Since the first cryptocurrency launched in 2009, it has become eye-catching for investors. But according to research, many of them face loss. There are certain factors that we should consider before investing our money.

Investors must know about the coin they are investing in. They must have to know about the market situation.

We know that cryptocurrency is very volatile. It changes its figures within minutes.

So we come up with a solution for certain factors you should consider.

Must Know About the Exchange You Are Using:

Crypto exchanges are the platforms, where investors go and exchange their money in return for some other form of assets. Before going to use any exchange you must know about the crypto exchange security features. Because many exchanges suffered from cyber-attacks

You also know about the fee they are charging for using the exchange. It must be low cost. Always do your research, and know about the reviews of users. Then use the exchange.

Must Know About the Coin You Are Investing:

Whenever people listen about cryptocurrency, they only think about two coins. One of them is Bitcoin, and the second is Ethereum. But the reality is that there are approximately 22,000 different coins.

But people only trust and rely on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The reason behind this is that only these 2 coins are accepted worldwide. Moreover, Starbucks has now started dealing with Bitcoin. And according to research, 2,000 different businesses and shops in the US also started dealing with Bitcoin. So always invest in a coin that is trustworthy and reliable.

Must Know About the Fluctuation of the Market:

Cryptocurrency is just like stock and shares. They both fluctuate with the market condition. Many people face loss only because they don’t know about the current market condition. An intelligent investor always see’s the market situation and then invests his money.

So as a beginner or newcomer to the world of crypto. Always watch the ups and downs of the market. If we take a look back in 2021, the value of Bitcoin is around 60,000$ USD. But right now, when I’m writing this, the value of BTC is 31,000$ USD.

Don’t Go for Long-Term Investments:

As we discussed earlier, the cryptocurrency is very volatile. It changes its figures in minutes. So the people who go for long-term investments mostly face loss. Why? Because they don’t know where the market goes. If their luck supports them, they probably get much more profit than they expect. But what if the market goes in loss?

So there is a simple solution: always make short-term investments. When you get enough knowledge about Crypto, then for sure go for the long term. But as a beginner, DON’T be greedy.

Bottomline:

Cryptocurrency is the new world. Experts think that one day it will replace the banking system. Everything comes with certain factors. Some are risky and others are beneficial. If we only look at risky factors then we will never taste the benefit side.

But as I said earlier crypto is very volatile: don’t just go and invest in it. Think about the factors we have discussed.
