To be honest about Investing

[Stalker22]

<a bunch of nonsense>

In my early days of cryptocurrency trading, I read various articles and online tutorials to gain as much information as possible.
These are some of the first things I learned that I still follow:

• Understand the overall concept of cryptocurrencies you want to invest in
• Start small and scale gradually
• Diversify your investments
• Analyse market movements and draw lessons from them
• Reallocate your investment

Following these few simple principles will increase your chances of success in trading and reduce the risk of total losses.
Just remember, success rarely happens overnight. Just because you didn't succeed in the beginning does not mean you should quit on your effort.

Investing has got nothing to do with you giving out your funds to a set of individuals. To some extent it might seem so if we look at it from the part of being company shares and all that but still, you actually benefit because, you own those shares and in time, your sure to get all of your capital out of your capital investment mean while, you remain a shareholder.

Investing is just a way of diversifying your income and its important that you do because, for everything, there is a season and in time, one part to an investmwould flourish more than the other and it would be wrong or regretful to have  had an early signal or opportunity and you didn't pick it up. Invest if you can and where you can, when you can!

Investing does not absolutely guarantee profit. But why do most people profit themselves from this method?

We have to understand that entrepreneurship let us know that business is all about risk, which can result out profit or lost, so investment guarantee us profit in some extent because every investors mindset is to make profit not to get lost, so basically enrolling into a business should base on decision, and the success of it, is determine by the management and how curious we are into the such business, and it's nice to have business orientation before adventuring into it, and that will enable us to know the kind of investment we are meant to do, to avoid a huge lost.

But all to say the whole point of the markets is to take your Money from You.

Out of all you have written which I don't seem to agree with, this line quoted above caught my attention more. Well I initially thought the body of your topic would be concentrated in investing instead it felt like you were speaking about trading.

Back to your statement, the market if studied closely will make you understand that, money moves from the inexperienced to the experienced. Those trading because they have the skills and luck been in their side, not just those gambling because they have heard money can been made in the market and they want it quick.

The market only takes money form you when you're ignorant, have refused to learn form others mistakes and history. Take the crypto market as example, we have three stages, bear, accumulating stages and bull stages. Understanding this will help you make your decision on what to do and not just blindly putting in capital into the market and waiting to be rich all of a sudden.

That's why DYOR is always the right thing to do in an investment and you should not engage to that without prior knowledge.

Make sure that you know what you're doing and you know how to manage your capital to prevent instant losses.

Investment is not that easy to deal with especially when it comes to market movement. Nothing is certain but with technical analysis, you have basis with your actions.

In investment generally we anticipate for both profit and loss. But try our best to ensure the profit margin is able to cover-up for the losses so we don't lose out completely from the market. This happens not just in cryto alone it's common in all forms of investment and this consciousness gradually sets in when we master the trick behind what we are actually investing in. So we shouldn't just feel we are investing to make profit alone

In real world (offline) to make some money you have to provide some real useful services right? That's how it is online you can't just dive into something you know nothing about, if it's that easy to make money everyone will be a millionaire, I was so afraid of stock because many people around me loses money but I later find out that they don't understand a thing about stock, imagine all of them in same category ( lack of understanding ).

If you want to make investment in any market then you should have a reality check or say must have prior knowledge of that market because blindly following any trade signals or market hype could be dangerous for you and you could end up losing all your money in just a matter of time.If you talk about crypto market it's highly volatile so you need to be extra cautious here and rather than investing in shitcoins invest in top coins like btc,eth for long term instead of day trading as it requires deep chart monitoring and some special skills and set stoploss point and some other things.You can make profits it depends upon the price you have invested and current prices in the market.Your funds your insight will give you profits.

IMO investments in crypto and stock should be done ONLY with money you can afford to lose. Why? Because at the beginning you will definitely lose money, no way around it!
You will be way better off if you actually learn a skill and earn money with it. Then you can start putting some extra cash in crypto or stocks. But please do some research before investing money. Don't just read a thread with some random alt coin that someone promotes. Most likely you will lose money there too. That is unless you're incredibly lucky.

That's the first rule and everyone who's going to invest on those or any legit investment, they should be aware of the risk that it has.

