Once you decided to invest in Bitcoin or Altcoin, you have to determine what kind of money making strategy you are into? Do you only choose one to invest or put the bet on both?
If you want to make instead of losing, you have to find out exactly what you are investing in, what technology does that crypto use, what its goals are, what the company stands for it, what the development strategy and the tactics are... When you actually invest, go for the low prices, invest for long-term, and do not be afraid of falling prices.
If you decided to surf, you have to go through many failures before learning how to deal with those “dolphins”, “sharks”, and “ninjas”. Along with practical experiences, you have to take part in chart analysis courses and practice that knowledge by reading news or expert’s analysis. The last thing you needed is a little bit of luck to actually gaining a few dozen percentages of profit.
It is not easy at all to making money from this crucial market and you will not make any if you just sitting there waiting for the right price.
From my own experiences, you should divide your capitals into 3 parts, one for long-term investment into a crypto that has a “clear and bright” future; another for surfing; and the last one as backup money for an unexpected situation. For example, you have spent all the money surfing, and suddenly the next day red is all over the Exchange. At times like that, you can use the backup money to continue to surf. For my case, I bought XRP at the price of 11500 Sato thinking it has already at the bottom. But the next day, it continues to fall to 9400 and thanks to my backup plan, I still have some money to buy. This plan has saved me many times or at least help to reduce the losses. Anyway, these are just my experiences in Coin trading and I cannot ensure things will be the same for you. After all, this is just a small rock from that mountain you are about to climb.
Investing in crypto is a hard thing to do because as we all known it is very much different to the most of investment out there. Crypto is very volatile that's why it's hard it to predict so if you started investing in crypto you need to have a full knowledge about it and how it's system flow for you to be much aware and ready to any kind of situations that is possible to happen upon involving to this.
