Investment vs Speculation (ICOs, Lending, Staking, Cloud Mining)

in #btc7 years ago (edited)

With the current surge of new coins, ICOs, & the rising success of lending platforms, like BitConnect, RegalCoin etc.
The temptation to take a dive into the speculative high risk high reward “investment” zone, beckons me intensely. Some may even call these shady projects.

However, I feel that in order to be a well-rounded investor, one must be willing to take on some extreme risk, though calculated to a certain extent.
Contrary to popular belief of traditional thinking investors, I feel that having a number of highly speculative cryptos is essential to one's survivor in this phenomenally unpredictable & volatile market.
So, how does one minimise the risk of losing everything, while playing with fire, you ask?
Well, you have to first build a foundation of a good percentage of your portfolio with solid coins & projects. So that, in the event of things going terribly south, you'll have this solid foundation to keep the overall support intact.

Having said that, be aware that sometimes, even solid projects can fold.
Moreover, do bear in mind that my version of calculated risk vs yours may vary to a large degree.
My current strategy is allocating 50% to the “blue chip” cryptos & letting the other 50% fight the bloodied battles of the greater unknown, aka super speculative projects or schemes. After all, no risk no goodies!

With the obvious volatility in the crypto space, there lies a vast array of opportunities to make insane gains to add onto your wealth nest, whenever profit taking ripens. Therefore, by not tapping into the risky side of this venture, we are not fully maximising the possibilities & chances that lie within this sphere.

Here’s a list of my top “solid projects”. (none of each have more than 20% of my total sum)
NEO, OMG, TenX, BTC, ETH, LITE, STRAT, LSK, XRP, QTUM, CVC

And here’s the list of my current exciting & highly speculative projects with ref links attached, in case you may be interested to take a chance on some of them too. (none of each have more than 10% of my total sum)
