Long-term Investment

Long-term Cryptocurrency Investment

A long-term investment is one where you expect a cryptocurrency to perform better over a longer period of time. Simple! Normally, the minimum time for long-term investment is 6 months to 1 year. Although, some people plan to hold onto their investments for 5-10+ years. It’s up to you how you choose to invest; you can either make your full investment in one go, or you can invest at different times.

Long-term Investment Strategy

Once again, before investing any amount, you must have a clear idea of what your investment goals are:

  • Will you sell the cryptocurrency after a certain amount of time or will you sell it when it reaches a certain price?
  • Will you sell off your investment at once or will you sell parts of it at different times?
  • On what occasion would you sell the long-term investment in the short term? For example, if new laws come into place that could affect the long-term price of your investment, you might want to consider selling it sooner.

Next, you should do some research to decide which cryptocurrencies are best as long-term investments. I recommend that you check for the following:

  • Is their technology better than their competitors?
  • Do they have a strong team of founders and developers?
  • How good is their roadmap/plan?
  • Are they solving any real-world problems?

If you really believe in the cryptocurrency you invest in, you should learn to hold on to your investment even when the prices drop. If you ‘panic sell’, then you could lose money and regret selling.

Reasons For Making Long-Term Investments

  • Long-term investing makes your life easier as you don’t need to watch the market all the time;
  • You believe that some cryptocurrencies will give a better return in the long-term;
  • You truly believe in the future of the cryptocurrency.

Those are some key things to consider!
