As an investor, the major purpose of investing is to have what can be called a backup plan when life situations happen. As an investor, you'll need to have a side hustle to keep life moving, as what is invested is not for immediate use.
For me, I run a business, which is not sufficiently taking care of my daily necessities, but yet invest all my crypto earnings mostly in Bitcoin as a safer coin for good profit returns in every bullish trend and hold some altcoins that could be profitable in the long run. These altcoins are the ones I fear to experience losses, and even though losses comes, I don't let it eat me down, rather I sell some fractions of my Bitcoin to get other altcoins.
