Always think long term with crypto,using NXT as a case study

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

Sometimes we look down on some cryptocurrencies and just assume they won't make any good value or even get to $1. But sometimes when proper research is made, these coins could make you some cool cash at the end.

Just today I was going through icostats and I just got wondering what would have happened if only I had invested just $100 into NXT in 2013. If I'd had done that, I would have made a gain of about $14,000 minus my capital when 1 NXT got to $1 (last ATH).

I always tell people to invest cash that they can afford to lose. As you can see this NXT was sleeping between 2014 and middle of 2017. That's 3 years + of sleep, but after that 3rd year came great gain. Imagine if that was your savings and you were expecting a good gain in some few months, you would have been disappointed,?

So make sure you invest money you can afford to lose and think long-term when you're dealing with cryptocurrencies.

This analysis was done with icostats, A website that gives you the ROI of different cryptocurrencies and also tells you about different ICOs going on and those coming up.

Make you make proper research before buying any cryptocurrency. It's better to get a tutor to teach you about cryptocurrency investment than going in blindly. DYOR

Well... I'm not a cryptocurrency analyst but under your "mentorship", I'd call it, i have learnt a lot.

When you say

use spare money

I always wondered if there's any money that is spare. But when you started to use the

invest what you can afford to lose

I caught the drift and it's been working.

The growth of Some cryptocurrencies are sometimes based on speculations and that's why we always end up using the "had i known" phrase. But we'd invest nonetheless, with the money we can afford to lose.

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome dear

Most times people are not patient enough to wait that long even with monies they can afford to loose. To think long term in crypto is ectually the best. Nice one @samstickkz

One needs to be patient with these kind of investment

It's good to think long term with crypto, but more important is to diversify one's investment. When you diversify, you won't need to beat yourself down when one CRYPTOCURRENCY is not performing to your expectation. Plus you won't be stranded like most steemians are now with the fall in SBD and steem price.

The fall of sbd has left many stranded. One of the reasons why one needs several sources of income

True.."Invest what you can afford to lose"
Never knew about Crypto until mid last year.
