best one is what you believe would benefit you in the future. It's best to know that you will achieve the best thing if you know what you are doing and think you can make it. Having foresight is better rather than checking the moment and dealing with it. Both strategies' potential is excellent, and it's how the person would apply it in their life is the game-changer.

I will talk briefly about how I invest in this market, I use my money and look for small and profitable projects in the early days when I entered the market, but looking at again, I feel really lucky. I always spend the money to profit from projects to reinvest in newer and potential projects, indeed this is the investment that I have always applied over the years, it is not too complicated just You are patient enough.

I am trying to invest before the price increase. Although I can not buy at the lowest price, I can accept that because after I wait for some time, the price starts to increase. But I am not trying to invest in the token, especially the new token, because I am hard to see if the new token can increase so high in the short term unless a pump comes to that token.

If you want to invest, make sure you analyze the price to know if that is the right time to buy the coin or wait for more. It is hard to always buy at the dips because we do not know when the dip will come.

My strategy is short term but this strategy is very risky because if you take a step you can run out of funds but it's worth it when you gain big trading my source of income is buying altcoins when the market falls because I didn't stake in an altcoins i buy altcoins that are longterm and have potential.

 If you want to invest in altcoins you need to make sure that their project is good and their token is longterm because there are new projects that become unsuccessful because investors don’t like it very much and the consequence will be deadcoin.

Yes, I invest in market trends and market conditions that are already very possible, because I think that a good opportunity will not be repeated a second time.

Obviously, the use of tokens is the most basic reference that any investor should look at to find out how much the tokens can be useful and how many are using them.

It depends and is also very relative because it has different judgments on everyone who sees it from several points of view.

If you are into  fundamental then you go for usefulness of the project.
But let's say you also want to invest but you want to include your analysis for technical side like for tokenomics, the chart analaysis then it is also better.
Split the #1 and #2 is good, we should not totally rely on usefulness because even how the team of a project will flex theirs but without people to use it, it is still useless.

I have a permanent bag that I just do not touch, this will probably be used by my grandchildren unless I just happen to be dying of hunger. And then I have the fun bit, which is what I use to trade. However, I only trade when I see optimal conditions and with limited amounts, is not something I do everyday.

#3
Since it is split of the both #1 and #2. I'll change a bit about how #1 for me.
It isn't all about the price even if it is the highest among all the coins in terms of it, for the reason that I'll just trap myself to pump and dump doom in investment.
I won't look too much in market trends because I won't let myself to be driven by plainly hype.
I'll settle for longer term coin.

from the points you mentioned, I did everything, but the most frequent market trends, the reason is because taking advantage of these conditions often gives us more profit. although sometimes we have to be very observant in choosing and sorting out which cryptos are trending, not just Fomo.

I find it difficult if I have to follow the pumps that occur in market trends. Such situations always trap me in panic seeing prices rising rapidly as well as prices falling rapidly.

I always choose assets in a bear market. The asset that I chose is certainly the asset that is now in the top market and is protected from scam news. the problem of holding on for a long time I must have thought about it. I enjoy the investment I make. and two altcoin seasons, I enjoy with the advantage.

Perhaps, none of the member here in the forum will tell you accurately about their trading strategy. But this is just my opinion
only huh. Because as far as I know the majority of the community here in bitcointalk are more politics style, that's what I had observed
to tell you frankly. Moreover, my experienced in trading was the one who teaches me to earned little by little here in cryptocurrency.

I was putting my money on the coin based on the trend that will determine how strong the fundamental that owned by the project. im using the main feature token to determine the reliability of the token to be used as a long-term investment.I do believe the majority of holders were splitting their money. The combination between good fundamentals and usability will create strong support from the community.
The community will trust a coin with real usage. I have been seeing so many legit coins have very good usability

The purpose of investing is to get profit in the future. so if you ask about investment then the answer is that I invest based on the products it carries, such as eth, bnb and alt which have clear products

My portfolio now is divided into two, I identify them as short-term assets and long-term assets. The short-term assets are for the tokens that are on the trend and I know that their value will rise anytime, also could be sold anytime. And my long term assets is the one that has a good product and can be sustained. These assets qualification is based on their roadmap and current partners. Most of my tokens are bought on their dips and on their accumulation phase. In this way, my token/coin investment could give me more blooming profits.

