Small assets, trade or invest? Good decision?

[judaspriest]

I think small capital is better to trade futures or options, because small capital can be a lot,
but if you invest in a spot market, small capital will not make a lot of money

[BobBct]

When i trade i tend to keep a open mind on what's happening. because the crypto market is way more volatile than stocks. Which can be both bad and good at the same time. But if you have the time and patience i would suggest you to try and learn about trading. Whilst when you invest you are dependent on the coin/project you invested on. Which can go both ways. So i would recommend just do your research before investing on something even if it's just a small amount.

The most important of crypto short-term investments are safety, liquidity, and returns, and money market accounts have these characteristics. While you can buy any number of shares, if you're investing to make money, you'll probably want to try to buy at least of investment of market.

I don’t know, I can’t completely agree with you. Crypto market is one of the most dangerous places to invest.

It offers very good prospects, but they are not stable and involve extremely high risks that few people realize and few can afford such risks. 90% of people over the past 3 years have lost from 50% to 99% of their deposit.

I am sure they, like you, were thinking that the crypto market is a great alternative to other investment environments.

For people who do just jumped in just because they do saw from other that they do earn 10-100x-1000x back in the past doesnt even know on what are the risk involved here on crypto space on which they do just throw up their money without even knowing or making up some research on how thing works until they do bust out and loss almost their capital entirely.Mistakes are common though but we should always make our own research first before making any step because it would surely cost you if you do directly move without even thinking carefully. Small assets can somewhat do make profits depending if you do know on how to trade actively and effeciently
but if it doesnt work then try other investment options.Its just a matter of trial and error.

Indeed it depends on the knowledge and capability of the crypto user.
Whether trading or investing, someone should know what's going on before jumping in any one of them.
Some crypto users go to trading doing short term strategy and gaining profit rather than investing their portfolio where you need to wait for certain period of time.
So for the OP, it doesn't matter if he goes to investing, as long as he is comfortable on his decision and he knows very well about the market that he is into, there's no problem with that.

There are too many unknown factors on the market that can seriously affect the entire market.

Ignorance of these factors or the absence of assumptions about them introduce a very strong error in calculating potential profits.

When buying cryptocurrency at the highest levels in 2017-2018, the majority did not expect what would happen next, everyone was sure of further success.

Main mistake for most people when they being dragged with FOMO and its not a new thing because this market is unpredictable

but if we do think up carefully we can always take out and securing our profits when a certain peak hits up.Due to greed then we do

decide to held even more longer and thats why we do end up on bagholding and still waiting for the right time to sell for us to break even.

Market movement nowadays is too damn slow and for those who do held up up to these days would really have that kind of upset feeling.

I have a small asset too, I prefer investing than trading. On trading, if you have small capital your gains are small too. Unless you hit a jackpot with x100 leverage. Worst scenario you have trading losses and your small capital is getting lower and some are just being played by whales. I guess you are doing the right thing.

BTW, I have never seen a legit investment platform for cryptos. are you HODLING or investing your cryptos to a certain platform to get interest return? Can you name a few?

There is some gambling site that accepts investment and they give some returns, you can find that on gambling discussion posted by Yatsan. Also, Staking is a good option too, you are just leaving your crypto on a certain wallet and it grows but the profit is not that high. Some give only 10% APR.

I think there will be no wrong desicion for that. Both have different ways to earn, It depends, if you have the ability to trade then trading is good for you but if not, much better to invest it.

It's easy to talk about things and events after the fact.
Over the past two years, Bitmex has eliminated hundreds of millions of dollars in every major Bitcoin movement.

These are deposits of large players with fairly extensive experience over the years.
However, why are so many of them still not taking profits and suffering losses?

Because there are a lot of factors that need to be predicted, and most even experienced traders cannot cope with this.

I think it depends on you if you want to trade with a high risk or you invest with a long period of profit but low risk. Trade may risk but there is a possibility that you can earn a fast and high profits but also theres a risk that you may lose your money too. Investment is good if you choose a good cryptocurrencies but if you choose the wrong one you may also lose you investments. In conclusion it depends on you wether you trade or invest.

[davinchi]

When you are dealing with too little amount the best way to deal with it is to find a way to make more of it. The best case is staking and I know that for staking you would need a lot of money to make it worth something but there are coins/tokens out there where you can stake to earn a lot more of it.

Usually they do not worth much and while you are staking the price goes down as well so it looks like it is not worth it and it is true that if you have a decent amount it is not worth it since you could destroy the market. However when you have a small amount of it you could totally make it happen since the small assets you sell will not destroy the market in that case. You can grow it like that and keep reinvesting with the money you save every month, that way you can move to more serious coins/tokens.

