I'm currently holding long for btc and well, to be honest, I've already offloaded some of my coins and wait for the right time again to buy back in and hold onto it for too long. Also, I'm currently investing into several promising ICOs to make sure that I'm not lagging behind into some of the profit opportunities out there.

Well investing strategies are like food diets: There is no "best investment strategy" excepts the one that works best for you. Also you dont want to begin a strategy and find that you want to abandon it for some hot new trend you discovered by yourself. You dont need anything expensive all you need something comfortable that will last a long time, especially if your investment objective is for long term method.

The crypto world can become unpredictable sometimes, making our choices of investing into it, a very limited one. From scams to ponzis, there have been many losses from investors, yet making it very difficult to find a reliable investment.

But on the bright side, you could still invest into assets and commodities with your crypto like Gold and Silver. Then, if done right you could profit along the way with a good strategy.

As for me, I only decide to invest into gold (by exchanging BTC to Gold) and into some NXT and BURST assets.

What would be your investment strategy? Please share your tips, advice, or any good strategy you would use to safeguard your crypto investments.  Smiley

I just buy Bitcoin when its market value is low then I'll just hold it for a long period of time. And will only sell it if the price is already high or depending on my situation whether I need to buy something or for emergency purposes. In this way, I am using Bitcoin as an asset and as a currency. This strategy is used by most of the people here in Bitcoin community because the profit is assured to be big since its market value is increasing as time is passing by.

My best strategy when I first started was holding my coins which I still do.
I'm currently trading coins buying the most cheapest coins and sell when the value gets high.

This is the simplest strategy for my opinion, but it is quite effective and does not require any special knowledge or skills, even a schoolboy can cope with it.
Buy low and sell high, that's the basic thing to do to be profitable but it requires timing.
It's better if you are focus with few coins so you can easily monitor the price movement and the reason behind the movement.

I don't really have a strategy that I use. I just buy some Bitcoins every now and then when the price has gone down to hold for the long term. That's all I do at the moment. I am not even trading. It's purely holding what I do. I am so happy with my Bitcoin investment that I never look into any other investment. Bitcoin is more than enough for me as I believe in its full future potential.

Investing in anything which can be a good valuable in future so that would be a great investment in your life

I buy as soon as I can, as much as I can
That's good, don't doubt the potential of bitcoin anymore because we have seen already how successful it is.
Actually there is a dump now and the price is still cheap so see this is an opportunity to increase your total holdings.

My strategy is invest as soon as possible. As you can see if you invested in bitcoin when it was new. You could be now rich, because the prices for bitcoin went up. So i would suggest to invest in bitcoin.
you soundslike gonna invest on a ponzi scheme business , or just gamble. it was not a good strategy at all. do your own research and take a look about the future plan , support, community and many other factor that could increase the business so fast .

in crypto you could take a look to ethereum where they have made several cooperation with big company and it makes them promising to grow in the future.

I think the best investment strategy is to invest in something stable. Though it will be a little income at first atleast you know that it will last longer. Invest in something that you also want to work of. Invest in what you enjoy doing.

You don't really expect people to tell you strategies that actually work, do you?
they will not tell you about their strategies and how they will earn more in tradings. because trading is a risky way of to double your money .

I see your point, but I don't consider what I said to be contradiction. First of all, I was speaking only in regards to stocks, which do not comprise 100% of my investments. I also own bonds, real estate, and crypto as well as short-term notes. The diversification was only in respect to the equity portion of my investments.

So I suppose there are two types of diversification, and I was speaking about the smaller set. There's diversification across investment types (what the asset is: stock, bond, real estate, commodity, crypto, etc.) and there's diversification across industries which is most commonly (but not exclusively) used in relation to equity investing. If you're invested 50% in stocks and 25% in bonds and 25% in real estate, and all your stocks are in one industry, I wouldn't consider that diversified. You could be well-diversified inside crytpo (10% across 10 different coins) but equating 100% of your investments and I wouldn't consider that diversified in the larger sense either, since crypto by and large is dominated by btc, and whatever btc does it for the most part drags every other coin with it. In equity investing, there are defensive stocks that perform better in recessions than growth stocks which are very dependent on good economic conditions. So there are several ways to get at diversification, but in each case it's going to depend on the facts of the case. I would say a general way to put it is you're diversified if a general event doesn't impact all your investments at the same time. (Exceptions for catastrophic market events, which will drop everything, because you can never be diversified to the point where you never experience losses.)