^ My answer to your question.
1. I do invest in price in the market when it has a bearish trend
2. The usefulness of tokens is very important to invest and knowing this is very important to avoid hype projects.
3. No, combine that two options for a better result.
4. Invest in what you can afford for long-term or short-term investment.
Nevertheless, the word DYOR is very important when we talk about investing to avoid possible losses or probably a project that will turn out to exit scam later.

1. When it comes to trends then this would really be hard due to immediate shift up neither if there are certain news or just simply some random flip out.
2. Relevance or usefulness of the project would always be ideal for you to look on but this one isnt precisely giving out always the advantage because not all potential coins would really be given out recognition.

3. Diversifying is good but be sure that you do choose up the best ones rather than on considering those low cap shit coins in the market just for you to hop some 100-1000x gains which it is impossible
in todays market.

Last, dont be greedy and always stick into your plans and set up goals.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. You have to have the two options upon choosing a coin so that you're having a better result. Although it's rampant that there really are coins that are trendy and don't have a use case.

i'm doing both number 1 and 2 mate
because we need to confirm the trend before buying any altcoins also we need to know about the usecase from the tokens too for long term hodl mate
regards

Definitely the second one, there is no doubt in my mind that second one is more important about why I should invest into a coin, it is basically a much important version of the first one. This doesn't mean that price of a coin and the market trend of a coin is unimportant, that is very important for a coin and that is  what we care when the price goes up we get happy because we are richer and when it goes down we are upset because we lost money, so it is quite important.

But, I feel like the second one, the usefulness of a coin is a lot more important, we are in a situation where we try to make as much profit as we can from a coin but we buy that coin for a reason, why do we buy that coin? Because we believe in the project, why do we believe in that project? Because, that project needs to have a use-case, if it is a useless coin that means it is a worthless coin as well.

If you are a newbie when it comes to investing there is a very easy and trusted strategy that can give you good profits, buy bitcoin and hold, that is it, that two step strategy is more than enough to outperform most traders and most markets as well, can you find someone that made more money trading? Of course but they are a rarity.

What if you have a lot of experience in several markets? Buying and holding still seems like the best strategy under those circumstances, now in order to maximize the amount of bitcoin you get for your fiat maybe you want to buy during the dips but for the most part buying regularly will be good enough.

Just in the event that you hold it for the tremendous period.The market has seen a great deal of changes over the long run and I have intended to repurchase altcoins at great prices.I think this time is a touchy period so kindly consider every one of the monetary choices in advance.I consistently follow what the market is doing and start trending,I trust my token/coin speculation could give me additional sprouting benefits.

It's important to pay attention to the usefulness of the token. This way you will know if that coin is promising or not on medium-long run. At same time it's also important to invest when its price is low, so you can benefit from holding it for a while, until the currency shows some nice results on the market.

If the price isn't low anymore it can still be a good idea to buy it, just invest less.

for people who do usual trading, you will need to follow market trend , analyze charts to take trades. but long term investors will do further research which includes token usefulness and check trend for the best time to buy cheaper. combining the two makes you a better investor.

The crypto market is constantly changing, if you want to make money, you will have to independently analyze which coins to invest in. You can invest your funds in a certain percentage in such little-known coins. Part of the money needs to be invested in top assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. But to be honest, I have not come across a single well-planned strategy that will work 100%. I do not risk associating with new projects, I work only with proven coins, which have brought me profit more than once.

Me too, I am looking always for the stability of the project in the market once it is launched. I always make sure that many people will experience benefit from that coin so that it will be supported by many bacause it is usefull. Also, plus points if the project applicable generally to all kinds of industry.

First of all I'll only choose an altcoin that has a good fundamental factor. I'll just find in some social media like cointelegraph, investing.com and other.

Secondly, I'll only choose short term investing, I'll never try to invest for long term investment in altcoin, because you'll be already know when the sentiment market is change.

And next, I never spend all of my capital to buy one coin. I always deversify my capital and analyst more than one altcoin to choose for my investment. And this thing will help me to buy more when the altcoin price is decreasing but the altcoin has a good fundamental factor.

To invest I probably looked a lot at the coin that has the top position in CMC. But it does not close the possibility of me also investing
in a new project that of course it must be very promising. Of course, it takes proper analysis for this, because it  concerns the money
that ultimately has to bring for profit. The market trend  as it is now  I think it is very  good to trade besides  investing, maybe  it will
provide double the profit for those who are already proficient in trading.

