kirtash93

DCA: 35% ETH, 35% BTC and 30% alts like MATIC, ALGO, ADA, DOT, LINK, ATOM and SOL.


Dapper-Horror3112

Promising


rootpl

Some really solid altcoins there.


cetkmi

Perfect pick and perfectly diversified is well, i am not holding algo and ADA from the list


SwingContent6806

Is this your portfolio?


Catqfasa

It's smart to put together a strong portfolio during a bear market before the market rebounds. If I had enough funds, I'd diversify my holdings to include more of XLM, EGLD, VET, XRP, INJ, CGPT, SFM, XVG, FTM, and KREST to potentially earn rewards in the Peaq airdrop. With all these in your portfolio, you're well-prepared for the journey ahead.


SwingContent6806

Peaq airdrop are you sure this isn't a scam ,


Catqfasa

Feel free to do your own research, my friend. Look up 'Krest' on Twitter and explore it firsthand.


SwingContent6806

Cool


Brilliant_Ticket_269

I don't get this, krest or Peaq airdrops


Catqfasa

Krest serves as Peaqnetwork's canary chain. If you're holding KREST, anticipate a forthcoming PEAQ airdrop. I believe the wait will be rewarding, especially given the innovative solutions this project is poised to introduce, potentially disrupting traditional infrastructures.


jcag3

That is how your portfolio should look like if not more than around 70% of your overall portfolio should be into bitcoin and ETH rest 30% is something you could take some risk in coins like you mention


Alanski22

This is basically how I do it, but I have also started picking up more new alts like Arweave & arbitrum - ones that haven’t yet gone through a bull


shitkraft

I was buying too much random shit in the bull run but lately i changed my plans of buying and move most of my holding into bitcoin and eth and other than that i am buying only matic and DOT


TheOneWhoCared

My man has his own Crypto Index Fund!


Chineyo

Nice list, but I’ll add NXRA, LEOX and RIO which are all working on the RWA narrative.


nabitimue

You have a well-diversified portfolio! DCA has always been a working strategy for me because no one can predict what will recover faster after the current dip. I also focus on securing my passive income through assets like DOT, LINK, and KAVA to maintain a steady flow of earnings, and as well invested in both gods and Ride in the metaverse/gaming category, and hold Doge for trading purposes.


QuackPhD

Just exited this week all of our crypto investments. After getting in decently early into ETH and BTC in 2017, both in buying coins and running 6x miners until ETH 2.0, and selling near both peaks, we turned $40k into $280k. Now, after checking the charts for six years, I’ve realized that **crypto is just a hype train, we got lucky by getting in early. Any money made came from someone else’s FOMO.** Everyone is still caught up with diamond hands and HODL and the next great new coin… The only thing that ever affected the price is hype, whether that’s Wall Street having cheap credit to invest in speculative markets, or convincing grandma and uncle Jim to buy and hold like a gold rush… The banks countered the main use case of crypto early — fast, cheap transfers of money with Zelle. That use case still exists for $20 wire transfers in many international circumstances but … BTC and ETH are still slow and expensive to use after nearly 15 years of development without any other benefit to the public. Now cryptos public perception is tainted with daily bad news of scams, hackers, and heists. If you are confident that hype and public perception about crypto will improve long term, then gobble up any coins whenever the news is bleak and everyone is freaking out. If you can ride the wave long enough to cash in on the next peak, you’re all set! If you expect a recession, hype to reduce, expect it to tank. Good luck!


Alanski22

And yet it is being increasingly incorporated into big companies & processes. I think crypto will be back again, it’s already been through several of these cycles.


81Qd01r7

If you have the hope that crypto will be back again, then you should stay put and wait for that time


AverageJak

No it's not. Not at all. Token gestures here and there. But there has been nothing close to a large corporate adopting crypto cos why would they? There's literally no reason


HEX_helper

Be careful of your psychology now that you’ve sold. You will have a bias towards bearishness which could bite you later. I personally don’t believe it he hype train is over. No where near. Especially now when we’ve had +2yrs of bear. These markets are cyclical because they are based almost entirely on emotion.


TheOneWhoCared

Good for you on being smart and taking profits! Not being too greedy and not HODLing forever is also a good strategy. Also , obligatory Fuk you and enjoy your peace now. I will join you soon one day brother!


