Defining your objectives and time horizon on Bitcoin

The real be say you really needs to sabi why you wan invest? for bitcoin from the beginning and why u wan become bitcoin investor, honestly  speaking as a newbie investor when we really get that determination no  matter the plenty risk you go learn how to manage the ups and downs for the investment. You need to clear your mind on common purpose wey include the part wey Long-term dey come in. This mean say you no suppose get the mindset of making quick profit from volatility, or diversifying your existing investment portfolio, or hedging against inflation.

Assessing your risk tolerance

Well, from wetin I fit talk, Bitcoin  sometimes dey known for price wahala and how you fit handle risk wey dey play important role for how you go invest. E get another problem for maintain financial stability and peace of mind. Na why you need to sabi and align your investment with the level of risk wey you dey comfortable with. Now, this na the part wey you go analyze your financial situation like checking your current income, savings, and expenses to know how much you fit afford to invest. Na why you go sabi say make you invest only wetin you fit afford to lose.


Portfolio diversification

Some most newbies sometimes dey mix this things together wey I fit talk say both disconcentrated and diversified bitcoin portfolio. When you dey build your bitcoin portfolio, one key decision na whether to put your money for one place or spread am. Each approach get im own advantages and disadvantages, I fit talk say e go depend on wetin you wan achieve and how you go manage your risk.
Make we talk about Concentrated portfolio wey investors dey use wey don do strong research and really believe for the potential of specific asset. Dem dey hold small number of asset, often with big allocation to each one.

You need to Determine your investment strategy first

To sabi wetin your investment strategy go be na another important factor wey you go consider:

Dollar Cost Averaging: Dis strategy dey involve making small but consistent investments for cryptocurrencies wey you choose.

Learing how to make use of Micro Investing: E be like dollar cost averaging but e dey happen with even smaller amount of money. Usually, micro investors dey invest once or twice for week.

Growth Investing: Growth investors dey look the future potential of Bitcoin project and dey invest because dem believe say e go generate significant value for future, even if bitcoin at some point stop to no dey pump for this season e go still get the mind to HODL.

 When building a Bitcoin portfolio, it's essential to avoid common mistakes such as:

- Lack of research: Not understanding Bitcoin, blockchain technology, and market dynamics.

- Insufficient security: Not using secure storage options, such as hardware wallets, and following best security practices.

- Emotional decision-making: Making investment decisions based on emotions, such as fear or greed.

- Over-investment: Investing more than you can afford to lose.

- Lack of diversification: Putting all your investments in Bitcoin without diversifying your portfolio.

- Not having a strategy: Not having a clear investment strategy and sticking to it.

- Ignoring risk management: Not setting limits and managing risk.

- Falling for scams: Not being cautious of phishing scams, fake investment opportunities, and other types of scams.

By being aware of these common mistakes, you can take steps to avoid them and build a more successful Bitcoin portfolio.

I want to believe that I'm open to learn from everyone's perspective that is going to make suggestion and some correction too!!!

Well everyone e get their own way of managing their portfolio and my concern on your topic na di number one wey talk day na do risk management. Investing in different asset can't reduce your risk in crypto investment though you didn't explained day well. Many people here e don do that investment plan before and dem get the results. If the investor e get plenty money to do that den e good but if money no big them make him no try am ooh because him go loss weti no good from the altcoins. You know how many people invest in $trump coins, many people lost and what about Davido coin?
Them do second point be say, long term investment nai be do konkon but weti you dey do for that long term investment? Now if you dey investment in other cryptocurrencies you must chop one if u no dey do business. And di other ones wey you no go chop will dey do well?
So weti be my conclusion be say invest only in Bitcoin but you can trade with other cryptocurrencies for instant pot of soup if you get luck.

Finally long threads like dis no be di best.

Ignoring risk management: Not setting limits and managing risk.

You no talk how to manage the risk for bitcoin investment. The best thing na for newbie to set up an emergency funds wey go act as backup funds when you dey invest for bitcoin so that, if any unexpected real emergency pop up, you go fit use that your emergency funds take care of the problem without selling your bitcoin investment.

you fit face some real challenges when you dey build am because di investor need to dey careful when e dey spread capital across any other cryptocurrency wey e dey plan to invest in.

