Have you figured out what you are Investing in?

[Yutikas_11920]

I have come to the conclusion that investing into major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Binance coin are the best because with these cryptocurrencies there are new investors who come on board every now and then but with ICOs they are mostly full of pumps and dumps.

I don't think you currently know how investors feel that they are currently disappointed because they often see ico failing and they are often hit by scams, now many investors prefer to participate in IEO rather than ICO.

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.

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.

Only stupid and stubborn people who don't learn from mistakes, and in 2018 teaches many people that buying at ATH and when high prices are bad thing, there are times when you have to look at market conditions, not buy when many people tell you to buy.

It is not so easy for many people to make decision as regards when to buy mate, yes, they all know that the best position to buy is when the value of the coin has bottomed, and not ATH. If you look at the case of 2018, because many people believed in the cryptocurrency and not just what people said, they thought the value will keep growing and nobody ever imagined that there will be turnaround as it was first of its kind.

Majority of us fell for it and we have all learnt from it but it also has its repercussion too, unlike before when crypto prices starts rising abit, many people will fomo and start buying at large, but now, no body respond to uptrend of the cryptos that much again till they are very sure the time has come.

Investors still need to be wise too when it comes to ICOs, they should not completely still rely on them because anything could still happen, because it is IEO will not stop the project from failing or end up being dump till it becomes useless, and anyone holding them for long will become a bag holder.

There are some IEO on some exchanges that are just equivalent to ICO too, because another way scammer works is to enter exchange is and distribute useless and dumped token to the investors and then pack up. IEO also have the tendency of doing so if we still don’t take precautions too, but chances of getting scam is still 50% lower to ICO.

The truth is people like me and many of us here, are having a hard time if we really invested in the right coin, I have seen so many coins that have huge hype before the launch of their platform only to fall miserably, and then there is this one coin IOVO which I thought would be bigger because big names are on it, and they have a good platform but unfortunately, they did not live up to expectation.

Remember that whether it is an IEO or an ICO, these things are really about insiders (the developers) cashing out by selling to outsiders.

The same thing applies to Initial Public Offerings (IPO's) of stocks. See the listing of Lyft shares. They bombed, so all those initial investors are hurting badly. The only people happy are the insider venture capitalists who cashed out.

If you think a coin offering has potential, don't go in at the start. Wait till it has finished it's inevitable initial pump and dump and then buy in cheaping on an exchange.

FOMO was indeed a significant factor back in 2017, why people invested blindly during the ATH, and ultimately suffered from huge loses. I always apply critical thinking when it comes to investing. To answer your question, I believe in taking measure in every action in order to mitigate the risks. Nowadays, I think it's best to go with the more established coins such as BTC, ETH, LTC and BCH.

[yanetriwidia]

myself before investing, I have to make sure what I will invest before because I myself have been cheated by people because my knowledge of investment was very lacking at the time and now I am always careful before investing in crypto, because crypto is also very dangerous in my opinion because it has very large profits and losses that are of the same magnitude, therefore I have to learn carefully before doing an investment with large funds in it.

[xabre]

Only choose the best potential altcoin like ETH, BCH and BTG for my investment, I am afraid with new altcoin for investing because when lower price will be hard for raised to higher price again.

[hashman]

Well, it would be ridicilous to expect crypto market to keep growing forever. Sometimes it might crash back and it would be very normal. In this market state, the best we can do is to observe the market and increase our knowledge about cryptocurrency. It might be a chance to catch some opportunities and find the right coins to make an investment.

This is the only sensible thing to do, right now it is simply too risky to invest in any ico at the start of the project, you need to see how the market receives this coin and if that means that you lose some opportunities to make money because of it then so be it, if the coin is any good and you have a profitable strategy you are going to have plenty of opportunities to make even more money so that should not be something that worries you.

Basically, if you investing at high price altcoin, will be that guaranteed you not losing your investment. Investing at a new startup/project will be worth if they really developed the project seriously, I also really like went the team has their own funding for their project. Its make all demand pure by the market and lets the market decide by them self because of the development. So no ico funding on their project.

Yes it is not good and advisable to invest in more than one coin or in new coin because there are risk now a day, some people told me about scamming projects in new coins, so invest in only well known coin and promising projects should be join, I think it is good to invest in BTC and EHT because both of them are high potential coins.

[lobat999]

Except Bitcoin, I reckon I could identify several niches in crypto industry like privacy coins, 4th generation blockchains, stable coins, exchange coins, etc, and assess and select the best projects on each niche and invest on it.

Altcoin are still not bad to invest in too, I have seen dead altcoins rise back to life during the time bitcoin was consolidating, you know during the bull run, the developers becomes active then and start promoting their project, so new investors will still invest in them and end up parking their money for the older ones.

I still have lots of these altcoins that looks very promising but down in value now because investors sold off their investment prematurely, so believe me, they will rise too, but the best of investment will typically be in that type of coin you earlier mentioned.

I distributed my investments between bitcoin, ethereum and EOS.  I think it's better to have less coins but more to invest.  I think there will be more profit.

That depends on your strategy because you are the one who sees the risk and evaluate your chances.
As long as you are investing in legit coins which has good potential, that's good, some could diversify to more than 10 and some less than 10, it doesn't matter, what matter is you are fully confident with your decision as you thought of it properly.

If you learned finally that people used to cheat you, the best decision for you will be NOT to listen to anyone and explore the market relying on your knowledge and intuition. It will work much better.

For me better to have more different coins that you invested but make sure it is potential. Don't put most of your money to the few altcoins because for me the best strategy is to have more coins in your wallet incase the coin dump do you still remain a coin who did not dump. But investing to the few coins is sometimes is good because once it rise you will gain more money.

[UNOE]

I am learning more about cryptocurrencies every day, but still I could not tell that I understood everything. I can say that I know more than people in my surrounding knows, and to them I am crypto expert which I am surely not. I am more encouraged to buy at lower prices than on higher prices, but these points are relative to time frame on which you are looking.

If you are invested heavily on these three coins then better to diverify your capital into more coins to reduce factors.

Less coins better for a trader to circulate the capital too often into multiple trends to make profits but when we are invested into very long term then reducing risk also good thing.
