Just because prices are high, doesn't mean that is a good investment.

[chrisculanag]

That is not to say when low prices mean a good investment. That's why finding a good investment is sometimes so difficult, it's like predicting the future. What is trend identification?. What features will the project have or will the team be enthusiastic about continuing to develop in the future, new roadmaps and methods this will be difficult to find real projects and I don't think high prices mean a good investment .

It is difficult if you don't follow the trend. But if you've been a follower of the trend then that means that you're good as you are in determining what you must invest.
It's true that high price doesn't give assurance to tell that an investment is good. But if we're going to relate that with bitcoin, it's a different thing. There's always the separation and differences with crypto and traditional investments.

I agree that , good followers gain more success and profit. Trend is number one we need to check always every minutes because theres a time a minutes make us a big profit. Investing is not easy , thats why we need always focus. True that high prices is not a way to invest this like other said many investment start in high but going down , the only thing to do is keep researching some new kind of investment before we put some .The more you choose the more you chances to get profit. Right , bitcoin or crypto and any investments are  so much differences.

In the cryptocurrency sector a lot of people give attention to unit price, rather than the market cap. This is a wrong strategy. Take the case of Bitcoin for example. The unit price is $54,000 per coin, and the market cap is $1 trillion. On the other hand, Ripple (XRP) is having a unit price of $1.16 and a market cap of $53 billion. So there is a 20 times difference in the valuation between BTC and XRP, but some of the noobs just look at the unit price and conclude that the difference is 50,000 times. And using the same logic, they assume that BCH is more expensive than XRP, when it is not the case.

[zanezane]

Don't let this negativity discourage you from investing, the price will get more expensive than what it is right now and you don't want to wait for that time to happen, remember that investment is expensive already, why wait for it to go to that point.

No matter how high the price and the comparison in terms of the valuation of each crypto will still be ignored by people who follow investments just because of FOMO.  Like me, sometimes I take investment choices that are stupid enough to buy assets at their peak prices and suffer losses later.  In fact, in making investment choices there must be a strong basis to support our analysis.

Cryptocurrencies have been running for years and I believe that lots of us already know whom and what to trust. We already know the coins that are just carried by the hype coins with huge potential. Yes, not all coins that strike high are worth buying. It's still better to check everything about it including its whitepaper as well as the team behind it.

[Findingnemo]

High price is not actually justified if they doesn't have enough volume and liquidity rate even in cryptos there were some coins raised.all of a sudden but they didn't last longer like Bitcoin does that is the difference of original and copycat projects.

[shield132]

High prices aren't problem because they are new normal right now and if you want to still invest and think that prices are high and they'll lower, then you can open short contract on futures trading. But I want to remind you that it's not a good investment when prices are increasing and increasing like a bubble because the bigger it is, the quickly and strongly it will explode.
You better to stick with long-term trading and not on a daily one. Daily trading just will mess up with your mind and make the life worse, really, I hate the pressure it can put on you.

[Kemarit]

On the contrary, if the prices are low, it also doesn't mean its a bad investment, so tit-for-tat.

Crypto is open for everyone, and I think there's no single formula that can fit how the market moves or work as regards to the price. Maybe it was just pure pump and dump that's why the price is high, and then we have those low market cap, that is gem but people forget to realized it. So still up to the individual, on how he is going to trade, i.e. short or long term.

I have seen this kind of argument that just because the price of a commodity is high means that it is a great investment.

Personally, I don’t think that having a high price is what makes an asset to be worth investing in. Before you start investing in any asset you have to face the fall understand what it is all about and no everything about it before you can consider it. The price doesn’t really matter that much because the developers can decide to just start from any price for the asset.

An asset can be worth less than $1 maybe due to the supply, and still be much better than an asset that has a price of over $100and even $1000. Take the cryptocurrency market as an example, you will see some coins that has a high price but a lesser market cap than those with a lesser price.

The good value of an asset is not determined by the price. Yes, I do understand that the price can play a part as well, though it depends, you have to calculate it to know whether it is really worth looking at the price or not. The supply is one thing that plays an important role in the price of a cryptocurrency, though you have to know how many supply that the market has, and also judge whether the market is worth how much you are paying for it. There are some coins you will see that are not really worth anything much, but their prices will be very high. So, you just look at the cryptocurrency and evaluate it.

[uneng]

I've seen this saying or strategy regards stocks and it makes a lot of sense, but personally I don't think it's a good idea to apply this concept in crypto currencies, because if you avoid a high price asset, you aren't going to focus your investment in bitcoin and I believe that is the most important option disponible in crypto universe someone should go for.

To invest in cheap crypto currencies can be profitable, but you never know if it is going to work until it does. On this aspect bitcoin is much safer when compared to its pairs and still offers a decent financial return, although its price is extremely expensive.

