What class of an investor are you?

[Davidvictorson]

I agree that there are those types of investors who classify themselves as angel investors, venture capitalist,¹ etc. But before they become all of these types of investors, from my own perspective, I have put them into some classes. It is not an exhaustive or an elaborative list but at least, you get the idea of where I am driving at.

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

Going by what you explained here, there is no investing category fitting my style and status other than the new investor. I don't engage in Ponzi, I don't have such a big money to invest and I don't have such patience and money for the research that will fetch me later money. All I have money for is the investment that will give me the opportunity to make little money by buying shares in other companies. It is a little share, must not be big, it's a means to secure the future, so better than doing nothing.

[2double0]

I think I come under the third category (I didn't use the word 'class' as it would make me a 'third class investor' 😅)
I go beyond all the resources and information I could, to know everything about the token I invest in. I do an in-depth research of a project before putting a piece of my cake (capital) in it. However, I would also commit that sometimes, even after doing aggressive research and paying extreme attention to the team and the project, I still lose as they turned scammers and sometimes I didn't receive the tokens and the team scammed, while sometimes it got dumped by early investors for quick profits (though the projects were rock solid).

[SatoPrincess]

By your definition, I would say I’m a “research investor”, I think you have to first be under the third category before you can work your way up the ladder to be a “wealthy trader”. It’s okay to be skeptical about new investments, even though skepticism may cost you some investments that may turn out to be successful, I believe it’s better to play safe than be sorry. These kind of investors do not fall prey to scams and are very industrious with their money.

I guess I'm somewhere in between the researcher and wealthy trader. However it's very relative: I'm not a trader but a hodler and I don't consider myself wealthy. Yes, I had "a number of profitable investments over the years" but I'm yet to reach FIRE (financially independent retire early) status which is my ultimate goal. And the researcher can as well be the wealthy trader...

[Obari]

Well I don't see myself falling into any of this categories basically because I can be someone easy to talk to today and tomorrow it seems relatively difficult to penetrate through me and most times my choice of investment depends of some several factors such as:
*the type of investment,
*who is presenting the investment idea to me
*duration of investment and
*how much return I'm expecting  and so on.

But generally, I would love to see myself as a sceptical investor.

[Dickiy]

What class of an investor are you?

If I follow the classification you made I am in the research investor class but I not only research but I also if have come to a conclusion of what I am looking for as a feasibility point of making an investment I always do it and not just wait for an answer to make a decision because I do with myself and for myself as a fundamentalist tool why should I invest in the investment sector, there are many things that must be considered if we want to invest because we will give our money to them so that they can be managed properly and according to expectations.

[tabas]

How I wish that I am a wealthy trader and investor and has already made several investments scattered in different areas that are generating passive incomes. I can say that I am a research investor and that's just being responsible with my investing. I've learned a lot of mistakes in investing and even became a victim of a few scam before until I've finally realized how to determine them. Being young in investing is an advantage and you get the beauty of it. Taking risk is easier and you'll not be scared of what's ahead and possible going to happen to your one investment. It's sad to see that there really are those ponzi investors and no matter how many times they became a victim of those scams, they won't just stop.

[HajiBagi]

Going by what you explained here, there is no investing category fitting my style and status other than the new investor. I don't engage in Ponzi, I don't have such a big money to invest and I don't have such patience and money for the research that will fetch me later money. All I have money for is the investment that will give me the opportunity to make little money by buying shares in other companies. It is a little share, must not be big, it's a means to secure the future, so better than doing nothing.

I believe that I like your type and that it is similar to mine. I invest the smallest amount that I am able to invest in order to make a profit and avoid being greedy enough to invest in any other ponzi schemes. I am aware that investing a larger sum of money yields greater returns than investing a smaller sum, but you have to be able to do so; you can't invest all of your savings and have nothing left over for any other financial needs.
Every investor starts small and grows into a large investor over time. You can buy in any quantity you have and retain your coin for a long period of time to maximize your profit with no issues.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

What class of an investor are you?

I do not fall into any class of investors. However, if you ask maybe I would choose The Wealthy Trader  because The Wealthy Trader has a track record of profitable investing and is knowledgeable and experienced in the field and making passive income before and I think this is normal choice because Cryptocurrency investments are generally considered to be high risk investments even though they have high rewards over time.

[Zlantann]

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

People might think that this set of investors doesn't exist, but I can confirm that there are people that are addicted to Ponzi scheme investors. Regardless of how much they lose, immediately they see another Ponzi firm they will still put their funds. They are impatient people that want to make a profit without any stress or delay. I have a friend that dislikes investing in Bitcoin because he thinks it is a waste of time. He prefers investing in businesses that promise large profit within a short time.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

I assume I fall in this category. These sets of investors will always want to study the business comprehensively so that they can know the details and technically of the business. They are slow decision-makers and less risk-takers. They prefer not to invest, than to invest in an unknown terrain. Sometimes they miss viable opportunities because of their thoroughness and attention to detail.

[livingfree]

How about being a DCA type of investor? Not coming from a wealthy family and just a typical 9-5 worker but still trying hard to make ends meet while saving a bit from salary to be able to invest? 

I know that many of us here are in that situation that we're trying hard to save at least a bit from our incomes and then will use that to buy bitcoin and DCA.

Consistency is the key on this and this is going to be a lifechanging type of strategy and investment as we all know. It's Bitcoin that has changed a lot of people's life and even not born to be an investor, became investors.

I think that each of the users of cryptocurrencies experience each of these types of investor.
In the beginning, we are all Newbies. Then we make a mistake investing in some scam, because everyone learns from their mistakes. Then we start studying and after 5 or 10 years we become Experienced investors.

Unless, of course, at least some funds remain at this point

[so98nn]

By all means I fall under researcher investor for sure. Considering I’m biotechnologist and artist, I think a lot before doing any action. I’m pretty sure I do the same when it’s real world application for me aside from my lab and my artist desk.

The last statement is true in that definition, you mostly end up not making any investment because when you research you find leaks and cons which could be devastating for the future investment into that particular portfolio. Nevertheless I’m talking about crypto associated investment. Most of the time they are scams, they are highly attractive and very good to be true.

I’m so shaky when placing a bet button that I could never invest into the unknown at all. Even if there is some project which has high potential, then also I would first keep myself in loop with it. Let the project get listed on few popular exchangers and then I could get started with it quickly even though my entry points are at high stake.

But it’s safe that’s what matters.

[Dr.Osh]

I'm pretty sure that there will be a lot of people who will claim to be research investors. but the level of research people have on a project will be very different. Personally, I also feel that I am a research type of investor because before I invest, I do research first. Even though I also have experience, knowledge, but I don't think I'm a rich type of investor. After all, I think people would assume they are the type to do their research before investing.

[Sayeds56]

The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

What class of an investor are you?

I believe I belong to the category of investors who conduct extensive research before committing funds in any kind of investment. However, my primary interest lies in digital currencies, in particular Bitcoin has special place in my heart because of its decentralization nature and high level of security system. I believe it is a potential opportunity of investment and it can potentially revolutionize the global financial industry.

[Faisal2202]

What class of an investor are you?

Thi s more look like a survey, haha are you trying to find out who has how much money in their wallets? (Just kidding) actually, there have been many attempts to scam others by address Poisoning, and it only applies to those who make a lot of transactions. Well coming to your query.

I am more like a new investor, but i am not putting my money in my friend's or relative's company, i mostly hold crypto which i earn, and try to do swing trading if that also count in investing. The point is i am at the start of investing phase but i have the skills of researcher investors because i also research before investing in any assets and i think everyone does the same. Idk on what basis you categorized these characteristics because investors always do the research even if he/she belongs to a new investor category or wealthy trader.

[Chainsmokers]

I'm pretty sure that there will be a lot of people who will claim to be research investors. but the level of research people have on a project will be very different. Personally, I also feel that I am a research type of investor because before I invest, I do research first. Even though I also have experience, knowledge, but I don't think I'm a rich type of investor. After all, I think people would assume they are the type to do their research before investing.

Right and even doing a bit of research I think someone would still say he's a research investor,
regardless of what it is doing research before investing is important,
however we still need to appreciate those who took the time to do that.

[maydna]

Perhaps, I'm an average investor who doesn't research thoroughly and I invest more money into bitcoin than into new projects because I'm too afraid to make the new project a short, medium or long term investment. I've had bad experiences investing in new projects so I guess I'm just a bitcoin investor.

But when I want to invest in an altcoin with rising potential, I will be a research investor who will research when I can start investing. But whatever type of investor you are, you should still research before you start investing to know what to choose.

[gantez]

I may fall under number one and three in your list. A newbie investor also likes to do some research by asking even maybe wrongly to the wrong person and can be scam. I am the panic type of investor because the story of scam increasing daily by that I try not to investing on everything I see online but try to focus on bitcoin because of security, I can invest through DCA and hodl in my personal wallet not exchange wallet.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

Such group of person can be also divided into two. Those investing in the ponzi unknowing and those with intention but the number investing unknowing is greater because ponzi is scam because people avoid ponzi, you can profit only if you are early to invest before the dump happen

[yudi09]

I may have been through this type.

The Wealthy Trader

And for this one maybe not included because I'm not rich yet.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

It may suit me.
In investing in the crypto space, I fall into class three (Research Investor).

It takes a lot of time to explore each option before deciding to invest.
According to the explanation of the third type of investor, because waiting too long before everything is clear, it causes no need to invest, for me that doesn't apply, because it's better to explore until everything we know so that the results are satisfactory, rather than rushing.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Investment has always been a very tricky topic for me. I personally has never fancied investment in Ponzi schemes due to past experiences and the fact that I have to work to make the tree grow so my fund can grow.
I see myself as a research investor. I must have had an idea and have studied the market before delving in and waiting for returns. Sometimes I might also be a new investor, mostly If I do not have enough funds to sponsor my project and if I think it is one everybody, even up to generations can benefit from.
In the end after all, what matters most to an avid investor is the kind of profit that is to be made, the amount that is required to see its success and the time frame.

[benalexis12]

As long as you have seen and found out that a token or coin is good and has potential here in cryptocurrency because you used the proper dyor, I can say that you are good investors even if you are a newbie in this field.
Because at the end of the day, in the end, it is still our decision that will be followed in the end as to which one we will invest to hold long term or short term.

[Rruchi man]

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

New investors are sometimes quick to become proud and happy that they have invested, new investors not just to our companies but to cryptocurrency have to be careful because they are the targets for fraudulent people who are seeking for new individuals who want to invest, to come invest in dubious websites and fake companies.

The Ponzi scheme Investor

This category of investors are the greedy set.

The researcher investor

I believe experience and a long time in investing will finally turn you into this. Some people are lucky enough to start out as this kind of investors and they have had minimal bad experiences in investing. This kind of investor is what is adviced for someone to be first.

[SOKO-DEKE]

If I carefully consider the categories of investors you have listed, I am certain that I fall under the research investor category. I will refer to myself as a researcher investor because whenever I want to invest in any type of business, I always do extensive research to help me avoid choosing the wrong company or location.So now should I consider investors who made a good return after investing a small sum of money as wealthy traders or new investors?but according to your points I may say it fall under category of wealthy traders.

[Zilon]

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

I won't classify Ponzi schemers as investors my reason is because the reward the get from their investment is not always guaranteed and when the scheme folds the victim might return to a state worst than how they were before investing. This set of persons cannot be  regarded as investors they are simply risk takers or another form of gamblers.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

Every investor should be a researcher because it is the building block of good choice of investment and proper investment planning. Wealthy investors are good researchers, It is either they do the research themselves or the pay experts to conduct this research before putting in their money into such investments.

[Hispo]

Researcher investor is the one that gets closer to what I consider myself to be. There are Coins which I have researched about sometimes and I never invest in, of course, I am talking about well established projects, no shitcoins.

Also, I would like to point out that not long ago, I thought that the ponzi scheme investors were relatively rare, I assume most of the people who participated in those scams were unknowingly victims , but in reality there are a lot of participants who get into them fully aware that it is a scam and only seek to time their entry and exit to profit off the losses of others. Crazy stuff.  Some are even delusional enough to convince themselves that they are getting money off scammers, instead other people like them. 

[isaac_clarke22]

What class of an investor are you?

I am neither any of these to be honest. If I may even add to that list even though there's an attached link in the OP, I would consider myself "Chill Investor" as I am just that investor who would just leave a few dollars to Bitcoin then just call it a month or even a year depending on my personal goal and my time constraints. Back then I was like a day trader but I won't go back to that ever again for various reasons.
I was also like a research investor when I was learning altcoins, but then I quit when many ICOs ended up a scam in 2017.

Also, I would like to point out that not long ago, I thought that the ponzi scheme investors were relatively rare, I assume most of the people who participated in those scams were unknowingly victims , but in reality there are a lot of participants who get into them fully aware that it is a scam and only seek to time their entry and exit to profit off the losses of others. Crazy stuff.  Some are even delusional enough to convince themselves that they are getting money off scammers, instead other people like them. 

They're indeed more common than you think. It's just that people won't admit that they're also participating in MLM. It's quite common here in my country even outside crypto like one of those recruiters for their projects would reach out to you that you just don't need to invest that much to earn by a certain amount. Quite tempting, but you're screwing yourself in the end when you do give in to the tempting offer.

I think most of us are researched investors however not all of us have the correct way of researching or correct way to finalize what to do after a research. Most of this group think research is finding the coin which everyone else is buying or creating a hype about. However reality is research is reading about the project itself. Thinking how can it benefit the blockchain community and therefore picking out how can it grow and benefit you as well. So I think there are two sub categories under researched investors. Actual researchers and hype followers.

[CryptSafe]

OP, from experience, I have come to realize that there is no investor on earth that does not research on the investment he or she wants to go into. Be it a private or a public investment, investors are someworth curious of their investments and who is in charge of it so as to be sure of their funds or assets.

If I may ask, do you just wake up one morning and decide to sink funds into an investment you have no knowledge about? See, even though the business is lucrative, one must be sure of what they are investing into even the richest billionaires do that.
Why do you think they hold series of meetings before they finally come to terms of signing agreement bond or Memorandum of Understanding.

[LogitechMouse]

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

I'm thinking. Is there any investor out there who has the mindset like this?

I mean doing it once or twice is still ok, but to having a thinking of "investing into get rich-quick schemes" consistently? Well, maybe these are the risk takers. They are the ones who has lots of money to invest into different ponzi scams out there to the point that there are already many signs that it's a ponzi, and yet they choose to invest into it "hoping" that they can get money still thru it.

Maybe I'll just put myself into these 2 types since it's the closest to what I am right now.

Researcher investor. In my years of investing, it didn't came to a point where I decided not to invest into something I didn't spend my time with. Since I'm more of a semi-conservative investor, and not very aggressive, TBH I'm not spending too much time to do some research compare to some others out here because the projects that I'm investing my money with have been there for many years already and somewhat "established".

Wealthy trader. The first word alone isn't applicable to me TBH. I've made some profitable investments already like my Cardano holdings for example where even though we entered in a bear market last year, I'm still in profit because I bought ADA lower than it's lowest price in 2022. I'm not knowledgeable as well, but I might have some experience already since I've been investing for years already. Expertise? Nahhh I don't have that as well.

So far, as long as I am involved in the world of investing, I might categorize myself into the third point (research investor). Why do I categorize myself into the third point, because the first and second points have been passed.
I am now at the point of always being careful in making decisions and always researching before making decisions after everything I've been through in the investment world.

[Rockstarguy]

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

This is the kind of investor I fall in. I learnt from the first investment I did in my life, I assumed it was something that can give me cool money,  I never had any experience or make any research to know about it, I just assumed so fast it will be something I could do. But it thought me to get knowledge in every investment I choose to go into. I don't just assume I can come out good if I should go into any investment,  I make research first to get every firsthand information about what I am investing into. I think this investing method is good , it helps one to get to know every risk that one will have to face.

