Perfect Crypto Investment Strategies – Part 1

Recommended Posts

A LONG-TERM CRYPTO INVESTMENT STRATEGY

“…Cryptoassets were the biggest institutional revolution since the Industrial Revolution and they represented the investment of a lifetime.” – Van K. Tharp, PhD

What is the idea? What crypto coins should you buy?

For instance, you may want to invest in popular DeFi tokens.

According to John Hargrave, for the vast majority of DeFi projects, the layer is Ethereum. As he’s said again and again, the easiest way to invest in DeFi is to just buy and hold Ether. It’s the foundation of DeFi, and it’s the foundation of a smart DeFi investment portfolio.

Nonetheless, popular DeFi coins serve unique purposes and they can deliver great returns in future. So you may not want to restrict your opportunities to ETH only. Yes, there are tremendous opportunities to make money from other coins.

One of the DeFi tokens that stands out is Uniswap (UNI), created by Hayden Adams in November 2018. From September 2020 to May 2021, UNIUSD rose from $4 to $44. But that is just the beginning, for price is bound to rise from here, following the recent large bearish correction. Uniswap facilitates automated transactions between cryptocurrency tokens on the Ethereum blockchain through the use of smart contract. In 40 years to this time, UNIUSD would be worth at least, $400,000.

This is just one of the numerous examples. You need to pinpoint cryptos whose value will go upwards exponentially in future.

FINDING THE NEXT UNICORN
Buy all the top 100 crypto coins.

Look at the top 100 coins. They are the 100 biggest coins in the world by market capitalization. That means they are currently popular, and it also means a lot of people have invested in them.

Most top 100 coins are promising, having excellent purposes and bright future.

Depending on your financial status, you can invest $1000 in each coin, making a total of $100,000.

Or you can invest $100 USD in each coin (a total of $10,000), or you can invest $10 in each coin (a total of $1000).

Then hold the coins forever.

No matter how expensive a coin is, like Yearn. Finance (FI) which is currently around $39,658, but which once reached a high of $90,000. Buy it.

No matter how cheap a coin is, like SHIBA INU (SHIB) which is currently around $0.000007151, but which once reached a high of $$0.000040151. Buy it.

THE ULTIMATE FATE OF THE TOP 100 COINS
Some coins will become crashing failures, and some coins will become roaring successes. Some coins will perform above expectations and some will perform below expectations. Some coins will neither make money significantly nor lose money significantly.

Within 2 years or 5 years or 10 years or 20 years, some of the coins that are currently in the top 100 would have been pushed out of the top 100, and some would remain within the top 100. Some which are below the top 50 or the top 80 would have been pushed up to the top 10.

By then, some currently unpopular coins would have become household names, and extremely successful.

On the other hand, some coins would have disappeared or become totally worthless or useless/seriously unpopular. That will also happen.

However, the coins that make money will by far, compensate for the losses you have on the coins that eventually prove worthless. The colossal gains you would make from the successful coins will make your losses on the eventually useless coins to pale into insignificance.

How viable is this investment idea?
web-3706562_960_720.jpgA CASE STUDY IN STOCK MARKETS
James Altucher recently released an investment newsletter in which he mentions this:

Make a serious research to identify an industry with exponential growth; then buy many (if not most) stocks in the industry.

Since a man named Gordon Moore declared that computing power would double every 2 years, that prediction has proven to be correct, even 56 years later.

What did that mean if you were alive then? It means you could invest in computer companies.

For you to understand, please let me quote Altucher directly:

“Let’s say, from 1970 to 1990 you put just $1,000 into each of the next 100 computer companies to go public. And then you ignored them until today.

Which means you would invest $100,000 in total ($1,000 into 100 companies).

Many computer companies went bankrupt during this time. Do you remember Eagle Computer. Or Commodore?

Or the ElectroData Corporation? How could you forget the one-time third-largest computer manufacturer? The maker of the DataTron 203 that shipped for a price as cheap as $125,000. It weighed 3,175 pounds and had about 4k of memory.

Many companies went bankrupt. But how could that be if the computer industry was growing exponentially??

Let’s say that out of the 100 companies you invested in and forgot until this moment, 98 went bankrupt. Let’s say only Microsoft and Intel survived. The real facts are that many more than 2 of the 100 survived, but this is an extreme example.

So out of your $100,000 invested, $98,000 went down the drain. Only 2 companies, or $2,000 of your investment survived. That sucks, right?

Wrong! If you had done this strategy, you would have $3,500,000 today. In fact, you would have a lot more because many more than just two companies survived. But again, I use this as an extreme.

If you invest now in an exponentially growing industry, even if you invest small amounts, you will make an enormous amount of money. This is no joke.

But, you might say, “An industry like computers only happens once every 50 years.”