[pinggoki]

Commodities are deemed valuable not for what they are in the present but what they are capable of in the future. Use-case, and supply is the biggest defining factor of whether a stock would be valuable or in this case a good investment or not. It has to have a relevant use-case, being novel too would help in its utilization, plus the supply. There is a certain balance between supply and projected demand that must be met in order to ensure that the price of the stock, as well as its availability in the future is not jeopardized.

Cryptocurrencies have been running for years and I believe that lots of us already know whom and what to trust. We already know the coins that are just carried by the hype coins with huge potential. Yes, not all coins that strike high are worth buying. It's still better to check everything about it including its whitepaper as well as the team behind it.

Some coins with poor use-case like DOGE and a number of others became sleeper and had remained dormant in the market for quite some time, that is until one shiller came along and everyone went bananas on investing in these cryptocurrencies. Price could still determine whether a stock or in this case a coin could thrive in the market or not because it is the sum of all the things that define the coin itself. Although it is not something you should really focus on when investing on.

If you check the daily % rise of price, everyday you will find some never-heard-of project showing 400% gains or so. Why this occurs?

If there is not specific news for that project, there is a pump and dump going on - the dirty part is that these prices are well manipulated to attract small fires to buy it and then the whales who are running the pump will dump all their coins on the market and exit.

Basically a trap for the newbies. But this is applicable more to the crypto market which is not regulated. On regulated markets like stocks or commodities you will immediate stop on trading and starting of legal investigations as to the reasons behind the price rise.

Of course those people who use such methods to manipulate, will always argue that this is false and they will always have anti-regulation stance for crypto.

True, however many times that is the only thing many traders are interested in, they see that a coin is going up in value and then they want to invest in it, they do not care what is the vision of the developers or the fundamentals of the coin, they are interested in the fact the coin has gone up in value and they want some of those profits for themselves.

And while I understand their posture as the whole point of a trader is to make money, at the same time that kind of attitude can be very risky as the majority of the times they do not know in what kind of coin they are investing and this can create some problems for them as they invest in coins that are obvious scams for the community and then they lose their money in that way.

This is usually why a lot of traders are getting screwed, if they will only look at the price movement and not the actual development per se.
Because if they are caught in the middle, they can really lose money as they won't know if the price will ever go up again.
So yes, it is important to follow also the updates and progress of the coin you are investing with, because it will give you insights if they have future or not.
Be careful touching pump and dump coins, because you can lose money here and not recover even your initial funds.

if we choose the right coin and have an investment goal, I don't think there is a problem, because later the price will go up again from the moment we bought it. sometimes many people are impatient and tend to look at assets from a nominal usdt, even though the number of coins held remains the same

[mindrust]

That's how investing (or trading) works in general. You buy it when the prices are low and sell when the prices are high. It is a game of risk management. The media during the dotcom bubble was advising everybody to buy stocks and it went up and up and up. Then it went down massively. Maybe we are following a similar pattern now. That's possible.

[dark1234]

Everyone has their own way of dealing with the price.... and we can't help but say that a commodity or a non-commodity is valuable or not because what affects it is the value and price.... and every media whether it's Bubble.com or Tuktuk.com all must provide news according to trends and prices and of course the highest will be the topic

I think that can happen to bitcoin but not an altcoin because in altcoin, you better buy the altcoin when the price is dropping to get a lot of amount of that coin. If you want to buy bitcoin, let say you want to buy at a price now, that will be okay as the price will increase higher in the future so even if you buy now, you will have a chance to make a profit.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Whenever we put in context that "Cheap is expensive" is a cliché according to what is going to be purchased. Cunaod we talk about goods and services I think that the most expensive is the best, because the quality of a service is guaranteed, when we talk about charging expensive certain work is synonymous with its guarantee and efficiency, when a person charges cheap it is not recognized for being Well, if not to collect cheap, in this aspect I think that there should be a balance, for certain things cheap is good (according to experience) such as actions in the stock market and the purchase of a cryptocurrency and even BTC (When it is cheap) I think that it depends on the context is that you can do a more specific analysis, but when it comes to stocks or to buy crypto I think that it is not buying cheap, it is buying with a very good opportunity.

[dezoel]

There are too many people who buy when it is going up and sell when it is going down. That is a bit of a problem in the crypto world, I do not know how we can fix it but I believe that it is certainly something that would be a bit weird if you consider what we are doing right now. I mean if we buy when it is going down and sell when it is going up then we are making a profit and that is how trading is done, that is exactly what we should be doing.

However, if we are making a loss right at when we should be making a profit because we are doing exactly the opposite then I am not going to be really sure how to help these people out neither.
