Is Short Term Thinking A Common Crypto currency Investments Mistake?

Shelby M.C. Davis says, “Invest for the long haul. Don’t get too greedy and don’t get too scared.” 

And Warren Buffett believes, “The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.”

So? Do these investments gurus’ pieces of advice suggest that long term crypto currency investments are better than investing in crypto for the short term?


You would find your answer after considering the following factors;


1. The size of your net worth..

2. Your personal investment goals

3. Risk tolerance.


1. The size of your net worth. 

Someone in a weaker financial situation would more likely want to invest in crypto for the short term as opposed to a higher net worth individual.

You wouldn’t want to tie down your money in a long term investment in crypto currencies when you have many needs and wants competing for fewer funds in your possession, would you?

 Building your financial fortune quickly would certainly be one of your personal investment goals. 

2. What are your personal investment goals? 

 Your investment goals are a product of your  present financial situation.


A long term investment in crypto would be one of your investment goals when you’re in a stronger financial situation.


After assessing your net worth and investment goals , you may want to assess your risk tolerance before deciding on either short or long term investment in crypto.


3. What is risk tolerance? This is your ability and preparedness to absorb a decline in the value of your investments. It varies from person to person.

Naira Redesign, Withdrawal Limits And Credit Worthiness of Nigerians.

  Currency redesign by the Central Bank of Nigeria and its complementary withdrawal limits have come to stay. The recent news from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is an indication of the near irreversibility of the policy implementation. The news claimed that volume of currency in circulation, not in vaults of banks has dropped by at least 5 percent in just one month. So withdrawal limits are going to be enforced to the letter but Nigerians may not have the luxury of time (Senate is urging CBN to set June 30, 2023 as the new deadline).  In the event of no deadline extension beyond January 31st, 2023, how're Nigerians going to make urgent purchases above weekly withdrawal limits? Or even make long term arrangements? Financial transactions are often done on two bases, cash and credit.

Balancing the budget is like going to heaven. Everybody wants to do it, but nobody wants to do what you have to do to get there.– Phil Gramm.

Every budget is a test of your capability to balance your expenses and your income. It's a tough test that many of us fail. The reason is simple, most of us are never prepared to live within our means. Most of us when we have a little, we want to prove to those who don't really care about us that we have arrived  and when we're sent packing from the heaven the people built for us, we go outside our means to buy mansions in the hottest part of hell in attempt to prove to the world that we are still in heaven. Who really cares about where you're , what you have and how you are at any time of your life? Maybe your loved ones, outside them you're alone. So, if you want to balance your budget and achieve financial freedom, you've to die to what people think of your lifestyle, how they live without fiscal discipline and live within your means.
