The Basics of Investments

[Furious 7]

I just want to add, investment is a marathon not a sprint. People who want to invest expect their asset to grow from the next day which results into panic if the price drops. They should be prepared to play the long game and to be honest traditional investment took a couple generation to get the expected returns so if someone consider 4 year cycle is too long for them to HODL then they might tot fit to become an investor at all.

In any investment, you have to be patient, those who are not patient and want to get results immediately, they will never be successful in investing. It is not possible to achieve anything in a hurry, if you do this, you are just trading, where you will have to face losses most of the time. Invest, be patient, and expect to get big results after a long time. The key to success in investing is long-term patience, but those who do not have this patience, they will only fail.

Investment although the classification is quite diverse such as in terms of short, medium or long-term duration but still the ideal of investment if you really expect maximum profit, then long-term is what we should pay attention to here because apart from the risk that can be increasingly minimized, this condition can also make us get maximum profit later.

But on the other hand, even though the ideal is for the long term, it does not mean that there is a prohibition for the medium or short term because after all, things like this can still be done depending on our own readiness.

All actions have risks including in investment so in this case we must dare to decide what is best for ourselves.

It is important to create a balance between building your theory and practice in investing. It can take years to develop consistent buying and strong cash flow management that gives you the ability to put your ideas into practice and argue. Those who practice consistently will be able to balance their strategies and competitive interests in a reasonable way, considering their personal budget, time, and constraints.

nice post op, I believe that any thing that is valuable can be an investment like land ,car , house and so many more. to me anything that is valuable is an investment as long as it appreciates over time .that said being an investor means you have a big financial responsibility and when there is responsibility there is also set backs. for that you must be ready to over come everything step by step , one of those set backs are failure to take the risk as required. As op said no investment no reward but  for me it's no risk no reward .that's just it.... we should learn to take action as expected if truly we we want to be successful....

I believe every phase of investing is worthwhile, although I believe long-term investing remains the best. The first step investors must learn is the ability to study each asset and good risk management to avoid becoming a useless long-term holder. In another post, I mentioned that I invested in the hyped metaverse narrative in 2021, but now I've lost 90% of my investment. Perhaps the story would have been different if I'd invested in Bitcoin, BNB, or XRP, but at the time, I was just a beginner with the conviction to be a long-term investor. And I didn't understand the narrative and the fact that altcoins weren't good for long-term investments, unless they were blue-chip altcoins like ETH, BNB, SOL, and XRP.

in investing consistently and confidently in determining a coin is a very important thing, and those who can get big profits certainly have a very good strategy and this requires expertise and we must really learn this well, everything we get is not by chance, everyone has their own way, for me investing in the long term is the most interesting thing because the results we get are very large but our investment is in the right area and has high potential.

Investments are classified based on the goals investors set for themselves. The higher the goal, the more long-term the investment tends to be. I think that the most successful investments are long-term, regardless of whether it’s real estate, precious metals, or Bitcoin. Different assets have different payback periods, but in general, investing follows common rules, and if you choose a good asset, over time it will bring you a good profit.

Patience is what really separates investors from speculators because building wealth through investment is not about timing the market it’s about time in the market those who constantly expect their portfolio to grow overnight forget that volatility is a normal part of the process markets move in cycles and every dip or correction only tests how much conviction and discipline someone truly has.

When people complain that four years is too long to hold they overlook that traditional investments like stocks or real estate often take decades to produce real gains crypto just moves faster but the principles stay the same research deeply invest only what you can afford to leave untouched and let compounding work in your favor every cycle has its lessons and those who stay consistent end up benefiting the most while others keep jumping in and out chasing quick returns patience isn’t easy but it’s the only strategy that has stood the test of time in every market.

Everything op said here is correct. The most important thing for an investor is to know what they're doing and why they're investing in investments like cryptocurrency.
They should never invest just because someone whispered to them or they were influenced by hype from what they heard or saw.

We ourselves should have an idea or knowledge about the thing we want to invest in, not just putting money out immediately. It's easy to spend money because we know how to make money due to having a source, but when it comes to choosing the investment we're going to make, we really need to think about it carefully.