Same here mate. Since I am not a pro in this industry I just did something like a DYOR and if I come up with a promising project then that is the time to decide whether or not to jump-in. For long term I think low supply coins are best or those with top 5 on coinmarketcap.

My investing strategy is very simple, just buy when the price drop (market correction) and sell it when the market recover.
If the price keep going down then i just need to hodl a lil bit longer, btw i just invest in big coins like eth btc and bnb so i don't need to worry when the price going down.

That is the basic strategy for every people who want to invest in crypto, even if they are new people. When you can buy at a low price, you don't need to worry if the price does not increase higher, but if the price is down, you have two option whether to buy more amount or wait for a while. If you decide to just wait for the price increase, you can set another strategy related to the market movements. But don't forget to have a short term and long term strategy as the market will move in both time.

I invest mainly on the underlying usefulnesss of the token because I'm not really good at trading. I usually search for a new token, a gem precisely. For me,  the best cryptocurrency to buy is one we are willing to hold onto even if it goes down and to make me sure about that is that I believe one token/coin has utility in real life, already has product, great team, and security in investment. I always wait for the best moment to do the trading, a time when the new news come.

actually, crypto investing without big risk is what you do.
but new people definitely can't do that. believe me, they have an easy feeling of panic seeing their assets. the key is patience to wait for the bull moment to come to the asset that is being held.

so in a bull market like today, if you look at the assets you say, you must have released the assets you have into the market and are waiting for the moment the market correction occurs.
actually, it's not that you don't believe the market's ability to grow higher. but securing our investment when it is profitable is very important. you did something right.

Here is where I focus mostly. It can say if the project has a future. Long-term wise it could be something else. Just like other projects out there.
Value and price will materialize once everything is set.
Also depending on his marketing team. Look deeper if they are as good as what their profile tells.
If it's not in public then ask who the marketing team will be.

Every month I do invest in the few selected coins and whenever the dips happens that is the best chance to buy our favourites coins at lesser price. This just helps you to build your portfolio and keep on investing at the prices wherever the market dips during that month. For long term investing its is important to keep on accumulating as per the need and capital available.

In general, everyone does this, but there are also things that are more profitable for other tokens on Binance with the support of several programs from the exchange, so that should also be used apart from buying at correction and selling at the time the market is recovering.

that's when you already have an investment principle. You just have to become emotionally mature when the crazy pump happens. We all feel what you feel. and all agree, because for some reason the imminent profit makes us nervous about taking profit at what price. and the solution is to fix such an advantage, and take control of the situation. it's not the situation that controls us.

It's tough to work with the market that's already peaking, though it depends from how investors / traders seen each open opportunities, there are traders who have capabilities to continue gaining whatever type of market are showing.

Traders who have a lots of experienced that knows how to ride both with long and short market trades.

to work as appealing movement with the market chart to apply different use of technical indicator to results with one of option as having with the least on risks before to comes with decision as releasing funds on request with the exchange with the market.

I invest by following market trends and splitting them into several tokens to diversify my portfolio. Because in my experience, by diversifying our portfolio, we can cover losses if one of our token prices drops.

in the current market trend of the bulls. I think you can choose several assets that will benefit you.
Most assets pump up, and when you follow the trend, that means you have few assets in the short term. Of course, it is very risky to invest in the long term when the market is in a bull state.
you already have a good way. I hope you are lucky with your investment.

most important part for me when i invest is the number two in your choices because its useless if the price is cheap but the use case is not stronger than the other coin that has a higher price and that cheap coin can remain a cheap coin forever but if you will learn to take risk in a higher valued coin you can get a guaranteed return .
if i lock my target on the coin that i love i will watch its market trend and see if it came down to enhance my investments

I believe you didn't understand well what is the behaviour of the general market. Altcoins is heavily influenced by Bitcoin Dominance so no matter how you diversify your portfolio in different tokens, You will suffer great loss because overall market tends to follow a single direction. You will be lucky to invest on token that pump while the market is dumping.

Always consider Bitcoin dominance whenever you want to enter a position. It will save you big time rather than diversifying alone your port.

