Topic: What class of an investor are you? - page 12. (Read 2270 times)

For now I am still a research investor because every investment I make is always careful in making decisions, because not all coins that we investors will always give profits there are many things we have to learn if it is suitable then will participate in the project, and my goal is also to become a rich trader because they are very good at choosing coins that want to be invested and can always give profits because they  Already so experienced and have high knowledge.

You know if you are here in the cryptocurrency industry as an investor, you should know that it is not discussed here what type or class of investors you are.

You should know how to choose when you will use the investment capital you have. Even if you know what kind of investor you are if you don't know how to know if the coins or tokens you are going to buy are legitimate or not, this good question you made on this topic will do nothing. Because for me the number one thing you should do first and do is learn the right steps in Do your own research.

According to the OP's quote, I may have been all of this myself, although I don't really care how much it affects, I find the experience gives us the right perspective. about the financial market, how to gain profit as well as use that profit more usefully for the surrounding life.
Right now I don't spend too much time researching or analyzing everything in the financial markets, I also keep some investment portfolios but I really don't pay much attention to how it will turn out over time. Next time, maybe this is not a profit goal for me either.

This is my category, I always do my research thoroughly before investing into any projects, it doesn't matter to me if it's the trending project or technology that everyone is rushing to buy because of the marketing that has been done and people mistaking it for the quality of the project. I always carry out deep research and it has made me miss out on some opportunity.

I'm not bothered by the missed opportunity since my over researching on a project prevents me from falling to scammers and there are many scam projects in the market with some having very high market capitalization and big trading volumes, dyor isn't a bad advise to always follow.

I think I'm more into number 3, namely as a research investor, although sometimes I'm too focused on doing research so that in the end I will only return to invest in the old coin, so I only add what I have before, because the research I do sometimes can't be sure which coin or type an investment that will be good in the future, so rather than making the wrong decision, sticking to the old one is much better in my opinion than choosing an investment so that it ends in regret because of the losses you get.

You are absolutely right, that is what research is really needed before making a decision, because actually investing is not only about profitable but also securing our fiat money which will decrease in value day by day due to inflation and saving it in the bank will not save our money from decreasing in value so investing is the way to go to reduce losses due to inflation

In investing there is no guarantee that you will continue to get profits, there are certain unexpected things that can reduce the value of your investment. I don't know what class I'm in, maybe you can judge from the way I explained to put me in the Class of Investors to the best of your understanding.

Before deciding to invest, thorough research is needed. This is in line with my main goal, in investing, no one wants to lose their money. When I feel the time is not right to enter, I prefer to stay silent while waiting. Whatever I do is based on the main goal, if you are in doubt about market conditions, you don't need to listen to what other people are saying.

Absolutely true and I can attest to this. The people here in my country was once being hypnotized with a different kind of ponzi schemes somewhere around 2019 and 2020. If the government didn't put a stop on it, a lot more people could've lost their money. However, the people doesn't seem to understand it as they think it was a legitimate investment because it's "paying" and they ignore the fact that it's sustainability is in a huge question.
Regardless, of the warnings the government have made to the public against these ponzi schemes, still a lot of people here are willing to become a victim just to make that easy money.


I also fall into this category. I am the type of person who does not easily trust a certain investment unless I've done my research and see something promising about it, this is the same reason why I've missed some opportunities in the past as I was not convinced with those type of investments (non-crypto). 

Investors in ponzi schemes are because they always think about profits while ignoring risks and also losing money, this type of person always wants to get rich quickly through the ponzi scheme offered.

In the past, I did research on projects to be invested in and this was on altcoins which often failed which made me keep losing money, in the end I had to decide to stop and not invest in altcoins at all.
In contrast to Bitcoin there is no need for research, you can only manage how to grow the investment here and also have patience long enough to make a profit.

This job requires additional skills, I do not meet this requirement but I know how to trade with extensive experience giving a pretty good profit on what is traded.

Almost everyone is like that now. Especially if those who have previously experienced loss as a result of making careless decisions without doing research first, surely at this point this has become a very valuable experience and will never repeat the same mistake on another occasion. So the average investor who has experienced loss in the past will not immediately make a hasty decision before actually doing research. Or before actually finding facts that can convince them to invest in the product they are looking at or in the product that others are offering them at this time.

Probably the researcher investor 'coz it is money we are talking about and ofcourse not all people could actually endure losses, therefore it is not surprising to know that most of us are reading and researching about something we are interested with, to invest. It is simply our way to reduce the risk of losing and also to avoid ponzi or fraudalent projects. But I think there is another type of investor; ride the hype. Sometimes we tend to invest on things which are quite making a noise in this industry and results are most of the time positive. This is because of popularity which creates a demand. Just happens that projects of such are only good in short run.

