To be or not to be. What to invest in?

[1Referee]

Apart from that, I agree that you have to take your age into account when investing, although you didn’t state it like that: If you are 55 years old and you are well off, it is crazy to go all in with bitcoin whereas if you are young and you are building a capital it has more sense.

Age is a good point. If you're young you have more free space to take higher risks because you have enough years ahead of you to correct your prior mistakes. If you do the same if you are way further in life, it's better to look for more stable ways of growing wealth; messing up at an age of 55 or older means you probably won't ever be in a position to correct your mistakes financially.

Although in this case I’d prefer to split the investment between good stocks or index funds and bitcoin.

In the end it's all a personal choice; if you think splitting investments is the best way to move forward for you, then you have to follow that route.

What I don’t agree with is that supposed hidden agenda of the powerful elite to make people poor through making them to think that diversification is a good idea.

Diversification is nothing more than you countering risks. In the end the result is either a marginal loss or gain, unless everything increases or decreases all at once. The underlying aspect is that you by diversifying (as people have been taught to do), make sure money keeps flowing in assets it otherwise probably wouldnt flow in.

Diversification is common sense, with all the considerations I stated above and others: your age, your current assets/wealth, your income, your debt, your knowledge on finance and bitcoin, etc.

It's common sense because you have been taught to think like that. What's there in it for a youngster being 25 years of age if you follow all the bookish ways of 'generating wealth'?

Here from all these options of investment products, i would like to invest in cryptocurrency for short-term trading purposes and also for investing purposes i would like to invest in Real estate and in trading bullion products like Gold because these two are having equal demand and value compare to cryptocurrency and this is the reason cryptocurrency, gold, and real estate are the good options for investing .

[normanz]

Real estate and gold are safer and lower risk, but cryptocurrency can provide better returns. That is an option and from that I prefer cryptocurrency.

[just_Alice]

Investing in bonds in kind of a relic of the past and here you're not taking less risks, than while investing in cryptocurrencies. You know that bond prices fall as interest rates rise, which isn't that easy to predict. I think if you're a crypto and trading master the chances to find the right coin would be much higher for you, than to find the right company (not to mention that scams are possible). Gold and silver - agree with you here, practically safe choice, low risks in losing money. And real estate due to its longevity becomes more unpredictable. You have to invest a lot (you can't invest 500$, as you do in crypto world) and you have no idea what can happen - a war in the country, estate goes on fire, new competitor on the market, etc. And BTC three times yes, the end justifies the means, even the thing that you mentioned (that BTC daily price fluctuations can go up to 25%) is a great advantage, just think how much you can gain on daily BTC trading if you learn the fluctuations consistent patterns.

Forecasts for bitcoin in 2018 are rather ambiguous. On one hand, some analysts predict gloomy future due to the current unstable situation.
  On the other hand, optimists predict bitcoin a rapid increase in quotations, which must exceed its maximum threshold next year in the history of the existence of cryptology.
  Although Bitcoin is still in a state of uncertainty. So many of you were wondering what to invest. Therefore, I had the idea to write a several alternatives for investing.
1. Bonds
A good alternative to deposits is bonds. The plus of this instrument is the absence of taxation. And from the same deposits, the tax on income of natural persons in the amount of 18%. But the percentage is different in different countries.
2.Gold
Investments in precious metals should be considered with a sight for 3-5 years.
Silver and gold are traditionally considered to be a long-term instrument to protect you against inflation. They are also interesting because, in 2018, the growth of the cost of precious metals can reach 10-20% in the world. And this gives the possibility of additional income. Therefore, you can invest up to 20% of savings, for example, invest monety / ingots or look at the so-called gold deposits.
3.Real estate
To invest in real estate is required neatly. You can choose an attractive option for a long time in the secondary market as well.True, it must be remembered that investment in real estate pays off for a long time - 10-20 years. And in the case of force majeure, housing will not be sold quickly .
4.Bitcoin: Interesting, but risky
In cryptology you need to invest carefully.The market is speculative, can sharply grow and fall. In 2017, bitcoin cost about 19,000 dollars, now - about 8 thousand dollars. Intraday fluctuations of the Crypto-currency may be 25%. You need to have iron nerves to withstand the jumps, because you can lose everything.At the same time, how much will Bitkoin cost at the end of 2018, it is unknown, because all bold forecasts have come true. But one should not think that cryptography is a costly investment.

Therefore, the choice is up to you as always.

Gold is a safe investment asset, but if you invest in gold, it is difficult to make a profit in a short time. I will prioritize investing in real estate and cryptocurrency. Because for me, real estate and cryptocurrency will make a lot of profit

[idontcare]

Real estate and gold are safer and lower risk, but cryptocurrency can provide better returns. That is an option and from that I prefer cryptocurrency.