Cryptocurrency is a good investment, there is no need to ask, though it depends on the cryptocurrency you bought. Judging from your headline you said small assets, are you referring to the altcoins?

I usually go for BTC or ETH. Other coins are usually a disappointment. And one thing I don't do is to rely fully on trading just like some traders would come out to say that they are full-time traders. I wonder how they manage to cope with that because I know for sure it's a hard thing to do, because profit doesn't come from trade or investment every minute of the day.

[pawanjain]

Let us get the things clear here. Trading and Investing both are some different means of generating profit/loss.
Cryptocurrency is a good trade/invest asset based on which coin you are putting your money in.

If you are trading then it involves you to constantly keep an eye on the market or may be short term depending on your interest.
Bitcoin and some potential altcoins will be a good choice if you want to trade since these cryptocurrencies have good volatility.
This involves more risk though since the market can go against you anytime.

If you are planning to invest your money for long term then bitcoin or ethereum should be your choice since these are the most potential cryptocurrency investments. This involves less risk than trading but will require you to be patient.

[spike420211]

I might choose to hold it. however, small assets only make small profits in trading, and so do investments. you should gather your assets into lots, and decide what you will take. however, we must be careful in this matter, because after all, all decisions cannot be reset.

In many cases, and largely determined by your needs, it is therefore not correct to say that a small deposit size is not effective.
In trading, the value of the growth of your deposit in% set is important.

If you manage to systematically increase the deposit every month or every year, then at some point you will reach the point where your earnings will suit you completely.

But this is a path to which not everyone is ready, it is too difficult, and mistakes on it are sometimes very expensive.

Talking about small assets I think he is indeed heading towards Altcoin. however, if you have $ 100, then it's too small for bitcoin, even for the fee it's big enough. because of this, I also think that ethereum is an alternative if bitcoin is not an option.
is this the right decision? Well, it all depends on how you use the assets you have.

[yupi84crypto]

As a newbie, I like investing more than trading, because investing only needs to choose the right coins to buy. After that we only need
to wait until the price rises, in contrast to trading we must always monitor the market and must be able to read trading chart. The risk
is even greater than investment, especially if we are small capital is better invested more than trading.

[jcpone]

Always remember that once we enter into trading methods in different exchange, expect the unexpected things.
This maybe the reason why most of the traders who got loss most often in doing trade, aside from that, lack of knowledge
was also one of the factor of facing loss of our coins as well. That's why trading required skills and knowledge.

[semobo]

for small assets I think it's better for us to trade but it really depends on you whether you understand about trading or not, between investment and trading also has its own risks and we ourselves must be able to do things that I think the decision is in each of them , trading if you don't understand the instrument is the same

Investments has better returns than trading but it should be on right asset and for the long term.Because most of the millionaires in 2020,started their career with less capital but they managed to keep investing on the returns again made them to be a millionaire.

I think it depends on the situation. If he wants to gain his profit in a minimum amoun of time, he can choose trading, he can do day trading if he want some scalping can give him more money if he knows how to trade efficiently. But if he wants to make it longer invest it , I think investment has its own lock out period. But i think both tradind and investment are same thing, but with different risk.

[imstillthebest]

depends on what you think small amount is because to me small amount is lower than 10 or 5 dollars  .

i wont trade that because its hard to make it big but id rather save it  and form a reasonable capital and that would be the time to comeback and engage on trading activity . on your case both trading and investing are equal  . why not do both ? if you only need one then you need to choose even if its hard

[nasipadang]

As a trader, it is normal for us to encounter difficulties while engaging a lot of trading platforms and I know that it is not easy for us to overcome it.

There's the time where we almost lose all our money in trading and we only have a certain small amount of money. Some people are still risking it and some are saving it for future errands.

I remember when I chose to trade, I experienced a lot of struggle as I lose a certain transaction and regret it afterwards,
but I never stopped and instead I continue those transaction because I got a lot of profits sometimes.

But then I realized that it I want a long term source of profit then I switched and engaged with crypto investment. I found it really beneficial for me as I want to become more futuristic,
although the progress is not that fast but I think that it is much safer for me to invest here.

Do you think this is a good decision? I know that most of us are struggling in trading, could you give us more idea? And what are your thoughts about this?

You have good decisions regarding trading and investing and I support you, I think what you are doing is very good. I don't like long-term investments in cryptocurrency, because I think it is very risky even though it can make a lot of profit. For an investment let alone the long term I am more interested in its value security because I am a little afraid of the fast fluctuations in crypto. Whereas my own opinion regarding small assets has no effect on investment or trading choices, because our initial goal is to make as much profit as possible and what the owner will choose is the decision of the owner himself who understands cryptocurrency.
