The power of investment choices

[Yatsan]

The easiest way is to see when you want to achieve your investment goals. short, medium or long term. If it is short term, then choose the investment with the smallest risk. Long term, choose investments with the highest risk and greatest return.

Actually it is the opposite; if you are aiming for long term it should be a low risk investment in order to sustain the value for years and if it is with short term investment then high risk and high profitability would be preferred 'coz it is expected to run for a short period of time, thus should be compensating enough. With investment choices, there are many factors to consider not only risk and profitability but also investor's knowledge and preference, as well as financial capacity of which one would be suiting him. Engaging to all of it at once won't do anything good.Knowing advantages and disadvantages would also help for a better result.

It's not enough having an investment plan, knowing the right choice to make for every investment defines the investor better. Take for example jumping on every new coin we find on reputable exchange might not be enough guarantee that coin will do well in the future.

IMO, everything must be done with careful planning so that in the end you don't waver when carrying out the plan because after all we already have a foundation that can be used as a reference, namely the plan.
Although sometimes in the middle there are some evaluations that are carried out but when it does not get out of the path of the plan that we compiled before I think it doesn't matter, it's actually good because we can develop the plans that we previously thought of.
Suppose when we focus on planning to stay in bitcoin then continue your planning don't let you be tempted by some new project that ignores your original plan as well as when the price in the middle does not match what you think in the plan such as when bitcoin has increased or decreased significantly enough you just have to adjust the conditions but not escape from the investment plan made.

It may not be so easy to find one that will have a listing on the top exchange, but even without this there are quite promising tokens that have not yet shown growth and they can bring good profits in a bull market.

The issue with investing in altcoins is that you cannot actually know which particular coin has the potential to make you some profit during bull season. If, after investing in several altcoins and during the bull market, the person is only able to make a profit from two tokens, that means they have lost the money that was invested in other tokens. I learned that even if one chooses to invest in altcoins, they should have more Bitcoin than any other coin they are investing in. I still have some old coins in my wallet, which I got about 2–3 years ago, and I hope they become useful this season of bull.

[panganib999]

Isn't that already part of your investment plan per se? Like you have to know how to pick the right investment/asset to invest in before you actually make an investment strategy otherwise, how would you even start with step 1? It doesn't make sense to me, or maybe I just don't see the bigger picture, you let me know. Anywho, of course, investors are always ahead of the curve in the financial landscape, they know what's going to boom and what's not lightyears away from it even reaching the mainstream (or so some people think), and even if we're not talking about being on top of trends and what's popping, it's just awesome to actually be in charge of your financial security, which is something that is readily available with investing.

[harapan]

Ther are good altcoins that can be profitable in the short run. The problem is knowing you which coin to invest in. A lot of people just want to invest in any coin with good marketing. Altcoins know how to market and people are deceived by this. The fact that a coin is popular does not mean it will be good. That is why it's better to just stick to Bitcoin if you don't know which altcoin to invest in. This might make you feel like you're missing out because an altcoin can grow exponentially within weeks but since you can never really tell which will grow and which will always remain a shit coin, it's better you stick to Bitcoin.

It is better to win small and lose less than lose more and win less

Talking about risks, "win small, lose small" may suit some, but "lose more" should ideally bring "win more." High risks can be scary if you lose, but if you win, the gains can be substantial. I don't discourage anyone from investing their money wherever they want, as long as they can accept the consequences and take responsibility for their assets. I believe that's fair enough. Their decisions should be well thought out.

From what you've written, it seems you prefer lower risks. However, if we compare Bitcoin, your choice, with stocks or gold, Bitcoin actually carries more risk. Aren't you attracted to other investments that promise smaller wins but have a higher win rate?

Knowing that you only choose Bitcoin, I don't really have any objections. It's good because I also have BTC.

I mean "earn more" could also be just a dream and not reality. People do get into high risk stuff that doesn't really have high earn returns neither, I think it's quite clear that they are doing something just because they think it will do fine but the reality is that they are not going to earn more.

Like people who invested into pepe, do you really think that they took a high risk because they could earn more? They thought they would, but it was obvious from the start that they were taking useless risk and that's the issue. I believe that we are not going to end up with any downside from there, I think it's clear that we are going to end up seeing people take useless risk that doesn't have all that great return in the end.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Not all altcoins are centralized. Some altcoins are decentralized like Ethereum. The difference is you can't point out the actual person, people, or company that created Bitcoin but you can point out the people or company that own every other altcoin.

How are you defining the word "decentralized"?  I'd argue that any coin that can go from PoW to PoS without anybody having a say in the matter is pretty damn centralized, unless I'm missing something obvious.  Similarly, any altcoin that has a DAO or any kind of governance is centralized, even if mining or staking is decentralized by nature.  Ugh.  The state of altcoins has become atrocious IMO.  I long for the simpler, easier days of 2016--but that's just me being retardedly sentimental about shitcoins.

Come to think of it, I was probably saying there were way too many shitcoins on the market back in 2016.  And now?  There are (too many)^3 if you get my meaning.  It's amazing so many of them are doing well.

[Marvelman]

Just because some coin makes it onto Coinbase or whatever doesn't automatically make it worth your money.  You gotta think about stuff like how many are out there, if people are actually trading it, the market cap, how crazy the price swings are, etc. 

It ain't dumb to stick to the big dogs like Bitcoin.  But that dont mean you should totally ignore some other projects getting buzz that could pop off.  Gotta do your homework, think hard about what makes sense for you, and spread your bets around smart-like. All in all, I think it's better to make consistent, smaller gains than to risk big losses.

