How do you invest safely?

[Thitical Crinker]

This is not about investment advice, as such. But I have been itching to start investing in crypto-related projects (coin sites, NFT tech, games, etc.) and have come across a few interesting ones. The problem is, in today's world, handing over money to someone seems about as safe as throwing it from a moving car and hoping the right people catch it. I am totally okay with investments having some risk, I even like to put a bit into unlikely projects in case they take off. But I do not want to just hand some money over to a project and then realize they just ran away with it.

So my question is, how do _you_ invest in projects, regardless of the size, in ways where you feel you are not going to get outright robbed? If I want to put a few grand into Billy Bob's Crypto Cousins Emporium (not a real project...) but do not want to just hand over cash to someone in another country who then shuts down the operation and runs cackling to the bank with what was my but is now their money, what are my best options?

One of the safest ways to any investment is to understand what you intend to invest your hard earn bucks. Crypto is still developing and lots of scammers have taken advantage of the industry by scamming many enthusiasts.
The most common crypto advice has always been DYOR (Do Your Own Research) i.e. conduct convincing research into any project you want to invest your fund and don't invest more than you can afford to lose.

[Shezcute Abbie]

To succeed in cryptocurrency investment, it's important to conduct extensive research and invest in projects that offer real-life solutions. For instance, I invested in AD, the native token of ADreward, when it was listed on Bitget. ADreward provides solutions for marketing and advertising, making it a valuable project for someone like me who's both a business person and a crypto enthusiast. Don't blindly invest your funds without researching.

[Thitical Crinker]

Sounds reasonable enough, yes! Are there any public case documentations of how someone went bout this? Everything out there just seems to say "and then we invested", without really talking about the grit of DYOR as it applies to non-local projects (IRL local projects are all I have experience with, tbh). Not looking for a tutorial, of course, but seeing the thoughts that someone with a crypto background had would be very interesting. There are some really, really cool projects out there that I am very tempted to drop a few grand into, but I can't finance everyone od them. So I guess this is me starting the whole DYOR path

I don't usually use my own money for investments so I don't regret it later. I use money from giveaways and contests in various projects where you can win a small amount of money, for example web3quest from TFS https://zealy.io/c/fairspin/questboard (this is not a referral link), they have a contest going on right now, so you should also participate and get some money for your investment.

[Rembroman]

I agree with you, it is better to invest not your own money, it is better to get some money from various contests and giveaways and invest it, so at least it will not be miserable. You can participate in web3quest from TFS https://zealy.io/c/fairspin/questboard (this is not a referral link). There now easy quests for which you can easily get a part of the prize fund. So try to participate, you still have time until July 27th

Main reason for safety investment is to look for project info such as team , community, roadmaps ,whiteppaper. How many interest does people who invest have,what are their experience also. Project does not have to be in your country to be thrustworty ,really does not there is no rule for that.

[Doovla]

Safe invest consider long term analyze specific project and do the right move in the right time,having timing. Option is to search for experience users that had experience and if it is positive then react. Negative comments provide guidance which is good. If you do own reasearch then like i mention search for experience but there are people doing that for you if you pay them ofcourse or they create group called trading signal ,right time for buying and selling. Looking for project that has big story behind and if they on the right track for completing that all tasks they promise and they are verified or sponsored than it is also safety invest.

[shibapancakes]

First off, due diligence is your best bud. Research the project and the team behind it like you're an FBI agent or somethin'. Second, maybe start with a smaller investment and see how they handle it. Test the waters before diving in. If you're still iffy, look for projects that have some kind of escrow or smart contract mechanism to make sure they don't just bounce with your cash. Trust but verify. And hey, always remember, only invest what you're cool with losin'—that's like, Rule #1 in the crypto playbook.

[NewspaperD2]

You should review previous successful projects, thoroughly research them, and from there, you can evaluate whether or not you should invest in that project.

[Doovla]

The first thing you need to do is to choose CMC top 10 CEX exchange where you will be able to follow hot coins and gain coins. It's one thing to invest in staking, and another is to literally invest and wait for growth, whether for a short or long term. And there is the possibility of Futures, where the profit output is the most realistic of other tools.

@Doovla, You are answering a question asked a little less than a year ago, and the question also refers to investing in projects (not in cryptocurrencies directly). Your answer doesn't really make any sense...

[Crypto Library]

I think if anyone do invest with low risk then the should choose Bitcoin investment for long term strategy with DCA management. Here you don't have to invest large amount of your fund at once you can invest on it on the based of monthly or weekly.
Now if you are short term trader than you can also choose Bitcoin but in this case the profit amount will be lower if your fund is also low. You can do investment on the those project who have a standard circulating supply Max supply, and also based on good technology. Like you can invest on those project who are listed on the top action just like binance and Kucoin. Recently I have doing some new coin who are listing on binance specially from the launch pool pad.

None, to be exact, crypto is like a wild wild west out there, you either survived on die early. So that is the risk that you have to take. And so if you are not willing then I will say don't invest on crypto. It's because you don't know what the outcome will be of your investment. Whatever you spin the words, still comes down that you want to make sure that your hard earn money will not go to zero and projects that you invest will not rug pull. But we don't know that, even if you look at the team behind or the white paper, still there are no assurance that your money will grow, just saying. So no one can give you the right financial advise you are not willing to take that first leap and risk.

I'm not sure if I can invest safely;
Because there is no safe or truly safe way to invest in crypto, there will definitely be risks. But if you say investment in what carries the least risk, then the answer is definitely Bitcoin. This is no longer in doubt. Bitcoin always becomes the first investment to take. Next, if you want altcoins, I'll only venture into top coins. Not hype coins or even shit coins. They are higher risks more and more.
