Hey steemians..
Preface
Its been 4 days since the crypto market has been in the mud and while i normally don't make a post about cryptocurrencies, i was rather inclined (or forced) to make one after reading some of the most depressing posts / comments from other steemians. For instance:-
This is it. Thats the last of crypto market.
My portfolio is down in toilet. Why did i ever invest in cryptos.
Told ya that it won't last long. The bubble is about to burst...
And blah blah blah
Why do we always have to create mayhem over nothing? Our impulsiveness often gets the best of us and no good can come out of this.. trust me..
The agenda of writing this post is twofold:-
To broaden the vision of people regarding crypto trading
To inculcate some basic tricks and tips of crypto investment amongst my fellow steemians and how you can make the most out of market crash.
Lets Begin...
Crypto Trading
Cryptos Are Not For the Faint of Heart
Yes.. thats the first condition of crypto investment.. if you cannot handle the losses, you should not invest in cryptos. This is not a one way street whereby your portfolio keeps going up. It has to come down too. Thats the natural order of the things.Learn the difference between Crash and Correction
This is one of the very important aspects of crypto trading. You must learn the difference between a crash and a correction..Normally people understand that if market goes down by a little factor, it is to be considered as correction.. and if it falls hard into the ground well below its average value then it is a crash..
Don't panic over market corrections and don't utter non-sense when market is crashing..
I didn't see people complaining when cryptos were on a bullish run in upward trajectory about 15-20 days ago. Why complain now? Keep calm.. anything that goes down, goes up again too..
Invest Money That You Can Afford To Lose
Thats a good advice for any type of investment. Do not put all of your eggs in one basket.. chances are that you will leave the place without any eggs.. Do not invest everything that you have in cryptos. Keep the investment to a point where losing it all won't hurt you..Patience Is The Key
Patience is of paramount importance if you are dealing in cryptos. You have to understand that this is a world wide decentralised market.. cryptos are being traded all across the world at all times and you cannot possibly look in all directions to get the best out of everything. Have some patience when you buy a coin and trust the blockchain technology..Cryptos Are Long Term Investment
If you want to become a millionaire in 2 days, please rob a bank instead.. you will have better chance this way. You must understand that while cryptos sometimes pose a bullish upward trend, the corrections and crashes always happen. And if you keep buying and selling with the market flow, you will end up losing all of your money... Join the HODL group and you will meet success down the road..Tips and Tricks When Market Crashes
Buy more. You read it right. Maximize your future profits by buying more during a crash.. Consider this as nature giving you a fair chance to take a trip to your missed out windows.
Don't Panic Sell. There is a famous saying that you haven't lost anything unless you actually sell your investment for loss.. show some patience and mother nature shall reward you back.
Buy the same coin during crash that you bought at its high to reduce your invested price for more profit.
Imagine buying 1 Litecoin at 200$ and then the market crash happens to put Litecoin at 100$. Instead of selling it at 100$, if you buy one more at 100$, you will have 2 Litecoins as if you have bought them at 150$ each.
Conclusion
Market crashes happen all the time specially in crypto world owing to its 24 hours worldwide trading and volatility. Please don't despair or spread depression all around. My own portfolio went from 2000$ to 1200$ and i am still peach because i am Hodling and i am Hodling for life..
Good things will come eventually.
Best wishes
JBN

I agree with you. Crypto is not for a weak-hearted people. Those who complain are people who don't know what they doing and just jump-in without doing their due diligence. But anyways, this post of @jbn have important information for people who just started out to invest in cryptocurrency. Kudos to you @jbn for this awesome post.

This is sound advice for anyone just now entering the market. It can be a painful experience seeing your portfolio in the red day after day but if you trust that you have invested in sound projects you will be okay. Thanks for sharing.

Exactly.. actually the crypto market has been flooded with people who dont even know what a blockchain is. They think that this is some sort of quick money making pothole and these bullish upward trends and bullish crashes happen because of such people.
Thank you for the comment mate :)

Fully agree to this post. Crypto investing is not for the faint-hearted. These advice are applicable to any kind of markets out there. Be it stocks, commodities or bonds, never panic sell and be patient.
For any kind of investments, we should always have a target price in mind. If there is no fundamental change to your investments, then you should stick to your game plan. During such corrections, I treat it as an opportunity to average down and position your hodlings for more earnings later.

I wish I knew some of these things when I started working with cryptocurrencies.
"Invest Money That You Can Afford To Lose"
This has to be one of the best advice you can give to someone who's just starting.
You've got to bear in mind that losing money is a possibility.
"Maximize your future profits by buying more during a crash."
This is what I actually just did.
When I make some money from an investment, I pay like 20% of the profit and save that money for the dips to buy it at a cheaper price.