[Kelward]

If you want to invest in crypto assets, bitcoin is the most preferred and mandatory for crypto investors. Because so far Bitcoin has been proven to have a very profitable price flow for investors. In contrast to altcoins which always have price flows that are difficult to predict. Maybe if you want to add to your portfolio in crypto assets such as altcoins, you definitely have to choose altcoins that have really been analytically tested. And still the risk will be much higher compared to bitcoin.

Everybody in the crypto space can not deny that bitcoin is the king and most outstanding of all crypto coins, so one can not go wrong in it's investment. And if a person wants to diversify their options, it's more preferable to do so in old and trusted top altcoins, they'll give near assurance like bitcoin, better the devil that you know than the angel that you don't know. Normal profit that I'm sure will happen is better than high profit that I'm not sure that I can cash in. I like to minimize my risk, instead of aiming for maximum risk, that cannot guarantee my ROI.

Often, we're tempted by earning more, right?  People gamble when they do high-risk things like Pepe, Shib. They expect to earn more, but is it just about money? It might be the adrenaline rush, the story they'll tell, or the "I was there" badge. Humans don't always calculate profit and loss rationally. We dream, risk, and tell stories.

The second approach is learning from failures. These useless risks - aren't they the best teachers? Though not more money, may people gain experience, insights, and resilience? Sometimes the payback is wisdom, not riches, right? We often ignore intangible benefits. Thus, they won't leave empty-handed despite not winning the prize. They're wealthy than a balance sheet shows. Was that a loss?

[BRINIRHA]

This is why we must have some investment planning. Because investment must be divided into several parts. Such as short, medium and long term investments. Long-term investments should be based on lower risk but have good growth potential in the long term. Medium investment must be based on projects with strong enough fundamentals and have a visible journey structure so that we can see potential increases from the projects being implemented. So we can estimate how long we have to hold it. So, short term investments usually don't involve large amounts of capital. Because short-term investments are usually only made based on following market trends. Get in when a new trend starts and get out when the trend is at its peak. All investment instruments and plans inherently have risks. But the time period we take must also be a benchmark for us in determining which instrument we will enter. adjusted to the risks and potential.

[Lamkuthang]

Another option is to spread ones portfolio amongst different coins but ensuring the have a greater percentage in projects with a visible future. It is better to win small and lose less than lose more and win less

I think this option is quite good and interesting, but it requires attention and time. Correct. If it is not built in a hurry, it will produce sometimes unexpected profits. and it could be that what we didn't target actually became the leader and what we previously predicted actually continued to go down and its rotation was slow.

[Altryist]

This is a diversification strategy, investing in other coins that have good potential for the future and are already performing well.
This is a safe option, but it also requires good management.

What is certain is that Bitcoin is the main investment and has the most percentage, then followed by Altcoins such as ETH which are also quite good for the long term.
Choosing coins that are clearly highly recommended, it is better to minimize losses than having to face greater risks with new coins.
New coins can be an option for luck trials only, but only a small amount of funds is used.

Bitcoin is followed not only by ether, but by all tokens, in fact, the entire cryptocurrency market is moving behind Bitcoin. If you are worried about the reliability of your investments, then buy Bitcoin and sleep well, if you want to get big profits and are willing to take risks, then you need new coins, because they have the greatest potential for growth. Choose only those projects that are working and progressing, have new partnerships, such projects have a much better chance of achieving success.

Some coin might have good Supply but low liquidity, some might have high market capitalisation but very poor volatility. Although it's hard to predict the accuracy of a coin performance in the near future this why it is always advised to stick to the known which is BTC.

I am now a typical investor who spreads my money across several coins in my portfolio because I can say that I invest to build my wealth. Unless I want to maintain my wealth, maybe I will focus on one point, for example just investing and buying BTC.

Everyone is free to choose to invest using Bitcoin and they are indeed aware of the benefits they can get from Bitcoin and if they choose a trusted altcoin to be able to make a profit from investing, of course this is a good thing and they will also be able to get daily profits from it. The advantages of trading using a trusted type of altcoin, of course everyone who invests wants the normal profit they get from investing compared to only getting a profit once and after that they won't be able to get it again.

Stop wasting your time on shitcoins is what I tell my clients.  Buy bitcoin, ethereum, Monero, litecoin and that’s about all I think are legitimate. But first make sure yoube got a traditional portfolio tied to the real economy (businesses).  These are actual physical places that provide goods and services..not some token with no utility and no chance long term.

We’re tempted at the prospect of earning more and sometimes, we’re in too much of a haste to put out money into investments that would have losses as the outcome later on.
It’s much better to learn and pick up lessons from the mistakes of others but having personal experiences of mistakes and failures can do the job as well.

And I agree. We often ignore and underestimate intangible benefits as we’ve paid too much attention to the physical ones we can literally see. Almost like having goodwill in your business. That’s an intangible asset any business would want to have and keep.

That is when risk management comes in.

If you cannot take risks, you can never win big in any investment. That is why people are still trusting altcoins and newly launched projects that are still looking for popularity in the crypto space. If the risk is well taken and the project goes well, there will be a high profit.But investing in an existing, well-known project is also good with less risk, but there will be little gain since the coin has already gained popularity in the cryptocurrency market.

 Therefore, if you are willing to make money on crypto investment and trading, then invest in altcoin.

Indeed. Planning is necessary but it doesn't guarantee anything if you have no idea of what you are getting into. Still, having a knowledge plays an important role when we're investing, it is needed so that our plan can have a good result. Anyway, there are many new coins launching everyday that can tempt the investors to ride for the possibility of having a decent profit. Many of us wants to earn quick and don't have patience to wait longer. That's why even it is quite risky, they opted to invest in coins without real use case and just existing because of hype.

We have to keep in mind that we are investing our hard-earned money, therefore it's just right to always be wise on choosing what coins to invest in if we don't want to lose our money.
