Investing all in on every investment program is a big no.Even if its a long term or short term investment all investment may lose and turn out to scam.Dont go all in on every long term or short term investment because you may up losing all your money if the investment failed or turn to scam
Investing in a scam is another thing,it happens only if you are not careful enough to understand their hollowness ,most scams have a good outer sphere but if you look carefully you can understand what their future holds and since crypto currencies does not have any regulation or jurisdiction you will see more scams here,when it comes to the term all in definitely does not imply that you have to invest all your hard cash into a particular stock and when you are not good in managing your portfolio you face these sort of issues.Being an investor mean you have to forecast everything if you are really looking to make a profit rather than investing blindly.

Diversification is always a good strategy if you are after preserving your assets while at the same time spreading the risks and making your money work in different ways. By putting your assets in different risk-reward ratio of investments, that minimizes the risk of losing everything all at once. More like playing it safe and being wise.
As a wise person you will surely think up on this thing first since you do know already the risk involved on any investment and diversification would really lessen the risk because its been partitioned already which means if one of them fails then recovery wont be too hard compared on putting up on one investment.I was considering that as a play on the safe zone.
The market is unpredictable. So, we need backup by another side.

I'll ask everyone.
Take the situation of more than 70% of the unique users of this forum, how much of them do you think have more than BTC1 in their wallets? Among those who have less than BTC1 of users in this thread alone which theres a lot, they keep saying that diversifying is good. Thats ridiculous its like managing 1 dollar and hope that it will become a million.
The question. Do you think they should diversify or go invest in 1 altcoin?

I would advise everyone to stay from altcoins altogether
Unless you certainly know what you are doing since "risk comes from not knowing what you are doing". Regarding 1 bitcoin specifically, you may stay with just bitcoins and dollars (if we talk about trading, obviously), but that doesn't mean that diversification ends with moving your funds into different assets. In fact, it only starts here. You should "diversify" your bitcoin to a few reliable exchanges (2-3) since any exchange can be hacked (or scam like what Cryptsy did), and this is the systemic risk which you simply can't get rid of if you intend to trade more or less regularly
He other way to do it is to keep all your BTC in cold storage and away from the risk of being stolen if you decide to go all in on BTC. Some altcoins are ok only if you are aware that they dont hold any real utility. If someone is still holding ETH bought from the ICO he would he rich by now.

Hmm if you said it like that it sound's true, if you somehow all in in one thing and need money when your investment is down, then preapare to suffer a huge loss. But it's his fault in the first place if he invest all his money. He should left some in the first place for emergency purpose. Putting all your money in one basket is very risky, if it success then you go big, fail and you lose your asset.

I've done this once and not a very clever move to do. Investing your money in only one crypto could lead to loss once it crashed. You should spread your investment. Not only on one but more crypto. Atleast it will cover your losses once one of your alt crashes. It also the depends on the alt you choose. Make sure you choose a good alt. Me i bought XRP, ETH and Dash. So far, it gives me good profit.
You should really read the OP more since this thread does not tell that going all in on a single investment is good but rather it states a reason, one good reason to why one should not go all in and having some cash left to spend for our lives while waiting for our investment to profit is a wise choice. I hope I don't offend you buy the way you replied I think you didn't read the OP well.

Yeah, I would go along with that, unless you really know what you're doing, stay away from alts.
deisik, I would mildly disagree with one of your points in an above post. Even if you are at a fairly high-level at a company that you might work for, they can still perpetrate fraud with very few knowing. Example: Enron. Diversification can be done, actually advisable because of this "single company risk", which still exists even if you think you "know" the company well.

Putting all our money for just one investment will make our future bleak, many economists advise us to invest in some sort of choice

We will not know what happens in the future so make it a habit not to All-in to invest for vigilance in case of sudden trouble. if you keep choosing All-in you must be prepared with all the risk that will come because what will happen in the future may not be what we want.

Diversification is an old and well-tested strategy when one is into investing money or assets. There are now many assets where we can invest in and that, of course, include the digital asset we know as Bitcoin as well as hundreds of altcoins if you care. Diversify, diversify and diversify. It is all a matter how you diversify or what are the assets that should be included in your basket. It is not good to only go for Bitcoin, of course. In the end, cash will always be the king as it is the most liquid of them all.
To much diversification is not good too. To tell you, the reason why it is not good to make too much diversification is the monitoring and focus. When you have to much in hand, lots of it spill. You cannot hold all market out there. Just keep on diversifying if you feel like you can handle all of them. If not, then better to have a few holdings that you can fully monitor and watch than lots of diversification that you cannot monitor. It will lead to more lost than gain.

When you put all your money into one investment, you are completely depending on the success of that single company.
To me it makes more sense if you spread the risk. Different companies, different economy fields, maybe even different currencies.
I think it is very important that every investor has some kind of safe backup plan from the start, in case something goes not as expected

As the saying goes, you mileage may vary
It basically comes down to how familiar you are with a certain company. For example, if you work for it (and not as a cleaner), you may know its financial status and future prospects. If these are bright, why would you want to buy anything else if you are 100% sure of its success? Let's say you work as a leading scientist for some start-up biotech company and you discovered a cure for cancer that would bring the company billions of dollars. You would most certainly put all your savings into the stocks of this company while they are still cheap as dirt. It is essentially the same with investments in general. You may have 2-3 investments, though you could be perfectly fine with them and certainly better off than someone else mindlessly and blindly dispersing his funds

Investment is risky what more having a single investment and funding all your money it may broke your life if something bad happens in your investment.
That is why you must not invest your money all in, and you are getting worried if something will happen to your investment? invesment will not ensure you profit, you are putting your money on risk, it will not always result a good one. And if you invest all of your money, it will be really making your life worst, you will be ending up a man without money at hand. How will you able to survive a week without money in your hands, you will be borrowing a lot when that happens.
