Which Crypto Should I Invest In? Is Bitcoin A Good Choice? (English/Turkish)

in #bitcoin6 years ago (edited)

My appetite for investing in crypto currencies increased as I entered the crypto world on the occasion of Steemit. The fact that prices have declined considerably compared to the summit in January increases my motivation on this issue.

However, I have a problem: I can't decide which crypto I should invest in.

Even the most conservative experts have accepted that blockchain technology will be permanent. The crypto world is growing rapidly. When I started to deal cryptos, there were about 1,500 crypto currencies. As a potantial investor who wanted to get to know this world, I found this number high.

There is 3543 crypto currencies in the world today according to https://coinranking.com statistics. Which one of these are we going to invest in? The information given specifically for any crypto is not enough for me. I want to make a comparison, see the big picture. Analyzing all the cryptos is beyond a human's intellectual capacity. The most appropriate solution seems to be to start with the most valuable and common crypto currencies. This is why I decided to start with Bitcoin. I think it would be useful to examine the crypto currencies individually in order to learn about blockchain technology.

As of today, Bitcoin's total market value is 126,83 billion dollars. According to the https://coinranking.com data, the total value of the crypto world is 282,44 billion dollars. Bitcoin makes 44.9% of the crypto world.

Bitcoin's Strengths

The total number of Bitcoin, which has a 10-year history, is restricted to 21 million. There are 17.08 million Bitcoin in circulation. As time goes on, it gets hard to mine Bitcoin. It is estimated that the last Bitcoin will be released in 2136. The limited supply of Bitcoin and the rising difficulty of mining Bitcoin as time goes on have an upward impact on the price.

When I get to know this world, I remember that I was thinking: There are only 21 million bitcoins in the world, versus 7.6 billion people. I must have one of those Bitcoins!

Bitcoin plays an intermediary role exchanging other crypto currencies into fiat currencies. There are 3420 Bitcoin ATMs in the world. This number is growing rapidly. You can reach the geographic distribution of these ATMs on this link

According to the Metcalfe law, the value of a network increases in proportion to the square of the number of people using it. In this context, it is no wonder that Bitcoin, the most well-known crypto, has gained so much value with the advantage of being the first. I beleive that crypto prices will continue to increase in accordance with the Metcalfe law.

According to thehttps://bitinfocharts.com statistics, 222.997 Bitcoin transactions occured in the last 24 hours. Average transaction amount is 4,47 BTC, median transaction amount is 0,05 BTC. When these statistics are compared with other major crypto currencies, we see that the average BTC transaction amounts are high. There are 894.705 people following Bitcoin from Reddit. We see that Bitcoin is ahead of most of the statistics showing the prevalence.

There is a huge liquidity arising from the prevalence of Bitcoin. It is easier for big investors to invest in Bitcoin because it has a deeper market compared to other crypto currencies.

Bitcoin is also widely used as a payment tool compared to other Crypto currencies. Bitcoin is also less volatile compared to others.

Bitcoin's Weaknesses

One of the most important weaknesses of bitcoin is electricity consumption. According to the proof of work principle, the approval of operations in Bitcoin takes longer than modern cryptos and operations consume higher processor power.

Another weakness of Bitcoin is that the trading fees are high compared to crypto coins such as Bitcoin cash, Litecoin. The progress of the processing fees is in the following graphic, which I got from https:/bitinfocharts.com/

The functions, such as the distribution of distributed application development and smart contracts, which are valid for subsequently produced crypto currencies such as Etherium, Neo, are not in question for Bitcoin.

Conclusion

In addition to the advantages of being the first, there are disadvantages. Crypto currencies emerged after Bitcoin was founded on more advanced infrastructure by taking lessons fgrom Bitcoin. Of course, improvements are made on Bitcoin, but these improvements have not yet achieved the desired improvement over processing time and transaction costs.

If I had the right to invest in a single crypto, I would not have used my vote for Bitcoin, but if I wanted to create a crypto money, it would be appropriate to have some Bitcoin in it.

I'm not neither an investment nor a crypto currency expert. The information I share in this article should be read as the thoughts of a potential investor who is curious about the crypto world.

Thanks for reading.

Hangi Kripto Paraya Yatırım Yapmalıyım? Bitcoin İyi Bir Seçim Mi?

Steemit vesilesiyle kripto dünyasına dahil olup blok zinciri teknolojisini tanıdıkça kripto paralara yatırım iştahım arttı. Fiyatların Ocak ayında gördükleri zirveye kıyasla epey gerilemiş olması da bu konudaki motivasyonumu artırıyor. Ancak bir problemim var. Hangi kripto paraya yatırım yapmam gerektiğine karar veremiyorum.

