Cryptocurrencies are volatile, yes, but with volatility, you can earn your dough. But you just earn money with proper time assigned to learn the system because you must be well informed. There are cases where people are doing well in the market is all about determination plus knowledge=cash
Well, I kind of agree with this one. In fact, that volatility could be like two-sided blades, which could give you advantages but also slice you. Volatility is the one that attracts many people to jump into the crypto world since people could gain profits from the price discrepancy. I just want to add that, beside determination and knowledge, in order to be successful in trading, you also need good emotion control since it's important to have a clear head when you make a decision.
You've probably heard about $25 turning into $200?? It is more than possible. It could take a few weeks, days, months or years.
Talking about volatility, it could even take just a minute or hours for the price to flip, but yeah, in general, it happens when we're in the bullish season, but it's true we should prepare for the possibility you've mentioned too when the market gets bearish.
What matters is the right update, and the part you play, which is DYOR.(Doing Your Own Research),
DYOR will always be mentioned in the crypto world since you can't depend on other people's decisions to decide your fate. Your money is your responsibility, not theirs, and you can't be angry at other people's judgment when many people in the crypto world just want to hype their bags and drag you in. When theyre able to sell their bags for a good price, they'll leave you out. Be careful.
*Cryptocurrencies are assets.* And assets are more guaranteed to hold value than cash, overtime.
Well, I should say that cryptocurrencies are unique assets where you can't treat them all the same because there are cryptos that have a long-term basis, a short-term basis, or are not even valuable at all at some point. Yes, Bitcoin could be a long-term basis asset. Some alts could be too; other alts could be on a short-term basis or trashes too. So be careful about this.
Many people don't have patients though, learn to be patient while into crypto, observe the price, volumes and market, you're good to make it.
Best of luck. You can get more info on crypto updates
Patient is the key. Just like I've said above, besides the determination and knowledge that you've mentioned, we also need good emotion control to succeed.
