The zeal to invest in speculative asset

[kotajikikox]

Investment strategy one implement be it short-term or long-term is channeled for profit maximization. Cryptocurrency on it's own is a solid long-term investment, one which is volatile and unpredictable, which is also a speculative investment. I will say it have outperformed most asset classes in recent years; including stocks, bond, gold, and real estate. Cryptocurrency is the tomorrow of today.

Please be specific because Not all crypto are good for long term profit maximization as some of them  might die in the sooner time ,have not you observed some of those that does not stay long in the exchange?
then those are the scam project of those that did not succeed in their plans .

And also must know which to invest, never take out Bitcoin in the list because that will keep you safer at least the amount you invested in Bitcoin.

also altcoin is a full of risk , so best to Name names here mate because cryptocurrency are not the tomorrow of today but yeah some will be.

Cryptocurrency on it's own is a solid long-term investment...

Nah, I don't believe that because it isn't true. If you talk of Bitcoin and a few alts with utilities, I will say that's true. This shouldn't be taken on face value across board for there are cryptos which aren't meant to be held longer than necessary. They will turn worthless in one's hand and one will be bagholding till God knows when.

Come to think of it OP, anything and everything that has to do with business and investment should be viewed as speculative in nature. There's no certainty to where price will go to or how that business will turn out in a few days from its startup or creation. It isn't a crypto thing alone.

Generalizations are most of the time a bad idea, newcomers see that bitcoin, ethereum and ripple have grown significantly since their creation and they mistakenly think that other coins could reach the same level of success, after all they think that if those coins obtained such success then other coins should be able to do the same, but this time will be different as they will be there from the beginning and earn a lot of money for a small investment, so they proceed to invest in those coins failing to see there is a reason the coins at the top are there, and that is because those are the best projects we have on the market, and very few developers have the talent, skill and the perseverance to get their projects to succeed and reach such levels.

Since this is your own opinion about this market, is it useful to compare crypto with other markets? Investing not only stops at achieving profits but also creates many other intangible values.
I know the potential and opportunities that crypto brings, but they are not everything, because we all know that this environment contains everything, including risks. I still remember a driving story, if you don't know how to drive when you sit in it, you are betting your life. Investing is the same, and most of those who fail lack the basic knowledge. But that failure is not only necessary, it is also a part of the lesson of the journey to victory.

@OP, Generally, there are thousands of cryptocurrencies in the space, and Bitcoin is the head of them all. When referring to Bitcoin, it's better to spell it out; otherwise,  it will be concluded that you are not only referring to a particular cryptocurrency. If you are not also specifically talking about Bitcoin, then you should move your topic to the altcoin discussion board.

One character of Bitcoin is volatility, and that's why it's better to invest in it and hold it in your wallet until the bull market, but if you are investing in altcoins, you should also prepare your mind for any losses you may incur.

To a fault there people that still mistake bitcoin as cryptocurrency in general not knowing that cryptocurrency is made up of numerous digital currency with a different blockchain, just like fiat with different currencies.  One of the asymmetry between bitcoin and altcoins, alts are not definite to mark a bull run or an all time high as many of these coins are projected sponsored by scammers  to defraud investors of their Investment that's why you have to do your study weighing all possibilities before investing into any alt project because character.the possibility of losing is higher than your chances of making a profit with alts due to their pumb and dump character.

The OP's statement is indeed vague as there are so many cryptocurrencies in the market.
Only few of them is worth holding long-term. Users should not count that any crypto can be categorized as such.
And outside this market, there are people who will prefer to invest in tangible assets such as real-estate, precious metal over crypto.
If you happen to be in this market, sure, volatility is your friend to gain profits, however, only few are worth holding.

Well, not all cryptocurrencies are profitable to hold. Because plenty of coins are just shitcoins without real use case. Hence, buying and holding crypto doesn't necessarily mean you'll gain in the future because it depends on the coins that you chose to buy. Moreover being a speculative asset makes it more risky compared to other investment opportunities (gold, real estate etc.), therefore an investor must know what you're getting into before deciding to invest your hard-earned money. Take time to learn to become aware of what coins are worthy to hold even it takes a long period.

Not all the cryptocurrencies are worth investing. Some are there to increase the number of cryptocurrencies and some are there to scam people so when you want to invest you to look well before investing. Just like a popular saying that, "look before you leap". And cryptocurrency investment is not for short term because short term investment will not benefit you instead you might be a loser of the investment but whereby you hodle the coins for a long term and in the bull market/season you can sell and make benefits.

And also don't invest on a project that is not progressing. A cryptocurrency that has live a long year on the ecosystem yet it has not hit $1 is not a progressive project and it is liable to fall down because the renewal of the domain will expired and the founder will not renew it again since there is no progress, and it will be an abandoned project. So invest wisely.

What might be considered "zeal" by some, could be considered foolishness by others if you are investing into something that is way too risky. I mean it's obvious that we are talking about a situation that has to be a little bit different, and we need to arrange something that needs to be better than what it is today. I get that it is not that easy, and I get that we are talking about a situation that has to be a little bit difficult and different, but we are still talking about a deal where it is going to be quite tough to handle.

I believe that we are going to end up seeing a bit of an issue, but that doesn't mean that it has to be all that quick and simple, we could probably end up with something that could change all the trouble later on. So, what we need to focus is how we could avoid investing into something speculative, instead of chase it. If we could, and invest into something that makes sense, then it will definitely end up with a better deal.

Cryptocurrency is no doubt a very good investment plan especially when it's held in the long term, but it's volatility and unpredictability could be the risk that comes with investing in cryptocurrency. Real estate has in recent time been a great investment plan too aswell Wich when compared with cryptocurrency could be regarded as solid too.

In the long term real estate also becomes very profitable just like cryptocurrency does in the long term too.

Having a price over $1 is the measurement for a project to be progressive. A crypto coins price is heavily influenced by various factors like its token supply, circulating supply, number of active wallets, 24-hour trading volume and some other aspects. HBAR has a supply of 50B and its circulating supply is less than 35B so it needs to have at least 35B of market capital to hit 1$. Can we say this is a failed project? I don't think so as they have a large community and have been actively developing their project until now. This is not the only project that is very active in terms of development but their token price is sucking due to bad tokenomics. Token price has nothing to do with its development.