Because of the rise of the computer industry, computers now create exponential industries. There are many exponentially growing industries.” (Source: Jamesaltucher.com)

blue-1702287_960_720-1.jpgTIME TO GET RICH SLOWLY
You can see that the crypto investment strategy explained in this text works in any major industry with potentially exponential growth. It has proven to work in stock markets, crypto industry, etc.

Let’s take a factual, real example. I invested $200 in 2 coins ($100 for each coin), and less than 3 years later, one coin has gained over $11,700 for me; while the value of the invested $100 on the other coin has depreciated to $26.

“If you invest in crypto, then expect to live with huge volatility. No major institutions that I know of, however, have sold off their crypto investments,” says Dr. Van Tharp.

My $200 investment was then worth $11,726. Was that bad?

Actually you cannot lose more than what you have invested in a coin, but you can really gain more than what you have invested. Even that $74 depreciation on the second coin wasn’t a real life loss unless I cashed it out.

That is the beauty of crypto investment. Good, viable coins will eventually go up, irrespective of crypto winters and storms along the way.

I am a living witness to this truth as I myself began to get my feet wet in the crypto industry years ago. Some coins like BNB and ADA have paid handsomely, while some coins like ATB and ETN have become failures. Some coins like XRP and TRX have neither made serious money nor lost serious money.

Ultimately, you will be richly rewarded by the cryptos that make money.

CONCLUSION
This investment idea is great if you buy and hold forever. That is the best way to make money. Nonetheless, there is a killer short-term crypto investment strategy that will be revealed in the next article in this series.

That strategy enables you to make money by taking short-term positions in crypto markets, focusing on the top 100 cryptos only. The accuracy of the strategy is stunning and it is one of the strategies we use to generate signals in our Telegram channels.

    • also ... and barely on topic... Winners (always*) overpay. Buying the dips is a subscription to the belief that winners win by underpaying - when in actuality winners (inevitably/always*) win by overpaying... it’s amazing the percentage of traders who think winners win by underpaying ... “Winners (always*) overpay.” ...  One way to implement this ‘belief’ is to only reenter when prices have emphatically resumed the 'trend' .   (Fwiw, While “Winners (always*) overpay.” holds true in most endeavors (relationships, business, sports, etc...) - “Winners (always*) overpay.”  is especially true for auctions... continuous auctions included.)
    • re:  "Does it make sense to always buy the dips?  “Buy the dip.”  You hear this all the time in crypto investing trading speculation gambling. [zdo taking some liberties] It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing. You Only Know the Dip in Hindsight When people talk about “buying the dip,” what they’re really saying is, “I bought when the price was going down.” " ... example of a dip ... 
    • Date: 19th April 2024. Weekly Commodity Market Update: Oil Prices Correct and Supply Concerns Persist.   The ongoing developments in the Middle East sparked a wave of risk aversion and fueled supply concerns and investors headed for safety. Hopes for imminent rate cuts from the Federal Reserve diminish while attention is now turning towards the demand outlook. The Gold price hit a high of $2417.89 per ounce overnight. Sentiment has already calmed down again and bullion is trading at $2376.50 per ounce as haven flows ease. Oil prices initially moved higher as concern over escalating tensions with the WTI contract hit a session high of $85.508 per barrel overnight, before correcting to currently $81.45 per barrel. Oil Prices Under Pressure Amid Middle East Tensions Last week, commodity indexes showed little movement, with Oil prices undergoing a slight correction. Meanwhile, Gold reached yet another record high, mirroring the upward trend in cocoa prices. Once again today, USOil prices experienced a correction and has remained under pressure, retesting the 50-day EMA at $81.00 as we moving into the weekend. Hence, despite the Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran, sentiments stabilized following reports suggesting a measured response aimed at avoiding further escalation. Brent crude futures witnessed a more than 4% leap, driven by concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies in the Middle East, only to subsequently erase all gains. Similarly with USOIL, UKOIL hovers just below $87 per barrel, marginally below Thursday’s closing figures. Nevertheless, volatility is expected to continue in the market as several potential risks loom:   Disruption to the Strait of Hormuz: The possibility of Iran disrupting navigation through the vital shipping lane, is still in play. The Strait of Hormuz serves as the Persian Gulf’s primary route to international waters, with approximately 21 million barrels of oil passing through daily. Recent events, including Iran’s seizure of an Israel-linked container ship, underscore the geopolitical sensitivity of the region. Tougher Sanctions on Iran: Analysts speculate that the US may impose stricter sanctions on Iranian oil exports or intensify enforcement of existing restrictions. With global oil consumption reaching 102 million barrels per day, Iran’s production of 3.3 million barrels remains significant. Recent actions targeting Venezuelan oil highlight the potential for increased pressure on Iranian exports. OPEC Output Increases: Despite the desire for higher prices, OPEC members such as Saudi Arabia and Russia have constrained output in recent years. However, sustained crude prices above $100 per barrel could prompt concerns about demand and incentivize increased production. The OPEC may opt to boost oil output should tensions escalate further and prices surge. Ukraine Conflict: Amidst the focus on the Middle East, markets overlooking Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Potential retaliatory strikes by Kyiv on Russian oil infrastructure could impact exports, adding further complexity to global oil markets.   Technical Analysis USOIL is marking one of the steepest weekly declines witnessed this year after a brief period of consolidation. The breach below the pivotal support level of 84.00, coupled with the descent below the mid of the 4-month upchannel, signals a possible shift in market sentiment towards a bearish trend reversal. Adding to the bearish outlook are indications such as the downward slope in the RSI. However, the asset still hold above the 50-day EMA which coincides also with the mid of last year’s downleg, with key support zone at $80.00-$81.00. If it breaks this support zone, the focus may shift towards the 200-day EMA and 38.2% Fib. level at $77.60-$79.00. Conversely, a rejection of the $81 level and an upside potential could see the price returning back to $84.00. A break of the latter could trigger the attention back to the December’s resistance, situated around $86.60. A breakthrough above this level could ignite a stronger rally towards the $89.20-$90.00 zone.