Obviously you are a researcher type even though you are a new investor.  Being an investor can be a mixed of the given class, you can be a newbie but do your diligent research before investing, while I think I already passed the newbie investors and now just a researcher investor. I always take my time and try to know details about the market I get interested with.  I always wanted to get involved in a long term investment that is why I like researching the fundamental market of the investment I wanted to venture.

This is the kind of investor I fall in. I learnt from the first investment I did in my life, I assumed it was something that can give me cool money,  I never had any experience or make any research to know about it, I just assumed so fast it will be something I could do. But it thought me to get knowledge in every investment I choose to go into. I don't just assume I can come out good if I should go into any investment,  I make research first to get every firsthand information about what I am investing into. I think this investing method is good , it helps one to get to know every risk that one will have to face.

So far, as long as I am involved in the world of investing, I might categorize myself into the third point (research investor). Why do I categorize myself into the third point, because the first and second points have been passed.
I am now at the point of always being careful in making decisions and always researching before making decisions after everything I've been through in the investment world.

I'm thinking. Is there any investor out there who has the mindset like this?

I mean doing it once or twice is still ok, but to having a thinking of "investing into get rich-quick schemes" consistently? Well, maybe these are the risk takers. They are the ones who has lots of money to invest into different ponzi scams out there to the point that there are already many signs that it's a ponzi, and yet they choose to invest into it "hoping" that they can get money still thru it.

Maybe I'll just put myself into these 2 types since it's the closest to what I am right now.

Researcher investor. In my years of investing, it didn't came to a point where I decided not to invest into something I didn't spend my time with. Since I'm more of a semi-conservative investor, and not very aggressive, TBH I'm not spending too much time to do some research compare to some others out here because the projects that I'm investing my money with have been there for many years already and somewhat "established".

Wealthy trader. The first word alone isn't applicable to me TBH. I've made some profitable investments already like my Cardano holdings for example where even though we entered in a bear market last year, I'm still in profit because I bought ADA lower than it's lowest price in 2022. I'm not knowledgeable as well, but I might have some experience already since I've been investing for years already. Expertise? Nahhh I don't have that as well.

OP, from experience, I have come to realize that there is no investor on earth that does not research on the investment he or she wants to go into. Be it a private or a public investment, investors are someworth curious of their investments and who is in charge of it so as to be sure of their funds or assets.

If I may ask, do you just wake up one morning and decide to sink funds into an investment you have no knowledge about? See, even though the business is lucrative, one must be sure of what they are investing into even the richest billionaires do that.
Why do you think they hold series of meetings before they finally come to terms of signing agreement bond or Memorandum of Understanding.

I think most of us are researched investors however not all of us have the correct way of researching or correct way to finalize what to do after a research. Most of this group think research is finding the coin which everyone else is buying or creating a hype about. However reality is research is reading about the project itself. Thinking how can it benefit the blockchain community and therefore picking out how can it grow and benefit you as well. So I think there are two sub categories under researched investors. Actual researchers and hype followers.

I am neither any of these to be honest. If I may even add to that list even though there's an attached link in the OP, I would consider myself "Chill Investor" as I am just that investor who would just leave a few dollars to Bitcoin then just call it a month or even a year depending on my personal goal and my time constraints. Back then I was like a day trader but I won't go back to that ever again for various reasons.
I was also like a research investor when I was learning altcoins, but then I quit when many ICOs ended up a scam in 2017.

They're indeed more common than you think. It's just that people won't admit that they're also participating in MLM. It's quite common here in my country even outside crypto like one of those recruiters for their projects would reach out to you that you just don't need to invest that much to earn by a certain amount. Quite tempting, but you're screwing yourself in the end when you do give in to the tempting offer.

Researcher investor is the one that gets closer to what I consider myself to be. There are Coins which I have researched about sometimes and I never invest in, of course, I am talking about well established projects, no shitcoins.

Also, I would like to point out that not long ago, I thought that the ponzi scheme investors were relatively rare, I assume most of the people who participated in those scams were unknowingly victims , but in reality there are a lot of participants who get into them fully aware that it is a scam and only seek to time their entry and exit to profit off the losses of others. Crazy stuff.  Some are even delusional enough to convince themselves that they are getting money off scammers, instead other people like them. 

I won't classify Ponzi schemers as investors my reason is because the reward the get from their investment is not always guaranteed and when the scheme folds the victim might return to a state worst than how they were before investing. This set of persons cannot be  regarded as investors they are simply risk takers or another form of gamblers.

Every investor should be a researcher because it is the building block of good choice of investment and proper investment planning. Wealthy investors are good researchers, It is either they do the research themselves or the pay experts to conduct this research before putting in their money into such investments.

If I carefully consider the categories of investors you have listed, I am certain that I fall under the research investor category. I will refer to myself as a researcher investor because whenever I want to invest in any type of business, I always do extensive research to help me avoid choosing the wrong company or location.So now should I consider investors who made a good return after investing a small sum of money as wealthy traders or new investors?but according to your points I may say it fall under category of wealthy traders.