[BitDane]

Going by what you explained here, there is no investing category fitting my style and status other than the new investor. I don't engage in Ponzi, I don't have such a big money to invest and I don't have such patience and money for the research that will fetch me later money. All I have money for is the investment that will give me the opportunity to make little money by buying shares in other companies. It is a little share, must not be big, it's a means to secure the future, so better than doing nothing.

Obviously you are a researcher type even though you are a new investor.  Being an investor can be a mixed of the given class, you can be a newbie but do your diligent research before investing, while I think I already passed the newbie investors and now just a researcher investor. I always take my time and try to know details about the market I get interested with.  I always wanted to get involved in a long term investment that is why I like researching the fundamental market of the investment I wanted to venture.

Probably the researcher investor 'coz it is money we are talking about and ofcourse not all people could actually endure losses, therefore it is not surprising to know that most of us are reading and researching about something we are interested with, to invest. It is simply our way to reduce the risk of losing and also to avoid ponzi or fraudalent projects. But I think there is another type of investor; ride the hype. Sometimes we tend to invest on things which are quite making a noise in this industry and results are most of the time positive. This is because of popularity which creates a demand. Just happens that projects of such are only good in short run.

[fadhilz123]

I am now at the point of always being careful in making decisions and always researching before making decisions after everything I've been through in the investment world.

Almost everyone is like that now. Especially if those who have previously experienced loss as a result of making careless decisions without doing research first, surely at this point this has become a very valuable experience and will never repeat the same mistake on another occasion. So the average investor who has experienced loss in the past will not immediately make a hasty decision before actually doing research. Or before actually finding facts that can convince them to invest in the product they are looking at or in the product that others are offering them at this time.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

Investors in ponzi schemes are because they always think about profits while ignoring risks and also losing money, this type of person always wants to get rich quickly through the ponzi scheme offered.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

In the past, I did research on projects to be invested in and this was on altcoins which often failed which made me keep losing money, in the end I had to decide to stop and not invest in altcoins at all.
In contrast to Bitcoin there is no need for research, you can only manage how to grow the investment here and also have patience long enough to make a profit.

People might think that this set of investors doesn't exist, but I can confirm that there are people that are addicted to Ponzi scheme investors. Regardless of how much they lose, immediately they see another Ponzi firm they will still put their funds. They are impatient people that want to make a profit without any stress or delay. I have a friend that dislikes investing in Bitcoin because he thinks it is a waste of time. He prefers investing in businesses that promise large profit within a short time.

Absolutely true and I can attest to this. The people here in my country was once being hypnotized with a different kind of ponzi schemes somewhere around 2019 and 2020. If the government didn't put a stop on it, a lot more people could've lost their money. However, the people doesn't seem to understand it as they think it was a legitimate investment because it's "paying" and they ignore the fact that it's sustainability is in a huge question.
Regardless, of the warnings the government have made to the public against these ponzi schemes, still a lot of people here are willing to become a victim just to make that easy money.

The researcher investor

I also fall into this category. I am the type of person who does not easily trust a certain investment unless I've done my research and see something promising about it, this is the same reason why I've missed some opportunities in the past as I was not convinced with those type of investments (non-crypto). 

[reagansimms]

In investing there is no guarantee that you will continue to get profits, there are certain unexpected things that can reduce the value of your investment. I don't know what class I'm in, maybe you can judge from the way I explained to put me in the Class of Investors to the best of your understanding.

Before deciding to invest, thorough research is needed. This is in line with my main goal, in investing, no one wants to lose their money. When I feel the time is not right to enter, I prefer to stay silent while waiting. Whatever I do is based on the main goal, if you are in doubt about market conditions, you don't need to listen to what other people are saying.

[Strongkored]

I think I'm more into number 3, namely as a research investor, although sometimes I'm too focused on doing research so that in the end I will only return to invest in the old coin, so I only add what I have before, because the research I do sometimes can't be sure which coin or type an investment that will be good in the future, so rather than making the wrong decision, sticking to the old one is much better in my opinion than choosing an investment so that it ends in regret because of the losses you get.

In investing there is no guarantee that you will continue to get profits, there are certain unexpected things that can reduce the value of your investment.

You are absolutely right, that is what research is really needed before making a decision, because actually investing is not only about profitable but also securing our fiat money which will decrease in value day by day due to inflation and saving it in the bank will not save our money from decreasing in value so investing is the way to go to reduce losses due to inflation

[irhact]

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

This is my category, I always do my research thoroughly before investing into any projects, it doesn't matter to me if it's the trending project or technology that everyone is rushing to buy because of the marketing that has been done and people mistaking it for the quality of the project. I always carry out deep research and it has made me miss out on some opportunity.

I'm not bothered by the missed opportunity since my over researching on a project prevents me from falling to scammers and there are many scam projects in the market with some having very high market capitalization and big trading volumes, dyor isn't a bad advise to always follow.

[bluebit25]

According to the OP's quote, I may have been all of this myself, although I don't really care how much it affects, I find the experience gives us the right perspective. about the financial market, how to gain profit as well as use that profit more usefully for the surrounding life.
Right now I don't spend too much time researching or analyzing everything in the financial markets, I also keep some investment portfolios but I really don't pay much attention to how it will turn out over time. Next time, maybe this is not a profit goal for me either.

[gunhell16]

You know if you are here in the cryptocurrency industry as an investor, you should know that it is not discussed here what type or class of investors you are.

You should know how to choose when you will use the investment capital you have. Even if you know what kind of investor you are if you don't know how to know if the coins or tokens you are going to buy are legitimate or not, this good question you made on this topic will do nothing. Because for me the number one thing you should do first and do is learn the right steps in Do your own research.

[ringgo96]

For now I am still a research investor because every investment I make is always careful in making decisions, because not all coins that we investors will always give profits there are many things we have to learn if it is suitable then will participate in the project, and my goal is also to become a rich trader because they are very good at choosing coins that want to be invested and can always give profits because they  Already so experienced and have high knowledge.

[wiss19]

I think most people will be categorized as the researcher investor since people tend to be sure that what they are investing in is actually safe and they don't have much of a risk of losing their money since it is not easy to earn it, at least not for everyone. So, I would also consider myself to be in that category as I tend to do some research before taking such decisions.

I also think that these categories depend on a person's financial status, a new investor is someone who doesn't have a lot of money to invest, an average investor would be a researcher investor, an above-average investor would choose Ponzi schemes and then a wealthy person will tend to do bigger trades or investments.

[glendall]

I,  maybe in the research investor category, because when I want to invest, I need to think long and hard about the project I will invest in, but sometimes I choose the wrong project, but I consider all valuable lessons in investing.

[kaseygriffin]

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

I think I am in this position, when deciding to invest, especially when investing in new projects or products, thorough research and evaluation is very necessary. However, the process of research and analysis can be lengthy and never-ending as new information can always be added.

Therefore, a smart investor is one who knows the balance between fully understanding and evaluating information, and making the right decision at the same time. To do this, they need a clear and complete investment strategy to be able to manage risks and make timely decisions.

[gaston castano]

The researcher investor

I think they think ahead not not to invest but research and see if they think the project can grow later after they invest, and I think the people who do the research are the smartest of all.

[Reid]

I think I am on the third one. The researcher investor. But something big is missing on this list and maybe that is why I am forced to just pick the third choice.
Where are the "loner investors"? Money from their own pockets, little research, but is not influenced by those who surround him. Like the Discord or Telegram groups.
They didn't like to join a get rich Ponzi scheme. They are not accepting investment from other people. i.e. relatives and friends. I am sure as hell there are a lot of members here who are on that class. Stays on the shadows but are ready to invest if given the opportunity.

[crwth]

I believe that I'm the type of investor that is a research investor. I make sure that I'm doing the right thing by knowing what I am investing in. It's going to still be a risk but at least I have convinced myself that it's going to be an ideal position for someone looking to invest. It's better to know what is going on rather than nothing at all.

I don't think that Ponzi Scheme investors are worth it, they are just losing money if they aren't able to let people buy their "products" and they are just going to lose their investments faster.

[naira]

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

New Investor
The Ponzi scheme Investor
The researcher investor
The Wealthy Trader

What class of an investor are you?

Maybe everyone will avoid classifying himself into any group, except for the scientific method adopted from formal education. So far, many have educated themselves from self-taught knowledge, so it will be very difficult to legally account for their presence in the investment space.

Enough to fulfill one's own ambitions and cannot guarantee other people's assets when wanting to start because of knowledge in the field of investment which cannot be pursued through formal channels. I have experienced it many times, many potential investors, ranging from intellectuals, ask to guide them from zero to independent investing. I refused politely because I was not incapacitated but to avoid the effects of the risk if at any time he blamed the loss on the material I gave which was deemed inappropriate.

Therefore, I prefer to be free with my own investment knowledge, I can do it myself and I won't blame anyone else for the risk I take. I am aware that what I get can be freely invested through self-taught hard work, not through formal channels.

[CageMabok]

I,  maybe in the research investor category, because when I want to invest, I need to think long and hard about the project I will invest in, but sometimes I choose the wrong project, but I consider all valuable lessons in investing.

Maybe in terms of investment experience, you are more experienced than me for now. But there is a little advice from me that you might be able to use at this point in terms of investing, it is about choosing an investment where you can choose to invest in products like Bitcoin which have been highly tested in the crypto space.

Both in terms of the strength of the demand and the strength of the supply in the market, so for a while you try to ignore projects that may still be underdeveloped in order to bring your capital into Bitcoin investment. Because now is an opportunity for everyone to choose Bitcoin before entering next year, which according to some predictions there will be a halving in Bitcoin, which of course can affect its price increase.

Those who do their research before investing I think they are one step ahead of those who invest right away,
indeed it is not a guarantee that it will generate profits but at least it can minimize the risk,
Doing research is not easy because it takes a lot of time.

[demonica]

I think the researcher investor is very broad since even the other class of investors you mentioned also do their research before investing. But just like what class mostly others belongs to, I'd say I'm on the researcher investor since I don't really fit the other class. But of course it's already given that you have to research on it first before investing your money. I have to know stuff on where will I be putting my funds to ensure that there's a higher chance of me profiting rather than losing my investments. Researching is one of the basic and essential thing you have to do when investing.

[Wildwest]

In investing we have our respective classes and it all depends on us who currently have known the crypto world for how long, actually when I first knew crypto I was more inclined to the Ponzi Investor Scheme class because at that time I really wanted to get rich quickly but in the end I realized everything needed a process until now I prefer to be in a research investor because every investment we make must have research first so that the benefits we feel will be maximum, and the decisions we take will definitely be right if the research we make can be as much as possible, and I hope one day can become a rich trader who can take advantage of every moment that exists.

I think i am not such type of trader which you describe but the third category suited well to me because whenever I make investment then before that I search before investment but its not true that who make research more cannot make investment ever. I think its not a bad thing to research before investment but its good ability of trader as he wants to overcome the chances of his losses.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

I am not a wealthy trader because i have make investment by using little sum of money and I think that person invest only for the purpose of getting wealthy. Wealthy person invest money but they also do it for the sake of making more money by using their own money.

[michellee]

I'm still a research investor who often researches to find other coins besides investing in Bitcoin. As an investor, we must research to find the right coin that can potentially increase later.

But if we can't find more information about the coin or the project, we don't need to keep investing in that coin because there are still many coins that we can choose as an investment. I am still trying to become a rich investor or trader, but it will take time to get there.

And as long as we can keep doing research in more detail, we can be good investors because we can choose which coin we can make as an investment, especially if it is an altcoin and not a bitcoin.

[nimogsm]

Interesting topic! I'm most likely option number 3. I always think for a very long time before investing anywhere and study the project from all sides. I am not in the habit of impulsively buying different assets. My strategy is to calm down, I want to buy this or that asset in a balanced way and take profit at the first opportunity.

[Jody.Drummer]

I am not in the habit of impulsively buying different assets. My strategy is to calm down, I want to buy this or that asset in a balanced way and take profit at the first opportunity.

To be honest, I'm confused about which class of investor to classify me, but if I think about it, maybe I'm also the same as you who are classified as investors who tend to have to first know what I'm doing, I usually do in-depth research on investing. I don't want to be among those who rush into making decisions, because that will lead me to mistakes later. Usually other people want to be fast when they hear that there is a new investment asset, and in my opinion that is not a good thing to do. Better late than making a mistake.

[theskillzdatklls]

Of those, I guess option 4. But even if I had less money I'd still operate the same. Just buy some BTC/ETH when you have extra money and hold it. It's the easiest play that will come back with the best results long term almost for sure.

[adzino]

If i had to choose from one of the classes you mentioned, I would have chosen myself as a  "research investor". I believe it is the best to thoroughly investigate and understand\the investment before making a decision. The worst would be the ponzi scheme investing. It is just a quick route to lose all your money and to prove your stupidity. It's never a sustainable or reliable way to grow wealth. Being a research investor might mean that I take longer to make decisions, but it also means I'm less likely to be caught in a scam or make a bad investment. In the long run, taking the time to research and make decisions based on the risk-reward ratio is the best way to grow wealth and minimize the risk.

[mrust_mobile]

Long term Holder

This is what I am. I have no interest in trading. I buy and hold. Historically this is the best way to make money with little effort.

Also, you said it like "The Wealthy Trader" is an investor. It is not. Trader and Investor are not the same thing. Maybe you wanted to describe a guy that has many long term holdings but also making trades for fun. If that's what you wanted to say, then I can understand it. That's probably what I want to become in the future.

[Dzwaafu11]

I certainly agree with all you said, but as you well know, most of us will first join the cryptocurrency when we do. I can't even categorize my class in this place since I'm only considering how to invest in areas where profits will be generated, so I don't even care what class I belong to; all I care about is avoiding scams. All I can do is understand how the cryptocurrency industry functions and always attempt to conduct my due diligence before investing money in order to prevent becoming a victim of fraud.I don't believe I'll be a successful investor by this time because I never add a significant sum of money to the list; instead, I always add just enough so that even if I lose it, I won't feel horrible. And in order to prevent getting greedy, I don't ponder too much before I invest.

[Aikidoka]

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

I'd say that I am the researcher investor but not the one you mentioned here, as I do not spend too much time researching about the best investments or when to invest. Instead, I am more of an action-oriented investor who is confident in my decisions. At times, I consider myself an adventurous investor who looks for the best opportunities and takes calculated risks without hesitation.

I firmly believe that life is about taking opportunities and not missing them, as good investment opportunities do not come by frequently. You may only encounter a few good opportunities in a year, and it is essential to take the risk and make the most out of them. If it turns out to be a win, then it is a welcome reward, but if it results in a loss, I accept it and move on.

[Sorryfor]

I think investors never fall into the category because if he has sophisticated knowledge about investing then he is a successful entertainer. But I think if he wants to invest, he must have good knowledge and understanding about cryptocurrencies only then his investment will be successful. There are many people who invest daily to make a living and there are many day traders who invest for the long term. We can never understand which class of investors among them, so no class is required to invest. He will invest only if he has confidence in himself and good knowledge and intelligence, he can proceed to invest in the future.

[libert19]

Disagreed with ponzi scheme investor type, I think no one would invest in ponzi scheme knowingly, some investors get swayed away by sugar talk and fall for these schemes, if they were to know workings of ponzi schemes they wouldn't continue to invest in them.

Anyway, if I were to categorize myself, I'd fall under 3rd one, researcher investors category.

[Negotiation]

It is very difficult to mention which category of investors to invest in because the investment will usually depend on the person himself, he has to apply his knowledge, skills, and intelligence for where to invest. You are right that Ponzi scheme investors are not good at fraud corruption like Ponzi schemes are actually hard to detect. Most of the time it comes to light when an insider reports the incident investors are drawn to such schemes by the lure of huge profits. It will be better to practice the market yourself and check the correct currency to invest in.

