There is a popular saying that invest only what you can afford to loose. Some people are making the mistake of investing all their life savings into crypto and other ventures. Some people even went as far as borrowing money or even using their properties as collaterals to borrow money so as to invest into crypto. This is a wrong idea and it might cost you a lot.
Every investment has its risks. So consider the the risk involved by taking each step at a time and do not jump in once.
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Well, in the bull market, I suggest everyone around me to maximize their investment by borrowing or by taking loan from bank. But it is not a good time to invest in crypto currency now. If you invest now with borrowed money, you will lose more than money. The time will come.

yea, some people think that with cryptocurrency your money would doubled like magic just because friend of them tell those people that he's become rich because of cryptocurrency, I know that we're born with greedy nature, and we can't help it, but we still need to be smart to choose the path.

Unfortunately, most people who invest all their savings, pensions, personal loans, mortgages, etc. have no idea how fierce and dangerous crypto market is as it is now (immature, volatile, and punishing). They lack the set of technical and trading skills to survive in such market, and they invest either out of desperation (there is greed, of course) or fulfiling their dream of living a better life (for their children mostly.). They hear or read stories about new millionaires emerging from cryptocurrencies, they rush in to get a slice of that hot cake, however, they quickly get stung by the market rather early, and in worst case scenario, lose all their money.

It is sad, and there is nothing to be done other than spreading awareness about cryptocurrencies.

I think it must have to be in a wise and smart decision to make. Never involve to a situation without thinking and planning.

I believe I read an article somewhere last year about a guy who sold his everything and went all in crypto. He sold his only house, only car and his wife tried to stop him but he didn't listen and convinced her that it was okay to invest that much amount of money in crypto and taking so much risk. I wonder where he is today and whether he thinks it was a mistake. He was quite excited too.

Well, from what I have read and know about business, it is not in bull time that we need to invest because you never know perhaps you will be entering while the bull has already been exhausted. Why don't we look at investing while the market price is still low? And that time is now.

Talking about the borrowing of money to chase a bull market, that can also be wrong. I have read of people who borrowed money to chase last December run thinking the move will continue in 2019 but here you and I are today Roll Eyes

Bull times are not the appropriate time to invest except you are lucky, otherwise, allow it to exhaust itself and fall back to correction.

And that saying gets written way too often on this forum.  It should be blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain, yet people feel the need to keep writing it as though it's some new piece of wisdom.

Yet no matter how many times it gets said here, people still invest money they're going to need to pay bills or otherwise can't afford to lose.  People buy bitcoin using high-interest credit cards.  They buy bitcoin on margin.  People have sold their houses to buy bitcoin.  All of that seems crazy to me, especially given how volatile bitcoin can be.  It'd be stupid to do all of that for any investment, but it's even more insane for anything crypto-related.

I agree with you. That was a big mistake. The higher the risk the higher the risk. Invest in knowledge and have limited. Only invest in the financial area allowed. If you invest in borrowed money you will always be in a state of anxiety and stress when investing.This will prevent you from making the right decision when investing.

I guess ''buy high, sell low'' is your financial advice then.

Before we invest with crypto, we must first think about the risks that will occur, especially when we invest with so much money and the money from the results of our borrowing will take a long time to return the money because the price of bitcoin is very fluctuative sometimes it rises sometimes down.

It's a big gamble when you invest all of your money for nothing. If you have some $100 in you invest it and wait until it grow. Just make some income, not making any liabilities like borrowing money from the bank to invest in bitcoin, then after a months, it nothing ? whew.

nothing easy in life there must be a struggle including in crypto maybe not as easy as you say, people will find it easy and even when they hear the success of people then people will follow in the footsteps of the person.

I sold a precious coin and regretted totally for selling the coin at that cheaper. The coin was worth $120 that time and some weeks after, there was over 200 percent increment to my surprise.

That is wise enough to have your money invested in different or precisely saying diversified portfolios. That is a smart strategy. Obviously on who will lput his entire earnings into one thing, then there is a greater risk. And that is the only reason why everyone tries to divide their savings. No doubt bitcoin is a goodd option, but taking too much risk on part of bitcoin is not advisable.

That's why studying the basics before diving deeper is always a must in order to get your funds safe and secure. Bitcoin involves money, and there's always a high possibility that you'd go bust eventually so better prepare yourself for the worst. There are ways to minimize the risk or mitigate the losses and that's what every trader/investor should focus on, not only on profiting and gaining. Controllimg every aspect of trading/investinf would aurely lead to a successful venture and eventually, monetary gains.

Yeah I don't really understand particularly how these people think that they're gonna earn more than what they had sold for Bitcoin. Like they have those guts to go all-in at the turn card while still don't have the knowledge that their game be thrown off anytime. It's not like they invested in Bitcoin blindly but what could be the thing that runs in their minds while buying Bitcoin at that amount.