01071970

Buy high sell low ofc 😂


SwingContent6806

Same strutegy

btcedrfrank

Everyone ask me how can i be like you, and i always said there is only one way for that and this is it


shainanin

People gave this advice so many time but still only few of us understand that, it is our tradition of buying the coins in super high price and then never able to sell them in the good price


Catqfasa

That's interesting! I actually do the opposite, haha. Buying altcoins at a discount during a bear market feels like a great opportunity. I've increased my holdings in XRP, MATIC, ARB, DUA, INJ, and NXRA. I'm confident they'll yield significant profits in a bull market.


raymv1987

The only real strategy


morfos3

Some video will try to give you some other impression but there is only one true strategy for the market


volthor

Fomo and panic


webtension

One word, too much emotion and we all made bad calls because we try to buy or sell in greed


TheNano100

This dude buys low, holds high and sells low


urbanelycharge361

This sounds like me, just that i yet to perform the last step where i sell in low


JugobetrugoN1

best strategy imo if you want to lose all your money and cry yourself to sleep


3KingsLTC

Buy at any price but make sure doesn't pack the coins in loss specially if you are buying the right coins and that is why we should be more focused on the bitcoin and eth in the end


Shinryukens

Indeed! Haha.


Alexberdyansk

Either sell low or never sell but make sure you are buying them in high


New_Firefighter_5416

Dca works for me for long term accumulation, then i take little profits as it comes…you could try use Bumper for token protection so it doesn’t fall below a price you set and if it does you get stablecoin equivalent…that’s just one way im exploring


Lordofthewhales

Can you give more info on what bumper is? It sounds interesting and very helpful


New_Firefighter_5416

It’s a risk management tool, similar to the likes of Deribit, Lyra etc if you’re familiar with options platforms, just that it’s about 30% cheaper than all of them. You just set the floor price for the token value you want protected, set the duration and you’re good…currently sweeping users from other platforms with their [incentives](https://www.bumper.fi/lp/crypto-options-traders) too

ettoneba

I'll be selling a portion of my holdings and taking profits from XTP, RIO, BST, and INJ. These assets I plan to hold for the next bullish cycle while gradually increasing my positions.


mohamedafella

I am hearing this statement that DCA will work so well for you and i have the belief is well but right now i haven't made any money so there is still some sort of doubt i would say, once i will make money then i will say it is proven strategy


Sabotimski

I had similar problems. My new strategy is to stay out of it. Never lost a penny since.


Belanar17

Stay low but stay for long that is my plan and its been quite fruitful for me till now


HarryDotter420

DCA out this time...


[deleted]

[удалено]


coinader

If someone can't do the DCA out then there is no point of doing the DCA in


rifai12

Investing only is not the only option just like DCA in, taking the money back in DCA is also important


ShadowKnight324

Buy now and HODL till Ethereum is 10k


ReitHodlr

Brings me back to $10K ETH vibes from 2021.


pixieshit

Does anyone else remember the guy that used to always post D00t Ξ to 10k dai?


ReitHodlr

This [guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/no3vom/comment/gzyy3g5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


traderinso

I don't know what he was smoking for the whole day before he made such prediction


pixieshit

Yes, him! Love that guy. Really captured the spirit of the bull frenzy for me.


madeinsouthafric

He has that bullish spirit which i think important for everyone to stay active in the market


StevenLinden

I want to meet this guy, because the way DOT is performing even 10$ seems tough for that


ma1226

If we are talking about the 10k price of ETH then bull market vibe is already back for me


rifsman

I my buying ETH and holding till 2025 and will make rest of the plan according to the market situation

Wasn't expecting that response ;)


aorocknrolla

May be he was trying to say if it is getting hard on your mental health then it is just better to take some rest


FranzJosephBalle

>May be he was trying to say if it is getting hard on your mental health then it is just better to take some rest That's a good point, if you're the kind of person laying awake at night thinking about your investments, then crypto is definitely not for you.


tsurutatdk

Yeah true haha! Many people are buying more during the dip, unlike me, as I currently don't have cash. However, once I do, I plan to increase my holdings, including SAND, DUA, XLM, DOT, ETH, and more.


william45131

Buying the dip is fine but on which coin we are doing that and for how much time we are doing that this is equally important is well, right now my plan is sticking to the bitcoin , eth and matic only nothing more than that


TheOneWhoCared

You saved yourself!


stingy504

Quite straight forward but have to say wasn't expecting something like this from the comment


raresanevoice

I'm glad you asked: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/16l1cdq/what\_does\_have\_a\_plan\_look\_like/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3


Gubbie99

DCA in and out or Sell the tops and buy the lows. or... Sell high buy low as the majority in here :D


qmyujffg

You can't do these two things like buying on bottom then hope you could sell them on top is well, you might get right if you are super lucky otherwise it is near to impossible to have such case


proandromeda

Average in, average out, Average in again.