As to me, this kind of diversification doesn't make a lot of sense for an individual

Note that I specifically point this out since a big investment company (like Berkshire Hathaway) is a totally different matter (obviously, they have quite a few of different individuals). Diversification, as I understand it, serves for profit multiplication at a certain level of risk. If you are looking for capital preservation, you buy gold, and that's pretty much it. Since no one can learn and understand any asset perfectly, it makes sense to invest in no more than 3-4 assets (as I told before) while learning these assets as deep as possible, otherwise you will be wasting time and energy mindlessly shuffling your money between different assets with no real purpose

I suppose I'm on the other side then, as I completely see the point of diversifying.  Diversification is mainly about risk management.  Investing is about trying to increase wealth, which is essentially taking on risk in pursuit of future reward.  In the pursuit of this reward, if you put all your investment eggs in one basket, and that basket breaks, you're ruined.  Diversification across investments (or industries) is about making sure that if one of your ideas proves wrong, it doesn't end up in you losing all your money.

Necessarily, diversification likely lowers overall return because it forces you to invest in other areas instead of putting all your money in your "best" investment idea to protect against the possibility that that single idea proves wrong.  If you were simply trying to maximize returns, you would identify your best idea, and sink all your money into it.  You wouldn't diversify to try and make money, but to protect you from the some of the risk as you try to make money by taking on risk.  Because diversification's aim is risk management, if you just wanted to swing for the fences regardless of risk, you wouldn't diversify at all.  That doesn't matter if you're a large corporation or an individual investor.  Though large corporations have more money to lose by not diversifying, the money lost by 
an individual is more meaningful per dollar because it is so much less.

So as an individual investor, I fully embrace the need to diversify.
Spreading money across different investment types and industries is meant to decrease the likelihood that you lose everything due to a catastrophe

You are again confused about your purposes and means to achieve them

And it shows through. You end your endless post with the words about decreasing the chances that you lose everything due to some disaster. But if that really were your ultimate aim, you would have put your wealth (at least, the part which you don't want to lose no matter what) in gold and get done with that. Otherwise, you are diversifying for profits, as simple as it gets. Indeed, as a smart investor you might understand something about risks, i.e. you understand that investing in highly speculative assets will likely cause severe losses, but that doesn't take anything from my point. You are still diversifying for the purpose of earning more money, not for the purpose of just preserving your wealth. These are the two ends of the same stick

Actually, I do not even have such a strategy. It is just so happen that for me to be able to adopt into bitcoin cryptocurrency is I adapt with the movement of its price by going to the flow in which I buy bitcoin on price dump and sell those I have bought when the price pumps. I also keep on saving my earnings and somehow use a little bit of it into investment purposes.

Don't follow the pack. Do what you believe in or at least try. Be curious and try to look from different perspectives + be ethical

My strategy is a bit risky for a rational investor.
Here is my investment strategy :

1. Buy Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, NEO(I'm sure that Chinese will back their own cryptocurrency), and Monero at the same percentage (this is for long term).
2. Buy these hyped up coins, sell when they are pumped.
3. Buy old hyped coins (after they have been dumped) and hold for a few months.
4. Reinvest all the profits made in trading to BTC, LTC, ETH, NEO, and XMR.
5. Repeat.
*Don't involve your emotions in trading and investing.

I know it's risky but I'm young and I'm going to give it all into crypto while I can.

I like your strategy. Though, I wouldn't touch neo (antshares) with a 10 foot poll. Neo is still super bloated right now.

Pump and dump coins always seem to be repumped after enough time so I think the idea of gathering old hyped coins are a good idea.

You are young but you have very god analysis of the crypto market and I am sure in the coming years you are going to be an expert in this field probably running your own exchange or website regarding cryptos. I am impressed that you know the key principle of the trading i.e. not to involve emotions.

Everything looks good when you put it down on paper, but this "strategy" isn't any different than someone proclaiming they're going to be good at investing because they plan to "buy low, sell high." Obviously, that's everyone's strategy.  

'Buy hyped up coins and sell when they are pumped.' That is literally everyone's strategy when it comes to these garbage coins. If you can't do anything to actually manipulate the market (like the whales have the ability to do), you're just trying to ride the waves they make like everyone else, and what makes you think you're going to be so much better at it than them? If it's worked in the past, it's luck, not strategy. It's like someone shooting dice and winning money and bragging about how good they are at rolling seven, when the fact of the matter is nothing you're doing is in your control.

Since some banks are actively participated in exploration of initiating digital currency into their system, people will get use to gauge first then join once understood. For investment, it could come up with: long-term and short-term investment.

Long-term investment involves buying of related coins (such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, NEO) and then hold it up for trading. Others will consider to just put all over bitcoin generated from staking or mining, or even trading until consume for one good valid reason.

Short-term would definitely investing for a month then consume then invest again for another then consume.

The difference is that there is a long run in long-term, on the literal basis.