[summonerrk]

A common problem in the crypto trading world is that many traders truly invest all their money, leaving no room to buy more if the price drops. For example, I'm sure that when Bitcoin started falling so sharply, many traders panicked. After all, they invested everything at the 120,000 mark, and now they can't buy more to improve their position.
Now they've become involuntary holders, who will either sit back and wait for the price to drop to its previous levels, or simply exit their positions by selling their coins at a lower price.

I see from several investment options, and indeed all investments must be intended for the long term because it can minimize risk and also the basis of investment that must be embedded in oneself is to secure assets and also asset growth in the future so we can say that investment is a simple thing that we do from an early age slowly which will grow to be big in the future.

There is one thing that I give more importance to when investing anywhere. That is, whatever the asset or business, you should first research it. In addition, what kind of risks or obstacles arise in that type of investment should be given importance first. If someone else has previously made the type of investment you are interested in, then discussing all these things with him will give you some real life experience. As a result, when you start investing, you will have a lot of ideas about risk management and you will understand which type of investment will be best for you.

I agree with what you said, we should study everything, both the risks and the research into an asset we want to invest in. Yes, by discussing with relatives or friends it will be easier to gain detailed experience, knowledge and insight. With this kind of approach or experience, we will be more confident and wise in choosing investments so that in the future we will not make wrong steps and also avoid traps or mistakes.

In the case you mentioned, it's because they lack proper financial management and risk management, leading to reckless decisions. Investing all your money is a mistake not only because you won't have the money when prices drop, but it will also wreak havoc on your finances because you don't have a reserve fund or emergency fund. Often if you don't have a solid understanding of investment fundamentals when situations like this occur, you often end up going into debt.

This is why it's crucial to have a solid foundation in investment and trading before investing or trading. Mastering the basics isn't necessary simply understanding the basics can minimize mistakes when making decisions.

Different assets have different payback periods, but in general, investing follows common rules, and if you choose a good asset, over time it will bring you a good profit.

It is certain that there will be many advantages including minimizing risk if we are in the long term because after all we must be aware that when a situation like this is done then of course there is a better hope in the future but this is also proportional to the intention because doing a long term is not easy especially when it comes to investments that are indeed stronger pressure like in bitcoin because we know that in the end this will be very profitable if we do it for the long term because we have seen the progress of how bitcoin from year to year but the great pressure makes some of us give up which means in this case confidence becomes an important thing.
If we are sure of what we are doing then it will certainly bring good results, it is different when our beliefs can still be said to be half-assed even just participating in fomo then obviously the situation can change even though our intentions and goals are good.

All have their own experiences because not only you because I also felt the same loss after trying several investments in altcoins before even the once booming metaverse also sank and I felt the loss of this.

But experiences like this are also a good thing in the end because we become aware of which ones we should prioritize and which ones we should ignore so that by looking at this condition I have in the last few years focused more on being in bitcoin as my long-term investment and it has been seen even though the focus has only been the last few years but I have seen a lot of benefits that I get including maybe my own version of financial freedom.

This issue must first be understood that Bitcoin investment is a long-term strategy that will bring you success only in the long term and through a slow process. Not in the short term, in the short term it will try to scare you, but you have to be brave, those who can survive bravely, they will get the results, but those who cannot, they will ultimately get nothing from it, but at the end of the day they will have to face losses due to selling. So you must be careful about the purpose of investment, it only becomes a big asset in the future with time.

Therefore, everyone should choose the right investment assets, such as Bitcoin and other assets that can grow well over time. Assets that can experience growth in value and price are always a smart solution to maintain and will continue to attract a large number of interested parties year after year. Currently, I still consider Bitcoin and gold as viable long-term investments, as both have garnered significant interest now and in the future.

One constant thing about life is change. People evolve, and everyone wants to make life better for themselves and their loved ones. To make life merrier, finances play a major role, which is why financial education is very important.

These days, so many people are in a hurry to make money. It’s not just about greed, the crippling economy and peer pressure has also contributed to this rush in life.

A lot of people stumble upon the idea of "investment" without taking time to understand the basics, and this often leads to pain and regret.
Now, while I’m not a financial adviser or expert, I’d still like to share my own basic understanding of investing to help guide anyone looking to invest especially in crypto, real estate, or any other investment space in general.