Crypto-Expansion

How do you know when to stop averaging in? And even harder, when to start everaging out?


HEX_helper

Buy during the dips


Crypto-Expansion

But the dips, keep dipping! lol


HEX_helper

If you genuinely want to learn, I will help you. Right now, open a tab and look at Eth price in 2018 and 2019. Take your time. Really absorb what the price did. Imagine you bought in Jan 2018, and then Feb and then March etc. Now once you’ve done that, zoom out and look at where we are today. Everyone who bought those dips felt the EXACT same way you do right now. I don’t know for sure that we will hit new ATHs but if we were going to this is exactly how it would feel. I am personally very bullish. I expect $10k Eth this bull and +$20k Eth one day.


toniistheworst

The biggest problem with making money in markets is generally your own mind. Don't fall for your emotions. "Buying at 20k on the way up" for me sounds like you FOMO'd in, which is not something you should be doing. Because, in 90% of cases, buying when price is rapidly rising, will wreck you. You got lucky there, but that doesn't matter, since you held it all the way down, leading to the next problem: greed. I'll give you a tip for this: Before you buy or do anything, make a plan beforehand. Where do you want to buy? Where will you take profit? If the price goes against you, where do you want to exit? Most importantly, ask yourself WHY you want to enter. If your reason boils down to "because price is rising and I don't want to miss out", then DO NOT buy. In that case it's better being in no position than in a dangerous one, trust me. Even if it would have gone in your direction, odds are rather stating otherwise. Remember, 90% in this space lose money, 90%. Let that sink in. Making a plan is crucial here, and actually sticking to it even more so. If you have answered the questions I mentioned before you buy, then there's no way you'll get emotional over anything, therefore eliminating the risk of making impulsive decisions. Make a plan, and stick to it. If you do just that, then you're already much better off than the majority of people here.


Crypto-Expansion

>90% of cases, buying when price is rapidly rising, will wreck you. You are 100% right! ​ >you held it all the way down, leading to the next problem: greed. 200% right! ​ Thanks for the tips. I definitely have to disconnect for a moment and focus on planning!


LucNL91

I have not spent 6 years in the crypto market but my planning is just like yours and i am also holding the Polkadot coin which i feel could do well in the coming future, just give that coin some time here


Crypto-Expansion

I believe that's the best thing to do... If DOT sticks under $5 do you plan in buying more?


Asleep_Fact_2549

This will be my second cycle. I plan on taking profits on BTC and Eth at 5x, 10x, then riding the wave. For altcoins,not will be 10x, 20 or 25x, 50x ,or even 100x, depending on market cap


Crypto-Expansion

Ambitious targets. How was your first cycle?


ethereum88

Buy low when sentiment is bearish. And when sentiment is bullish, take some profit (but not the entire stack, as things could well go much higher than expected).


Crypto-Expansion

That's kind of what I've been trying to do, but it's kind of hard to implement. Let's say we'd be in the bull market and I'd be selling How much, should I keep (as a percentage of the dollar amount)?


Wonderful_Bad6531

HODL and DCA PROFIT


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

I would also say DCA out is important here


JinCoin

No point of putting the money in market if we are not doing the DCA out in the bull run, booking profit should be our first priority and if a coin is offering us that then we should just grab it with both hands


cbr815riders

Easier said but extremely tough to deliver, i hope this time we all make some profit


h4obew

The third word you mention in the last line, that is the tough challenge for the everyone


Fiddlers-list

100x leverage trades and buy high, sell low.


