Topic: Are you risking investment in other things? - page 11. (Read 1181 times)

Bitcoin is what is mainly being discussed, but other discussions have still been brought up in this section of the forum about investment decisions, and many people shared their opinion. I do not see it as a big deal to give investment hints to other forum members, there are no profile pictures and the identity of many forum users will remain private for as long as they want. It is a forum to learn from each other on the topics we know best some concerning bitcoins, others not completely about bitcoins. If we cannot learn from each other, we are not doing ourselves well.

I don't consider investing in Bitcoin is risking my money, actually if I save my money in fiat, I'm taking risk of banks went to bankrupt and inflation rate will decrease my wealth. Bitcoin is the best investment among the others and I'm not invest in other asset because they're involved with centralization.

However if you want to invest in real estate, then go for it. The best investment isn't an investment where many people are making a lot money, but the best investment is when you know what you invest.

Diversifying investments in different places might be a good option for those who have a lot of money, apart from spending some of their money on buying Bitcoin during the Halving, they also put their money on Real Estate. Bitcoin fans who have limited capital will risk all the money allocated to invest to buy Bitcoin. Their hopes are clear, apart from being equipped with established knowledge on Bitcoin investment, they have also developed the character of being investors who do not easily panic when the market is sideways.
There are many investment options to choose from for those who have large capital. I, who have limited funds and are still in the stage of wanting to get out of economic difficulties, will entrust my capital to Bitcoin in the hope of getting more returns when Bitcoin has gained positive momentum.

I keep more of my funds in bitcoin than other investments (investment funds) but there are several other places as a place to invest in the real sector, namely stocks that like to provide dividends to their holders, maybe asking why stocks, because in my opinion this is one diversification of investment assets, As an investor who has an outlook for the future, of course, you have to prepare several plans for anticipation and taking appropriate opportunities, so to be more precise, I can have many opportunities from what I took today, even though I didn't use big money, but I think it's enough for the learning stage of investing. wisely.
Regarding real estate, I'm not interested, because I don't understand it that far.

Of course, just talking realistically in terms of investment and diversifying it is an action to increase the chances of getting high profits, not in anticipation of risk, more precisely to increase opportunities, everyone has the same goal in investing, including me, who wants financial freedom for a better life. One of them is the bitcoin halving which is annually targeted by bitcoin investors to increase profits from buying the bearish season.

I think whatever thing out of here is a personal life and many people may not mind sharing it aside this discussions that doesn't  relates with bitcoin tells. Usually a real investors knows how to diversify their investment properly without having to be online based investment. I think some people who doesn't know the real purpose of bitcoin do cut down their risk by investing little, I mean they do invest what they feels is riskable for them to lose without having to think about it. There are lots of people who backed their investment with a real life businesses so to whatever that may occur during the halving may not have that negative effects on them rather they would look towards their personal business to regain back their strength and waits till when the market takes it moves.

These steps also helps in securing their investment not to panic and sell without having patient to wait at their determined date of maturity before altering it, this reduces tension of holding bitcoin maybe if there were lots of backup fund or cushion ( that's is to say a reserved  funds) you wouldn't be that tempted to start deeping hands into your investment without waiting for the appropriate time before selling. But however, personal business is something that keeps sustaining the family especially to those who don't focused and puts all their efforts towards bitcoin price changes and increments to take profits from it.

No, as some people here, I don't have too much money to diversify into other assets so I will invest it all in bitcoin. Of course, I only invest what I can afford to lose, not my entire savings and daily needs in bitcoin. I think diversification is not necessary if we don't have too much money, it brings no benefit other than diluting our profits. Just like talking about real estate, I wonder how many people here can afford to buy real estate to diversify their investments.

We are on an internet forum and basically not everyone who's talking about portfolios and diversification are really putting it to their mouths.

I also like high returns, despite of not having much in other assets, I've discovered it years ago that if you hold for a long time in crypto. The risk is higher so the gain is. But we're not on the losing side if the crypto asset you own is BTC.

  When it comes to investments, oftentimes it comes with risk and those risk might be minimal in cases of bonds whereas other times in cases with stocks and commodities, the risk might be substantial. Bitcoin is no different as there're risks involved while investing. The more the risk, the more the potential for high returns. This points out the need to invest more in several businesses. 

  Besides Real estates, I'd prefer investing in transportation as well... in a stable economy I mean. Because when the economy is strong, it enables the transportation companies to perform well because people and businesses want to travel and ship things. But as I earlier said,  investments involves risk as demand can drastically fall due to tough times in the economy. 
 

Every "good" financial portfolio should have a balanced investment strategy, where you include several investment options, based on your age and you income.

Example : Younger people can still take higher risk, because they have the luxury of time on their side. A typical investment strategy for them would be say : 20% in low risk investments and 40% in medium risk investments and 40% in high risk investments.

The older investors should be a lot more conservative, with a typical investment portfolio looking like this => 50% low risk / 30% medium risk and only 20% in high risk investments. (Bitcoin and Crypto currency investments fall into the high risk investment section) 

A lot of people are talking about diversifying their portfolios to reduce risk. However, despite our divergent perspectives, we share a common objective, the pursuit of optimal returns. So I suspect people are talking about diversifying but they won't do it, I speculate that a majority of people will continue to concentrate a significant portion of their assets solely in bitcoin.
As for me, I am also focusing most of my assets on crypto because like I said, I want high returns. There will be risks but I am willing to start over if my bitcoin investment fails. I really see the upcoming halving or bull season as my biggest opportunity and I don't want to miss it.

