The world of cryptocurrencies offers various possibilities for millions of users around the world.

That is why before starting to invest, it is essential that we understand what type of strategy we will use, what type of profitability we are looking for and carefully analyze the different options offered by the cryptocurrency market.
Get the right investment strategy
It will be key to be able to define the type of strategy that we will carry out in order to fulfill our investment purpose.
That is why the investor must understand if he is looking to obtain an investment with high returns and high levels of volatility or, on the contrary, if he wants to make an investment with stable returns and low levels of volatility.
After having defined the risk level of the investment, we must define the type of investment we want to make in relation to the time of return or profit.
We can understand that investments could be made with a view to long-term profitability or, conversely, short-term.
Understand the type of asset
Once the investor has defined the type of investment which he will carry out, after having understood the types of ROI, acronyms also known as Return On Investment.
The investor must understand that the cryptocurrency market has several investment possibilities and different types of assets, with dissimilar risk levels.
Depending on the type of investment that the investor has chosen to obtain in the previous step, they will be able to invest in a stablecoin or a value asset, among other options.
The well-known stable cryptocurrencies such as Tether usually have low or zero levels of volatility, since they are usually backed by a real asset such as the dollar or gold, among others.
If the investor wants to make a long-term investment with low levels of volatility, stablecoins will be the right choice.
If, on the other hand, the investor wants to make an investment with a high ROI and a high level of risk, then value currencies like Bitcoin will be the right options.

The White paper can be of great help to understand how serious the team behind the cryptocurrency is, in which the user will invest.
What do the experts think?
Javier Castro Acuña, Bitnovo's business controller, says: “Before investing in a project, you have to ask yourself many questions and make a decision based on the answers. Some of the main questions I would ask myself before investing in a project are: what team is behind it, what are their achievements, how capable are they of executing, what investment have they obtained, what community is behind it, what problem does their product solve, is it audited, do they have a clear roadmap, how is their token distributed and how does it generate value, how does it fit into my portfolio, who is supporting the project, in which values would I take profits, in which would I cut losses? ”
Marcos Bravo Catalán, Founder of Beps Global Consultores, says: "The cryptocurrency market offers various investment possibilities to millions of users around the world, it is important that the investor study the type of risk and ROI in detail, before investing."
