Common Crypto Investing "Strategies" for Altcoins and Why People Love The Simplicity of Them

Investing in cryptocurrencies isn't easy when it comes to doing proper research. So often times, people latch on to simplistic strategies or reasoning behind why they put loads of money into a crypto. Let's talk about some of the most common reasons people fall in love investing into a specific crypto asset and why it's important for you to understand these reasons.

Reasons and buzzwords people throw money into a cryptoasset

1. The “next” and “better” Bitcoin, Ethereum or top 10 coin
- More transactions per second, a new type of blockchain, cheaper/no fees, etc
- The Ethereum of XYZ country

2. Privacy, privacy, privacy

3. Partnerships with large existing companies (Microsoft, IBM, Disney, EEA, etc)

4. A decentralized competing version of an existing company/application

5. 2nd-3rd time crypto founders

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them in the comments as well!

BTC Testing $16,000 - Bitcoin Crypto Market Losing "Dominance" Not a Bad Thing?

Bitcoin is currently hovering at $15,850, just shy of $16,000. If Bitcoin can strongly break $16,000, will the Bitcoin parabolic move continue to advance?

How to Create a Diversified Crypto Portfolio by Asset Sector

If you're new to cryptocurrency/cryptoassets and you're trying to put together a portfolio of assets, in this video I talk about how to create a diversified crypto portfolio by asset sector. While diversification in crypto can be a "loose" term, it can also help you capitalize on gains in the long-run from pumping coins.

As always, I am not a registered financial adviser and the purpose of this video is to encourage you to do your own research and make informed decisions on your own.

A sample of creating a diversified crypto portfolio by asset sector:

Crypto Asset #1: Bitcoin (or Bitcoin Cash if you're into that)

Crypto Asset #2: Platform type cryptoasset - Ethereum, EOS, Cardano, NEO, Qtum, Lisk, etc

Crypto Asset #3: Privacy cryptoasset - Monero, ZCash, Verge, Nav, etc

Crypto Asset #4: Decentralized Exchange - OX, Kyber Network, BitShares

Crypto Asset #5: One Moon Shot or Favorite Coin - Whatever you like

Chasing Crypto Gains, Market ADD and Bitcoin "Obsession"

Speculative investing in cryptocurrencies can be a ton of fun (and highly profitable), but it also leads to chasing gains over and over. Especially for newbies in crypto, it often leads to significant ADD, always trying to move from one crypto to the next, trying to find that next source of big profit. Doing this however can be terrible for your gains and your health.

Let's talk about the market in the past 24 hours, Crypto ADD and the video on Bitcoin "Obsession".

XRP and ETH Run, Bitcoin Haters and Adjusting the Portfolio

Ripple (XRP) and Ethereum (ETH) have both had incredible moves in the past day, specifically XRP up over 50% in the last 24 hours and ETH hitting a fresh ATH in the last day. With some level of stablization and fresh money in Bitcoin, are we in for a significant altcoin boost?

Also, let's talk about the Bitcoin haters, of which you'll start to see many of them. I'm all for healthy discussion and valid criticism, but it grinds my gears when I see people talking about tech they obviously haven't done research on.
