Me.. was sick of making a pathetic 1.5% with Santander.. invested 10% of my savings into 16 different crypto coins. (60% bitcoin). I've managed to turn £3.2k into £4.6k in 2 months.
That includes an absolute disastrous decision I made involving Litecoin and Ethereum which would of meant that £4.6k would now be about £5.5k0 -

Just be careful. You've gone from zero investment risk to "off the scale" risk, which is a huge step. If your £4.6k turns into £460 because the bubble bursts, you may well miss the 1.5% you could have had from Santander.

That's why I only invested 10%. I very much doubt they will crash back to November 2017 level. Even the whales won't want it that cheap.0 -
It's still not as bad as it would be trading in a leveraged account. At least any potential losses would be limited to the amount invested!
Of course, we don't know if prices will continue to go up or if they will go down. Same as any investment or speculation. You calculate your risks and, if they fall within your chosen parameters, you take those risks to secure better returns at the expense of those greater volatilities.0 -
Invested just over £500 to have a dabble. My investment is mixed between XRP , Bitcoin & Etherium. I think I bought at a bad time so am currently out of pocket since the dip, but I am in it for the long term to see what comes of it all. Should be interesting!0

i like that strategy. one of my colleagues uses a similar strategy with virtually everything he touches.. he has a substantial portfolio which i merrily tells us was "FOC".ChesterDog wrote: »I have lots of investments. This isn't one. This is just an interesting game.
