What is your best investment strategy?

[Wandering Soul~]

In the crypto world, there are many opportunities for profit. My strategy for now is to follow the ICO which offers a whitepaper that good and promising, I saw Golem and Wings offers a cool thing. Another strategy is to follow the run of trade exchange, I feel monero, dash, and ethereum will have a high value in 2017. I am also interested to invested in hardware, to start doing mining altcoin using GPU.

I have to agree that investing on altcoin is one of the best investment in crypto world to consider but I don't think ICO does . The number of successful ICO's are only a few some are just scams and some developers will just vanish after collecting their desired amount . To be honest it is just a plain disappointment . Though I have to agree that it can be profitable if you have chosen the right coin .

Buy low, sell high (not day trading obv.)
And then I look at the alternate cryptocurrencies section to see what Altoin may or may not get pumped next, and decide if I want to risk or not.

That is a quite simple, easy and working strategy for trading i guess, even day traders follow that thing, they buy coins and wait at the end of the day to see if the price increases or not, and then they sell them if the price increases and if it doesn't then they may hold them for the next day.
This is actually the best strategy for earning more bitcoins.

That's called gambling, not investing. It's just speculation. You're buying an asset and hoping it will go up without any real indication that it will. "Buy low sell high" is generic, worthless advice. It's like going to a gambling casino and saying "the key to profiting at blackjack is drawing a 21." It's worthless, self-evident advice. Knowing what you have to do to profit is not the same as having the ability to do it. In either case, your ability to "win" is completely outside of your control. That's why it's not investing.

Typically, professional day traders and scalpers don't follow "that thing". Without getting too technical (and there are in fact many different techniques), their strategy hinges on riding the trend ("trend is your friend"). Statistically, the price has more chances to continue rising once it has started rising (the same refers to falling prices as well), and if you place your stop-losses wisely (which is a must for day-trading), you can scalp more profits than incur losses, and thereby book net profits more often than losses at the end of the day. Obviously, you can ride the trend on the way down as easily as on the way up...

Though things get more intricate when the price is trading sideways and there is no clear-cut trend

Yes, momentum trading. I'm familiar with it, although I don't employ it myself. My investing time frame is far longer than day traders, so I don't have any interest in it for myself. But also, the investments I make are in businesses that create profits, not in an asset that is speculative. The price appreciation I gain is therefore tied directly to the underlying business becoming more profitable, which drives the stock price higher. A technical approach also could work for bitcoin, I have no doubt, but it's still on a speculative asset, and also, I don't see anyone ever talking about technical analysis on these boards. It's always very general and unsophisticated predictions on what the price would do, and then they want to call that "investing" when it's far more gambling than not.

[Monnt]

Go all in blind.

That seems to work for me.

 

Then better visit a gambling site and try your luck because at least then you might win but blindly buying a coin as investment might be and actually will be very risky since 99% coins in market are very risky.

The best investment plan is to buy a alt coin that seems promising and have faith in your decision, don't sell it too quickly just because price if going down.

[deppil]

My strategy is very simple buy and hold, it is not the one with the best earnings ratio but it is very easy to execute, if there is a big rise in price I will sell a small portion of my bitcoin like 10% and wait for a decrease in price, that way I keep accumulating more and more bitcoin.

why do not you sell it all, would not it be more profitable? because you can buy it back when the price falls. yeah every user has a different strategy, I respect your strategy dude

   You buy and hold, I work, earn & hold. I dont invest money I earn on work in bitcoins, I invest myself in order to earn more on monthly level.
   Holding bitcoins look like great investment at the moment, in 7 years bitcoin made a lot, and future can be on bitcoin side. Even with recent drops I'm positive about increase like other  members here.

Many people not have time and skill to see the price. Safe way for long term investment is buy and hold, sometimes I used this strategy because I work in the forest that not have more time to see the price.

Bitcoin is for all type of investors, if you cannot be a day trader you can always invest and treat it as your long term investment. The good news is there's more success holding in the long run than trading it regularly. You can see the price will pump and dump but bitcoin is a strong currency, we just have to believe that this will exist and more successful in the future so we can also benefit from its success.

Yes, you two are have good strategy. My strategy is simple just sell bitcoin when the price is rise. So I can avoid suffer of financial lost.

And you can also add to it that after selling wait again for the price to decrease and when you already saw the price dumped. Then it is the right time to buy bitcoins from the profit that you got and you will just repeat what you have done before. Wait again for the price to increase and just do the repetition.

in addition to invest and hold bitcoin I also earn bitcoin of various methods such as Siganture campaign, it will provide multiple benefits dude. because it combines the method would be better right?

That sounds like a euphemism to me

Many "future" investors first try day-trading, and when the price goes against their position at the end of the day, they don't close it (as what real day traders would do) but continue to keep it thereby turning into "long-term investors" eventually (or just the bag holders). All they are left to do is just hope that "bitcoin is a strong currency" and that it will "exist and [be] more successful in the future"

[Doamader]

I doubt anyone here were expecting another drop at bitcoin since it loose some from the first week and went into 850 dollars, i never thinked it would return anything lower then 800 dollars, soo nowadays there isnt a best way to do or trade with bitcoin, there is always risks associated to those. Altcoins sounds more trusted way to invest and protect your capital at the moment.

[The_prodigy]

For me the best way to start investing is to observe first where you invest your money Second thing is check the reviews and the information about the company and the third one is never regret what will be the result of what you actually did. I always invest on ico where they have bonuses always. i can make money there.

[StarofBTC]

We must learned how to take a risk in very investment that we take,likewise never put up on things that you were unsure of it.Find resources that are very useful and can be competitive of everything that makes a good source of money,never invest on something that in return that are not very useful.

it is a good strategy because by investing in something that is useful and popular. certainly demand for that product will always be there and the profits will always be maintained, then your profits will also continue to flow

Do not make any investment if you do not have any knowledge about the economy or the products. You will absolutely lose your money. You must learn how to take a risk in the wise way, not just throw all your money through a window and expect it to comeback. It is impossible. Be smart.

Yeah actually very true and much better is to buy bitcoins and hold them until the price hikes and once its very high then sell it and then again wait for it to get a little lower and then again buy them. Though I know I might be saying this after 100 people already said it but since people keep asking such questions we might have to repeat.

[PokerFace3]

I invest in Bitcoin whenever prices goes down, and trade them when price up.
Beside that i invest in Altcoins as well , ratio for BTC vs Alt Coin is : 85:15

Nice idea and which alt coins you invest bro ?
Because you joined our community just 58 days back and in that short span of time you are quite intelligent to learn that much. Please also often share with us all which coins you buy and your tricks about trading/investment because sometimes even newbies can show a path to senior members.

Well i think the opposite of yours, because i feel people have gotten a chance to invest in bitcoin right now because the price has dropped back to $800 straight from $1100 so if someone was wishing the price to drop so that they can buy more so it is the time for them to buy and hold, surely the price will rise again.

[FaucetRank.com]

My best strategy to invest my money  buy Bitcoin  when price is low and sell when price is very high than buy again when it falls down that is easy but what is hard to know that which price level is high or which price level is low as we can not predict Bitcoin.

[South Park]

That seems to work for me.

Putting all your money in something seems like a bad idea because you will lack diversification, but since bitcoin has returned to the previous levels before the bubble it seems  like a nice moment to buy some bitcoins.
