Is Numeraire worth investing in?

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

Hey Steemers!

Numeraire, the currency of the Numerai 'hedge fund' has been trading wildly recently and I'm yet undecided whether it is a coin that's worth investing in (long term)?

I have created an account on there however I must admit to being rather confused as to what it does or has to offer - any enlightenment would be most appreciated :)

Anyway, my main area if interest is trading and this coin definitely seems like a 'trader', the volatility is big which is just what you need to trade profitably and if patience is used there are profits to be had.

In the past week I have made 2 successful trades and as a result I now have 35% more bitcoin then may investment in Numeraire.

I will keep an eye on this coin and continue to dabble on big dips but will wait to see if it is a coin that I want to buy to hold.

My general rule of thumb for a coin like this is:

  1. Pick an amount you want to invest.
  2. Look at the current price.
  3. Choose a level you would be interested in getting involved.
  4. Take another 10% away from that level.
  5. Enter with 20% of your allocation at the level you got to in point 4.
  6. Enter with 30% of your allocation after a further 5% reduction in price.
  7. Enter with the remainder of your allocation after another 5% reduction in price.

Play around with the percentages yourself.

Trading like this I managed to pickup AntShares (NEO) for 0.00175 BTC in it's recent move down :)

The benefits of the above is that the coin has to plummet a lot before you buy, it helps you to find a price at the bottom.

The negatives are that you miss some opportunities.

In my opinion the benefits outweigh the negatives!

Safe trading!

Also... buy low sell high

Sounds like a good strategy. I numer.ai is an interesting investment fund based on ai. I invested a few coins in it. The price went low, so for me it looks like a good investment if you trust the cryptocoins market and ai. They also pay dividents from time to time.

I mentioned numer.ai in this post and I intend to write one only about numerai but mostly from the technical point of view: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@steem-buzz/cryptocurrency-hedge-funds-passive-investing-for-passive-income

Cool, I'll check that out. I'll have a further read of the whole thing :)

Your strategy on investing seems pretty interesting. Dollar-Cost averaging is also something to consider:
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dollarcostaveraging.asp

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investment technique of buying a fixed dollar amount of a particular investment on a regular schedule, regardless of the share price. The investor purchases more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high. The premise is that DCA lowers the average share cost over time, increasing the opportunity to profit. The DCA technique does not guarantee that an investor won't lose money on investments. Rather, it is meant to allow investment over time instead of investment as a lump sum.

Dollar cost averaging is a great idea for buying bitcoin and eth with USD. But how do you use DCA to buy other coins when you have to buy them with bitcoin, and bitcoin is so volatile? You'd have to convert your USD to tether, and then convert it back to bitcoin when you're ready to buy. If you store it as bitcoin you can't do it.

Good article. Interesting to see I'm not the only one that is thinking about this. The biggest group of uneducated investors in mankind has to define the trustworthyness and price of a crypto. It's an interesting world we live in. I found this amazing platform: https://www.coincheckup.com. I'm using this site that gives in depth reports on every tradable cryto in the market.