You're right about ponzi investing and besides, I think those types are people who are just learning about investing. I have also invested in web ponzi when I was just learning to invest, and I did it unconsciously, without research, and just following the trend. However, from time to time, I think I'm also on the sidelines of investors doing their research before investing.

[ancafe]

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

Many people are obsessed with Ponzi schemes because of the get-rich-quick deals and the absolute folly of hoping to get rich quick without doing anything.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

In general, everyone who is involved and understands how to invest will definitely rely on research, because before deciding to get involved we have views on investing, at least we know the level of risk and what strategy is suitable for us to use. So don't decide something without basic knowledge to start with, because many mistakes start from an inability to understand the problem.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

They also form themselves before becoming experienced traders, by learning some basic things such as knowledge and skills, they don't achieve this like turning their palms, they go through a lot of processes to arrive at the three conclusions you mentioned. To reach this point is very difficult, you are required to have the knowledge, experience and expertise to analyze the market and most importantly you have large capital to get involved in investing, if you rely on a little money I make sure you will never get rich as fast as expected.

Unfortunately most people never pay attention to the process of their journey in trading, so they think success is very easy to get, even though they have fallen and lost many times in trading in crypto, even a lot of money they have spent to start, but the difference is they dare to take risks every decision made.

What class of an investor are you?

Let's say I want to be an investor more than the points you mentioned, because sometimes we are more adapted from the ability to make investments.

If there were one more option, I would also choose as an adventurous investor, which would be more relevant to what I'm doing than the classes the OP provided. From my investment point of view, I come to this market to make a profit, so I will not pass up any opportunity and am willing to take risks to invest anywhere as long as I feel it has potential and can be profitable. Many people just love to invest in bitcoin, and they pass up a lot of opportunities with altcoins. But to me, if an altcoin is good enough and can make a profit, then I have no reason to ignore it.

[m2017]

~snip

It is far from reality to divide into separate classes and be limited to only one type. In fact, each investor at different stages of his activity may belong to a different class. Moreover, nothing prevents combining these classes at the same time.

The list of categories you suggested is limited and I don’t even know which one to choose, because I don’t find anything close to me. That's why I never like polls like this that don't have an answer option that I like.

[Ojima-ojo]

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had several profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and show expertise.

What class of an investor are you?

I belong to the wealthy investors since I was able to invest in Bitcoin straight away when I heard about it and discovered it has long-term prospects because before then I was into real estate and this has built my knowledge of long-term potential assets and since the real estate sector is becoming overcrowded I was looking for an alternative and fund Bitcoin as the best form of diversification and alternative for me so took full advantage of that.

The other class of investors look irrelevant to me since it doesn't require long-term goals like Bitcoin but then you did well to have mentioned all of them.

What I believe does not belong to the list is the class of Ponzi scheme being clarified as an investment, I think that is a big misunderstanding and slap on investment to classify Ponzi as an investment because Ponzi is a scam and not an investment.

[kryptqnick]

I think the problem is that humans are biased towards themselves, so it's hard to accurately measure what sort of investors we are, based purely on self-perception and self-reporting. For example, someone might know they are a ponzi investor but won't want to admit it, or another person might invest in ponzis but strongly believe that they aren't ponzis, and in both cases the response will be inaccurate. Also, of course many would like to consider themselves 'researcher investors' because it sounds right and responsible, and that's how we want to see ourselves and others. Some may also qualify as wealthy traders but wouldn't want others to know that and thus wouldn't respond this way.

[tjtonmoy]

I don't know what to name this. I only invest in Bitcoin. I have no interest in altcoins as they are centralized shit. It takes some research on when to invest and all. But that does not put it in any category that you have mentioned in OP.
Maybe a wealthy investor, but the results are yet to come because I am still hodling. So can't be that either. Have to wait a long time before I can even categorize this.

And you can expect to get the most profit from investing in bitcoin alone. Finding the right altcoin takes time, and even though we have managed to find it, it doesn't guarantee that the altcoin will be profitable in the altcoin season. So by only focusing on investing in bitcoin, we at least have a path to profit in the future.

But people still think that investing in altcoins can also provide benefits, especially since many people still try to invest in new projects with the hope that the project will explode and provide them with huge profits. Some projects can explode but most of them will just disappear from crypto. So they should be careful in choosing altcoins or investing in new projects.

I may be an old investor who has invested in bitcoin but I don't think of myself as a rich investor yet because I'm still trying to own more bitcoins. And that's what makes me a bit confused about choosing the right type of investor for me

If you like safety and don't dare to take risks in search of higher returns, then bitcoin is a safe choice for you in this market. But that doesn't mean people who invest in altcoins aren't investors or are doing nonsense. I mean, I don't think all altcoins are garbage; how can garbage be profitable for so many people?

I also invest in bitcoin, but I'm not a bitcoin maximalist, so I'm not too upset with altcoins. If given the choice, I would choose to be a research investor because I am always looking for opportunities, I don't want to be tied to just one bitcoin and pass up thousands of options with altcoins. Altcoins are riskier, but their rewards are well worth it, so there's no reason to ignore them.
I don't know what the purpose of people investing in crypto is. But I'm here for profit, so I will take advantage of every opportunity.

I think they think ahead not not to invest but research and see if they think the project can grow later after they invest, and I think the people who do the research are the smartest of all.

Yes, they are. They know how risky it is to invest without knowing if what they are investing. There are people who invest on a project only because it is popular or it is listed in a popular exchange. They are doing it wrong but I can't really blame them because maybe these people are lacking in intelligence and they won't still understand some things that are written on the whitepaper or on the roadmap.

For them, it was only a waste of time and effort and I believe that many of them will just accept their faith. If their investment goes well, fine they will be happy about it but if not then it's fine as well. They will just stop or move on to the other project.

[tjtonmoy]

Some projects can explode but most of them will just disappear from crypto. So they should be careful in choosing altcoins or investing in new projects.

This is the reason why I choose to avoid ALTs. I have faced this many times in the past. Like it just disappear. You can never know if it's gonna be a success or not. And also why waste time on finding the right ATL coin when you already have the best in the market in your hand. Bitcoin will always give you the best results. So try putting your time in that. Analyze the market and create a plan on how you can get the best out of it.
At least that's what I think. But people being greedy, they will always try to choose the shortcut and wanna become rich over night. For that they choose altcoins and in then end, they face scams.

I can say myself recently is a long term holder.

Compared to before when I was really new into cryptocurrency and less time I have to actually see and keep up to date with the price and condition, I think that long term holder might be a right choice for me. I'm holding Bitcoin and BNB as my assets with DCA strategy, so whenever I invest, how much the price it doesn't really matter. As I keep accumulating it for hoping to get really good return in few more years.

[Unbunplease]

Personally, I refer to myself as a long-term holder who can hold my assets for more than one year if I see a prospect. Of course, it is possible to successfully buy at the bottom-before the bull run-but that is very rare. That's why you need to hold a significant number of cryptocurrencies, because you can't be sure which one will shoot up.

They are doing it wrong but I can't really blame them because maybe these people are lacking in intelligence and they won't still understand some things that are written on the whitepaper or on the roadmap.

For them, it was only a waste of time and effort and I believe that many of them will just accept their faith. If their investment goes well, fine they will be happy about it but if not then it's fine as well. They will just stop or move on to the other project.

For a lot of us who have been screwed in the past, I believe, we are more on this type of investor.
Though I was doing my study also before investing, still I got caught in some failed projects.
Remember the ICO heydays, I invested in some projects thinking that I can truly find good ones.
But some of them really just ate my funds without return. And from then on, I am hesitant to invest in new projects even if it is a promising one.

[Viscore]

I agree that there are those types of investors who classify themselves as angel investors, venture capitalist,¹ etc. But before they become all of these types of investors, from my own perspective, I have put them into some classes. It is not an exhaustive or an elaborative list but at least, you get the idea of where I am driving at.

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

What class of an investor are you?

Probably I belong to a researcher investor. I think it’s always basic to know what to invest and how will you push through on your investment by doing my own diligence in making a good research. I don’t actually invest  because it’s promising or people made a lot of positive testimonies on it. I have to follow my own instinct and by doing intensive researches, I finally come up with my final decision on where and what to invest, and how to make that certain investment works.

[ethereumhunter]

If you like safety and don't dare to take risks in search of higher returns, then bitcoin is a safe choice for you in this market. But that doesn't mean people who invest in altcoins aren't investors or are doing nonsense. I mean, I don't think all altcoins are garbage; how can garbage be profitable for so many people?

I also invest in bitcoin, but I'm not a bitcoin maximalist, so I'm not too upset with altcoins. If given the choice, I would choose to be a research investor because I am always looking for opportunities, I don't want to be tied to just one bitcoin and pass up thousands of options with altcoins. Altcoins are riskier, but their rewards are well worth it, so there's no reason to ignore them.
I don't know what the purpose of people investing in crypto is. But I'm here for profit, so I will take advantage of every opportunity.

Of course, some altcoins can be profitable but of the many altcoins, people can invest in the wrong altcoins unless they stay on the top altcoin list. But that also doesn't guarantee they can get big profits when the altcoin season comes because we know that the list of top altcoins will always change in every cycle. This makes people have to analyze more deeply to find out what altcoins can roughly occupy the top altcoin list.

As long as we know the risks of investing in altcoins and can choose the right altcoin, that's okay and just remember to use the money we can afford so that when we experience a loss, we won't lose too much. And don't just invest in one basket but spread your investment over many coins after you do the analysis.

This is the reason why I choose to avoid ALTs. I have faced this many times in the past. Like it just disappear. You can never know if it's gonna be a success or not. And also why waste time on finding the right ATL coin when you already have the best in the market in your hand. Bitcoin will always give you the best results. So try putting your time in that. Analyze the market and create a plan on how you can get the best out of it.
At least that's what I think. But people being greedy, they will always try to choose the shortcut and wanna become rich over night. For that they choose altcoins and in then end, they face scams.

Yes, that's what someone should avoid if they can't accept the risk of losing money by investing in altcoins. Some people will focus on only investing in bitcoin without touching altcoins because they are confident in bitcoin's ability to increase in the next cycle. They don't want to bother choosing altcoins so they will only buy bitcoins at every correction or low price.

People are tempted to invest in altcoins because of the many advertisements or stories about people who have made huge profits investing in altcoins. But really, those people are just lucky to get an altcoin that can improve because most of them just buy altcoins based on suggestions from others.

Invest in altcoins except for ETH, all the rest should be done with thorough research before investing, I never believe in old altcoins, especially those top coins.
Not only will some altcoins be profitable, but I can say that most altcoins are profitable during the bull season. Investing in altcoins should not be considered a long-term investment, and if you know how to invest at the right time, it is not difficult to make a profit from them.

I love to invest in altcoins, but I have never invested in any altcoins this bear season. Only when the bull season comes will it be the right time to invest in altcoins. In this bearish season, bitcoin should still be our focus.

[Pejoh Asu]

I know almost 10 years of investment and about 6 years of crypto investment, and I think I'm still a newbie because I only invest with a small value, at the beginning of 2017 I bought 2 btc with a total value of about $ 560 and I used it for cloud mining 1.5 btc and I keep in wallet 0.5 btc, i lose and lose 1 btc when cloud mining and remaining in wallet about 1.2 btc, luckily i can save until end of year so i can sell in early 2018 and get around $13k.

Do you need clarification? Because if I remember correctly, in 2017, at its lowest point, each bitcoin was worth almost $1k, so buying 2BTC for just $560 doesn't seem right to me.

Moreover, participating in investing with little or a lot of capital has nothing to do with your experience. You have been investing for six years with cryptocurrencies, proving you are an adept investor in the market.

Well different exchanger where you trade and different the exchange rate could make your lowest and his lowest become different as well but lol yeah $1k i can confirm in 2017 is the lowest price ... maybe he refer to early 2016 where the lowest point is at below $400!

Anyways ... having so much time spent in crypto investment doenst always guarantee you categorized as the wealth investor , a lot of people made huge mistakes back in early adoption where bitcoin price 200 times lower than the current price and decide to take the profit at 2 times - 10 times only where the potential much more than that, just look where we are now.

As the name suggests, altcoins are an alternative only so that we can focus more and accumulate them on the main coin, namely Bitcoin. You are right to invest in altcoins on average taking advantage of the hype or it is safer in a bull season as it can take profits in short timeframes. After the bull season is over for altcoins it will be quite difficult to turn things around and pass their ATH.

More precisely, these people are part of influencers who are deliberately designed to increase the trend of a token or coin. Nothing more than that and trying to manipulate rookies into falling into it. Most beginners without experience want to earn instantly and it always doesn't end well.

[Baoo]

To be honest, I am basically a research investor, I really take a long of time by analyzing every new condition in the market and pricing of the digital currencies I am interested in, before making any decision. From my perspective, it is necessary to minimalise your crypto portfolio and focus only on the ones on Top 20 due to it be perilous to invest a large money on unknown and shit coins, they be pumping the volume by purpose  to attract investors specifically the beginners ( Ponzi scheme investors) and once they increase their market cap volume, the price suddenly and dramatically goes down. At this moment, there are more than 23k cryptocurrencies in the market, I am pretty sure that majority of them are scam probably like 20k.

i was a research investor when i tried to invest in some coins in the past. however, i was screwed by my few investments even if i did my due diligence. these scammers can't be stopped so long their aim is to pocket whatever they can collect. so yeah, i stopped chasing of these new projects. for now, gonna stick with btc, eth or bnb. not looking for new alts to invest into. i was staking several coins in the past, but stopped that as well. most staking coins are not worth your time and resources. when it goes down, you have no more profits. you are merely just wasting your time.

[Razmirraz]

When I read the entire Investor class according to your understanding, I put myself in the third class. Caution is needed in investing, any investment media is not free from the risk of loss, so thorough research is needed before investing. I prefer to stay silent and wait if I don't find a suitable coin to invest in, the valuable experience I got while investing has made major changes in every decision I will make.

[lienfaye]

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

Based on the explanation for each category I think I belong to this one. Because before I invest into any project, I make sure that I understand everything well. If you're an investor, it's important to know what you're getting into before deciding to invest. Unfortunately many of us (especially the newbies) are not careful when investing, the reason why they're ending up investing in a scam projects.

In my case, I only invest in cryptos that are proven to profitable if you hold for long term. In my portfolio I have Bitcoin and established altcoins. I invested to these coins because I believe they're worthy based on my research as an investor who's looking forward to be a huge gainer in future.

The bear market typically sees a downturn in the overall cryptocurrency market, and it may be risky to invest in altcoins during this period. Therefore, it is advisable to focus on bitcoin, which is considered the leading cryptocurrency and has a history of performing well during bear markets. It is best to wait for the bull market to invest in altcoins, as they tend to experience more significant growth during this period.

Well, if I would invest into something, I would want to be a combination of the researcher and wealthy trader since I think it is really important for us to consider the background of what we will be investing into. We should do some thorough investigation so that our decision would be based on our personal assessment based on what we know therefore making a wise decision in it. Also, in the future, I do dream of being the wealthy trader since it is all in one where you have the knowledge and experience in trading making you successful in it and to be financially secured as well.

[Sir Legend]

At the moment i'm still early and planning to upgrade to intermediate level, i think medium size investors are those who have put at least $1 million money in crypto, currently most of the assets that i have are altcoins like MATIC, BNB, TRX and many altcoins that are currently valuable cheap, if there are some assets that I have that can go up 1000x then I can become an intermediate investor.

[Litzki1990]

I may not know what kind of investor I am but I have some ideas about investing. While investing, I always try to get an idea of how the market may go in the future by considering both the current market situation and the past market situation. I definitely think before I invest and then I don't decide to invest. I never make investment decisions based on market volatility. New investors usually make the mistake of investing only after seeing some volatility in the market, which they regret later on. Hope I'm not on the list of new investors.