It is true that a lot of us are already planning as to how much we want to have by the time the bull run begins. However, in regards to investing in other things, it is not surprising that a lot of us have other investments outside of Bitcoin, and some even put more attention, effort, and money into those investments. Aside from the obvious fact that it is always better to have more than one source of income, it is also the factor that Bitcoin investment is unpredictable and cannot be fully relied on for our daily necessities in terms of finance. Such a reason is the main concern many have that drives them to invest in other things such as gold and real estate. To put it simply, the security of having various sources of income plays the biggest role in why we invest outside of Bitcoin, and I don't see anything bad regarding this as long as proper financial planning is included.

Personally, I am interested in investing in real estate and starting a business as I continue with Bitcoin investment. Real estate is doing relatively well here in my country and having a business on the side is never a bad thing as long as I budget things perfectly.

Everyone uses different platforms to invest. Some people invest in Bitcoin and others review the market in a different way and invest in other ALT coins, that is, in the case of investment, an investor who thinks it is safer to invest in a coin usually invests in those coins. If you have enough knowledge about the market and after researching the market well you realize that investing in bitcoin is not safe for you but you don't invest in bitcoin then you try to find a different platform to invest. We have always considered Bitcoin a very safe currency to invest in. We don't see the volatility in the Bitcoin market that we see in other coin markets. The Bitcoin market moves at a certain speed, just as the possibility of the Bitcoin market going up suddenly is low, the possibility of the market going down suddenly from a good position is very low. Basically, people invest more in Bitcoin because of these reasons.

Yes, I do and I have plans of investing in real estate. In my country, the prices of properties have gone up but they're much higher in the city unlike in rural areas. And if there are any other investments that I'll put, maybe it's for my personal development. Like learning new skills and developing it so that I'll be ready to jump into another career if I ever want to. I know that most of us have their own ambitions and like dream jobs and that's what I am trying to prepare for myself. For now it's just like a personal satisfaction but who knows if I'll be able to apply my learnings so, it's also an investment and don't forget to invest into yourselves as well.

Investing all the money in one asset, for example in bitcoin, is not right, since there is a concept of devertification that establishes that for maximum security you need to distribute money across different assets, this helps to save capital if something goes wrong. It's like the concept of putting all the eggs in more than one basket.
In addition to investing in bitcoin and altcoin, I have investments in shares of industrial campaigns, as well as shares of two banks. Its are not as high-risk as cryptocurrencies, but this allows you to distribute capital.
I also want to buy a property for rent.

Currently, I am spending time researching the wood production sector. I think some industries will need to grow again so that investment can attract again.
To use the word risky in this situation is also quite accurate for me, since I have to accept the time and effort for this job, anyway, hope everything goes smoothly. Every time investment markets like crypto, real estate,... decline, the shift towards pure labor of production rekindles in my mind.

While the number of assets in which you can invest is almost unlimited, at the same time when you begin to think about it is not as if there are many good options available now, gold is good but it can remain stagnant for decades, so unless you already have a lot of money this does not seem like a good option, real estate is overvalued all over the world, collectibles are overvalued as well and it is a market in which if you are not an expert you will be scammed, the stock market is only for those that know it deeply or your losses will be high as well, so as you can see, it is not as if there are abundant options for us and it is why many decide to concentrate exclusively in this market.

Any investment must have a risk, whether it's low or high, but an investor should not be fixated on just one investment instrument, he must be able to diversify his investment to minimize losses if one of his investments falls.
For me personally, apart from Bitcoin, I invest in stocks of real-estate and e-commerce companies that I think have potential. The real-estate and commerce sectors still have potential in the future and it is quite worth it to invest in companies in this field. And apart from that, I also have a part in an offline business in the health sector, even though the income is quite small, it has a market and I don't need to bother thinking about operations because it runs itself.

Those who are familiar with Bitcoin and other investments like you said, will probably invest in a lot of things. For example, I have a friend who used to be a stock and forex trader. After he got to know Bitcoin, he decided to divide his capital into stocks, forex, and Bitcoin and he could live it well.

And another friend of mine invests in gold, securities, and bonds. After learning that there is Bitcoin, he also decided to invest in Bitcoin. And because he was previously an investor, he could hold Bitcoin tightly and not be provoked by the news circulating. He always says to be patient and stay calm when investing. No matter how difficult the situation is, we can emerge victorious if we can be patient and remain calm.

I only invest in Bitcoin and altcoins, although I have some gold in reserve. And I'm still trying to have more Bitcoin. And with the Bitcoin halving next year, the price of Bitcoin could soar very high, exceeding the last ATH. And if at that time, I already had a lot of Bitcoin, it would be a huge profit for me. That is also what people who have invested in Bitcoin are doing.

One thing you need to know is, although the past has shown us that halvings always bring us a bull market and bitcoin will hit a new ATH. But there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself and bitcoin will definitely still make new ATH to bring us profit. So investing all in bitcoin just because the halving is approaching, I don't think it's a good idea. If someone has a lot of money, diversification should still be maintained because the future is unpredictable. As for me, I'm not that rich and I'm still making a trade-off to just focus on bitcoin even if we don't have a halving.

In most places around the world real estate is way over priced, except maybe in some small Chinese cities. There are some stocks I invest in but many of the larger caps like AI are over priced like Nvidia. Same with Apple and Netflix.

The only other good safe investments is bonds. You can buy a government bond and yield 4-5% with basically no risk. And if they cut rates then you will end up making more money faster.