Don't just read a thread with some random alt coin that someone promotes. Most likely you will lose money there too. That is unless you're incredibly lucky.

This situation is how others are losing money. They're believing to someone without doing their research and just buys randomly as said by those suggestion even if they're not very familiar with the crypto they buy.

When we are learning to invest in any market, we clearly read that there are no guarantees in the market. If you want to invest with the aim of making profits all the time, investing might not be an option for you. There are several other options and opportunities that you can take advantage of instead of wasting your time and money on investing.

Before one invests,he must make research about the what he wants to invest in.He must be able to take risk.He must also know the right time to invest and when not to invest at all.If it's the first time,it is advisable to invest little and wait for the outcome or profit.If he chooses to invest in crypto,he must be able to exercise patience which is the virtue in crypto investment. If you try and fail,try again and in a different dimension,and certainly you will make your profit.

Understand, knowledge, experience on it are roles that basically one should try to fill in before expecting a way to succeed in what a person do. But in my learning of trade I have had some chat with experience, professional and owners of Trading schools, one thing to know is with all those basic roles already filled they can be some not so good Trading day to remember.
Investment too is much like that, it's a D.Y.R -do your research- I think in investments one of those characters/fortification some new to it can have is patient -long term Investment- .

They cannot take your money if you know how to protect your money, the name of the game is to know when to buy low and sell high if you miss this they are going to take your money, educate yourself about the market, there are too many traps on it, you can escape the trap if you know what kind of traps they are employing, the market is changing so you have to change your strategy from time to time, but it always goes on how high you sell coins that you bought cheap.

I will say it depends. In investment, it is very possible for someone to be patient, wait for the bear market time, bitcoin price will reduce and the right time to buy will set, with time the price of bitcoin will increase and the hodler will gain. But there are cases of people trading, this is what I can not encourage, many people learn more about trading but yet they are losing, some will because of greediness still go for future/margin trading, using high leverage and losing easily, but holding is easy to predict and holders will gain but require patience.

There are many traps and listening a lot to speculators in the internet is one of those.
I was thinking of blacklisting some website which I am not even interested to hear what their favored celebrities say about a certain coin. It is annoying.

If you want to invest with the aim of making profits all the time, investing might not be an option for you. There are several other options and opportunities that you can take advantage of instead of wasting your time and money on investing.

But once you understand that the not guarantee that this market is giving. It's a very good way to beat inflation and those people who became rich got themselves their way through it.

Although it's the reality that investing in such markets may not be an option for everyone especially those people that have a weak heart in taking risks.

[Mistafreeze]

The market works in two ways, is either you are losing or gaining simultaneously. So you can be consistently falling into the category of losers for a long interval just because the techniques or strategy that is used is not sufficient. It's takes thorough examination or analysis of the market to make good profits and also, the market is complex with some many factors affecting it's prices making it difficult to make profit.

Maybe the op had never gain full understanding and patterns of how the market works making it difficult for him to believe that people still make good profits from the market without much analysis. Although making good profits might be as a result of consistency and focus with luck.

The profit does Not happens automaticly You need to Know what You are doing.

But all to say the whole point of the markets is to take your Money from You.

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about, especially by mixing stocks and crypto together. Crypto is a new form of currency, but it's only value is the trust people place in it to hold or increase that value. It has a high volatility and you have a reasonably high chance of losing money. Stocks on the other hand are just a small slice of ownership in a business. There are businesses out there like Coca Cola or McDonald's that have a history spanning many decades of reliable sales - if you but a share in this company you become a part owner and get a portion of any profits it. It either pays you money each year from the profits or you hope re-invests any profits wisely making the whole company (along with your share) worth even more.

Seriously investment those not mean you will make profit but in Cryptocurrency I believe if you are having patience and you can do your research you will definitely make profit from investment. Firstly before buying any coin make sure you do your research very well first and after buying any coin you have to be patience because you can't just buy a coin and you expect the coin to start pumping immediate you definitely need to have patience first in Cryptocurrency if you don't have patience you will definitely lose alot of money.

Cryptocurrency is in fashion now, but remember, it is still in its infancy. Investing in something new involves difficulties that you need to be prepared for. If you still plan to participate, conduct a study and start investing conservatively.
