Thank you.

Stop loss and take profit options should really be helpful to minimize the risk and maximise the profit in either trading or holding.

Don't put your portfolio at risk because you use leverage.

You must allocate most of capital to Bitcoin and some altcoins that are backed by crypto exchanges. If crypto industry is here, and if crypto exchanges survive in the market, those altcoins will grow.

Why grow? Because when the industry grows, crypto exchanges will grow too and their own-built coins will grow in value.

For me as a trader there's always a chance to minimise losses by using stop loss, but when it comes investing probably it depends, wherein if you make technical analysis first before you put money probably you can assure your money is safe from the volatility or if there's a massive down in the market, especially if you get the real strong support level of the coin because for sure it will always bouncing back and will seek for new resistance for long time, but monitoring the growth still a must for investors.. Unlike traders by using stop loss it makes very comfortable..

I think as others have already pointed out, there is volatility risk for each one of these.  As a retail investor your risk becomes a possibility at a couple levels, and being a retail investor doesn't mean you're not a "trader".. the two can go together.  You have risk when you buy any investment and bitcoin is no different.  You have the possibility of risk whether you hold for a short amount of time or long.  As an asset manager you've got a fund to manage and other peoples monies at stake.  So, there much more risk so to speak in that scenario.

If you are not sure what to do, about the coins you bought at that time, then you don't understand how to do research before investing or buying coins. Research really needs to be done, doing analysis is the first thing that must be done.
the risk of hype will always occur. For brands that are late in the hype and continue to buy at high prices, it is a risk that must be accepted. Crypto price fluctuations are very fast due to high volatility.
High volatility can be put to good use for experienced traders, they will benefit from every ups and down of the coins traded.

Honestly there are risks in every single investment that you are making and when it comes to bitcoins I think the top two would be :
1. legal issues
( From the side of the government)
2. Issues regarding volatility and manipulation as well
...
The fact is not all countries are crypto friendly and thus at the end of the day people might have to pay huge taxes or even sell their assets before time with the government suddenly decide to ban it. ( They usually give a time period but that's only bad since the price keeps going down eventually and you end up in a loss )

The Volatility is something that is not only a boon for the traders but at the same time it might cause a lot of probelms as well, since if you are not vigilant, you can loose a lot, faster than ever. Therefore if you do know how to use it, it's perfect, but if you are a new trader then you have to take it slow and learn from your mistakes along the way.

Most people who trade are also holding, therefore your portfolio is actually in your own hands, you can decide to tackle it from different angles and when you think you are loosing a lot, just stop and see where you are doing mistakes, I think it's all about learning and experience.

Retail investors should only allocate a small portion of their total assets to cryptocurrency, say 5-10% because it has such a high volatility - may consider it a replacement for gold in your portfolio. An asset manager would also hold a rather small portion, unless their fund was specifically designed as a high risk and potentially high return vehicle - that way investors would be aware they could lose a large chunk of their money if they park it there. A really profitable trader can make money in any sort of market as long as long and short positions are available, however the amount of people who are successful at this activity are probably in the hundreds or low thousands across the whole world, plus it can be extremely stressful.

As an investor, of course, I prefer bitcoin as an investment because it is one of the most popular and well-known coins. I will hold it for longer and if things go bad as long as there is a time, bitcoin will definitely come back to go up, so I will hesitate if I choose a coin except BTC.

As a trader, in general there is always a stop loss option to prevent losses where when something bad happens it will definitely have a quick impact, I certainly need to analyze certain coins where to trade but in this option there is still a lot to do including by entering hype and also other fomo.

Just be an individual that invests on it. No one to hold your asset and you're the one that's responsible for every action you do with your portfolio.



I don't have experience in asset managers and no plans of using any of their service.