[Cryptmuster]

I want to add that investing in altcoins requires your constant attention, I can’t even call it investing in my case, it’s still more like trading, because I don’t allow altcoins to fall much below the purchase price. Altcoins can bring good profits, but I'm not so sure about them, and they make me more worried, perhaps this is natural, since greater risks can be associated with greater profits.

As a researcher myself, I know we must scrutinize the market's every twist and turn. Minimize danger, maximize gains – that's the ticket! Focus on the big-shot cryptos with a history of triumph.

But don't snub the underdogs completely. Sure, some are swindles or pyramid schemes, but hidden treasures lurk too. Massive returns could be yours! Do your homework, take measured risks.

At the end of the day, it's about your taste and guts. Some investors play it safe, sticking to the top 20. Others? Risk-takers, betting on the little guys. Whatever your game, stay sharp, stay watchful, and don't bite off more than you can chew.

[LastKiss]

~snip~

What class of an investor are you?

Wondering why there was no lucky investor because I used 20% of my capital to invest in a project that can be 50-50 to succeed and fail. The rest I will use my research to choose where I should put my money cause in this crypto space we can't guarantee a project will give us ROI that's why around 20% I will use it for luck-based investment.

[Joshapat]

I have participated in investments that used ponzi schemes, 8 years ago or in 2015 I actively participated in HYIPs and cloud mining, I also actively promoted on the internet so that many people also got scammed from the ponzi investments that I did, in total I got a profit of approx. 30% of the total capital I use for ponzi schemes.

[Bitstar_coin]

I will consider myself in between the researcher and the wealthy investor. As an investor, i think it is natural to at least conduct a small research on any project before investing. It may not include deep research as individual level of understanding is different but i believe asking the basic questions from friends and like minded people can also be consider as research.
I have done several investment over the years, some where very successful, others weren't that successful and few others end up becoming scam (trust me even the top gurus have fallen to scam at some point)

There is always room for growth and am learning with each investment to gain more experience and gain more knowledge on what to look out for even though we can't get it right 100%.

[mvdheuvel1983]

New Investor is where I belong. I would have love to see myself in the researcher class but one thing about me is that I cant wait to gather much more information on a particular investment.
Not that i wont do any research but spending mùch more time finding out about an investment first before investing in it. I prefer experience in my investment. 
Just know little vital information about the investment and start gradually.

Actually a good investors will take it time to cross check the kind of investment that will be profitable for he/her before venturing into the investment as said, so I believe that if you want to place yourself in higher grade of investors, you have to be calculative, so another thing is that, its obvious that you can place yourself in the grade you want if you invest in bitcoin for some years without touching your investment funds, because I believe that with long duration of bitcoin investment, the fraction used to purchase bitcoin  after six to five (5/6) years you might have your investment funds or capital doubled. So only problem or challenges many people have during bitcoin investment is determination.

[dansus021]

I think this thread discussed about Low, Moderative and Aggressive investor but it is something else heheh. Because everyone in here who invest in crypto is considered as High Risk/Aggresive investor in my opinion.

back the original topic that he discussed about HYIP investors, back couple of years ago I found one of my friend is HYIP investor he know that some of hyip website is ponzi scheme but he is early investor so he pay dozen of money and get out when the site is old enough hahaha

[Kadal Ijo]

Investment is a smart way to make money, unfortunately there are many investment scams that provide big profits even though they only use ponzi schemes.

I've been hit by a ponzi scheme investment case, at first they paid according to the time then I increased the deposit and finally it became a scam.

That will be a golden time to make easy profits with altcoins, and I agree with you for now, focus mainly on bitcoin but don't forget to research the altcoin market to prepare for next season.

I am also  a researcher investor. I researched very well before investing in anything. Because calculation are very important to gain success in life. I am not wealthy person but before every investment, I took suggestions from financial gurus and I also saw many videos of them . Because by this way ,we can think independently and that give  though of rich people . For becoming rich people ,there is must to think like rich people. If you have a company of rich people and you have a mentor that teaches you that person is much luck than poor person because poor person is poor due to his belief system.

I belong to a different class of investors, those who invest themselves and most often my investments tend to 0 )) but I don’t get upset and continue to do it, because this is my hobby.  The main thing is not to get upset) and invest only the amount that you can lose and not regret.

Good thing that you already know what are you supposed to do, which is having a mindset that you will invest with the amount that you are willing and afford to lose only..Investment has a bit similarity in gambling, always remind yourself that it's not always a win and lose. At its most basic level, investment risk includes the possibility of a complete loss. As you've mentioned, your investments tends to come $0.00, why not try to do something or some kind of strategy since as an investor, you need to to understand classic investment strategy,

i don’t consider myself as a risk-taker and i am also extremely indecisive so as everyone can assume: it takes me a very long time to come to a conclusion i have a lot of doubts and what-ifs in my mind so it’s important that i know what’s happening

because poor person is poor due to his belief system.

of course not you already said it yourself a rich person is LUCKY if they are surrounded with rich people what poor people are lacking are opportunities not their belief system

[gunhell16]

Maybe I'm in the category of "researcher investor" because that's what I do most of the time, and even now I'm still doing that. Although it is dangerous, it is said that the sword will not be sharp if the blacksmith does not sharpen it well.

I believe that investors only want to make a profit with the capital that they will use in a business opportunity, whether it is outside or inside the cryptocurrency business. That's always the aim of an investor, no one else.

What class of an investor are you?

I'd say I'm part of the researcher investor.
After having enough experience in investing, starting from a new investor, starting with only a little knowledge and enough money to start investing. And then reaching the Ponzi scheme investor, I know most of us here can relate to this. Many investors also tried this due to curiosity and easily believed in the number of interest returns they promised.

Then right now, due to the experience these past few years, I am considering doing my research before starting investing. Analyzing the investment based on the gathered information whether it is worth it to invest or not.

of the 4 types of investors that you provide, now I am in type number 3 because I have gone through types 1 and 2. I am now The research investor who wants to become a wealth trader. I am very careful in investing, do my own research, analyze myself and not be taken in by existing media because I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, I used to follow the existing hype, it turns out it was a big mistake, stay smart in investing

[erep]

Altcoin investment is not a priority scale for the long-term investment category, so you can ignore altcoin investment to avoid high risks and just focus on bitcoin investment. However, if you have additional options for altcoin investment then always prioritize the "research investor" strategy by regularly monitoring the latest news from altcoin projects, many unexpected cases occur in altcoins which can potentially cause losses in loss of asset value and we must be willing to lose assets if we add altcoin assets in the portfolio. I avoid investing altcoins using personal funds, I will try to get investment funds from airdrop programs, and convert assets to top altcoins.

Maybe I'm in the category of "researcher investor" because that's what I do most of the time, and even now I'm still doing that. Although it is dangerous, it is said that the sword will not be sharp if the blacksmith does not sharpen it well.

So how successful have you been with altcoins investment because it is not easy for some altcoins to turn out profit. They are good for short term during the bitcoin halving bull because that is the peak of bitcoin and then most of the altcoins take same advantage to grow and after that the next thing is dumping and the coins fall back to initial price or below. Altcoins are the worst hit during the bear season and in this season some never make it back to CMC, so bitcoin still remains a better option to invest in.

[oktana]

The researcher investor because I have never invested without doing proper research, unless it’s just a tiny amount of my money. However, my research doesn’t take time; for me I do not spend forever trying to know about what I’m investing it. Some core information is enough.

Btw, I won’t be surprised to see people claim to be the Ponzi Scheme Investors because I’ve come to see that some persons who invest (and sometimes lose their money) in ponzi schemes know about it even before it comes crashing down. Except that sometimes they still get unlucky anyways.

[taufik123]

Most of the members who are here have a researcher Investor class because this is very common for everyone to do.
New investors may exist, as they are still familiar with crypto investment and do not yet fully understand it.

I am also included in the advanced research investor, because I do detailed research then put some money in for long-term investments.
But to get into Bitcoin does not require research, it has become the main recommendation.

And about the last Class of Rich Traders, no one would make investments even if they were rich traders, because they didn't have the knowledge.
Professional, wealthy traders may fall into that class.
But not always have a profitable investment, there will definitely be losses behind all these advantages.

The accumulation of tiny money makes huge holdings. It’s the same as we have it with those that practice the DCA for an investment strategy. You continue buying and end up with a huge some in few years. That’s why, we most times don’t can’t our loses in gambling when we make small stakes but, these stakes count towards something.

Having to do some research before I jump into an investment is the right place to be. It’s a norm that no one likes to lose and I’m saying emphatically that, I don’t like to lose. Not only in an investment situation, I just don’t vibe with the idea of loses. It might make me lose some opportunities to a win investment but then, the fear of loses always pushes me to do the most I could to be confident and comfortable in an idea before jumping in.

  Being an investor is one of the best ways to make money or earn money, as long as the investment you make is right. Because if you are a class of investors who only spend money and don't think carefully about the investment, your capital investment will be wasted.

  That's why we should be wise investors and don't be like investors who are always scammed by scammers, but other investors don't really have anything to bring; they should learn, of course. That's why I'm researching coins to invest in here in the crypto space.

[Essential10]

I believe in taking a calculated and informed approach to investing rather than following trends or popular opinion. In my research, I find all available information and analyze it carefully before making a decision. I'm still willing to take a risk when I see potential in a particular investment, but only after I've done my due diligence and feel confident in my choices. I am strategic and methodical in my approach, always aware of potential risks and rewards. Ultimately, I am a research investor, willing to put in the time and effort to make smart and informed investment decisions.

Precisely! Being an investor, your goal is to achieve your expected value of your investment. before you consider to invest, first thing that you must to do is to make a research about the project that you want to invest, analyze and make a study about it so that the money you will put in it will not be wasted in the future. If investment is your forte, for sure that you already experienced being scammed by others, it really happens to a new investors because they are quick to believe even without sufficient explanation and evidence about the project and that's one of the main reason why pioneer investors already know what they are going to do prior investing their money in a prospect project.

[shawonngp]

In the early stage of my investment when i was new investor i got big support from my family members and i started invest. But now i am in third category because i like to invest with deeply researched, it can be crypto investment or other offline in real life investment.

[gabbie2010]

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

[
The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

What class of an investor are you?

This is the best option that fit my category as an investor, I do a lot of research before taking a decisive decision on what to invest on and what not to invest on, of course with reference to investing in cryptocurrencies it is a wise decision to research first to avoid investing in shit coins, there are plenty and many altcoins in the market both profitable ones, scams and abandoned ones, I read stories of investors who did their home work on research diligently about the best three altcoins to invest on which later became a success story after earning some decent profits from their investment though on long term perspective.

[Suzume]

Im a new investor but you are saying that family hepls for company in our country its totally wrong. In our country if a student want to do something their own family is the main problem of starting. They are not allowing to do their son and children's to do other things besides study. That's totally wrong it's hard to do something as a new in our country it's rare to get family support from starting.

[Litzki1990]

New Investor is where I belong. I would have love to see myself in the researcher class but one thing about me is that I cant wait to gather much more information on a particular investment.
Not that i wont do any research but spending mùch more time finding out about an investment first before investing in it. I prefer experience in my investment. 
Just know little vital information about the investment and start gradually.

You are new to investing so researching the market and trying to gain new ideas about investing will always bring something positive to you and your investment. The more we know about a particular subject, the more proficient we become about that subject. Even if you think you know enough about investing, you should still learn more about investing because the more you want to know, the more you will learn. There are several stages of investing, some may have just started investing or some have been investing for some time and some investors are more experienced and have been investing for a long time. The stages of investing that I mentioned are different for every stage of the investor and everyone's investing skills and experience are different. As you continue to learn about investing, your investing skills will continue to grow.

[Volimack]

I am a new investor but family members who do not support many families to contribute a small amount of money to your company. Nowadays most of us have a chaotic family life we are always defending our ideas. Which is one of the reasons for disagreement among family members. The main goal of a business organization is to surpass all other organizations and reach the pinnacle of success. If the family creates problems practicing this kind of mentality will have an adverse effect on the family.

And on the other hand, I also sometimes take high risks by betting on dropping money into one of the fairly new projects. 50:50 I consider it a gamble to get some important lessons from one type of investment to another. For me, the challenge is to be willing to take risks when other people are afraid to enter and conversely, I avoid risks when other people are aggressive in investing. As for investors, Ponzi schemes are the thing I avoid the most and don't want to touch. Maybe I think Ponzi Scheme Investors are loan sharks who at any time will take the opportunity to harm other people on a large scale.

Yes, of course this will be my choice, before we put the money we have saved so far, we divert it to an investment. Of course, everyone will definitely research first how the prospects for that investment will develop. If you are sure about this investment, for example Bitcoin, you have studied the Whitepiper white paper and studied how the Blockchain system works. Of course, I will invest in these assets, of course I will do DCA every month, especially as we entered the bearish phase yesterday, of course it will be an opportunity to double your money.

If we do really just tend to look or zoom out, whether which one you would really be dealing with, it would really be basically be needing up those kind of research exempt into those ponzi investors on which it is basically you are trying to put yourself in harm knowing these ponzi are scams in the first place. Then why you would really be putting up yourself on such condition if you do really know on where it would be going?
For the sake of risks taking then it wont really be that worth because of the risks involved which it isnt really that something recommendable specially into those noobs who are really that aiming for fast income or money which they are really that putting themselves on great danger.

For those wealthy investors then they wont really be that able to reach out that condition for nothing, of course they are already reached up the pinnacle of success when it comes to investment
on which it did really come into a point that you dont have already problems when speaking about capital and multiple income source.

[AnonBitCoiner]

In the early stage of my investment when i was new investor i got big support from my family members and i started invest. But now i am in third category because i like to invest with deeply researched, it can be crypto investment or other offline in real life investment.

I think you should be at third category from start because investigation prior to invest is a suitable option but perhaps you learn from your losses and now you are investigating about different coins. Investigation is not a bad thing but if you are spending much more time on Investigation then I think you will hardly find the accurate decision on time because now market is going to pump and if your Investigation ends you will have lost this better chance of earning.

There is no need to investigate about bitcoin so you can invest easily and quickly in bitcoin without any worry because the price is hitting higher value rapidly so soon we will see another highest price. One should must think deeply before investment because money does not come easily so if we are making an investment then we should also think about risk and if we can handle the risk then we can also take the profit but don't be too late if you want a bitcoin investment.

[pinggoki]

I can't be sure about this as I don't want to come off as someone that toots their own horn but I would say that I'm the kind of investor that's going to be making a lot of profit because I deal in the long-term when I invest in something and in the case of bitcoin, I see the potential that it have and I don't like the idea that I will be missing out on bitcoin again, I had the opportunity when it was cheaper, not going to let that slip away ever again.

[bettercrypto]

I just noticed that most of us here are really researcher investors, and that is the truth, and we should be active crypto community traders in this industry. But I didn't notice that there are any Ponzi investors here, or maybe no one wants to admit it.

But most are also new investors, and there will be more newbie investors as we approach the halving and bull run next year, that's for sure. Many investors will chase once the plane takes off or the ship's anchor is lifted.

It would be unwise to dabble into a new project and not understand what you are doing, this will easily waste your money. Investment/trading and any other avenues that give money need learning, and not only that, the person must assess the level of capital needed, the risk involved and the time it would consume. These are some of the vital factors that affect any investor and trader, and must be some of the criteria to consider before opting for any one.

Personally, I trade and invest in multiple assets and I believe that everyone could try their best in them too no matter how they view them. As we have said, learning is key, and it's until we learn that we will definitely know if we are fitting for a certain trading/investment class or not, not that we will just choose and let the rest be, all must be considered and known for the best decisions. By the way, you may consider this as extra advice.

