Have you figured out what you are Investing in?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

The problem with people who are investing out of hype is that, they are not really aware what caused the hype.

Of course they're not.  They see asset X making the news by skyrocketing in price, hear about it over and over in the media and finally decide to gamble on asset X.  In 2017, asset X was bitcoin.  All throughout history, it's been other assets/investments/whatever.  After all the little people have flooded into the market, any bad news can kick off a decline leading to panic selling.  Once that happens, asset X crashes back down to earth.

I didn't jump on the bandwagon in 2013 when bitcoin was booming.  I was very skeptical and thought it was some stupid internet money that would never find a user base.  I watched with detached amusement as the Mt. Gox debacle unfolded and bitcoin crashed.  But I also saw that the community was strong and was composed of hardcore enthusiasts, and eventually I started believing bitcoin could be an excellent investment.

Right now I'm looking into staking PoS coins, which currently aren't being hyped to death, and some of them are trading at fairly low prices.  I think now is a good time to get in, when everyone isn't pouring money into them and driving up the prices.  By the way, that's called buying low and hopefully selling high.  Heh heh.

we arent name perfect for one big reason because we aint
we made mistake,maybe we went too greedy or got hyped (FOMO)
in my own experience i know the market is that volatile
i just dont know what strategy to do and maybe went a little greedy but
 Now i know and i hope my fall down from 2018
 i will be able to avoid from happening again,.

Currently, there are no great options like 2017, so I choose IEO as an alternative. But this also has high risks because of the beginning of projects that no longer bring profits to investors. Or maybe this will be the new era of cheap Altcoins.

Almost all options in 2017 were goddamn terrible unless you got out in time. I would not call any of them great.

It'll be interesting to see what is latched on to if there's another mania phase. ICOs are thankfully dead with stake hammered up their sphincter just to be sure. It may even be Bitcoin itself but that's a crazy notion.

But most ICO projects in 2017 are successful and profitable for investors.
And more, than many exchanges released in 2017 and they generate their exchange token. This brings more benefits to the first investors involved in trend change projects.

The hyped in 2017 cause bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies to surged toward the end of the year and complete crashed back to the bottom in December 2018. Did people really know what they are investing in?  Is a question that keeps ringing in my mind and actually the answer to that question is that people follow the hype and forgot to  checked for reality before investing and this come from the testimony of those that has claim of making big profits or gain from the past surge that came into the cryptocurrencies market.
I think the red flag there is that people think of what they are going to get from their investments into cryptocurrencies more than the capital they have invested and as results when the reality done on them,  they began to sell out of panic and in turn the market clash like it happens through 2018.
Now that we have another opportunity to invest because of the down turned,  I do believe that it is good you look at the reality behind any coin you want to invest in and not the FUD,  manipulations,  FOMO and hype behind those coins.

So, people who are loyal to bitcoin have invested in it back when it was worth less than a dollar, and they kept true to that and they did so because they support it not to get massive profit, and those who invested in it only when it reached 19k back in 2017 are just in it for the money and now they cry because it went down, this market is not for them because it requires patience and nerves of steal to be rewarded and those who supported over the year were able to get it. and this goes the same for the other crypto currencies, if you invest in one of them you have to truly believe in it and keep supporting even through the loss to be able to get profit.

[Adriano2010]

Well always i wanted to invest on bitcoin as much as possible, even if was 2017 or now, i preffer top coins, but there maybe can be some projects which can value low now and give a good amount of profit.

[BitHodler]

But most ICO projects in 2017 are successful and profitable for investors.

Are you kidding me? The only players these ICOs were profitable for were those behind the ICOs, and those who gambled and by luck made a ton of profit. In both cases it only concerns a small number of people.

Most people lost a lot of money due to their bad investments in "world changing" projects. Is it their fault? It surely is, but that doesn't change the fact that most people lost money.

And more, than many exchanges released in 2017 and they generate their exchange token. This brings more benefits to the first investors involved in trend change projects.

