Common Crypto Investing "Strategies" for Altcoins and Why People Love The Simplicity of Them

Investing in cryptocurrencies isn't easy when it comes to doing proper research. So often times, people latch on to simplistic strategies or reasoning behind why they put loads of money into a crypto. Let's talk about some of the most common reasons people fall in love investing into a specific crypto asset and why it's important for you to understand these reasons.

Reasons and buzzwords people throw money into a cryptoasset:

  1. The “next” and “better” Bitcoin, Ethereum or top 10 coin
  • More transactions per second, a new type of blockchain, cheaper/no fees, etc
  • The Ethereum of XYZ country
  1. Privacy, privacy, privacy

  2. Partnerships with large existing companies (Microsoft, IBM, Disney, EEA, etc)

  3. A decentralized competing version of an existing company/application

  4. 2nd-3rd time crypto founders

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them in the comments as well!

Good stuff @cryptobobby, keep up the great work!

What are your thoughts on the growing number of platforms that are starting to gain steam... ETH vs NEO vs ADA vs ICON vs EOS vs ... Do you think there is room in the space for all them to succeed or do you think that in the end only one will survive in the long run? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm pretty big on the platforms.. I don't think all of them will succeed, but I think there is a pretty long time frame until we figure out who the 1-2 winners will be.

Right now the obvious winner is Ethereum, but it's running into scalability issues and the window is open for a competitor to gain market share.

@cryptobobby My money is on Cardano cracking the scalability issue with their brainpower...
P.S. Love the show (despite your horrendous taste in liquor #sorrynotsorry ;-) )

Great stuff as always bobby!

Thanks man, appreciate it!

The material is really good,I'm a little invested in ripple I think this coin has a future.

what exchange do you guys go threw

For buying Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) with fiat, I use GDAX. When buying alts, I have been buying ETH from GDAX and transfering it over to Binance. Another option, at least for U.S. users would be to buy with fiat through Gemeni.

I'm still trying to figure out the very basics... Good tips ... This month it has seemed like everything is glittering as gold, but 2018 will be very intriguing to see winners vs. losers.

I agree with you, it's been a crazy month with so many altcoins pumping but 2018 should be a verryyy interesting year

Bonne journée :-D

Most important thing in investing is doing proper research, nothing else can replace that. Knowing what kind of currencies are booming, knowing the uses of the currencies etc. If you do a good amount of research you will always make more than anyone who doesn't.

If your investing long term it pays to do the research and read the white papers . Also think in 5 - 10 years time. Will this coin be a gimmick that sounded cool or will it have real utility?

Think of the IT boom in the 2000s. A lot of companies came up with ideas that sounded good at the time but when the crash happened, all the gimmicky companies faded.

Thanks for kind information. Really fantabulous.
