What can we do about the recent dip in cryptocurrency? What exactly caused the sudden decline, or should I call it a reversal? Although many traders had anticipated this scenario, it's still a topic of concern. I read online that one trader predicted we would witness more dips before an actual breakout occurs. However, do we really know if a breakout will happen this time? No one can say for sure whether the bull run we've been expecting has already come and gone.
At least, we've witnessed Bitcoin (BTC)—the top cryptocurrency, reaching a new all-time high. But since then, we've seen more dips than surges. What's unusual is that altcoins didn't "moon" like BTC did. Typically, BTC’s surge would positively influence altcoins, but this time, that hasn't been the case. The surge in BTC's price didn't significantly affect altcoins, yet its downturn has impacted them severely.
This pattern is quite different from past trends. Usually, Bitcoin’s upward movement triggers an altcoin rally, but now it seems only BTC’s dips are pulling altcoins down. If we had experienced a major surge in altcoins, it wouldn’t be surprising to see BTC’s price fluctuations affecting them. But in this cycle, altcoins haven't even had their moment to shine. It's both frustrating and disappointing.
Investments That Pay in Cryptocurrency
When it comes to crypto investments, it's crucial to choose the right approach. For me, spot trading feels more reliable compared to futures trading. Honestly, I wouldn’t even recommend futures trading to my worst enemy. It can be life-ruining if caution isn’t taken. The common advice, don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose, is an understatement. Cryptocurrency investment is inherently risky due to its volatile nature. You could be a millionaire today and lose everything tomorrow.
Understanding the type of investment you venture into is critical. What kind of coins should you buy, and why? Personally, I believe that altcoins offer the potential for huge returns, with possibilities of making 10x your initial capital or even more in some cases. However, it remains a high-risk venture that requires careful thought before committing funds.
Is Cryptocurrency the Same as Gambling?
Many argue that investing in cryptocurrency is akin to gambling because it’s hard to predict what controls its value. No one can be 100% certain of what drives price changes. Unlike traditional investments, where buying and selling goods or services offer more predictable returns, crypto feels uncertain.
However, the difference between cryptocurrency and gambling is that crypto assets have intrinsic value. You can hold a cryptocurrency for a long time, and as long as you don't panic-sell, there's a chance to recover or even gain more value. In contrast, with gambling, there's no assurance of recovering your stake. Once it's lost, it's gone.
In crypto, patience and strategic investing can pay off over time, while gambling is purely a game of chance with no long-term value.
