All you need to have a well-defined strategy. In this way, instead of acting on your emotion, you will have an effective plan backing your decisions. When it comes to working on each type of investment, nothing will help you better than well-defined strategies.

Your risks should be diversified in this manner:

60% — stable low volatile actives

10% — high risks active (cryptocurrency is here)

Riskier smaller projects:

The smaller projects are the technologies still in development process so that they can reach their potential gains.

Strategies For Bitcoin And Cryptocurrency Investors

Investing in highly volatile bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies is risky business. These currencies are all electronic or virtual in nature, and thus have no physical presence. They don’t even have intrinsic value. However, no one can deny that right now these cryptocurrencies are extremely valuable and those who invested in the early days, and held on to their investments, are living the high life now as multi-millionaires, and even billionaires!

If you want to be like these wise investors sometime in the future, then follow these 4 investing strategies to increase your chances for success.

1 – Prepare For Volatility

It’s basically a given for cryptocurrencies that they are going to be extremely volatile. One minute the price is sitting at 5 digits, and the next it’s at 4 or even 3 digits! It’s absolutely unpredictable, and if you don’t take its volatility seriously, you could get in a lot of trouble. You could panic and sell off your crypto so you can minimize your loss.

However, if you’ve braced yourself for scenarios like this, then you’d probably just shut down your computer, or turn off your TV, and lie down and sleep off your doubts. Tomorrow is a different day, the price could go back up, and all will be fine with the world. Being prepared for volatility is tough, but it’s definitely doable.

2 – Proceed With Caution

Do your research before you start investing in bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. When you’re dealing with hard-earned money, you don’t want to lose everything in one day. You’re investing to make a profit sometime in the future. Don’t go all in without studying what you’re putting your money into.

3 – Diversify Your Portfolio

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. Don’t just invest in bitcoins. If possible, invest in other cryptocurrencies as well as traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. At least if bitcoin prices drop, then you’re not going to be totally in the red. Your other investments will help keep you afloat.

4 – Store Your Virtual Coins In Cold Wallets

Investing is a long-term game, and it is not advisable to keep your cryptocurrencies in online wallets such as your exchange’s wallet, or even your mobile app wallet. Keep your private keys in cold wallets such as paper or hardware wallets since these aren’t connected to the Internet. You can keep small amounts in your online wallets, but the bulk of your investments should be offline.
