The Crypto Crash of 2022 was a wake-up call for many. It was primarily a shock to those investors who were in the market for quick money and did not foresee the dramatic nature of the crypto universe. That said, there is still hope as many continue to stake their resources in many cryptocurrencies. But this time they are more cautious than ever – which is a good thing. The crash taught us that the risk is real, and one must recognize and understand it before betting.
The crypto universe is continuously evolving. Various actors, large and small, collectively and individually drift up and down in the market. The inherent volatility of the market, combined with security and regulatory concerns, is already influencing the decision of investors. However, this should not mean that the existing investments in the market are wasted. What would be a waste, however, is thoughtlessness in investment. Today we will explore the areas where investors must orient their focus. A few things investors should refrain from doing while investing in the market are written down below.
- Investment without research
Impulsive investors are everywhere, but they’re especially rampant in the crypto space. The illusion of quick returns blinds informationally ill-equipped investors who pour their money into crypto assets without research. It is very common to find people investing in the market based on rumours. Someone told them about crypto scaling and coining money for investors and they believed that information.
You should understand that the crypto space is unregulated. It attracts attention from investors because it is decentralized and unregulated. As a result, it is very challenging to predict the mood of the market. Anything, literally anything, can affect the flow of the market. So you should be doubly concerned about where you invest. Do your independent research and form an opinion. - Pay too much attention to the noise
No one can deny that the crypto market is characterized by a lot of noise. As I mentioned earlier, it is extremely volatile, so anything, even an otherwise innocuous tweet, can turn the market on its head. Some bigwigs will talk something about a crypto coin; It will jump up in value, people will want to buy it, and boom, the value nose-dives because the noise was temporary. There is always too much buzz around cryptos, but that doesn’t mean you should get carried away. If a cryptocurrency is witnessing a jump, you need to find out why it is undergoing such a change. - Enter everything you have
I think the fundamental investment problem in cryptocurrencies revolves around impulsivity. Since the crypto market is uncontrolled, there is too much drama here. People will mainstream success stories of investors who invest heart and soul into these digital assets and pave the way for wealth and growth. The publicity manipulates inexperienced investors into making really bad financial decisions. Just risk the amount that wouldn’t hurt you that much if it’s gone – because there’s no guarantee what can happen here. The fanfare surrounding crypto profits is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much going on here. - Don’t spread your investment
A standard investment trick is to spread your money across different assets. Essentially, you need to create and grow a diversified portfolio of cryptos. You need to research well, shortlist the cryptos for investment, invest proportionally across those cryptos, and leave them be. This way, a drop in one coin may not be so bad because the other coins may not lose or increase in value. A dampening effect is in place through this strategy that has worked well for cautious, prudent investors. As they say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
