    Two important points that you made I think are worth repeating:

    • Don't leverage. Invest what you can afford to lose
    • Have a long term horizon
      The first one is important if you want to avoid bankruptcies. The second basically means you are a buy-and-hold investor. Short term trading is either arbitrage or gambling. (and Arbitrage = zero risk, in other words, a guaranteed gain. A lot of people think they are in an arbitrage situation but they are not)

    Great strategy. I was thinking of buying and selling some btc, eth and xmr as well. But I don't have a concrete strategy in place. I just know on top of my head that the price within a month is falling, then I would buy. If it shoots up, I would sell. Clearly I am not really a trader and rely only on my gut feeling. Thanks for sharing your strategy. I now have a clear view on how would I do it if I proceed with my plan. Of course I only have micro account on those currencies but it's a good learning experience.

    Wow, fantastic read. This completely opened my eyes to the possibilities of crypto currencies. As the stock market has been bad to me lately, I am going to do more research on crypto currency investments. thank you

    Great post, even if it's not the best strategy.

    Did you invest in STEEM though when it crossed $10M? I see that you don't have any added STEEM power to your account.

    As I mentioned, I dont like that STEEM Power is locked 2 years. In this time I cannot sell.
