Correct. Indeed, the majority of investors and traders often have misunderstandings about investing. They often think that they can easily become successful investing in bitcoins and other assets without learning about it and also don't understand the risks and hard work involved. Many investors lose money due to lack of knowledge and understanding of what they are investing in and the financial markets. Investments do not guarantee wealth, and only a small percentage of investors consistently make money. To achieve success in an investment career, it is important to get a good education and research, create a measured, disciplined and patient investment plan, manage risks wisely, keep learning and adapting.
Yes I agree with your point of view. One of the main investing techniques that can make you rich is diversification. This means spreading out your investments across different sectors to reduce the overall risk.
That's not true.
Diversification is a wealth preservation technique, not a wealth creation technique.
It is likely that if you are starting out without having a lot of resources, then it is better to NOT diversify, even though surely it can take a long time to build wealth to such an extent that it starts to make sense to diversify... and people will arrive at those decisions about how much and when to diversify at different times, but surely diversification is meant to protect your investment rather than growing your investment - even though it is possible that you could have some portions of your investment that are more directed at growth, and then other areas of your investment that are more likely to conserve value.
The devil is in the details regarding how much and/or when to branch out...
This approach will ensure that you minimise the impact of potential losses. That’s because successful investing requires a long-term perspective, as markets sometimes fluctuate in the short term.
Ok.. at first you were talking about building wealth, and now you are talking about preserving wealth... ..
But if it is said, according to advice, that there are many other means of trading along with BTC that give you a good profit,
For sure trading is another story that brings risk and needs to learn, so there is no way to determine whether it would be a good idea to fuck around with trading or gambling and act like you are investing.. when trading and gambling are not really needed for investing.. even if you might choose to play around with some parts of your investment portfolio with trading or even selling on the way up and buying on the way down, and perhaps you are not gambling with those kinds of techniques, but generally it is not a good idea to sell merely to buy back later at a lower price if you don't really know if you might be selling too much too soon, and you may well be better off just ongoingly buying rather than selling, especially if you have a good investment like bitcoin, then you may really screw up a potentially good investment, merely because you had been getting greedy to try to make more and then you end up selling too much too soon.. and it keeps going up beyond levels that you had anticipated to be possible or likely.
And last, investing in assets with long-term growth potential, like stocks or real estate, can also help you accumulate wealth. But for this purpose, you have to do a lot of work.
Perhaps. Depends on how you do it. Some people choose to invest in index funds...or maybe they choose to live in a house and to treat that as an investment, such as buying a house that has 4 units (four-plex, so that they might live in 1 of the units and rent out the other 3, which may or may not be a lot of work, depending on how they set it up.
Of course here, one of our favorite topics is bitcoin, so I would think that anyone should be starting out with bitcoin and then figuring out ways to supplement into other assets, but surely some people come to bitcoin as a new investment, and they had already been investing in other assets, so they come to bitcoin in a way that they are adding bitcoin into an already established portfolio, and surely those kinds of people have more options than a brand new investor who doesn't have very many investments and is trying to figure out where to start... which probably bitcoin would be a good place to start. and as they build more wealth, the way that they build will inform the extent to which they believe that it is good to diversify and if so into what and how much.
