What class of an investor are you?

[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.

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.

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.

The Wealthy Trader

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.

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.

[sulendra12]

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.

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.

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.