That is also why I want to invest in cryptocurrency. I know about the crypto market there is a lot of risks. But if we invest cryptocurrency, we will certainly make more money than investments such as gold and real estate.

[lsmf]

Investing in the crypto market is something very appealing because it differs from the normal applications that have high fees, bureaucracy, difficult tools to use, and excessive third-party control. The crypto market really is fascinating. But at this point, the question that we must analyze is: why is the market rising now? Is it related to ETF news? Is it related to the US-China trade war? Is it related to any other news or the news are mere arguments to move the market?
We may be seeing a rise caused by institutional investment, although there is no disclosure about it. As the crypto market is focused on privacy, large investors (whales) can make their moves fairly discreetly.
The price increase for Bitcoin is good, but you have to be careful with the whales, because when you least expect it (it can be a week, a month, six months, and so on), these speculators can realize their profits and bring the market a lot down, causing damage to many people.
It's a risk. Anyone who wants to take this risk can win or lose. This depends on charting a smart strategy, tracking market movements, and knowing the right time to enter, stay, or leave.

[Mt.Fun]

I have never invested in investment forms such as gold, real estate, and bonds. My first investment was Bitcoin, and until now, I'm still investing in Bitcoin and altcoin. I hear people talk a lot about gold and bonds. They say that gold and bonds are not making a lot of profit as Bitcoin

[Masleo]

Basically all types of investments have a risk magnitude respectively. For example real estate that we consider safe can be destroyed someone and we will lose our assets. For me to know and understand risk is the most important lesson before we choose what the most appropriate investment for our personal whether low-risk or high-risk are in our own hands.

[donskova29]

Invest in Cryptro currency market. Been here for quite a while, understanding once investment it all started on the learning the process, the trends, market structures, the market price value, above all understanding that the market is Volatile, anything can happen at any given time. Bitcoin is the most stable coin posted on the crypto market today..so, i will invest in Bitcoin.

[putriliesma]

If I have money of course I will invest in bitcoin because I think even bitcoin at risk will get more benefits than you invest in a place other than the crypto world.

[Kimi80]

I would decide to invest in gold and silver, I find them most secure of these four. But at least 20% of my investment founds would go on buying and holding Bitcoin, I think that it is good investment at this moment. Really believe that price will grow in the future.

[hisuka]

If I have money of course I will invest in bitcoin because I think even bitcoin at risk will get more benefits than you invest in a place other than the crypto world.

If we have more money to invest let's not look into one investment. All of it has a risks so I will consider bitcoin, gold and real estate. Well depends on us on how we can manage our investment but we should understand the risks and how we can earn profit.

[Vs225655]

If we have more money to invest let's not look into one investment. All of it has a risks so I will consider bitcoin, gold and real estate. Well depends on us on how we can manage our investment but we should understand the risks and how we can earn profit.

That's all the risk, but the gold I have to rent has the slightest risk. And it will always be in the trend.

I think it’s a matter of choice, you can even invest in all of them as long as you have the money. Though as for real estate, I don’t think it is something you can just get into, if you don’t have enough money then I don’t really think real estate is for you.

That’s one reason why I like Bitcoin, no matter how you have you can invest it in Bitcoin and make profit, it’s not like other investments that requires lots of money neither is it like those that will take you years before you gain something from it.

[MeganRice1212]

There is a lot of crypto in the world, and more and more investors are still looking for crypto to grow this year. Coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, or Ripple tend to go up fast in the future. I think investors should learn and invest in currency.

[Boris_sahnevich]

FlipNpik is an excellent project. I invested in this company and participate in the campaign bounty.

Investing in any of the above requires a lot of patience. But the fact remains that even at this stage one can only speculate about bitcoin and that even by keeping a very broad range. To invest means to have a surety of return and the principal amount, and yes bitcoin has grown beyond expectations in the last 5 years, but at this stage it has become almost impossible to predict where will bitcoin be in the next 5 years.

actually, this is our opportunity to have a new type of investment in cryptocurrency because we have so many option coins to invest. cryptocurrency is for every people, from rich people to poor people and they can buy any of coins without any limit and they can choose from the expensive coins or cheap coins. it all depends on their money and their decision but of course, they need to analyze for every coin that they want to buy and don't panic if the price is getting down. this is the basic rule for the investor that they should know.

Invest in the electronic money market, as they can rise or fall

Yeah this is best advice that is dire need of time now. As we all know the world is totally moving towards technology and the development of human race is even amalgamated with digitalization. So don’t just let yourself down rather take it as best chance. You have good time to make it through. You may regret in next few years if you don’t take a good step this time.