However, for the scamming aspect, well, it is the person who wants himself to be scammed in this regard. The world is exposed enough that we should know the right channels to go. A simple research of the right companies/persons to use shouldn't be too cumbersome for any intending investors/traders.

[franky1]

What class of an investor are you?

i am:

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

even if i love bitcoin i wont invest near a ATH i wait for the correction.. people can only know when a ATH is happening if they do their research
buy low sell high.. is the best rule to follow. do your research to see if price is at a cycles low mid or high

gold is at total history ATH so not a good time to buy at all

[ivankoh]

Ya. According to the descriptive concept, I am a research type of investor, I love bitcoin but also research altcoins to increase profit opportunities. That also helped me learn a lot of experience in risk management, portfolio and asset management. In the era of crypto macro development and constant change, it is necessary to research to invest with the right goals.

[Uruhara]

In the early stage of my investment when i was new investor i got big support from my family members and i started invest. But now i am in third category because i like to invest with deeply researched, it can be crypto investment or other offline in real life investment.

I am also closer to the category of investors who act based on research results. Because without research it is carelessness and speculation which is clearly not true. It's all speculation. But speculating with the help of research results is the best and justified. So it could be said that the most difficult part of investing is actually gathering information in the context of the research itself. And sometimes we also compete to get information faster than anyone else. Because those who are the most late in getting information are definitely those who are late in entering into the investment itself. So it is not surprising that there are paid services to collect information to meet these needs. But I prefer to research in my own way and that can train my own thoroughness. And there is a strong feeling of satisfaction when we manage to get information faster than other people.

On the other hand, I am the type of investor who is not good at doing research, so I prefer to choose coins that are safe to invest in, namely Bitcoin. the difference is that I do research on price action, so that when the price decreases I can buy it, or when I have more money then I buy bitcoin whatever the price, especially when the bearish season comes, of course there is not much consideration in buying it

[AVE5]

I am a diversified investor that has the goal of a short-term trading that has a high risk to have been a quick rich earning to solve my financial challenges while chasing after a pace to a long-term investment with a low risk but profitable aimed to settling for my retirement in the future

[pusaka]

Making research first before we make an investment in my opinion is the most important thing to do, and I believe people who are successful with their investments are people who also do in-depth research, especially in this cryptocurrency space. I'm not going to say that if you do your research then you're guaranteed to make a profit, it's not always the case, but at least the percentage of success will be higher. Especially if the research is based on real experiences that we have experienced, of course it will increase our chances of success in doing research.

[Pablo-wood]

I am more of a researcher because the market is always changing and one particular approach doesn't suit all market conditions so doing my research before making my decision becomes a top most priority for my investment. When I started I began I started as a complete beginner sourcing capital from friends and family but was to no avail then I had to do some side job to generate capital

[NewRanger]

I can't be sure about this as I don't want to come off as someone that toots their own horn but I would say that I'm the kind of investor that's going to be making a lot of profit because I deal in the long-term when I invest in something and in the case of bitcoin, I see the potential that it have and I don't like the idea that I will be missing out on bitcoin again, I had the opportunity when it was cheaper, not going to let that slip away ever again.

I think so and perhaps it is not necessary to classify them because investors may have to buy several different products in the end to make a profit like you did.

[jrrsparkles]

There are only two types of investors, retail investors and sharks.

People we found in bitcointalk are mostly will be retail investors because we are talking about in thousands when it comes to investments either its related to crypto or any other assets while sharks got the capital which gives them an edge to make money a lot faster than a retail investor.

[Fortify]

I agree that there are those types of investors who classify themselves as angel investors, venture capitalist,¹ etc. But before they become all of these types of investors, from my own perspective, I have put them into some classes. It is not an exhaustive or an elaborative list but at least, you get the idea of where I am driving at.

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

What class of an investor are you?

A lot of these overlap or one might turn into another. Anyone who has been investing for a while will understand that things always start off slowly and can take a year or 3 before you really start seeing the fruit of your patience. A research driven investor who sticks with it and keeps adding funds over a long time, while learning along the way, will eventually become a wealthy trader. It seems rather silly to class it as just a "ponzi scheme" investor, but rather one who is always seeking out "get rich quick" type financial rewards, which more often than not lead to financial failures and setbacks - because scams come in so many forms. It doesn't even need to be a scam, there are so many overhyped companies out there which are coasting along on thin air but eventually come back to earth with a bang.

Or simply they do really connect into each other on which it is really just that right that one could turn into another basing up into someones plans and preference. Just like on what you have said that
research investor/trader would upgrade into that wealth trader which everything do comes from newbie trader. Therefore, it is really just that connected to each other, it would really be just that depending
on how you would really be that making yourself to cross out those status basing up into your experience. Some would be able to succeed and some wouldnt really be able to do so.

For me then it would really be that be on this order.

1. Newbie investor
2. Research investtor
3. Wealthy Trader (if succeeded)

Excluding that ponzi investor but there are people who do eventually trying out their luck when it comes to these investments on which it is really that somewhat
they do really gamble out their money for them to make money if they wouldnt really be scammed in the end.

[bitLeap]

I can't be sure about this as I don't want to come off as someone that toots their own horn but I would say that I'm the kind of investor that's going to be making a lot of profit because I deal in the long-term when I invest in something and in the case of bitcoin, I see the potential that it have and I don't like the idea that I will be missing out on bitcoin again, I had the opportunity when it was cheaper, not going to let that slip away ever again.

I think so and perhaps it is not necessary to classify them because investors may have to buy several different products in the end to make a profit like you did.

Or more flexible, in other words, an investor will be the type of investor according to the situation they experience. To be honest, I'm not too sure which type I fall into, but I think the closest I can come is the type that does in-depth research.
As in the case of bitcoin for example, I was not as confident as I am now, but after I did some research, including looking at the history of bitcoin development, the confidence began to grow. Maybe I'm not as smart as other people or people who are more expert in doing research, but at least I have something that I can hold on to in doing research.

People who take risks by knowing that they are investing in Ponzi schemes but still do it just hoping that they might earn a lot of profit from it shouldn't be afraid to admit it because there is nothing wrong in doing something deliberately, especially if you are spending an amount that you can easily afford to lose just like a gambler who gambles for fun or just to see if their luck works or not if they have a plan to play a certain game and try to hit a high multiplier choosing very high odds.

However, someone who is too naïve to understand that they've been investing in Ponzi schemes and have done it multiple times hoping that they will get rich from their investments might feel bad opening up about it because that will make them look like a fool since they have been scammed multiple times by the same type of scammers.

What class of an investor are you?

Even though I haven’t come across an economic or investor classification like the one you mentioned here before I will give brief information about myself according to the types of investors you mentioned here;

First of all, I think I am partly a Ponzi investor because although very rarely I make risky but high-return investment choices that have the logic of working this way. On the other hand, I think this is the most accurate classification in which I can describe myself as I have the profile of a researcher who generally prefers to do detailed research for long-term investments. I think this option can be a dominant in my investment profile especially if I conduct detailed analysis and research about my entire long-term investment basket.

Finally, I think that “The Wealthy Trader” option may be a partially suitable option for me because I have a deep-rooted history of successful transactions, experience and knowledge in financial markets. I think this option may be suitable for me especially since I have frequently made successful and significant profit-making transactions in the last year.

[jacafbiz]

I can classify myself as a researcher investor because I tried to dot my i's and cross my t's but in a bull market it is better to be a Ponzi scheme investors because almost everything pumps, you first buy and do your research so has to know how long the project can go. Doing through research in the bull market is a waste of time and will make you lose money

[Mate2237]

Op you would have add average investors. Because when I looked at the categories I didn't see my level or the category I belong. From the categories I am not a new investors because I am not yet to invest but already investing and I am  not a Ponzi scheme investor again though I have invested there and lost but not again and I am not doing research to think before investing and as I said, I am already investing so I am not there as well then also I am not a wealthy investor so from the list where do you categorized the already investing average investors?

Getting research ab out different coins made me a better trader but that take more time as compared to a tutor or someone is teaching a person trading. Personally I believe we should do trading with having a good capital available in each sense.

Also we should avoid most things in trading like we have to do trading with full confidence in order to get out of the pressure of loss. Mostly users got frightened by having loss in different areas.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

People might think that this set of investors doesn't exist, but I can confirm that there are people that are addicted to Ponzi scheme investors. Regardless of how much they lose, immediately they see another Ponzi firm they will still put their funds. They are impatient people that want to make a profit without any stress or delay. I have a friend that dislikes investing in Bitcoin because he thinks it is a waste of time. He prefers investing in businesses that promise large profit within a short time.

Lol this just reminds me of a friend I have, he's just so addicted to Ponzi schemes that he sees it as the only way that'll make him rich, regardless being duped and scammed several times, when asked why he was still very persistent, he'd always say, the times he lost money wasn't his time and that his time will surely come and he'll hit it big through the Ponzi schemes.

He was the person that introduced me to Ponzi, that was when I started looking for ways to make money online, then I wasn't quite familiar with Bitcoin. It only took me two experiences of loosing my money to realize this was a total bullshit and I started sorting for other ways and that was how I learnt about bitcoin.

This dude has even device techniques of following the Ponzi, deep down he knows they're all scams but he has also devices means to cash out from them, he'd always look for new and fresh Ponzi schemes and then invest his money because he believes whoever invests in the earliest stages of the project wouldnt loose money, and funny enough it always works for him, he makes good money from them but it's a very risky venture and that's a risk I can't afford to take.

In order to trade, you need to have certain knowledge and skills, as well as the character and ability to maintain financial discipline. Not everyone has these qualities. Personally, I like holding more than trading, so I try to study projects thoroughly before investing in them

I tried hold and trading, and I see that holding can bring the best result, but it’s worth clarifying that I only buy Bitcoin for investment, this is the only coin in which I am ready to invest. I tried trading both Bitcoin and altcoins, but in any case, hold brings the best profit, so I don’t see the point in studying any other projects. I see that some projects are growing faster than Bitcoin, but I doubt that I can find the right one, but with Bitcoin everything is simple, you buy and hold.

[BRINIRHA]

There are only two types of investors, retail investors and sharks.

People we found in bitcointalk are mostly will be retail investors because we are talking about in thousands when it comes to investments either its related to crypto or any other assets while sharks got the capital which gives them an edge to make money a lot faster than a retail investor.

But I think in this forum there are also big investors (whales/sharks) or whatever. But the majority of users here seem to be retail investors. But OP here is only asking about what level we are currently at as investors. Maybe shark investors can be interpreted as rich investors if adjusted to OP's language. And I don't think I belong there yet. Because I still invest with limited capital and can only pay in installments gradually from the profits from the business I own with my husband. Maybe it could be said to be a research investor if adjusted to OP's language. Because I do a lot of analysis before investing in anything. Especially with crypto, of course you have to be more careful because of the high risk. I hope one day I can become a rich investor (Sharks/Whales).

Everyone really needs to do research on every job they want to start, because without knowing about the depth or ins and outs that exist in each coin or cryptocurrency in general, it will certainly be very difficult for traders to choose the best cryptocurrency to trade with them in the market. Because traders also need to choose cryptocurrencies very carefully so as not to get stuck with shitcoins that are less useful in the market.

Also we should avoid most things in trading like we have to do trading with full confidence in order to get out of the pressure of loss. Mostly users got frightened by having loss in different areas.

Those who are afraid of losing in various areas are people who may not understand the risks in trading and may be wrong in choosing the coins they trade in the market. Apart from that, it could also be because they don't have spare capital when trading so that is the only capital they use for trading so they are more easily afraid and panic when they experience losses in various areas.

[Doan9269]

There are only two types of investors, retail investors and sharks.

We can belong to either of these category by the way we have invested on bitcoin, if we are rather a whale or a rayfish bitcoin holder otherwise known as retail bitcoiner.

People we found in bitcointalk are mostly will be retail investors because we are talking about in thousands when it comes to investments either its related to crypto or any other assets while sharks got the capital which gives them an edge to make money a lot faster than a retail investor.

Considering this is bitcointalk, the official platform for bitcoin discussions, you should expect the majority of the bitcoin holders here to be whales with the combination of other retail holders, if the whales does not exist here, where else could they have existed than bitcoin forum, you cannot know the real identity of every bitcoiners here, that's why privacy is very important.

Bitcointalk is the forum launched by the satoshi and lot of OGs and developers were here engaging in the development of bitcointalk so does the early investors who could be whales now if they still actually be holding the bitcoins they bought. But talking about the active members engaging no, I bet they can't be sharks with very rare exceptions.

[Kaliandra]

It's a bit difficult for me to answer all of this, but what is clear is that I am an investor in crypto, but of course as an investor I am ready for the risks posed by crypto. and in my opinion it is rare for investors to always make a profit, because there are times when losses always occur. but what is clear is that I am not the type of person who doesn't dare to try because in my opinion, by daring to try, we will definitely gain extensive experience and insight, but in the process of experimenting, start small first so that the risk is not too big and of course learn from experience and always don't give up when facing obstacles and obstacles. So in my opinion everything also contains a lot of risks so basically there are advantages and disadvantages.

it seems like the right one for me is, I'm an investor in crypto and someone who always trades in crypto. and I really enjoy the profits from investing in crypto, but I am also ready to experience losses from investing in crypto and trading in crypto.
Yes, but of course everyone has their own reasons.

and I also only invest and trade from my own money, not given capital by anyone. and of course every human being has a different story.
but of course I am
not a researcher investor
not a new investor.

Every investor must at least have the type of research investor, because the first thing that must be done before investing is research. because without this our investment has no targets and goals.

What's more important for investors, apart from research, is that the opportunity for low prices can be exploited, but they must be prepared for risks in the future, or even forget it, that's why we need to always use non-principal money when investing, and last but not least, we have to be mentally strong.

[bounceback]

I have experienced with all kinds class investor start from new investor, ponzi scheme investor until become the wealthy trader, before become investor of cryptocurrency I have invested before in scheme ponzi business with promising reward return in daily day around 2% until have ponzi investment return 10% in daily day. I learned with many kinds of investment class before consistent with investor of cryptocurrency and get more benefic than ponzi investment.
Beginner need more education to choose which one class of an investor in the future, but many kinds of ponzi investment make new investor interested to invest there and they less knowledge how bad with ponzi investment class.

[passwordnow]

I guess that many of us here became the Ponzi investor before we even knew that this scheme was a scam. And then from there, we started to become the research type of investor to make sure that mistake won't happen again. We don't wanna be a victim of the same scams that we've encountered before.

Beginner need more education to choose which one class of an investor in the future, but many kinds of ponzi investment make new investor interested to invest there and they less knowledge how bad with ponzi investment class.

And that's why they need to know more about the classic investments and the classic scams that are into existence. Because if they don't do, they'll fall for the same scam schemes again and again. But to remember, one time of being scammed is a lesson but second and more is being stupid and ignorant.

Buying only bitcoin is better options as there is no other coin that is competent with bitcoin. Some altcoins can perform better than bitcoin but bitcoin attained that higher value which no other coin can ever bring off. Bitcoin is not a good option for short term trading therefore one should keep it for years to find out maximum return.

Holding can keep down your daunting behaviour and also as longer you Hold the more will be the value of your asset at the time of selling. Annually bitcoin attained maximum value so previous investor will have greater profit in contrast with newbies as newbies are buying bitcoin at higher worth because it is increasing more and more.

And actually what is very worrying is that for a long time the creators of Ponzi scheme investments were those who were most active and enthusiastic in promoting their investments. So it is not surprising that many beginners fall into Ponzi investments. Some of them realize it before the money runs out and there are also those who realize it after the money runs out. But it is true that there are also many beginners who have mature experience after they enter a Ponzi scheme and realize that they have entered the wrong area and they learn from it and no longer make mistakes. Because they become more careful and start to become investors who always do research first.