    • Date: 18th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets benefit from Dollar correction. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Technical buying, bargain hunting, and risk aversion helped Treasuries rally and unwind recent losses. Yields dropped from the recent 2024 highs. Asian stock markets strengthened, as the US Dollar corrected in the wake of comments from Japan’s currency chief Masato Kanda, who said G7 countries continue to stress that excessive swings and disorderly moves in the foreign exchange market were harmful for economies. US Stockpiles expanded to 10-month high. The data overshadowed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as traders await Israel’s response to Iran’s unprecedented recent attack. President Joe Biden called for higher tariffs on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.   Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex stumbled, falling to 105.66 at the end of the day from the intraday high of 106.48. It lost ground against most of its G10 peers. There wasn’t much on the calendar to provide new direction. USDJPY lows retesting the 154 bottom! NOT an intervention yet. BoJ/MoF USDJPY intervention happens when there is more than 100+ pip move in seconds, not 50 pips. USOIL slumped by 3% near $82, as US crude inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels last week, hitting the highest level since last June, while gauges of fuel demand declined. Gold strengthened as the dollar weakened and bullion is trading at $2378.44 per ounce. Market Trends:   Wall Street closed in the red after opening with small corrective gains. The NASDAQ underperformed, slumping -1.15%, with the S&P500 -0.58% lower, while the Dow lost -0.12. The Nikkei closed 0.2% higher, the Hang Seng gained more than 1. European and US futures are finding buyers. A gauge of global chip stocks and AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. have both fallen into a technical correction. The TMSC reported its first profit rise in a year, after strong AI demand revived growth at the world’s biggest contract chipmaker. The main chipmaker to Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp. recorded a 9% rise in net income, beating estimates. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 17th April 2024. Market News – Appetite for risk-taking remains weak. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks, Treasury yields and US Dollar stay firmed. Fed Chair Powell added to the recent sell off. His slightly more hawkish tone further priced out chances for any imminent action and the timing of a cut was pushed out further. He suggested if higher inflation does persist, the Fed will hold rates steady “for as long as needed.” Implied Fed Fund: There remains no real chance for a move on May 1 and at their intraday highs the June implied funds rate future showed only 5 bps, while July reflected only 10 bps. And a full 25 bps was not priced in until November, with 38 bps in cuts seen for 2024. US & EU Economies Diverging: Lagarde says ECB is moving toward rate cuts – if there are no major shocks. UK March CPI inflation falls less than expected. Output price inflation has started to nudge higher, despite another decline in input prices. Together with yesterday’s higher than expected wage numbers, the data will add to the arguments of the hawks at the BoE, which remain very reluctant to contemplate rate cuts. Canada CPI rose 0.6% in March, double the 0.3% February increase BUT core eased. The doors are still open for a possible cut at the next BoC meeting on June 5. IMF revised up its global growth forecast for 2024 with inflation easing, in its new World Economic Outlook. This is consistent with a global soft landing, according to the report. Financial Markets Performance:   USDJPY also inched up to 154.67 on expectations the BoJ will remain accommodative and as the market challenges a perceived 155 red line for MoF intervention. USOIL prices slipped -0.15% to $84.20 per barrel. Gold rose 0.24% to $2389.11 per ounce, a new record closing high as geopolitical risks overshadowed the impacts of rising rates and the stronger dollar. Market Trends:   Wall Street waffled either side of unchanged on the day amid dimming rate cut potential, rising yields, and earnings. The major indexes closed mixed with the Dow up 0.17%, while the S&P500 and NASDAQ lost -0.21% and -0.12%, respectively. Asian stock markets mostly corrected again, with Japanese bourses underperforming and the Nikkei down -1.3%. Mainland China bourses were a notable exception and the CSI 300 rallied 1.4%, but the MSCI Asia Pacific index came close to erasing the gains for this year. Always trade with strict risk management.
