It is a good fact that now micro investors can invest also in crypto currency markets, unlike traditional financial instruments, where it was harder for the Average Joe to get into. Nowadays you can invest even without having a bank account as long as you have access to the Internet, an exchange some wallets and a smartphone or computer. Now the Blockchain has made it much easier for people to access investments and it has made some people very rich.

I agree with that crypto investing is risky just like gambling you need to have a luck to be able to have a great result. Research is very important you need to have a better knowledge to gain of it and mostly important think before you click.

Before we put money in crypto, the most important thing to do is to understand risk, as we know that crypto investment is like a roller coaster so prices rise and fall can reach hundreds of percent per day, if we are not ready to lose then we will be easy to panic.

True indeed, it seems a lot of people have a lot more skin in the game than they should and therefore panic arises very quickly. Someone who is aware of the risks would never invest more than 20% of net wealth in a volatile market. Many people are in head over heels though and only have 20% reserves or less.
Even as low as 0.5 to 2% a day would be considered massive returns in any other market but here people are getting REKT trying to chase 20% a day and claiming its impossible to make money trading crypto.
Bitcoin helps for those who don't have enough money but can gain profit with few investments. Its more a mind game and one can win with low investments also.

Investing in cryptocurrency is a mechanism for building wealth, but it is not only for the wealthy. This is why our community is growing.  Anyone can get started investing in crypto, and various options (BTC, ALT Coins, ICO’s) make it easy to begin with small amounts of fiat and add to a build a portfolio. What differentiates investing in crypto from gambling is that it takes time!  There is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

The Definition of Investing is, “The act of committing money or capital to a venture with the expectation of obtaining an additional income or profit.”
Legendary investor Warren Buffett defines investing as “… the process of laying out money now to receive more money in the future.” The goal of investing is to put your money to work in one or more types of investment vehicles like cryptocurrency, in the hopes of growing your money over time.
 
Remember we invest so we can “work smarter and not harder.” If you are like me, you work hard at your job.  It doesn’t matter whether you work for a company or own your own business. We all work long hours which requires sacrifice and adds stress to our lives. Using some of our hard-earned money and investing for our future needs is the best way to make the most of what you earn.  Pay yourself first by investing.
 
Investing is also about setting priorities for your money. Spending is way too easy and provides instant gratification.  New clothes, exotic vacations, fancy dinners and flashy sportscars are wonderful and make life more enjoyable. However, investing requires prioritizing the needs of our financial futures over the wants of our present desires.  Investing in cryptocurrency is a way to set aside money and put that money to work for you so that you can reap the rewards of your discipline in the future. This is how you receive a solid future.
 
There are several different ways you can invest in cryptocurrency, including putting money into coins, tokens, ICO’s, Bounty Campaigns, etc. Every investment vehicle has its positives and negatives.  There are no guarantees of making money, but a little work on your part can increase your odds of being successful. Analysis, research and even just plain reading up on crypto can help.
No one investing strategy or approach fits all. Every investor has different reasons for investing, different goals, different time horizons and varying degrees of comfort with investing. It’s important to define and articulate your own parameters.

You must set goals.  What do you want to achieve for the money that you will be investing? Is safety of your investment with some level of return sufficient? Are you trying to grow your money for a longer-term goal? You will even have different types of investments for different goals. Before you decide to invest any money into cryptocurrency it is imperative that you understand why you are investing and the result that you desire.  Goals should never be created in a vacuum. You also need to know your risk tolerance and your time-line as part of the goal-setting process.
Risk can mean a lot of things.  Investing in cryptocurrency means you have a risk of losing money. Your money invested can decrease in value, possibly to zero.  ALL investing involves risk in one way or another. Stocks often can go down in value over periods of time, just like crypto.  Do you remember what happened in 2008?  The S&P 500 dropped by 37%. This decline in the stock market was one of the worst in history.  Severe market corrections are not uncommon, especially in cryptocurrency!

How much of a drop-in value for your investments can you tolerate? Your tolerance of this risk is a function of when you need the money.  This is your time horizon.  Usually, the younger you are the less thought you give to fluctuations in the value of your investments.  This is the volatility of an investment.  You should align your investments with your time horizon.
How long are you going stay in an investment?  Warren Buffett rarely sells a stock he owns and doesn’t get rattled by market fluctuations. This is generally known as a “buy-and-hold” strategy.  There are extreme traders who buy and sell cryptocurrency daily. This is fine if you are a professional but is rarely a good strategy for the average investor.  I am not saying that you need to hold an investment forever.  Things change, and you should analyze your individual holdings on a set schedule to ensure they are still appropriate for your situation.

Some crypto-investment vehicles require sophisticated knowledge and monitoring.  Others are more set it and forget it. Your individual investment decisions should be based on your comfort level and your willingness to devote time to researching your choices.  An easy route is to choose a variety of cryptocurrencies.   A diverse portfolio of BTC, ETH, LTC, and BCH.  Crypto investors with more knowledge and experience might consider ICO’s.  It is important that you understand what you do know and don’t know. You should never be talked into something that you don’t understand or are uncomfortable with.  







