On June 17, 2017, when this theme was created, the GOLOS coin cost $0.1161 (0.00004652 BTC) and now, after 2 years, this coin costs $0.006 (0.0000006 BTC). This example shows us that we don’t need to invest all our money in one single coin, if this coin is not Bitcoin.

Yes, it may have been a very expensive lesson to OP, hope he've learned it.

So, OP did you sold on a double or did you hold till now?

It was a good call, just not for long term.

Feeling sorry for the OP.

Golos belong to one of the hundred tokens that reflect a business model with a dubious future.

When I read the comments, I realize that many people don't distinguish coins from tokens.

Bitcoin acts as a store of value. It gains traction as many people read about it in the press now.
Mona can become the Japanese Bitcoin. It gains value too.
Vert coin is an answer to a centralized Bitcoin and has the best tech specs around. That's why it gains value.

Most tokens are based on business models that are yet to prove valuable.
Be careful when you go for alts, especially tokens.

I agree with the other answers - its very risky putting all your money in one coin? A crazy Strategy. Either you are just trying to hype this up and pump it or you really do believe in it , either way, spread your risk.
I learned this sentence from this forum of not putting all your eggs in one basket and now I have learnt what it actually meant. This is really important in investing or trading any coin. Before getting into field you must have to learn the whole and sole of that coin whether that is suitable for you or not. Once decided, be confident, but don’t just trust that blindly.

Sure, like this ''idiot'' that put his live savings into Bitcoin when it was $9 http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/

You are lucky if you buy a lottery ticket and win the lottery, but if you have specific and clear reasons to invest in a project you were not lucky you were a very good investor, I’m sure that when my investment skyrockets my friends will probably think the same but that is nothing but a self defense mechanism to protect themselves of their own failures.

my thoughts exactly  Smiley
I know that I may sound harsh to some, but it is the truth, my friends are very risk adverse and they prefer to play it safe but I have told them that the only way to make something out of you is by taking risks, I know that I can lose money by investing in crypto but I’m fine with that as long as I have the chance of making money as well.

I guess you've heard the news about Russian launching its own crypto currency?

https://pakwired.com/russia-to-launch-its-own-cryptocurrency-the-cryptoruble/

Personally I think the crypto ruble is a bunch of BS, its just the government pretending they are doing new things to track taxes and money.

HOWEVER! Look at it from the public relations side for Golos. If the Russian government is talking about launching their own crypto, Golos is going to get FAR more media coverage in the Russian media! And that is only going to be good for the Golos price.

One thing to consider is platforms like Steemit need a userbase to thrive since a lack of activity is boring so it isn't just a linear calculation of this many users should equal a certain market cap. It is a compounding effect.

Yes good point. Unfortunately nothing in crypto is black and white. But if you look at the content of Steemit now vs even 4-5 months ago, its better.

Also, I've noticed on Youtube that some channels are encouraging people to subscribe / comment on videos through Steemit instead of Youtube. This has only started recently. Youtube have started filtering a lot of content and its really making a lot of Youtube channels angry.

My basic thesus is Steemit is go to growing but Golos will grow faster. We'll see...

PovertyByte is referring to a well known concept of network effects: the more users a platofrm has, the more valuable it is for everyone in the system. Think of facebook or ebay. The thing is, it is really hard to start with a business model like this. That is why I find PovertyByte's comment correct: this is no linear game, it is very much a compounding effect that you should be thinking of. Which means it takes a long time to get started and get some traction.

Obviously I know nothing about this project - but why cant you just use Russian language on Steem? Or perhaps partner with the Steem guys to set up a Russian division of Steem? That way you could perhaps tap into their already existing Russian speaking base.

Anyway, be careful with investment decisions like this Smiley

What already existing Russian user base on Steem?

Thats one reason why Golos was launched - there was none.

Plus by being Russian focused they appeal to a specific market

You presented it so well providing us with informations you gathered and some links, Good Job. But just a tip, you should never ever invest in just 1 coin specially to an alt coin. Yes it's good to invest in it because it looks promising but coins are volatile so there are chances that it might fall or fly.

Golos pumping again in volume and price when BTC and most alts are falling



this happened last week to.

It Bittrex there is currently 36 BTC of buy orders, way higher than normal

Shows there is more confidence in the market than most think

I don't know who's buying, I assume some big Russian investors.

I think Golos might do Russia what Monacoin did last week in Japan.

Any opinion on why GOLOS vs GBG? Seems to be an even more extreme jump in volume on GBG

Interesting. Golos hits nearly record trade volumes and shoots up nearly 40% in a day.

And yet most people commenting on this thread only talk about eggs and baskets.

The OP is getting rich whilst ignoring the investment advice of wannabe Warren Buffets

Make that 40%  Cheesy

I'm more interested in the spike in volume though. Its a great sign for Golos, especially as other alt coins are falling and BTC is rising

Golden rule - Never put all your eggs in one basket. Try to remember this!
It is incredible how people forget this simple lesson, and this applies not only to bitcoin and altcoins but to everything, most people have most of their net worth in their houses when the real estate bubble busted many people lost all what they had, if they instead bought a cheaper home paid it in full and saved the rest in gold or something, they will still have been affected by the crisis but they will be in a better financial shape than those that invested everything in their houses.

Whenever you see someone claiming to go all in into an investment or encouraging you directly to put all your savings or whatever in to a project! That should be a red flag!  There is no guarantee for anything, only time and perssive value make all difference in any endavour! I will not be the reason why somebody will lose money. So I will not encourage anybody to go all in into anything.