I will have to disagree with you there, it is almost impossible to analyze every single coin in the market since every single day scammers release a bunch of those coins, and then even if you find a coin that is legitimate there is no guarantee that it is going to go up in value at all because we have seen many cases of coins that are basically the same and one goes up while the other never moves which means that no amount of skill is going to help you to select the right coin.

For the most part the only correct strategy in this market is to buy bitcoin I know that people think that the price of bitcoin is too high already, and I can understand why they think that but it is the only coin of which we have any guarantee that it will be here decades from now and that is worth something.

investing in one coin, you definitely want to get a profit right?
well if you want to follow market conditions, buy when the market is down on coins that have the potential to get a 50% profit at least when the market is high later

This strategy has been used by many traders I think

indeed, because with technical indicators usually we will know when the right time to enter or exit the market, even in lost buddy
i also use several indicators to help me analyze the markets

Directly answer, I helped my friend to invest in cryptocurrency. My investment strategy is straight, more altcoins with volume (not low liquidity). I invested in Pundix and AION during the month. Some altcoins price isn't pump yet, even some old altcoins. Now I'm waiting for new altcoins listed until that time. I would like to invest in old altcoins.

Simple answer from me how my way and strategy for investing in bitcoin or altcoin, always waiting when dip price for altcoin and never take risk like other trader, when some coin have raise to maximum higher price always panic for buying but is not happen for me. Keep waiting when correction is coming and have on dip price for investing, better waiting few time than have loss all because buy on the top price.

I invest for long-term purposes, so the trend doesn't worry me too much, I am after use cases and long-term potential. I buy every dip possible and do dollar-cost averaging. There are times when I trade short term, where I depend on news and market hype.

 

It's easy but a little bit tricky because everyone is promoting their coins through their own way but if you already know who telling the truth or not and you will have an idea about the probability of certain coins increasing their price, you will have a higher chance to choose the coins which will give you some profit in the future. I assume that you are referring to the long-term holder right? then the chances are so high because the choice is like a vast ocean list of coins but because of your experience, you will somehow found the right one. Just do your own research and don't follow people's opinions regarding certain coins.

The simple answer to your question "Your investing strategy" is this; Buy low, Sell high.
you don't need to rush into buying an investment instrument, especially if you are trying to buy cryptos due to its volatilities. Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is the best way to control your money and your emotion when facing markets.

I also consider the 2 first question in my set up. Price and usefulness of the tokens, market trends seems to affect all the parameters. Sometime when bitcoin pumped all other tokens and coins get pumped up as well without even looking on their usefulness. But for me I think I am 60% on use cases and 40% on market trend.

Altcoin price depend how bitcoin price, if bitcoin keep going up altcoin always allow how bitcoin way, but when bitcoin down just check you get altcoin going down, but some altcoin depend on their self without take situation same like bitcoin price, maybe this best altcoin for investing because we can get more benefit when bitcoin have lower price.

Investing in cryptocurrencies does not necessarily involve risk. The cryptocurrency market allows you to take advantage of opportunities that will easily help you start an investment. However, keep in mind that investing in cryptocurrencies does not guarantee profits. It is an investment that can pay for itself with very high returns, but there is also the possibility that you will invest money in cryptocurrencies and will lose value over time. What do you need to remember when you want to start investing in cryptocurrencies? First of all, keep in mind that when deciding to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin, or any other cryptocurrency, you must carefully watch price fluctuations and be patient. When investing in cryptocurrencies, it is worth remembering that this is a long-term investment, and cryptocurrency prices change in real time, which means that tracking rates can be crucial in this case.

My strategy to invest in any altcoin is I always choose short term investment, I never choose long term investment although I believe that the altcoin has a good future, but I never choose it.

As your curious, I always choose an altcoin that has a good fundamental factor. I always looking for some informations in any media that the altcoin is being talked.

Also, I always choose an altcoin that in the 100 top position based on coinmarketcap or coingecko. I never choose an altcoin that the below 100 position. Just buying it and set the target price then I'll make an entry sell. If the target price is achieved then I'll find another altcoin.

Thats the thing. Bitcoin movement is such a nuisance cause its really unpredictable. Imagine how these people knew them and keeps annoyed by them means they knew how good these people are and now on the conclusion to either give it up or continue to embrace a solid and strong bond between allied nations.