Below are a few important points to take note of:

1. Understand the Business You’re Investing In
Be its anything, coins, forex, real estate, etc. Always ensure you have satisfied yourself by making a proper research and understanding of the proposed investment in question.
I’ve not just heard stories, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Someone bought a Keke (tricycle) and gave it out for hire, hoping to get returns weekly or monthly depending on his agreement with the rider.
But guess what? It was problem after problem. One day it was the crankshaft, the next day it was "local government wahala."
It even led to an arrest and things got messy just because someone wants to reap the fruit of another persons labor
Now I’m not saying Keke business is bad, but you need to understand how it works so you don’t end up stressed and frustrated.

2. Investment Is Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme
If you’re thinking investments will blow overnight and make you millions instantly, you're likely walking into a trap. Real investing takes time. The legit kind is long term and is meant to bring in steady income over time unless of course, you’re looking for Ponzi (which I don’t advise at all).

3. Don’t Invest All Your Money
Always make sure you have some cash flow on hand. Life is unpredictable. Emergencies happen. Never put all your money into an investment, no matter how "sure" it seems.

4. No Investment, No Reward
As simple as this sounds, it needs to be said. Some people expect major blessings or financial breakthroughs in life, but they’ve never invested in anything. If you don’t plant a seed, don’t expect a harvest.

5. Higher Risk Means Higher Reward (and Higher Failure)
Yes, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward can be but the bigger the failure can be too. Especially in areas like crypto, you are not guaranteed 100% success, no matter what anyone tells you.

6. You Can Lose It All
You may have genuine intentions and a good heart, but that doesn’t stop life from happening. Timing, market crashes, bad seasons they happen. Be ready for it, and don’t take it personally when things don’t go your way.

7. Know When to Withdraw
Investing isn’t just about putting money in it’s also about knowing when to take your profit. Don’t get greedy. Learn to cash out wisely and enjoy the fruits of your investment.

Final Note:
At the end of the day, investing is a journey. It comes with risks, rewards, lessons, and sometimes losses. Just make sure you’re informed and intentional. That way, whether it works out or not, you’ll know you moved smart.

I think it has to do with what business you are planning on venturing into, which is why I think the primary thing you should consider is having a capital to start that business or probably investment, but if it’s a business enterprise, you have to also consider the location and capital to use in starting the business, but one thing I must say is that you have to study the business, and also try and study the investment but if you should ask me what is happening it’s going to be about having a good business plans and having a good business mindset on how to go about things and how to make a good reasonable plans, because anything that doesn’t have plans that means that have a different plans to fail.

Currently, I still consider Bitcoin and gold as viable long-term investments, as both have garnered significant interest now and in the future.

To keep money safe in the long term, it is most important to choose assets that can maintain their value over time or even increase, we need to invest in assets that have good prospects for the future. Where there is no prospect, everything is just risk, why would you go there? Bitcoin is constantly growing, its future is very good, so it is reasonable to invest here for the long term, and if we talk about a shitcoin or memecoin for example, then there is no guarantee of them, so we should never use money there.

Every investment carries risks. It is natural to take risks before investing. Moreover, an investor must make a decision about where to invest after reviewing it well. There is no certainty that the investor will be able to profit immediately after investing, so he needs to know whether he has the patience or not. Again, not only should he take risks, the investor must also consider the rationality of taking risks. Moreover, the investment decision should be made after reviewing the issues of when the time is good for investment or when the chances of profit are high if the investment is made.

You have actually highlighted a very good points and a nice thought, if I may say something, or let me chip into your points of views, however, there's something very quickly that some of us usually keep aside or forget totally, which is patience and endurance. In terms of life activities and to become successful in life, you really need resilience in order to gradually become something in life or to be successful in life. You don't need to rush into investments or businesses just like that, you actually need a basic knowledge of what you are about to do, either business or investment. That's why some of us may think getting rich or becoming successful is an easy task,not knowing that there are other hiden efforts behind, it's never an easy tasks. It's either you make it when you are into business with a sound knowledge as well as investments, or you don't.
You can't just invest today and be excited to make it the following day, it has to do with long-term patience.

Investment is  a topic I want in the books of children because they will learn more from these topics And we will see creative people in our society. I am watching lot of people who are copying the successful business and they are earning less because there is competition in the market and it they will get unique knowledge then then they will establish a business which is different from other businesses and their investment will not be at loss but I need a couple it years to work . Always take risk which you can take and your family will not come on road if you will lose your investment. The reason is unique idea could be flop but if you will be successful then you will be top notch person of your town.