Only exchanges benefit from these tokens, because something that had no value when created, suddenly is worth hundreds of millions up to a few billion in Binance's case. It's ridiculous and very harmful to the ecosystem.

   It took me years to figure out but I've realized that I've been investing in everything but myself. That will be my greatest investment.
   As far as crypto is concerned, I stopped investing my time on short term goals and starting focusing on long term investments.

People will invest in dog shit, if there are some reason why dog shit's price would skyrocket in the future.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm confident most people who piled in only had one thing on their mind and it was dollars, not decentralisation. Since the creators of almost all coins were only doing it for dollars too then there's a certain collective honesty there, albeit an unspoken one.

Well, if you decide to invest in dog shit, then you should not complain when it smells. These investors should do the basic research into the commodities or technologies that they invest in, so that they are familiar with the pros and cons of investing in these types of investments. We know a bit more about the technology, so when FUD is spread in the media, we can identify it and ignore it.

These clueless investors are running for the hills, with the slightest bullshit that are plastered on social media. <Newbies panic and old dogs stand their ground.>

These two years we have seen so many ups and downs in cryptocurrency, I bet no one among us has never been scammed one or another either from investing or from a bounty hunting, we have gained a lot of experiences from all of these so if you are still listening to all the hype and fuds that means you are not yet learning a lot of from the past three years, it's very important that you know fully well the coins that you are investing.

There was no problem buying some like that of coins actually we can earn money for investing that kind of coins.
But we make sure if that coins is have a future if not must better to sell it early or not invested on it before you loss of profit.

[mu_enrico]

99.9% of tokens are crap, and ICOs are scams. Thank God I only invest in a couple of graphics cards. Now I hold some bounty tokens with almost zero value. Hence, I'll only collect Bitcoin if I have excess cash.

Yes of course we need to figure out what we are investing into just to make sure we are in the right track. Some people invest because of emotions like greediness and go with the flow of hype which will sometimes end up like hell to their investments. I think long term investment with the trusted cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin and Monero or those that are listed on top 20 coins in coinmarketcap are good choice.

[akram143]

Yes definitely it will be the most important process for every investors do in his investment and trading because the continuous thoughts about your investment will only make you to get the exact income for your investment and it will be the right idea to get your investment to a long period of time.

A vast number of people tend to invest in coin which is viewed a promising and potential one. Especially, it goes without saying that investing in bitcoin is more highly attractive. Because bitcoin is the most dominant and a powerful coin in the crypto market as a whole, most people grow a big faith on it. Besides, altcoins is appreciate to invest effectively. In a nutshell, taking time to make some research before investing is necessary.

I really know about how can I made a decision in this time because I have no options about selling I had the only option keep my hold on for long time and it needs not to be more considering about my investment if the Bull Run was happening I definitely Keep following every time what my investment is going now.

[mersal]

Yes I do every time when invested and I make the figuring out is always been in my mind set and it will one of the important thing to do everyone who are invested and make their development to stable here without doing some kind of thing like this you cannot feel like we are in good path that's why it is more important.

You missed out that golden opportunity eh? Hehe. Being anxious or skeptical on your decisions to the things on what you are engaging cant really be avoided.We do have our own will to judge things up and presuming that we might able to do a bad move and completely waste up our money.When it regards to PoS coins,I've been eying that too and you are right they arent being hyped nor being dumped to death.
Still keeping low and sideways.When the entire market tends to bloat again then we might see some possible profits if these things would react.

[sheenshane]

It is really funny to think that people are only attracted to hypes without even knowing the cause and what would happen next and ending up with the mindset that they were fooled and scammed. As an investor, of course, you have to know what will you get involved and what are the things that you would consider as the thread and advantages of that specific investment.

If you really want to earn a profit, then you have to make sure to be smart and using your brain instead of you being an impulsive person. Investing is something is expecting for a profit, and you have to make sure to achieve that.