This na the wrong thing for any newbie to do. Diversifying into shitcoin when you just ststarted your bitcoin invesment. You need to know that bitcoin price control all altcoins, so if you go buy shitcoin say you dey diversify, you are doing the wrong thing and risking your funds the more because if bitcoin price dip, altcoins price go definitely dip too.

Therefore, if you want diversify make e be to other kind of asset like bond,shares equity, cash equivalent and properties that is in a different line of asset. So that, if bitcoin price dip, the other asset no go follow depreciate in price rather he fit increase in price to balance up your lost.

I understand where your topic is driving towards but frankly it's a vague it blurs the line between actually hodling bitcoin and trading bitcoin, in that almost every single point you made are best relatable to bitcoin trading or basically crypto trading in general whilst I'm still very sure you are referring to actual bitcoin hodling.

The fact is hodling bitcoin really means making it as simple as possible which is being consistent and and understanding good security measures. (Also take note stables don't store value they're mostly just an escape from dynamic rates).

When we dey talk about Bitcoin investment, first we suppose know say na big and better investment wey go give us better return in the future if we actually hold for long time even though no investment dey certain but because of the history of Bitcoin investment make some people to be convinced that hope still dey for Bitcoin in the future na waiting make to hold am na en be the best. And if you dey invest for this asset wey be Bitcoin you no really need to spread your funds to any other asset when you never reach the peak of your investment which is overaccumulation stage because e go distract you and when spreading across other assets, do not spread it on any cryptocurrency because e no dey advisable and risk management no be just about spreading funds on other asset but rather knowing what asset to invest in and amount that is suitable for it.

[Hewlet]

your analogy is well detailed enough to an extent though the issue i find with this is that you are mixing some things up which kind of contradict the initial idea th thread is projecting. building bitcoin potfolio is on a different part while building your crypto potfolio is on another level on it on. the difference between the two is that it is when you are talking about crypto in general that the concept of diversification comes into play and then you talk about splitting your asset into different coins which core bitcoin enthusiast will generally not allign well with such idea.

when you are concerned on building your bitcoin potfollio alone, what becomes your priority is structures and systems that helps you manage your investment properly such that it becomes easy to increase your potfolio at a fast pace. for instance, it will include trying to use the best strategy that will work together to increase your bitcoin. for that reason, you will consider factors like setting the right emergency fund in place, increasing your income and also ensuring that nothing is eating into your bitcoin. that you are sure that you will not struggle with your investment.

@OP, you have done well to breakdown some thing for newbies on this thread, especially the ones that are yet to invest into Bitcoin for the first time, they can learn some basic thing here, including the importance or securing their coins and holding for long. The part which you didn't make any clarification about was the diversifying of portfolio, I didn't even get the explanation you were making there and I don't know if someone else does but most times, some newbies are not too patient to read a wall of text, it's better to just simply every with the very important key points.

[Sonia_123]

The only way wen you go fit investment successful as a newbie na wen you nor rush at all just take am easy, because some persons dey too rush na him make dem dey rush out because all dem reason be sey bitcoin na money making machine.

To start to dey invest apply the DCA strategy because na with only that strategy you go fit use accumulating your portfolio small small without any trouble as long as you get your discretionary income wey be the money wey remain for all your expenses wen you don make for the month wey dem wey call left over, with that one you go buy bitcoin well for long term of about  4-10 years or more and you no go touch am, so that you go fit get enough profit after you don reach your target .

As a new investor, you nor need to spend money wey you wan take do something before take invest because you nor fit trust the price wey you dey see because e fit drop at anytime wey go come be like sey you dey lose, instead use money wey you go fit loss because that is money wey you no dey reason even if e no dey your hand, that money wey you go take flex, so that wen, the price dey drop e nor go affect you because bitcoin nor too sure.

Normal no be to pack different altcoins gum body onto spreading of investment na be diversification, when di cryptocurrency investment don cross from bitcoin to altcoins that one me I dey feel am say e don enter gambling level be that due to how altcoins di dump wehtin no nice. The risk for altcoins investment I go rather redirect that money to other investments like gold, bonds, stock and real estate. Those assets get low risk for loss when we contrast am to altcoins way no deh commended for long time investment, and no be every person feat trade for urgent 2k, you feat go trade lose all the little money you for use invest for real life assets weh na only time e go require to make profit