Even though I don't have much experience with Ponzi scheme investments, I have learned a lot from other people's experiences. So I can avoid it until now. And actually being a careful person doesn't always mean you can avoid risks. But we can minimize the risk.

What you said is true, and I agree with that, honestly speaking. As for me, when I do day trading activity, I focus more on other crypto and meme coins that are on the top listing in the market, to be honest.

And in fairness, I get more profit here than on Bitcoin. Maybe we each have our own niche. I'm not saying that Bitcoin is not good for getting profit; that's not my point. My only point is that wherever you are and you know you are making a profit, that is where you should stick and develop it well.

The researcher investor

Number 3....do you know why? Because I want to maximize every potential through the research I or others conduct with my full power. Moreover, thinking before acting at least prevents us from relying too much on luck, like gambling. So, investment is an investment, and it really bears the fruit of thoughtful consideration, even though the outcome might fail or succeed.

I'm a bit skeptical about number 2... is it really a Ponzi scheme, which is considered bad by many people? I'm pretty sure that's not the type of true investor worth acknowledging.

As for option number four, I believe only a few people would choose this to boast about being "rich." This option is full of arrogance in its explanation as well, so anyone who chooses this option should be able to prove that their wealth is valid. Even true wealthy individuals seem not to consider themselves rich and knowledgeable because there is always another sky above and more stars.

Well, it's true; we have our own ways of earning through trading or investing. You, for example, are a short-term investor or trader. As we know, meme coins are not for trade because, from the name itself, "meme," they are created from a meme. It's good that you could take advantage of that coin, as it is too risky and tends to drop immediately. I myself can be considered a "researcher investor," as even if I have years of experience in trading, I still always do research and study the market or different coins. As we know, cryptocurrency or crypto trading is unpredictable, and there is no definite pattern. I also do some altcoins and meme coins, as well as shitcoins, as these coins can be used to earn a daily profit as I trade bitcoin, but it's a long-term trade or long-term investment, so I think it's not bad to trade in these coins, but bear in mind the risk involved.

if categorized by capital then I am a new investor, I don't have too much capital, just maybe hundreds of dollars to turn that money into more money.
hope someday i can go to wealthy trader.

Yes. To understand Ponzi schemes, we don't need to experience it because we can learn it from other people's experience. Although scammers will always have new ways to scam people but we can know the common indications (signs) of Ponzi schemes at least. So, we can be more careful and try to avoid investing in the projects that have the indications of Ponzi schemes. We actually can invest in a safe way if we choose reputable/trusted projects only. As far as I know, most Ponzi schemes come from the new projects.

It is okay if you don't have much funds now, you can invest in higher funds later. When you get profits from your current investment, you can invest in bigger money in your new investment in the future.

It's indeed a wise and cautious strategy to understand Ponzi schemes by learning from others' experiences and be aware of common indications. Indeed, there are recurring signs that can serve as red flags for potential Ponzi schemes, and being informed about these indicators can help investors make more prudent decisions. Easy and big profit is one of the indicators to be cautious, because common sense says nothing is easy when it comes to big money.

The emphasis on avoiding investments in projects displaying signs of Ponzi schemes demonstrates a proactive protection of people's financial interests. Choosing reputable and trusted projects is a key aspect of responsible investing, and it aligns with the principle of mitigating risks. It's notable that many Ponzi schemes tend to emerge from new projects. New projects may lack the established track record and credibility that more established ones possess. This doesn't necessarily mean that all new projects are fraudulent, but it underscores the importance of thorough due diligence and careful consideration before investing in unfamiliar ventures. By staying informed and exercising caution, investors can significantly reduce the likelihood of falling victim to Ponzi schemes.

Awareness isnt enough in today's uncertain market. We must be financial detectives, investigating every aspect. High returns, low risk? Alarm bells should sound. Its about knowing the orchard, not simply avoiding poor apples. We must grasp market dynamics, economic fluctuations, and investment prospects. In the jungle, we must be the smartest predators, not prey.

New projects are risky, yet creativity drives development. We shouldnt avoid new ventures—they can be lucrative. But, and this is a major but, we must analyze and be skeptical. Its about separating fact from hype. We monitor our financial destiny, not just invest. We use due diligence, critical analysis, and skepticism. We can utilize it to prevent Ponzi schemes and locate rare, genuine possibilities to improve our financial portfolio.

Agree on what you have said on which you should really be that versatile and you should really know on what are the things that are needed to be done for you to be able to have a good grasps and awareness
on how this market moves and behaves. Yes, there would really be having different variations and types.In speakingon what kind of investor are you then it would really be that could be changed up
basing on the experience and knowledge that you are really that gaining or getting because there are ones who do really just simply stick on a certain type and  there are ones who are really that
trying out to make themselves to be that multi-knowledgeable on things. In overall, we do all share on the same target or goal which is to make profits in the end of the line.
Doesnt matter on what type of method you've been using and following on which as long you are really that finding yourself that effective then you would really be just simply be following
it.We do have our own ways and methods on how we do handle ourselves because surviving this market is never been that simple.

If we are going to hold Bitcoin, I think we should still have another source of income. Of course, while we are waiting for the bull run, we still need to find a way to earn another way of making money. Because apart from holdings, we can do day trading here in the crypto space.

Apart from that, we should also study the things to know here in the crypto space. That's why the development of cryptocurrencies is also important, because if we see that they have potential, it's also a good opportunity for us, to be honest. Because this is also one of the things that can give us profit in the end if we choose the right crypto investment.

[|MINER|]

I consider myself a new investor for now.  Because I don't have much money to invest, and I'm not that expert.  Also I have some researcher investor traits in me. I like to do a lot of thinking and research before investing anywhere. And I think everyone should invest knowing where they are investing and how much security there is. I think limited profit is better than big loss.  .But I would also say that you shouldn't think so much about anything that you won't be able to invest later.

[0t3p0t]

I think I belong to the third category because I have learned from the past mistakes. Before diving deep into something, specially the one that we want to take the risk for the money we had, then we really need some ideas or knowledge. This is all about our assets so making mistakes means a suicide.

[Inwestour]

Of course, we all have a business or job with which we can earn significantly more than is possible on the forum, this is a kind of hobby that gives us some opportunity to earn money, but no more. Perhaps for some individual users this is the main source of income, but the majority will form their portfolios with the help of their finances, which we receive outside the forum and this is normal. BTT is just one way to get some Bitcoin and if there is such an opportunity, then why not take advantage of it?

[teamsherry]

Right now I don’t think I belong to any category but I will try my best to be in one it a good idea though

[Bushdark]

Considering this is bitcointalk, the official platform for bitcoin discussions, you should expect the majority of the bitcoin holders here to be whales

Bitcointalk is the forum launched by the satoshi and lot of OGs and developers were here engaging in the development of bitcointalk so does the early investors who could be whales now if they still actually be holding the bitcoins they bought. But talking about the active members engaging no, I bet they can't be sharks with very rare exceptions.

There are many whales in the market including here and outside here. Actually we can't know those who are whales and who are not since we don't know how much they have in their wallets. Bitcoin is decentralized so it would be very hard to know who owns a particular wallet and who does not since it is not attached to an exchange where individual identification would be known. There might be more whales here that the outside Market but there is no way we can actually know that.

We can guess that there are more whales in the forum than outside the forum, bitcointalk is an official forum that discusses all about cryptocurrency and other related matters so it is certain that whales really need valid information from official sources, so I am sure there are many whales here even though they are not active members but hunting for crypto information that they really need to hunt for profits from trading or investing.

[Casdinyard]

Any type of investor’s just as good as the next (obviously besides the ponzi magnet guy), cause what you do when you invest into something monetary is not only wish about getting rich, but strive to earn a much comfortable future than the one you have right now by making your money work for you. So perhaps worry less about which type of investor you are (so long as you’re not getting into any shady schemes which involves getting rich or all that shit cause let’s face it, even bitcoin doesn’t promise that much from way back then). So yeah, just go for it and invest in whatever you think suits you best. Keep in mind that it’s your money and future that you’re banking on.

OP, I am a researcher investor, I think fall in that category because, before I conclude in other to invest in any commodity or business, I will have to make a comprehensive findings before I divide on what to do, am not being doubtful that when you research much about something, you might end not investing as you said, but op are trying to convince me that is not good to make versed research about an investment before finally investing in it, investment is not a joke, so for you to invest you have to investigate to know the authenticity of your investment so that you will not be a victim of fraud.

[elwinsmith]

I am a researcher investor, Research-driven investments are often geared towards long-term success.

[retreat]

I might be in the research investor class, because I'm a typical person who doesn't easily believe in something and has to find out first about an instrument before investing in it. Because I think that even though the value of my investment is not very large, I have to find out thoroughly about the investment instrument that I want to invest in, because how can I expect a profit when I don't know the investment instrument myself. And therefore finding out the various information needed for an investment instrument is necessary so that I can minimize potential losses from my investment.

Usually, novice investors who do not have much capital, especially online investors, will usually enter the ponzy world of investment. 100 percent of novice investors in the online world must have plunged into the world of ponzy investment. because the registration system is easy fast and can be started from very small capital but can generate a lot of profit from the referral commission that i get.

[Shyla1]

I think I will go with the third one being the researcher investor there is absolutely no reason to invest without proper research so as to ensure profit and avoid maximum loss.

Beginner investors usually have a pattern like you said, with small capital hoping to get bigger profits. Actually, this also happened to me when I first got to know crypto, but now I am starting to learn from my mistakes and turn them into experience. For me, I am a research investor, because I prioritize my own research, analysis and that is the most important thing in investing. If it goes down, don't panic and force sell, even after researching it, it will actually increase your confidence in investing.

Apart from what you mentioned, there are mistakes that novice investors often make. Buying on a bandwagon, panic buying and panic selling, not diversifying, not knowing the fundamentals of the crypto you are buying and using hot money in investing.

Back to puloweh555 statement, novice investors don't join the Ponzi investment because of easy fast registration, they mainly join because of the earning benefit ROI.

This would be always the thing on the time that i do really make out some investment on a particular project on which you cant really just that make yourself
made out some hasty decisions just because you are really that eager on trying to make some profits on which we know that this is where carelessness would really be starting.

Sad to say or in reality i did really start into this path but on the time that i do hover myself into this place or into this forum
then it did really open up my eyes on the time that i have learnt up everything when it comes into those basic informations and other stuffs
on which it did really give out that kind of awareness and knowledge which it did really help out on my future decisions.

[ndutndut]

Previously I was an investor in a Ponzi scheme, but after getting to know this forum, I am an investor who prioritizes research.

because I am sure that when we decide to invest, our financial literacy will indirectly increase, of course in the right way. The analysis is important if it needs to be as detailed as possible and the most important thing is that the sources we get are trusted sources and we can analyze them independently, don't be easily carried away by what other people are doing, such as Influencers and so on.

Investing or trading is not easy, flying hours are what determines it. Starting from analysis to choosing crypto based on fundamental analysis, technical analysis including news/trends. Then the timing of when to enter crypto from technical analysis. And finally money management. Don't forget to maintain your psychological health when investing, price movements do not have to be monitored every day or all the time because this will affect our psychology.

Beginner investors who still need more experience and research in certain fields can also be trapped in Ponzi investments if these novice investors do not know what Ponzi investments are. Because if someone can be more easily tempted by ROI profits, of course they can also more easily experience traps in a bad direction, especially if this is already known by people who like to make ponzis and scams through any investment sector. So it is very important to understand it and get to know it well before novice investors actually invest like other people.

[batang_bitcoin]

I've been a victim of ponzi schemes in the past and that have taught me a lot of lesson on how to become a better investor and that's through researching. And that's where I am going to classify myself as a research investor. When someone approaches me and tells me of an unfamiliar investment, I won't dived in quickly with what's being shared to me. I'll do my own research before committing or passing to the person that have told me about what he'd found and if it's likely a scam, I'll give a warning.

These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

What class of an investor are you?

I'm more into these two. Sure, I've been in crypto for several years but it doesn't mean I'm that good yet, I still have so many things to learn with so many new and upcoming technologies in cryptocurrency world so I can say that I'm a new investor because that and also I don't really invest that much anymore due to how I limit myself for obvious reasons.

But I do really like research about new stuff and the coins I would like to invest before because of crucial your information is to determine the result of investment. So I'm also qualified for that.

It emphasizes that financial literacy is about context, comprehension, and critical thinking, not just numbers. True, analysis and depth matter. Independence should also be considered in this research. Be honest with yourself and dont let others influence you. Sometimes the mirror investor is the hardest to persuade.

You're right about investing being a skill that matures. Choose the right crypto, but also grasp why, how, and when. Your emphasis on basic and technical analysis is key. Money management and mental wellness underpin this arrangement. The market is unpredictable like the weather—prepare, adjust, but never think you control it. Continue working—the journey is as essential as the destination.

[Miles2006]

I can't really tell as a new investor but I have observed something in the investment world and seeing a lot of people making same mistake tells a lot about an investment especially the crypto sector, an investor that always love learning will make profit like investors who make research before investing. Some will always say don't get nervous with your investment but this is just natural for newbies, just imagine trying something new for the first time and it has to do with money.
Those investors who always make research before investing will not be a victim of ponzi scheme, for now I will stick to learning and knowing more about an investing before investing

Dear, I have seen many people losing money because they have no strong plan before starting a business and they just invest on saying of other people without any research and they themselves don't have strong plans or research on the business they are going to start.

In my case, it is very important to have good research and plans before starting any business because in case if your business gets not successful there should be another plan B. Another thing is that if you really know this business can give you a big amount of profit try to change your strategy not the idea of the business you started because in the end strategy does matter because if your strategy is not you will obviously lose your investment and if you have a good strategy you will obviously earn a good amount of money. That's All Dear!

[Churchillvv]

Although I fall under the first class which is new investors but I disagree with the description because as a new investors most my investment aren't from the help or contribution of family and friends there all my efforts but from what you're tryna explain I know what you meant but you should have elaborated a little bit than summarize with the one line of family and friends contributing to your small business.

Additionally, I believe I'm also part of the ponzi scheme investor because prior to be knowledge in Bitcoin and the crypto space at large I usually think of making little investments that can hold for a few years and become so rich as the early investors in Bitcoin and I guess most of us here was driven by this motive too.

[YOSHIE]

What class of an investor are you?

Currently, I am not one of the people who boosts the global or domestic economy, as you mentioned, investors, Maybe in the next few years, who knows, I might join one of those who are making the economy prosperous, be it a company or a country, for now there is no level at which I can be called an investor.

However, if you say that, you can say that at the moment I am only an investor for myself in the crypto sector, maybe that is what I can develop at the moment, there is no company that I can invest capital in yet, I can only make long-term investments in crypto at my personal level.

[sokani]

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

People might think that this set of investors doesn't exist, but I can confirm that there are people that are addicted to Ponzi scheme investors. Regardless of how much they lose, immediately they see another Ponzi firm they will still put their funds. They are impatient people that want to make a profit without any stress or delay. I have a friend that dislikes investing in Bitcoin because he thinks it is a waste of time. He prefers investing in businesses that promise large profit within a short time.

This reminds me of someone very close to me. Dude is a fan of ponzi and the painful thing is he never learns. He was a victim of MMM and MBA ponzi scam. Recently, during our discussion he told me about an investment opportunity, and he wanted to invest $1500. I tried convincing him not to invest, to buy bitcoin and hodl, that was when Bitcoin was 25k. Dude didn't listen, the last time I brought up the conversation, he couldn't say anything, I've a feeling he's been scammed again.

[leonair]

By your definition, I would say I’m a “research investor”, I think you have to first be under the third category before you can work your way up the ladder to be a “wealthy trader”. It’s okay to be skeptical about new investments, even though skepticism may cost you some investments that may turn out to be successful, I believe it’s better to play safe than be sorry. These kind of investors do not fall prey to scams and are very industrious with their money.