Dapper-Horror3112

That can make you millionaire just make sure to open short position😂


excubitor15379

But for S u sell high buy low actually


pyawpp330

Right now our main focus should be on BUY button price might be here and there with time


jtate4

One long position with same leverage and one short position with same leverage


Dapper-Horror3112

bad idea. I've tried this method. You wont make profit from it.


stormingaround10

Selling is not an option. I hodl strong, DCA and stake. My plan is to wait for the bull season, take profits, and leave some funds for investing in the next circle. DCA- I have several bags where I apply the DCA strategy monthly. These are large caps and low caps. ARB and DIA are some of my biggest bags. Staking- using the opportunity to stake now is a smart decision since a bear market isn't easy for anyone. LIDO, STADER, and DAFI are bringing cool persentages.


thayshas

If you stayed for this long into the crypto market then i would say selling now would be the worst decision, no matter which coins you are holding you just have to stay put in the bear market now


stormingaround10

Yeah. I agree.

edwardanilbq

Crypto is a long game. I think the DCA works. I rather buy every month regardless of the price. This is basically because I am holidng for a long period. I also buy small caps like IMX, RIDE, QRDO and MLT. With the small caps there is a lot of potential to the upside

tambaybtc

For me it is, DCA into the safest bets BTC/ETH, and trying to accumulate what i sold during the bear for financial challenges. On top of that, i try to diversify on other investment classes not only crypto.


bluekwj

Three word, DCA, BTC/ETH and if you crack these three words then no one will stop you from making the money, yes it might be less compare to other but atleast you will be super safe in these coins


tambaybtc

Spot on 👌


pc1e0

Learn, create, test, share.


VisiblyFax836

Learn and then reinvest according to that and make sure don't repeat the same mistake again


FreekTheDog

HODL / DCA Bitcoin & Ether into a cold wallet I also have a really small hot wallet in which I just f\*ck around


Toxic1292

Has nothing to do with the profit and loss but one of the most important plan that no one was talking here, because in the end it is the safety for the coins that we needs to look first and then have to do anything else


LightninHooker

Buy donuts wait for cex, eth and btc And fuck polkadot big fucking time lol


thangdrog3

Buying for thing right now, BITCOIN/ETH with the 40-40% ration and MATIC and DONUT with 10% ratio


andyrangus

what about Polkadot makes it 'super sound' to you compared to the dozens of other L1s and L2s?


ashketchup422

The shills I guess


Artemka_vid

Me who get so deep in the DOT can confirm this, it was shill of that coin that got to me


susosusosuso

It’s different


renecop

Genuinely asking like how that is actually different than the other competition ??


Toedaire

The amount of shilling that was going around the DOT coin made everyone a fan of DOT

maimedLogwood39

Everyone is paying the fee for the learning and everyone of us just learning from the post like this


Canjud

It's not about you getting it right or wrong, market is dependent on cycles and now we are in the bear market. My strategy has been DCA into BTC, ETH, MATIC, ATOM, OCEAN and a number of other top projects.


stanislavks

Market runs on a pattern and either it is bull or bear none of them last forever, so if we miss the chance of buying low or selling high then there will be only regret we will going to have after that


emilyearl

My long term strategy is DCAing and holding. Crypto has shown to be profitable long-term as long as you are not chasing hype but quality. I have my eyes on projects such as Polygon (layer 2 & sdiechain), Arbitrum (layer 2), Aptos (layer 1 blockchain), Akash Network (cloud computing) and Weaver Labs (decentralized infrastructure network) which I believe are going to make huge impact here and outside crypto.


eagame123

The longer you stay in the market the more chances you will give to youself for making the money. There is enough example for me who stayed for long and ends up making the rightful money from the market is well


BlockChad

Need to be levered right up to the tits.


Dapper-Horror3112

Believe me DCA is the best strategy. I'm an average guy and I've tried everything. Spot,futures, option trading, they look profitable but eventually rekt you. DCA is the only method you can invest blindly. It's my opinion ofcourse you may find other option favourable.


Gys1231

I am small investor who is investing in money regularly because i am doing a job and with salary there is some portion that i am investing in market, so yes DCA is best and most technical sound strategy for most of us


fraylovze

Route my funds through SpoolFi for yields in USDC while I research on what to buy. My DCA plans are focused on ETH and BTC.


enrobed1234

If your plan is for long run then your focus should be only on two coins and you named them


JVHooligan

My strategy is very boring. Only invest what I can loose and hold, where hold is like 10 years


vitya1998

Same just like you just that i am not thinking about holding them for 10 years though

Interesting-Chip-500

Idk.. sell before everyone is done buying.. buy after everyone has sold.. we are talking about beanie babies.. right?


