Crypto is high risk and that's true, high risk because of volatility. But this is what we like on it because if it moves a lot to the top, we expect that it's going to fall a lot as well. The higher risk is with the altcoins, the memecoins and other coins who have just been launched to the market. Some traders like to watch them for that because that's where they are good at, sniping some altcoins that are new to the market which should get a high liquidity because of being new.
But there could be some mitigation risk. Like if we talk about Bitcoin, then the risk could be minimized if we just do DCA and accumulate it in years and look at the bigger picture. For meme coins and shit coins though, it might be very different as that risk is really too high and if you are a newbie, you might be falling for the trap of this sort of coins. So if you are not that kind of a investor, then stay away from them. Maybe invest small money only if you wish to experience. But don't totally rely on the success of others are everyone could be very different in terms of our fate in this market.
Yeah, there is a HUGE difference in risk between DCA purchasing and long term holding bitcoin versus quick pump and dump of some meme coin. That is something people do realize, not like they are idiots (well some might be) but they just don't see that as something that changes for long term. Meaning, they know the risk is lower, but they also know the return is lower, so they risk losing all their money, for a chance to make some good return once. If they can do that, then they can get a great return.
Most people don't do that, and they lose it and that is why they end up with something that could change it for the long term. If they do that, then we are going to end up with some amazing returns eventually.
