So easy to say but very hard to follow Especially for long term investors. It's never a pleasant thing to invest in a coin and then watch your investment go low. I have come to realize that in any situation of the market, patience is much needed and also your choice of coins for investment and time of investment also matters. A simple way out is to plan your funds, dont fomo, buy at more dip, take profit at intervals.
Thats why there is also a saying that dont put it all in just one basket.. Anything good or bad can happen in the cryptocurrency market in just a snap which can make you lose or earn from it..
I actually do invest on different major cryptocurrencies and even the altcoins the difference between the two investment is that you really need a very long long long patience when you invest in major cryptocurrencies like
BTC and
ETH as we all know that its price can just pump after years and years of waiting but when it reach its new peak or new All Time High it satisfy you in the most amazing ways, not to mention its adoptions as well and the buying of the big corporations and people but ofcourse I also do hodl altcoins like
$ADA ..
In terms of altcoins I do hodl and swing trades most of it as we know, alts price can really go pump and dump most of the time compared to $BTC so it will give you instant profit for shorting it but there are also lot of shitcoins so we still need to be careful on investing too, Technical Analysis is a big help for you to know the right timing when to trade it.