I am almost like you in that before I invest somewhere I try to do a lot of research and investigation to see how much risk there is and how much profit I can get from investing there.  Investment is not an easy thing it is a very creative thing if you don't invest in the right place then instead of getting any return you will lose your investment.  So the next step for a person who can manage his own investment fund is to research the investment topic.

I also once reminded someone who went too deep into the ponzi business, but in the end was not listened to.
People with this disposition and too idolizing Ponzi schemes will never stop.
They will only look for other ponzi businesses when the business they are participating in now is scam and deceives many people.

They are only concerned with their own profits, not with the losses of people who are drawn into the business of ponzi, MLM etc.

Like the person you are talking about, he may be cheated again with a ponzi business, he will never stop despite the loss.
$1500 is a large amount, much more promising investment than relying solely on ponzi businesses etc.
As in Bitcoin crypto investment which is more certain and provides benefits for who buys and holds it.

I agree that there are those types of investors who classify themselves as angel investors, venture capitalist,¹ etc. But before they become all of these types of investors, from my own perspective, I have put them into some classes. It is not an exhaustive or an elaborative list but at least, you get the idea of where I am driving at.

I would say that im this kind of type of investor on which making up some research first before diving in into this venture. Somewhat this should really be that a standard thing
on which it is really just that right that you should really be that making that research first before you would really be making out such step and not really just that making
yourself that being too careless on making up such decision without having those kind of considerations in speaking about investment on where it is really
just that right that you should really that know on what you are really that doing.

Dont be hasty on decisions that you are making because when you do miss out such information or simply being that driven with some hype and then it do
really ends up on being a mess then you would really be finding yourself on such big trouble on the time that it would happen.
This is why you should really be that sensible on doing things.

Research is most important thing because if you don't search anything regarding your investment field then there is a possibility that your investment will not give you anything in return due to unawareness as well as lack of knowledge. Research is good way of selection but search on time because some people are searching for months due to which they miss the opportunity of investment.

For investment a property management system and abilities to handle all right and wrong situations is very important. Investment does not means that put money then your money will be multiplying but you have to use your knowledge to reduces risk because in every investment there exists risks which should be reduce with right thoughts.

From what you said, I think I'm the researcher investor, I see myself here and I often search but I can't follow through with my plan when I invest maybe I'm afraid that it might fail so I do all the research before I really invest. It's not bad to double check, right, because we're not in a hurry when investing, it's okay to be slow as long as we're sure.

It's not bad to double check, right, because we're not in a hurry when investing, it's okay to be slow as long as we're sure.

Your choices are also the same as mine as a research investor. Because for me there is no magic in trading. The main secret of trading is to have a very strong and reliable strategy. That's why I choose before trading, I do my own research first, not necessarily using the results of my own research, but also combining the research of other people who are experts, then I make trading decisions.

Because by doing research we understand crypto, we can also understand its fundamentals well so that we can take advantage of opportunities well. So trading using research is the wisest trading of all the points conveyed by the OP.

[STT]

I tend to overthink things so I would classify my involvement as sometimes negative in waiting too long and timing a trade badly.  Be involved dont over think it but also be cautious in your approach selling is ok too.

if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

So my frame of reference is remembering my first encounter with Bitcoin.    Before I started mining Bitcoin I saw it a few times over the years and never got involved seriously, maybe I can call the mistake not investing enough time and thought to the concept and if I had I would have reached the conclusion sooner.   I wont go over that mistake continually but suffice to say I did eventually decide to be involved years after I could have first started holding BTC as a very new idea reading about it on a Tech forum I was too skeptical by far.
   However more usefully I would say in regards to the future again the world will change alot and peoples attitudes to various assets should be active and well considered, not just once but many times to adjust for all you dont know and just generally how the world will change in future.  We will all do better with an open mind and challenge our first beliefs on any valid investment etc.

im more of an cool headed and patient trader myself, not gonna invest if its already too high also only investing if its already low enough otherwise i would find opportunity in other coin if i think that the investment is not worth it.
maybe thats a bit of a stretch but being cool headed in decision making of trading cryptocurrency does indeed make everything easier after all we gonna get the best entry there is by waiting the price to dump and also will definitely enjoy the good profit from that, simply wait and we're already in profit.

its always the newbie that are too greedy that got trapped into following and investing ponzi its always them, because they want to be rich overnight i think the main motivation they wanna trade in the first place is probably due to the fact that influencers that have made millionsn influence them into thinking that they can become rich overnight which isn't true, money follows knowledge.
if our knowledge is insufficient even if we have big capital to start with it will only incur losses.

scam will always presence in every field there's always someone that have evil heart to do the scamming but we as an individual should also know that before dealing with anything we should be making some research, reading about the advice of the other people to know to differentiate whether a scam or a real deal.
i think its common sense but it might not be common sense for people that are newbie that get into the crypto currency market just because they want to flip their measly money into something worth of millions.
these scammers though always take advantage of greed, offering massive APY, even giving promise that their coin will be as big as bitcoin and so on and by the time it reaches that valuatione veryone investing now will be as rich as warren buffet but we veterans know that its bs since money need to come from somewhere.

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

Usually this kind of person does not have complete experience and knowledge and they only support our steps in investment because based on the emotional closeness of kinship and family, most of them do not understand how to run investment.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

Knowledge will have an impact on someone in determining attitudes even though it is not uncommon for the ponzi scheme to also occur to people who have knowledge. Furthermore, thinking quickly rich with small capital so that it is trapped by the ponzi system offered by others and their biggest mistakes are unable to see the truth based on the knowledge they have.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

Investors like this are more specific and most of them do not trust anyone before the belief to examine getting answers. This kind of investor is more careful in determining attitudes and they will not be careless in determining investment choices. Only a few people may be in this category and they actually better understand investment not only talking about strength, but how to generate profits in the short term with any coin method they examine.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

It is not easy to get wealth with unstable financial structures because we cannot reach the wealth stage just by relying on small capital. At present money has a big enough role to reach the stage of wealth and even though we need skills when we are in investment. Besides being knowledgeable, experienced and demonstrating expertise, money is the basis of what we want to achieve.

Yes, You raised a good point here, I have heard many people lose their funds due to taking action on famous groups or influencers sayings which is surely not a good recommendation in my opinion. In case anyone is following any influencers or groups they should verify their sayings before taking action because Influencer or groups may change their statements or comments after the news they share prove oppoiste. So my recomendation is that always do your own research before taking any action on other sayings because it your funds your risk.

Even, i have example of my friend who sold his some assets due to taking action on groups shared news in telegram but makret goes more up but the news in group was market is going down in some time well, my friend still feel bad why did he took action on saying on that rubbish telegram group.

Which one do you think made most of the money? Number 4 has the higher chance of making money if learn about number 3 properly. You are wealthier or not but you need to do proper research about a project risking your money into it. If only wealth is your skill then it won't take too long to rekt in this industry. Being a number 3 trader is also quit hard because you will need knowledge alongside with experience. Only having one won't work. Both of them are essential.

According to my research, 90% of all newbies are victims of Ponzi investment especially the cloud mining investment which is also another trapped scamming activity.
Yes, right when you said it is important to understand how the Ponzi team works since they always come up with different scam strategies one after the other.

Most beginners get caught up in Ponzi investments or cloud mining because they still can't differentiate between genuine investments and scam investments that are generally offered by other people. In fact, the original investment is an investment made by themselves and well guarded by themselves, not by other people because the money will always have the potential to be taken away by the Ponzi makers. So it is important for beginners to understand investment and differentiate it through correct and appropriate education before they use capital for correct investment purposes and not just ponzi or cloud mining.

[sekalitas]

I agree that there are those types of investors who classify themselves as angel investors, venture capitalist,¹ etc. But before they become all of these types of investors, from my own perspective, I have put them into some classes. It is not an exhaustive or an elaborative list but at least, you get the idea of where I am driving at.

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

What class of an investor are you?

I believe I'm the researcher investor due to the high risk involved in cryptocurrency, which makes me feel unsafe unless I thoroughly research before investing. You see, in crypto, we can lose all of our wealth in a matter of minutes. In fact, during my first month of learning about crypto, I invested in ponzi scams a few times. However, I only engaged in it for a few days at most, managing to profit from it while it was still legit.

[BD Technical]

I haven't become a big investor yet, I'm still small because I invest little by little and sell little by little because I haven't been able to take such big ricks yet.  Because now I couldn't become a big entrepreneur because my money is very less because if I don't have value then how will I invest and besides I don't have that much idea about the market I am slowly getting ideas and taking the help of adults to see how much I can do.  Moreover, there are currently many investors who are getting caught even though they understand a lot, I am not going to get caught to that extent.  Because my money is less because if there is no money then how will I invest in that case I am buying some new tokens which are bought from Binance.  Because I trust Binance a little more.

If you yourself are still making a profit from a wrong investment, it means that you are not considered a victim of that investment even though you have already entered into it. Because when you are still able to get out of it with a level of profit, it is not a loss for you even if in the future you no longer enter into it and prefer something more appropriate for your next investment. And now you yourself can see which investments are good and which are not so you don't need to worry anymore about Ponzi fraud because you also know the characteristics.

This is the importance of being a research investor before investing, at least we know which investments are fundamental and which are Ponzi. Indeed, many investors invest in ponzis to get bigger profits because ponzis usually have moments where they have to know when to enter and when to exit.

However, as the saying goes, "As clever as a squirrel jumps, it will eventually fall." Likewise with Ponzi, no matter how clever we are in seeking profits from Ponzi, in the end we will also experience losses. So it's better, even though we already know the characteristics of Ponzi, it's better for us to stay away from it and not approach it.

[Bigsharp]

I think in my situation I would say new investor tho I had bitcoin around 2020 2021 but it wasn’t for an investment was buying and selling never knew bitcoin will become hot cake that will make everybody rich if one invest  in it

If then I was buying those bitcoin I hold till now I guess i would increase my investment reputation by 10x but now am still studying how bitcoin investment works

As of 2020 I only know about luno wallet but now I know about other exchanges wallet like binance and yellow card etc

[Troytech]

I guess I fall into the research investor, I love taking my time to read about what I want to invest in, I'm not really into trading I find it too risky for me expecially now I'm allocation much into bitcoin using DCA, maybe when I've reached quite the portfolio I might think of other thighs like diversifying but not Into alts, I think bitcoin is enough for me, I'll use my profits to invest in real estate or maybe if its huge enough I buy shares from a big company or just invest more in bitcoin 😅.

[Negotiation]

An investor is a person who invests capital with the expectation of achieving future financial gains or benefits. Most of the time investors buy property with this invested capital. Someone with a higher risk tolerance would probably invest in more aggressive options, with higher return potential of which bitcoin would yield better returns but investment patterns vary from person to person. Some like real estate and some like trading. But in my opinion bitcoin investment is not affected by anything good bitcoin.

Same here! I am an overthinker and I am always worried of things that may go wrong. I tend to plan things I have to do in my head in order to not get lost. Especially with money. I am very tight with money and I normally do not spend it carelessly. I have to budget my money down to the last coin or else I feel like I would not have any control.

That is why I prefer long-term holding instead of trading. Because it would absolutely drive me insane to constantly think of when to buy or when to sell. I fear I might make some mistakes. Ultimately, I am scared to invest in the wrong coin. With so many altcoins popping out, it won’t hurt to take an extra step and research as deep as you can.

[Claudeake]

Well, without mincing words, I unequivocally belong to the reseacher investor. As part of my inclination in life, I usually make through investigation into an advertised investment before I take a final decision.
So, when the issue of the Bitcoin transactions come on board, I used about three years to investigate the concern. Though, I consider it nice, because contemporary global capitalism requires such a venture to compliment universally accepted currencies of nations mostly especially the American dollars.
Now, I have accepted to participate in the Bitcoin transactions in all ramifications, so right now im always contributing my intellectual quota on to the forum.

[Unbunplease]

It is difficult for me to actively trade on the market, so I am a "HODLER" type of investor. Before investing, I try to conduct my own DYOR, well, and try to listen to my own intuition. I also try to determine to what price I will hold certain coins (it is very important, otherwise you can turn into a perpetual hodler)

That's right, of course every investor will dare to invest their capital to be able to gain profits from what they have invested and before they invest of course they have carried out in-depth research about what they will invest in so that they can prepare themselves in carrying out the investment they make and it will be easier to overcome possible problems in carrying out investments.
Those who dare to take bigger risks certainly have a good understanding of the profit process they will get so they decide to spend more of their capital for the profits they will get.

For investment in Crypto, this is not the case.
There is no coin that can see its development and then expect profits to come, but all investments are full of risk because the possibility of making a profit is very large so it is worth it.
And for people who invest in Crypto of course they have learned a lot beforehand and that does not guarantee the profits they will get.

I have seen many cases of investors experiencing large losses on their crypto investments and vice versa, so I can conclude that this is an investment that is full of risk and the level depends on individual wishes.

If our investment class is measured then I can say that everyone who has made a profit will continue to improve their class to increase their investment because it all comes back to their desire to make a profit.

The biggest problem, at first is that people who want to invest in bitcoin or cryptocurrency think that investment means a lot of profit and from here it is possible to make a lot of profit very quickly. The other biggest problem at first is that people who want to invest in bitcoin or cryptocurrency, think that investment means a lot of profit and from here it is possible to make a lot of profit very quickly but the thing is wrong. If you invest properly now, your chances of losing are very low and your chances of profit are very high.

[blckhawk]

What category would my kind of investor fall into? I do DCA and continue to hodl my bitcoins and many other altcoins and I sustain myself just fine with the use of my salary for my job, I make sure that I'm up to date when it comes to the price of the crypto that I'm invested into. I don't think I fall into OP's types of investors and I think that it's lacking the normal kind of investor, those that are doing fine and their investment journey is practically smooth sailing.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

         -   Maybe I will categorize myself into new investors and researcher investors. Because every time an opportunity comes my way, I think I'm just a beginner. And as a newbie, I should just find out or research what I'm going to invest in first.

This is an important thing to do because we know that Bitcoin, or cryptocurrency, is very volatile in this field. And besides, there are also many ways for us to determine legit or potential cryptocurrency.

[leonair]

Going by what you explained here, there is no investing category fitting my style and status other than the new investor. I don't engage in Ponzi, I don't have such a big money to invest and I don't have such patience and money for the research that will fetch me later money. All I have money for is the investment that will give me the opportunity to make little money by buying shares in other companies. It is a little share, must not be big, it's a means to secure the future, so better than doing nothing.

Yes i am almost same to you But I can also consider myself as a researcher investor because I always do a good research myself before investing.  A lot of investment advice can be taken from family members, friends or the internet, but before investing, it is important to do your own research.  Because if you don't do your own research, you can never predict your results with confidence. But on the other hand you can't find the direction to research and make a potential decision without the advice of others

Investing in cryptocurrencies first requires you to be patient and control your greed. People who think that they can make a lot of profit quickly after investing are completely wrong. There is no guarantee that the investment will always be profitable. That's why we have profit and loss before investing.  These two should be accepted and invested.

There is no guarantee that the investment will always be profitable. That's why we have profit and loss before investing.  These two should be accepted and invested.

Profits and losses through investment are quite normal things and must be truly understood by everyone who has become an investor or wants to become an investor in cryptocurrencies. Because in any job, every risk must be understood from the start so that we can be prepared for whatever happens to us while we are doing it. So this is something that must be understood very well if we want to control ourselves from greed and the desire to make profits more quickly, because all of this has to go through a maximum process and can even be very long.

Investment is a good thing and is also quite well known among many people because the choices are very varied. We can see more crypto investors and also real estate investors who are always increasing every year with the aim of getting bigger profits. But on the one hand, we also need to see how prepared they are to do this now because someone might not want to become an investor if they still don't have the readiness, such as mental and financial maturity, to be more mature in their life.