Indeed a very common metric used by traders. The problem sometimes with this strategy is that you get carried away by a bull or bear run and make timid decisions. For example, a lot of people sold when the price for Bitcoins dropped after reaching around $50k because they thought a bear run will follow next but they were wrong. The Bitcoin market is just too unpredictable and volatile so I rather suggest either you trade very small variance like $500 ups and downs or just invest for the long term.

Personally, I believe the best possible way to make easy money in crypto is by investing in solid upcoming projects like PolkaDot and Cardano and even BNB, risk is there that they might never gain the expected value, but the chances of profits are higher than trying to successfully accomplish day trading in this volatile market.

Buying a coin when it is very low in price it is a strategy that has been proven effective for a long time, the problem is that a great deal of people do not want to do this because they are afraid that if they buy a coin when it is low in price it has a risk of going lower, and while that is true you should only be worried about that happening to you if you invest in relatively new altcoins.

If you invest in bitcoin, or if you like to invest in renown altcoins and take a higher risk, then not only the risk that you lose money will be way lower, if you hold long enough then there is a very significant chance that you are going to make significant profits especially if you happen to time your investments before a bull run comes.

My crypto investment revolve around bitcoin and few solid altcoins like ETH, Cardano, BNB. I usually don't invest in new coins. My strategy is simple and so far effective, buy at dip and HODL.

I`m a pretty conservative investor, so I prefer to buy only those tokens, which have a solid technical base, community support and huge venture foundations behind. I mean such projects as Avalanche, Flow, Solana. All of them had the real support and it was almost impossible that they would become unsuccessful. One of the such upcoming projects is Mina protocol. My strategy is buying rarely, but trying to buy real gems

Sometimes, when the price of a coin is expected to go high like when Tesla announced Bitcoin acceptance it went higher and that is where I usually invest knowing the price will rise and sell once the market hype is over. People did the same with dogecoin but I usually avoid such instances because dogecoin doesn't have a futuristic value anywhere close to bitcoins, so in case I make a mistake in reading the market, I can come out still profitable in bitcoin but not dogecoin.

Very rarely to be honest because most of them are scams.

I don't usually make a firm strategy or anything like that. I just watch the market and follow all the news regarding upcoming coins and when I feel like a particular coin is worthy of some investment, I just do it.

I like with new coin because can be pump more than 10x just few minutes after listing, I think high risk exactly with new coin and pancake become good exchange if you want to try with new coin. But always use free money in your pocket because many new coin dump to lower price and make you loss all your money, but whey you got profit on new coin in pancake could be more than 500%.

trader might work as applying strategy on returns with the terms of evaluation to define of one with decision on option as occupying distinct of trading system and analytics to gains on extensive as collecting number of returns as shifts with the higher plan on excess with the manage of successful trading plan.

My investing strategy relies on different reasons and that can fall into different circumstances and depending upon my preference. Mostly we users are investing into a certain coin based on its price that I also do for many of us are seeking into a profitable investment which is already a given fact for us people here in crypto industry. I do also sometimes investing into what is the current trend to get along with it given the fact that I see the trend as a worthy matter for me to do investment. There are also lots of reasons why a certain individual do invest into such crypto coins and the answer relies into the individual himself.

I just keep on bitcoin situation without care what uptrend or down trend from some coin, during altcoin still depend on bitcoin always altcoin price allow with bitcoin, when bitcoin still down you never get altcoin have top price and always going down. Now you can see today bitcoin down and almost altcoin keep allow for going down.

I invest pretty even by doing my own research between the two and another factor is also effective when doing investments like this. I look for a famous Crypto-Enthusiasts that is open into reviewing different kinds of Alternate Cryptocurrencies and once I added all of those factors then I would just invest at that time. Or you can just follow your Gut feeling when you are torn deciding then just trust that it will have a good result.

Bitcoin drop and all altcoin down, you want to miss chance to get profit or just waiting see how many people get profit later when bitcoin or altcoin back to higher price, I think good moment if want to invest now because bitcoin have correction price, but wait how dump bitcoin price going on, keep dump or back to higher price.

In order to invest efficiently, get maximum profit, it is necessary to choose the type of investment that suits your goals and financial capabilities. Each type of investment product has its own advantages or benefits and risks. Everything has levels, for example the order of the types of investments with high returns but also high investment risk is Crypto in my opinion. So, don't be careless in investing, especially if you just follow the trend. Remember to carefully study the investment products and choose the one that fits your financial goals.
