Topic: What they won't tell you, how to earn even in the bearish market - page 2. (Read 443 times)

This is exactly my concern. There are a few legitimate ones, but they all require a lot of up-front money. It's pretty dangerous just because of how simple it sounds: You buy a lot of coins, and you automatically get rewarded a few more every now and then. It seems like a no-lose situation until the coin you initially purchased plummets to basically zero. And a lot of them do lol.

Basically, the purpose of staking is to help secure the system, not to monetize it. If any PoS coin brands earning as a feature, think twice. You can profit as OP has described, but there are no guarantees -- something that is consistent across the crypto market.

My first ever contribution hope it worth the while

I have always been against buying of coins based solely on hopes. A good browsing of the market and it's situations can help you at least if not completely can reduce your risk factor.

Most individual make the mistake of purchasing coin as a result of FOMO when you really don't understand what triggered the whole frenzy it could probably be born out of sponsored shilling or something unrealistic. But as you rightfully said there are disadvantages of cryptocurrency.
Greed has spored alot of people into early crypto grave always start little and climb the ladder at a good and steady pace.  Well anyone hoping to become a crypto millionaire over night should be warned

Do you really have a coin to suggest?  My personal experience says that whatever they promise in return that they lose in their price with time. Actually no gain in the end.

I prefer having PoS or DPoS coins, since i can't have a pc always running for a masternode, i remember reading on some cindicator quiz that PoS (or DPoS i don't really remember) had outperformed other kind of coins in either August or september

I believe within $200-$500 you can buy into a coin hosting a masternode program (mostly privacy coins) those hefty price you talk about is after a longer period of time, at infant stages most of the masternode are usually cheap looking at the Cashflow and capital gain rewards.
Also there are other coins that don't involves owning a masternode to earn some Cashflow. You're just required to stake for some period of time while other just owning the coin/tokens qualifies you.

I'm not promoting any coin here but a little DYOR will help you in avoiding the scams

Don't most masternode coins require a hefty initial investment though? The point of staking is making sure you have a lot at stake in the network, after all. The masternode market is pretty overrun with scam coins too.

Before I go on, let me seize this opportunity to welcome all newbies to the forum. I know whoever told you or where ever you heard about the profits cryptocurrency has to offers must have been centered on the capital gains that result from hodling a particular coin.

Breakdown of capital gain: buy a coin at a low price, hodl for particular period of time and sell it at a higher price. the difference between your buy and sell price is your gross profit which is your capital gain.
Example: buy coinA at $0.1 hold for some period of time, sell when it raises to $1 = 900% gain. Cool right   ? But there's a big disadvantage, this is more of a gamble why? you buy that fav coin of your only hoping for a rise in price what if it doesn't happen, what if you bought at ATH thinking it was a good buy price and coin just keep on dipping. The advice Hodl will start spreading round, don't get deceived most times if it isn't bitcoin it's not worth it.

Earning through Cashflow: can i earn even in the bear market? yes you can do that by investing (buying) coins that pays you dividends for holding their coins in the form of masternode or proof of staking. Let me break it down with an example. You buy a coinA @ $0.1 stake the coin and receive dividends earning you Cashflow even when the market is down and here is the best part, you also earn capital gain at the end of the day.
The choice is left in your hands you can either invest for capital gain only or invest for both Cashflow and capital gain. Investing in this form is at its minimum so it's more profitable.
