and you will get a 25 sign up bonus the first mistake that beginners coming into the crypto space tend to make is not doing their research this can be in the form of maybe listening to one two three or maybe even four different influences and
not actually doing some solid research themselves this is a common mistake that you tend to find that these beginners come into the crypto space after listening or watching some youtube videos and
one of these mistakes might be that they're actually paying attention to an influencer who is shilling a particular kind of coin that's incredibly low value so it has a lots of potential to the upside at least that's how it is pitched so it's important that when you actually start digging into these cryptocurrencies that you do a very good research on not only the price elements of a cryptocurrency the tokenomics the white paper the team and
their actual use cases and if you do these things properly this research can become a true foundation to a good solid investment without that research you tend to find that you're investing in things that genuinely have a very little value and
unfortunately there are many of them in this space we talk about this quite frequently on our live streams that there are over 10 000 cryptocurrencies today and some of them were only ever created to part you with your hard-earned money so research is absolutely crucial
and a part of that research absolutely has to be understanding what the cryptocurrency is up to what it plans to do in the future what its use case is who are the team behind the cryptocurrency the value of it today
and the potential value of it in five to ten years from now these are the foundation levels of good solid research that will set you on the right path to investing in cryptocurrency so number two on the list is not diversifying your portfolio so we again this is one we talk about an awful lot on live streams and in videos
and for beginners it's an easy mistake or an easy trap particularly with the tribalism within the crypto space so basically what i mean by this is you know you basically putting all your eggs in one basket or betting i guess is another way to frame it that that one particular cryptocurrency is going to be a success
and it's going to make you the 10x or the 100x or whatever your strategy is i guess so diversifying is really important and we talk about this on the show all the time you know you don't want to be putting your money all in one project it's really important to diversify so obviously number one on our list was doing your research so research maybe three possibly four projects
and if you've got a thousand dollars to invest in crypto you would be better off maybe just putting i don't know 40 in one and then just splitting it out evenly across the other three for example at least you're hedging your bets that way third on our list has to be trying to use leverage this unfortunately is a poor strategy for pretty much all beginners this is something that's really only better for advanced traders
and even me and chris we tend to avoid leverage at all risks and ultimately we find this thing a little bit too dangerous and a little bit um you know out there for for beginners so leverage is basically using borrowed money to invest in cryptocurrencies that you have to pay back later um
and two really common ways um to do this is basically to increase your exposure for shorting uh if you think the price of a cryptocurrency is likely to go down and likewise to purchase cryptocurrency if you think the price of a cryptocurrency is going to go up this means that you can multiply the factors of gains by let's say 10 to 100 times but also if you get it wrong you can multiply your losses by 10 to 100 times as well
and this is quite a common mistake that beginners tend to do is they get into leverage thinking that they can put a thousand dollars in play with a hundred thousand and they think that things are going up or going down according to their bets
and i do use the word bets because i feel that losing leverage is a gambling mentality you are basically gambling that a cryptocurrency is either going to go up or a cryptocurrency is going to go down
and you can multiply your gains unfortunately for beginners uh if they dabble into this this could leave them uh without their investment at all as we've seen recently with the bitcoin crash a lot of people who were using leverage retail investors that were using leverage specifically were liquidated during bitcoin's crash the exchanges had notorious for crashing during these kind of uh really difficult times within the crypto market
and ultimately very few people were able to log on exit their positions before getting liquidated and we've seen this time and time and time again so the best kind of thing really for beginners in this space is to avoid using leverage and ultimately if you cannot afford to invest in a cryptocurrency
and you're relying on leverage then it probably isn't something for you so number four on the list nick has to be buying more than you can afford to lose now we again another one we talk about on live streams
and videos an awful lot is not over extending yourself which is basically the same thing so if you're new in the space the chances are you're gonna make mistakes be it sending crypto to the wrong wallet address for example or just investing in one of these um coins that you know
hasn't really got any use case if you you new to the space it's easy to to sort of fomo into some of these projects uh with the fear of missing out so we always say it's really important to have a strategy when in investing in in crypto so you know one of those would be the you know for myself i don't just invest in crypto i also invest in the metal market
and property as well uh but you know just keeping it on to to the crypto side of things it's it's easy to to lose money if you you don't know what you're doing right and not investing in the right projects with the right fundamentals the use case team
and everything that we've covered earlier when doing your research but you don't want to put all of your money in into crypto it's easy to get carried away particularly in a ball cycle wherever if it's going up
and we see this regularly that people are putting their rent money into a particular project thinking five days later it's you know it's gonna continue to go up and then they're gonna have a little bit more money and pay their rent and then have a little bit of extra cash left over unfortunately that's highly risky
and one of the things to avoid if you're new in this space and last on the list guys has to be exit strategy
and specifically making your exit strategy before purchasing any cryptocurrencies before any assets uh particularly a digital coin without having an exit plan could be a disaster you must have your stop losses in place a mental framework planned in advance in order to accomplish your primary objectives you cannot let those losses
mount up if the market continues to get tougher exit strategies really do help mitigate against those extreme losses on the on the other hand an extra strategy is always key even if you are winning uh your bet with crypto currencies investors who don't have a deep knowledge
of market psychology could also lose their money without knowing it if they do not know how to sell or have a good exit strategy in advance so due to you know expectations of further price growth or just because they think they can get a little bit more by hanging on a little bit longer or there's
going to be another bounce to the upside these are all things that could lead to significant losses of your gains so having this exit strategy really figured out before you actually get into a cryptocurrency is absolutely key this is something that we do quite a bit for our members section where we talk about cryptocurrencies that we are invested in
and where we think our exit strategies are likely to be on our exit points for specific kind of coins this is the kind of strategy that you should be thinking about it should be implementing ahead of time this will allow you to exit cleanly and smoothly under both scenarios of a an extreme loss scenario or also setting on the way up
and without actually fear of actually losing those gains and it's absolutely crucial so those are our five mistakes that we think that a lot of beginners do actually make in this space and things to potentially avoid in order to make your crypto experience much more efficient
and you know it's less stressful chris what do you what do you think yeah hopefully that that really helps people that are new in the space i think it's really important that we do these types of videos
and again i think it's really important that if we've missed any um mistakes that people commonly make or you made when you first entered the space comment below let people know because i think having that is just going to be supportive of new people coming in this space
and i've talked about this quite a lot on on the the channel live streams videos twitter facebook and tick tock
and all these places right that it's it's not good for adoption if people that are new in the space get burnt really important that people can learn from people like ourselves with experience because i think that's healthy for adoption in this space which is healthy for everybody's investments absolutely i think it's crucial that these new investors who are looking to potentially get into cryptocurrency have a good understanding of the common mistakes that people often make
and if we can mitigate some of those then that would be fantastic guys if you found this video useful and informative do go ahead and hit that like button we both really appreciate it and of course if you happen to be new to the channel