This is a good advice for those who want to invest in cryptocurrency where volatility is the greatest risk to take. For new investors, I am looking forward for them to read these post as a friendly advice and to minimize the losses they might take in this volatile investments.
If you put your money in in cryptocurrencies especially in bitcoin they'll return it with double profit. But there's no 100% guarantee of gaining profit since it is volatile and it can be risky too.

Pretty good post. Crypto does appeal to people who don't have a lot of money to invest. It is the beginning of a brand new type of currency and we are just getting in on it. Most people don't even understand how it works yet or think that it's a scam. Although, honestly, a lot of people think that about foreign exchange and the stock market too. The delayed gratification necessary to lay out your money for crypto instead of toys and gadgets will pay off.

Who told you that lot of people thought that this is the same as stock exchange?

No its not because this is currency, people only mistaken to think that this is purely profiteering but its not because this is technology and currency at the same time that we must be adapting if we don't wanna leave behind the past

i really agree with that, as my advice before you invest is knowing first if you can handle it or how to handle it of course you need some knowledge to think wisely to overcome it through your mind not in the other mind, well if you don't know how to invest you ask something

the most important advice when going to invest in cryptocurrency you should be able to be more patient and be able to control the patience you have because if you are easily affected by bad news then you will get a loss.

Yes you are right, being patient right now is more important rather than having a strategy since the market is volatile and you will never determine when the market pirce is going to pump up again.
its not that hard to make money on crypto, you have to be patient and accept small returns of 0.5-2% a day and in a couple years you will be worth a poo poo ton.

For me to cope up this bearish trend of cryptomarket we should think wisely before making an investment in this crisis situation of crypto. Take time to analyze before making any investment and I would suggest to keep calm and be patience inorder to surpass this bearish trend of cryptomarket. Hodl is the best strategy at this moment of bearish and keep monitor to catch the right time when to invest for profitable outcome.
We should learn the very basic steps in investing in crypto and that is to be patient with what we are doing, pushing ourselves to learn despite of our busy schedule we need to take time to learn about how market flows and don't just depend on the current rating or the current price there are things to consider before making an investment.

the most crucial issue in making an investment in crypto is, purchase and hold. because crypto fluctuations do not permit us to get profit speedy and stable. patience in awaiting costs to rise higher turns into very critical.


Yes, who don't have a good experience will always lose when the market is very speedy, but people who have experience will make a profit and start buying when their price decreased. People who don't have experience will always hold the coins on the maeket after buying.

Those that are giving up right now are people that should not have invested in cryptocurrencies at all, they invested thinking they were going to make some easy money in some weeks or months and now if they are lucky they will need to hold for years to get their money back, let this be a lesson for all of them, do not invest in something you do not understand.

I can easily guess what happened to this people and why they were eager to invest in cryptocurrency right away. There was a huge pump just a few months back. That skyrocket is phenomenal. Person A has seen an article regarding bitcoin's sudden price increase. Person A remembers that Person B has bitcoins. Person A approached Person B and asked if he was able to make money from it. Person B says the truth which is that he indeed have made money from the price increase. Person A gets greedy and imagined swimming in a pool of dollar bills. Person A bugs Person B about it and made Person B teach Person A to invest. Person A invests only because of the feedback of Person B about investing in bitcoins. The price goes down substantially, now Person A is upset. Person A can't blame Person B as Person B never encouraged Person A to invest in the first place. Person A must do research but doesn't do it since he's only in here for the money and not the technology. Person A regrets everything and has nothing to blame but himself. Person A panic sells in the next dump that he experienced.

It's so easy to play this type of scenarios in our minds as the main character is a basic bitcoin user who is only in here solely for the money but doesn't really understand any of this stuff as they have zero actual interest in it.

If you're investing in bitcoin you should be aware to your environment, be active and follow the instruction or advice of other higher position because they have learn a lot so they clearly understand what cryptocurrency is. they may give you some tips how to prevent any fraud by other, because money is too fascinating many people around us need money so there is a possibility that they want your money too, they may steal or rob it to you that's why you should be aware of what happening in cryptocurrency because many fraud people are involving there.

To start with cryptocurrency investment, you should know more about the type of crypto you wish to invest into. Get to read more about the it and develop a firm stand to that investment.

Just choose the altcoins you want to invest in. Compare their graphs. Pick those tokens, which show the best progress. Compare their market cap as well. Make the choice.

I suggest investing in cryptocurrency better focus on just one coin, because with the focus of our analysis becomes sharper, focused and not much consideration that actually makes us unstable in making decisions. I suggest investing in bitcoin, because bitcoin has proven to be the most expensive coin and many conglomerates support bitcoin as a prospective digital payment instrument in the future.
