Have you figured out what you are Investing in?

[wuvdoll]

Trading and investing are two different things. If you are trading a coin (as in buy when its low and sell when its high) than there is nothing stopping you from buying bad coins neither, you do not believe in the project yourself too but somehow you think it will go up and that is why you invest in that.

For example, during the early ICO boom there was a lot of coins that didn't worth anything but people did put their money in them because they believed it would go up, that is why even today those people are saying how bad ICO is because they lose money in getting those bad coins. However if you are investing than that is a long term thing and than you have to find good coins that you trust yourself as well and than you can't just put your money into anything, you have to find the good ones.

You are more or less teaching people to gamble with their investment by buying bad coins, once a project is a bad one, there is no point risking to invest in it, there is no probability it will rise, once just need to learn to overlook and move one, even if they promise heaven and earth.

In this period where we have lots of scam project, people should not really be too loose with projects, they have to be very strict and make sure that whatever project they are participating in ha absolutely 80% trust and chances of surviving in the future, I would not advise them to buy bad projects coins and keep at all.

Before it was just hype but now it is about a global decentralised currency with real world usage. When economies on a national scale begin to fall apart only bitcoin can save them.

We all know this but the thread is discussing about those that do invest without right knowledge were the market is and were it is heading to. It is very important we should be able to separate between hype and reality.  Those that invested at the end of 2017 do so because of how good the testimony of those that invested in January or February of 2017 and hold till the end of the year!  If you are trying to be just with the market it is very important you invest based on market conditions and after proper analysis of the market and invest base on those analysis and not those hype.

I think this has a point, but I don't really expect a global crisis for bitcoin to rise, it will cause big trouble for majority of people.
I want a world where there's plenty of option to invest, I am investing in stocks and crypto also because that's my way to diversify my portfolio
but I'm expecting bitcoin as a decent payment system that would continue to have an adoption, not a saver when there's a global crisis.

[Thanasis]

You are right.
They came in mostly from hype. They saw 19k USD. Their eyes widen and a dollar sign is in it.
Wrong move.
Now they are making FUD about bitcoin because they did not make profit out of it.

First, that is unwise of them to just barge in without even knowing what or where they are stepping at.
They trespass at a place usig their own money.

Now, it is still happen. Question is did they learn their lesson or they will just keep on doing it.

This is the habit of common people,we can't expect everyone to be smart and successful.If we want to be more successful we need to figure out the right coin at its early stage following someone at the later stage may needs long time or it won't happen ever.

If anyone thinks they are smarter they need to invest now since we can find the market seems bullish and convincing.

this is inseparable from the experience of the person himself. many figures are famous and smart, but I think personal analysis will be better for improving the quality of oneself. because after all that experience requires process and learning from mistakes

Majority of those who joined cryptocurrency in late 2017 was in for easy money but rode the hype. Thus, they got burned when the market started correcting the bubble. There will always be those newbies who will join because of hype. But I think by now, those who got burned in 2018 bear market has already learned their lesson and are more mature investors by now.

That is what I told my friend that feels he has made a bad investments decision by buying at $8500 when many articles and news were saying that bitcoin will not go below that level.  I seriously believe that experience and what we have learned from what happened to us especially in investing do really matter.  Many of those that got there fingers burned in 2018 dumping has learned something and that is never investing into something that they don't have much knowledge in and maybe never investing into something they don't have control over.

There's still a hype in the market maybe not on bitcoin but in other coins because its their way to attract investors. Global crisis can happen but there's no exact time for that and we can't say that crypto or bitcoin will be their best option to survive. I believe on what I'm investing for, adoption will happen and the bull will begin but the hype will still make impact in the market newbies get hyped either they've loss money or make small money.

It has also a good side on it, I have been in this field and have known many investors in real life. They also bought at the hyped and you know what? They are still holding their Bitcoin and never had the thought to sell it. Now they have little knowledge about it and how it works they even have an urge to buy more. As of now they have more than a BTC and for whatever the reason they could buy it for almost 20k USD they should be having no problem buying them at the moment at all. They are bunch of professors in my university, so I was saying that time when Bitcoin and other crypto hyped, not all have bad impact but there are good things happen also. So if these kinds of scenario keeps going, little by little it is what we called mass adoption.

[Hardtolife]

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.

if I myself understand more about bitcoin if the other people don't understand, it seems like one day my bitcoin investment, for example, the price goes up and down, it's normal because the name of buying and selling is definitely market dependent. But all smart smart we just manage it right or not.

   I bought Bitcoins before 2017 hype. In the same time I invested in some other coins and now when prices are down, those investments
lost value since then. I still hold, you lose only if you sell.
   I figured out in what I invest, it`s my future. I invest in the future technologies that are rising today. Maybe I will not have all my
investments successful, but some of them will be.

it's the same as mine where I invested in 2017 and I still hold it to this day. of course the value is very different from that time. but this is my fault for being greedy. but I am sure that it will improve later

If you already wait that far and you have the instinct to believe that this venue will create opportunities for your investment, there's no need to worry, continue to hold and there's nothing to lose, everything will be back to it's cycle, the bearish just overstayed and now the bull is keeping itself alive to run much stronger, time will  be the witness of your future success, never hesitate whatever decision you've made, expect the positive side and enjoy after,.

if we thing we get enough profits ,maybe we could sell it first.sometime we want to earn much money but keep holding our token.unfortunately price moved againts the direction.and i feel the same with you.

[shesheboy]

Of course i will figure it out before i invest on something . when it comes to crypto investments i automatically go for well known coins which was bitcoin and etherium . i dont need to do any further investigations if im only going to invest on these coins but if its an ico and ieo of course im going to figure them out first if they are came from a trusted source  or not  .

if we thing we get enough profits ,maybe we could sell it first.sometime we want to earn much money but keep holding our token.unfortunately price moved againts the direction

If you want to maximize your income , you will prefer to hodl and face for the incoming risk but if you are afraid about the volatility like me then its better if you can sell your coins for a secure profit .

The investors who started to invest on bitcoin after 2017 they are definitely in loss, because they did investment in late. My close friend who bought bitcoin in $15000 and still he hold it because he invested on bitcoin very late.
When bitcoin was on pick in 2017 then people started to attract on bitcoin and a huge people invested on it because they thought in 2018 was same like 2017, but our speculations was wrong, and in 2018 a huge people have lost and now they are standing in line when bitcoin will grew and then they will get profit. But now it is down fall of bitcoin price so it is good opportunity to buy bitcoin.

Yeah that's true, it is not going to be in favor of everyone that invests in it. There are people who are going to lose and there are people who are also going to win. When people lose. They are money are taken by those that wins and that's how it is everywhere. And price cannot confine to go up like forever, there are times that the price will go down and there are also times when it going to go up. But, some people always think that bitcoin is a quick money making scheme and they just jump in without doing any calculations on what they are about set their foot on.

I am always with bitcoins alone as bitcoins value is determined by the people that considers it as valuable, so when those people are buying it, the price continues to rise and when they start to sell you will see the price will plummet.

This is not a new thing and by the way, anyone that is going into bitcoin should have known before then that it is volatile, cause I don't really see why anyone would just wake up and hear someone mention Bitcoin and without researching about it they would just jump into it, that's really stupid. Before I started buying Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency I made a lot of research about them to know everything about them and how they work.

There will always be those newbies who will join because of hype. But I think by now, those who got burned in 2018 bear market has already learned their lesson and are more mature investors by now.

Suppose, the times of this hype are over. I am sure that Bitcoin will grow but it will not do is as fast as it was in 2017. As for investment in altcoins, sure, I always learn about the alt before I buy it.