[harapan]

By your definition, I would say I’m a “research investor”, I think you have to first be under the third category before you can work your way up the ladder to be a “wealthy trader”. It’s okay to be skeptical about new investments, even though skepticism may cost you some investments that may turn out to be successful, I believe it’s better to play safe than be sorry. These kind of investors do not fall prey to scams and are very industrious with their money.

There's a saying that knowledge is profitable for all,and to direct.
  So long as I know what I want and where I'm going to,I'm definitely not going to scammed in anyway trying to invest in bitcoin.Because it takes so much efforts and time to carefully and decisively draft a good investment option for myself before undergoing the exercise,because investing always comes with big risk to handle.That's why its Advisable to research thoroughly and wisely before committing and handing over funds.

I think you can fall into the researcher investor because you sound like you know what you are doing but except on the last sentence of the OP's definition, because it is said that investors like this " can also end up not investing at all " but in your case, you already invested on BTC and on some altcoins. I am only curious if how long you have been doing this? If it's a long time already like a couple of years, then you can also fall on the wealthy trader, according on its definition.

I don't think we can call your status as a normal investor because the norm would be is that many people are fail about their investment or have failed to start it, but this category can also be added by the OP.

Research and knowledge are always needed in every job, including knowledge in research itself, meaning that when someone starts wanting to know something new at the expense of more time and money, of course the results will be very different and will also be clearer. Because if this is intended for investment in Bitcoin, of course this has become a pretty good choice based on a lot of research that has been carried out by other people and also by ourselves in an effort to find proof.

But under any circumstances, a good investment is not an investment that requires handing over money to someone else, but we will still use the money ourselves when we want to buy something or Bitcoin for investment purposes and can also store it properly in our own wallet. Because if investments require handing over our money to another party, it is more directed at a company such as real estate or a product that is already well-known so that the income can be clearer.

If I am allowed to judge the category of investor then I will not fall into the category of investor because I am not able to invest anything at the moment. I am brand new and have no investment in cryptocurrencies. If I had an investment, I would definitely put myself in the investment position. But I can never position myself in any other position as an investor except perhaps in what you consider new at first.

[STT]

I guess I fall into the research investor, I love taking my time to read about what I want to invest in, I'm not really into trading I find it too risky for me

I would say trend investment is the best, when the entire sector is on ascension its a good bet to take.   At this point if you are correct in profit margin expansion being probable you just have to pick the winners in that sector, that idea is much harder when times are tough.   Always research as much as a mortal man can, ultimately for the largest companies you are relying on others to do the leg work and report back honestly as is true of the company itself.  In some cases the company itself has not told the truth and had bullish shares because of it, its not so rare unfortunately.

Trading the low and high spots to markets pricing of a company even with the prior bias of investment is still possible but I would never do it 100% with something I wanted to keep longer term.

[BD Technical]

I'm never a rester later I'm small.  A trader because in finance I treat small tokens as small amounts in class.  Which we are right or my hands are wasted because I treat with understanding, I don't have the experience of doing big treats now or I don't want to take so much risk.  Risk sir is not actually strength because you have to take risk if you want to get something big, it is natural that you have to take some loss or you have to take some loss to get something big.
 I'm small to say medium quality no trade for clothes that runs or I'm not so big train if I invest small tokens in case my back comes in the name bought something light.  In that case, the price of Bitcoin is increasing, my profit is going on like this. How much will come in my future or how much I will plan is still out of my idea or if I want I can take more according to the market.

I am none of these three investors maybe because I start investing when I have money and stop investing when I don't have money. Currently I am continuing my investment only in Bitcoin and I have no intention of investing in other coins. I am a small investor who started my investment journey not too long ago but I am constantly investing in Bitcoin DCA method according to my ability. I have a dream you can call a wish that I will invest in Bitcoin and become a big investor one day maybe in the future.

Same here, I can't see myself or even a small trait of mine in the choices mentioned. Like you, I also only invest once I have an idea for something and of course if I have money to invest and BTC is the only investment I hold here in crypto, Others say that I need to diversify my investments which I hold but I prefer to stick to btc and the rest is in real estate.

You also don't make the mistake of just holding Bitcoin as a good investment for now even if you put the rest into real estate. Because everyone only needs to carry out the plans that are in their own minds without having to continue to consider other people's thoughts on anything. Apart from that, everyone can also see that Bitcoin is indeed a good choice for investment and also some real estate still needs to be considered if it can still bring profits to ourselves. So you also don't have to diversify your investments as long as what you do is an investment that is good enough.

My knowledge of the digital currency is very short. In the past six months ago a friend of mine told me about investing. And shared some tutorial videos. By which I can learn about investments and invest in profitable fields. Since then I have been in the maintenance and verification phase of my cryptocurrency investment. I haven't fully decided on the investment yet but hope to get involved soon. So from the type of investor you provided I feel like a research investor.

Everything related to cryptocurrencies needs to be researched first by ourselves before accepting the best suggestions and ideas from other people. And because there are so many cryptocurrencies now, you also need to look at some of the cryptocurrencies that are quite popular and have also received good marketcap rankings and are already on many large exchanges. You could also be lucky enough if after learning a lot about crypto you immediately want to make better investment plans and steps in the crypto currency you have researched.

You don't need to diversify your cryptocurrency investment if it's in Bitcoin as long as you are satisfied with it and okay with the waiting times and returns that it provides. Altcoins are risky, and one shouldn't invest in them for the long-term, however, if you are investing in altcoins, that is when you need to diversify your investment and shouldn't invest everything in just one altcoin because that can be risky for the investment.

If you have your funds invested in Bitcoin and real estate, you are doing good because you don't have it all in one place and that is what diversification is all about. So you shouldn't be worried about these things and focus on your investments as much as possible.

[Bd officer]

What class of an investor are you?

I don't invest to get quick profit from investment. I know that if I invest in Bitcoin I have to hold for a long time. I don't even do market research.

Yes, you are right and I am studying and learning about cryptocurrencies on my own. Sometimes I see a lot of hope and sometimes I fear the work because my capital is very little. I decided to invest my small capital in a few crazy coins instead of investing in any one crazy currency. Now let's see if luck helps or fails. Although I am a failure person in my personal life ‍and still I have strong hope that I will get good results even with my small investment this time.

[niall51]

I might be a research type of investor now because I have gone through Ponzi schemes and other types of investors because I have to learn from the past so as not to experience losses, do deeper research on what we want to buy and stay away from investments that we don't know what they are. we buy

There are many investors in the space but attaching to the profitable ones becomes challenging. Quick investment is never my plans, rather I'm more focused on long-term profits that would changed my life. It's not all about classes of investors you can found yourself, the big question that ought to pop out, are you making profits in the market? I'll choose better strategy to enable me stand strong enough in the market, I'll be shooting my targets and also implementing my strategies knowing fully well I've backup plans incase anything goes wrong.

As long as you use your own money and not money for other needs in your life, it is quite possible that you can succeed through your investment. Moreover, now I think everyone has also seen how the crypto market conditions are, which are quite suitable to be relied on as a place to invest in some of the best coins at the moment. So you don't need to be pessimistic as long as you are still able to try to get the best through the potential profits that you might get because currently nothing is impossible to get as long as the market is supportive enough.

It is difficult for me to actively trade on the market, so I am a "HODLER" type of investor.

Maybe we are the same, am always occupied, so am always having just little time to rest, I don’t always have to time to do any analysis if I want to trade, so to save myself from all those stress, I just buy and hold, and it has been working for me, the only time I do trade is whenever am having some free time, I can just deposit some amount of money into my trading account, and trade. But i will say am a holder.

Before investing, I try to conduct my own DYOR, well, and try to listen to my own intuition.

Even if you are a holder, you will have to do your research before investing in a coin, but the research is just completely different from people that are into trading. I am a holder, but I no longer do any research whenever am invested. The only coin I do invest in is bitcoin, I have done my research before, and I don’t have any research to make again, I don’t care about bitcoin price whenever am buying it, I do buy it at the current market price, since am holding for long term, so am not always worried.

I agree that there are those types of investors who classify themselves as angel investors, venture capitalist,¹ etc. But before they become all of these types of investors, from my own perspective, I have put them into some classes. It is not an exhaustive or an elaborative list but at least, you get the idea of where I am driving at.

Class of Investors to the best of my understanding

New Investor
These are friends and family members who are willing to contribute a small quantity of money to your company.

The Ponzi scheme Investor
One who invests in ponzi scams continuously is this. This is the person who thinks about get-rich-quick schemes.

The researcher investor
The researcher investor wants to conduct thorough investigation before deciding whether to invest.They might even decide against investing altogether since, if you wait to make a decision until you know everything, you might never invest.

The Wealthy Trader
This one has had a number of profitable investments over the years. They are knowledgeable, experienced, show expertise.

What class of an investor are you?

My knowledge of the digital currency is very short. In the past six months ago a friend of mine told me about investing. And shared some tutorial videos. By which I can learn about investments and invest in profitable fields. Since then I have been in the maintenance and verification phase of my cryptocurrency investment. I haven't fully decided on the investment yet but hope to get involved soon. So from the type of investor you provided I feel like a research investor.

You know me; even though I have been in the crypto industry for a long time, I still remain an individual researcher because every day there are new cryptos emerging in this business industry. Because of this type of industry, we must be able to feel what the trend will be, and we will ride or go along with it to get a good opportunity.

It's hard because you don't go along because for sure you can be left behind. It's like no different from influencers on social media platforms; they don't create content that doesn't have a trend; instead, most of them don't understand that every one of their content is always in trend, so it should be the same here in the crypto industry, because only a few of the old cryptos can be said to be good in the long term.

I might be a research type of investor now because I have gone through Ponzi schemes and other types of investors because I have to learn from the past so as not to experience losses

IMO, most of us here have became a research type investor. We also say DYOR and that's why researching before investing has been a must. I've also became a victim of ponzi but that's long time ago and I can't remember if it was before I've known crypto.

do deeper research on what we want to buy and stay away from investments that we don't know what they are. we buy

And don't invest in the schemes that you don't even know. They're making it like that the scam schemes and platforms sound good but upon researching, you'll figure out that they're bunch of scams.

I don't think traders are investors.

Traders are basically gamblers. Investors put their money into enterprises they believe in.

Traders are looking for a short-term profit. Investors are looking for long-term growth.

Me if am investing I would like to be a researcher investment because any thing that you don't have sufficient understand and knowledge about when you go into it failure is inevitable

Traders are basically gamblers. Investors put their money into enterprises they believe in.

Even though I'm not a trader, calling a trader a gambler seems like too much, especially when referring to a mid-term trader who can analyze charts over the next few days or weeks. Maybe this will still be like forcing luck because market manipulation really does exist, but the analysis carried out by some experts is sometimes right on target which makes some people believe that technical analysis is still valid for some coins under certain conditions... or what is most impossible is that it can also they (the most successful technical analysts) are the real market manipulators.

I don't know which possibility is true, I haven't been able to dive too deeply into the world of trading, whether short term or medium term. Honestly, I have never felt lucky to buy and sell and TP in the near future like that. I prefer holding only trusted and strong assets (if in cryptocurrency there are Bitcoin and ETH).

What you are saying is too complicated, because if you just want to say about a failure at something. I think it's enough for you to say it directly and it would also be better if you were able to accompany it with the best suggestions for increasing knowledge for investment and also for ways to do good research on all the things that we consider important for ourselves. Because failure can actually be avoided by using the best ways to achieve success, and the focus itself must also be clearer because there is no easy way to become successful.

If I say what kind of investor I am, I will say I am number one list investor because I have not jumped into investing for a long time. I never hesitate about the market to invest I invest using DCA method because almost all of the money I earn in a week I invest in Bitcoin using DCA method. Since I invest using the DCA method, there is no need for me to analyze the market. That's why I mean I'm a novice investor.

What class of an investor are you?

I don't invest to get quick profit from investment. I know that if I invest in Bitcoin I have to hold for a long time. I don't even do market research. I have been investing some amount from my earnings in DCA method. I don't know if I will be among the 3 class investors. But I think I can be a new investor.

well honestly does it matter, a person can be a newbie trader and make big profit anyway having DCA ing from the very bottom when we are in bearish all the way to right now means that the mental aptitude is good not everyone can do that some are so anxious about losing their money to do that but its definitely a good thing to be done considering the prospect of bitcoin if anyone had made DCA from long ago they're already making big bucks right now so I personally would consider that an investor, a good investor at that probably falls under the researcher investor as mentioned since probably buying at bottom requires planning not just right off the bat throwing money at whatever the price of the coin is.
personally i find investing in crypto market to be quite sufficient with the profits gained its honestly sometime outweight trading that I think such labeling worth nothing but I guess its good to identify capability based on these categories even though most of people probably are flexible in their roles.

As long as you still use the correct investment method, I don't think it's a problem if you don't always analyze the market when you want to invest, especially if the investment is only in Bitcoin with the money you get every week. However, you also need to realize that you will not always be a beginner investor in things like this, so there are times when you also need to make a little analysis of market trends. Even though you are still with a good choice like Bitcoin and still don't want to choose anything else in the future.

[tsaroz]

A a bad luck trader. I've been into crypto space for over a decade but my wrong decisions, hacks and scam led to lose most of my money and I ended up losing more than earning. I am now a more informed trader who trades on signals that too on trusted alts and bitcoin. Gambling had been one of my largest economic problem. Though I'm much stable now, I lost all of my crypto rage betting in 2019. My current strategy is to grid trade my coins and hold some for bull spikes.

You have confidence about your investment so you will not face any loss because those always face loss who have doubt about their investment. You are using DCA methodology so you can invest whenever you have money and the price is down and here the risk is also very minimum.

You are applying better strategies so I know that your winning percentage will be higher and as more coins you accumulate more you will be successful and also choose a value at which you will sell your coin as it matters a lot.

Hmm that's a good opinion!
Me too, bro I was also just buying and holding. But this strategy I used only for Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is the only asset to hold in the long term. Altcoin is only good for short term profit. 
 
Personally, I personally prefer to buy and hold Bitcoin and my buying is also done under DCA, that is, through DCA, I accumulate Bitcoin every week. In the rest, I trade but only in Altcoin and that too after complete research, i.e., technical analysis, fundamental analysis, but I trade in Altcoin the coin in which there is profit. The remaining investment is one of the best strategies for getting a big profit as compared to trading because, in it, you can organize good profit margins under long term holding because of Bitcoin. Bitcion is bullish in the long term. 
 
Yes, your claim is absolutely right that trading is difficult compared to investment, but if you have knowledge and experience of trading, then I think it will not be so difficult to get a profit...

[boyptc]

I disagree, even if someone is confident with what he's doing. That doesn't exempt him from facing any loss.

What he can be confident about is on how he's going to face the serious matters that he'd encounter with his investments. The advantage that he's getting is that he's confident and prepared.

But if it's about guaranteeing himself to have zero losses, I doubt it that even the best investors are still facing some losses but the big difference is that they can face it without anything to worry with.

[wmaurik]

You have confidence about your investment so you will not face any loss because those always face loss who have doubt about their investment. You are using DCA methodology so you can invest whenever you have money and the price is down and here the risk is also very minimum.

In investing there are always profits and losses for those who sell when prices are falling or when they can no longer wait patiently for high prices on their investment assets. So don't say that the investment will not experience losses because it still depends on how we react when we see a decline in the price of the investment assets we have. Because achieving something or making a profit through investment is not always easy, so there are many time sacrifices that must be taken into account by ourselves or the investor.

You are applying better strategies so I know that your winning percentage will be higher and as more coins you accumulate more you will be successful and also choose a value at which you will sell your coin as it matters a lot.

Strategy in achieving profits is very important in any field, because it does not only apply to investment, but also applies to any business we run. So considering a good strategy is a very important part for anyone who wants to profit and also win after sacrificing more time in waiting and also in collecting more coins by relying on small capital every week or month.
