I am at a point in my my young life where I need to make a decision about my finances. I have a good amount of money saved up in my Robinhood account, and I have been putting it in the stock exchange, making a steady but positive return. Keyword here is positive. I am very conflicted right now because I think I can earn more money trading cryptocurrencies, but the risks are so much greater.
good for you mate but absolutely you are correct trading investment in cryptocurrency is have much greater risk, and right decisoin for your money investing into stock exchange become profitable but be careful you need to monitor your unvestment from time to time to avoid losing of your money.
I have a couple good alt-coins in mind that I would like to buy, but don't have the capital because it's all tied up in stocks. Also, is there even a reputable enough exchange that I can put ~$50,000 in and not worry about it getting hacked or stolen? I mean, with stocks, if in the off chance that my account gets hacked, they still need verification before money can be sent, and my money is ensured by the government. With cryptocurrencies, once it's sent, I have zero chance of getting it back.
do not push yourself to put much to invest in cryptocurrency, the risk using online exchange wallet is still have a risk if you didn't know to protect your investment alway take care of your privatekeys.
What should I do. Should I move all my money from stocks to cryptocurrencies? And if I do, which exchanges are reputable enough? I currently use Binance and have only $1000 in there.
as i said above do not push yourself to invest much into cryptocurrency small amount you can start to invest become profitable you need to save for daily needs, binance as i heard are have good reputable online exchange using for trading job.
As for your exchange question, yes of course. There's a couple good reputable exchanges out there such as Binance, Bittrix, etc. Your worry about hacking is unnecessary. I know for Binance, even before you can log into your account to see the balances, you have to have 2FA enabled. If you try to withdraw any currency for any amount, you have to input the right password, 2FA, and also it sends a confirmation link to your registered email account.
No need to worry about putting large amounts of money on exchanges.