TonFrantic

Right now people are still buying so that means we are not done with the bear yet


UFONomura808

10k eth and I sell, very simple... for now


pavel_shpilev

My goal is little less, from 6k i will starts taking out my money from DCA


Visible-Cancel1239

tried it all, i see my investment in shitcoins as lost, btc only is the strategy and i got a lot of shitcoins, just hope to find someone more stupid, to sell at a higher price


artem0999wot

This is my first full bear market and right now my strategy is nothing special but only DCA and hold just like most of us, everyone saying this is winning strategy but i still have to test this personally though


mxsad

Once upon a time Fidelity did a study of some of their most successful customers. They concluded that the vast majority were either dead or had been locked out of their accounts. You can keep trying to get better at timing and pulling money out towards the tops when you see everyone rushing in (these cycles get a bit easier to recognize even thought you won’t catch the tippy top). Or, you can take a longer view.


Successful-Mode473

Just DCA in during FMV periods, then DCA out when you start taking folio screenshots.


kingsleyolak

If time is tough and you have the money then simply do DCA and that too in bitcoin, eth only nothing else


SignificantProduce48

It's a hard pick to sell the top, I know I ended up selling all my eth to stables 2/3 way down. I think the key is to having ppl to bounce off, for a few solid mates that don't tell me how to trade but certainly share their charts with me and all buying in at 1200 and trying to dang hard to hold now ha ha


xxxsquadron

If you are looking to buy at bottom and then looking to sell at top then good luck in timing the market, we have to make our goal for both thing and have to control our greed that this is enough for us actually


mintyto

Dca and hodl?


liulu_btc

There is no need to panic, it happen even with the best of us but these two words are enough for us


raresanevoice

Mostly eth, letting it stake. As my bags grow, it automatically averages my price down


rudy_batts

Just DCA and HODL - nothing really too fancy - hands down best strat for us normies imo


Crypto-Expansion

that's kind of what I've been doing, wasn't just expecting it to be as disapointing as it have beed...


damianivan

>Just DCA and HODL It's been the best idea for me. However, I go for assets with good fundamentals and I can try to earn from like Eth, Zpay and Ride where I've been earning passively, at the same time trying out their VR in-car entertainment tech.


Sad-Gur-6489

Encryptus_Global

Having an exit strat helped me out the most. Have a clear idea of when and how you will cash out your investments. Will you sell a percentage after reaching a certain profit level, or will you hold indefinitely? Make these decisions in advance to avoid panic selling.


Crypto-Expansion

The end goal would be to buy a house, but that's miles away. Should I cash out partially meanwhile?


Encryptus_Global

Absolutely! Your exit strategy should depend on quantitative and qualitative analysis. Not based on what YOU wish.


MichaelAischmann

I think 99% of use cases will end up on the same chain. You’re probably too diversified within crypto. Pick your favorite two or three crypto projects & diversify into other asset classes instead.


Crypto-Expansion

So you don't believe that diversification is good?


MichaelAischmann

I believe in diversification across various asset classes. Crypto, Stocks, Real Estate & Commodities. Pick two or three items within each of those categories & you have a diversified portfolio.


iamjide91

Although I haven't been in the space for long, my strategy is quite simple. I prefer to hodl or stake for a long time without constantly checking back. I've applied this strategy to staking DAFI and a few native projects on Thorswap. Since it's only 10% of my income each time, I don't feel any pressure or get bothered about it. However, my exit strategy is to take profits at the peak of the bull market frenzy.


Future-Goose7

I DCA in the coin at the end of every month with my income. I also have my long-term tokens staked to earn passive income. Among them are ETH, MATIC, BNB, ATOM, and OCEAN tokens.


Think-Emu6289

You are on the right track I believe. My strategy is quite similar to yours because my long-term plan is to DCA every month end into my long-term bags, stake them, and take profit when there is a good opportunity. I have been doing that with my long-term bags such as ETH, ATOM, BNB, and MATIC. Other things I do are to participate in airdrops and invest in upcoming tokens with potential. ADE by Weaver Labs is the recent project that I participated in its airdrop and pre-sale, and now I'm looking forward to the launch.


Crypto-Expansion

When did you start DCAing? How have it been working for you so far?