Blok zinciri teknolojisinin kalıcı olacağını artık en muhafazakar uzmanlar bile kabul etmiş durumda. Kripto dünyası hızla büyüyüp gelişiyor. Kripto işiyle ilgilenmeye başladığımda 1500 kadar kripto para birimi vardı. Bu dünyayı tanımak isteyen bir yatırımcı adayı olarak bu sayıyı yüksek buluyordum.

https://coinranking.com/ a göre bugün itibarıyla dünyada 3543 kripto para var. Bunlardan hangisine yatırım yapacağız? Herhangi bir kripto paraya özel olarak verilen bilgiler benim için yeterli olmuyor. Karşılaştırma yapmak, büyük resmi görmek istiyorum. Kripto paraların tamamını analiz etmek bir insanın entelektüel kapasitesini aşan bir durum. Böyle olunca en uygun çözüm en değerli ve yaygın kripto paralardan başlamak gibi görünüyor. Bu yazı dizisine bu nedenle Bitcoin ile başlamaya karar verdim. Kripto paraları tekil olarak incelemenin blok zinciri teknolojisini tanımak anlamında da faydalı olacağını düşünüyorum.

Bugün itibarıyla Bitcoin'in toplam piyasa değeri 126,83 milyar dolar. https://coinranking.com/ verilerine göre kripto dünyasının toplam değeri 282,44 milyar dolar. Bitcoin kripto dünyasının %44,9'unu oluşturuyor.

Bitcoin'in Güçlü Yanları

10 yıllık bir geçmişe sahip olan Bitcoin'in toplam adedi 21 milyon'la sınırlanmış durumda. Halen dolaşımda 17,08 milyon adet Bitcoin bulunuyor. Zaman ilerledikçe Bitcoin çıkarmak zorlaşıyor. Son Bitcoin'in 2136 yılında çıkarılacağı tahmin ediliyor. Bitcoin arzının sınırlı olması ve zaman ilerledikçe Bitcoin çıkarmanın güçleşmesi fiyat üzerinde yukarı yönlü etki yaratıyor.

Bu dünyayı tanımaya başladığımda şöyle bir hesap yaptığımı hatırlıyorum: Dünyada 7,6 milyar insana karşılık sadece 21 milyon bitcoin var. Bu bitcoinlerden biri benim olmalı!

Bitcoin diğer kripto paraların geleneksel paralara çevrilmesinde aracılık rolü üstleniyor. Dünyada 3420 adet Bitcoin ATM'si bulunuyor. Bu sayı hızla artıyor. Bu ATM'lerin coğrafi dağılımına bu link üzerinden ulaşabilirsiniz.

Metcalfe yasasına göre bir ağın değeri onu kullanan kişilerin sayısının karesi ile orantılı olarak artıyor. Bu bağlamda en çok tanınan kripto para olan Bitcoin'in ilk olmanın avantajıyla bu denli değer kazanmış olmasına şaşırmamak gerekiyor. Kripto paralara adaptasyon arttıkça, Metcalfe yasası uyarınca fiyatların yukarıya gitmeye devam edeceğini tahmin ediyorum.

https://bitinfocharts.com/ istatistiklerine göre son 24 saatte 222.997 Bitcoin işlemi yapılmış. Ortalama işlem tutarı 4,47 BTC, medyan işlem tutarı ise 0,05 BTC. İstatistikler diğer başlıca kripto paralarla kıyaslamalı olarak incelendiğinde ortalama BTC işlem tutarlarının yüksek olduğunu görüyoruz. Bitcoin'i Reddit'ten takip eden 894.705 kişi var. Bitcoin Github yıldızı sayısı 33.326. Yaygınlığı gösteren tüm istatistiklerde Bitcoin'in önde olduğunu görüyoruz.

Bitcoin'in yaygınlığından kaynaklanan büyük bir likiditesi var. Diğer kripto paralara kıyasla daha derin bir piyasaya sahip olduğu için büyük yatırımcıların Bitcoin'e yatırım yapması daha kolay oluyor.

Bitcoin bir ödeme aracı olarak da diğer kripto paralara kıyasla daha yaygın bir biçimde kullanılıyor.

Ayrıca, Bitcoin diğer kripto paralara kıyasla daha az oynaklık gösteriyor.

Bitcoin'in Zayıf Yanları

Bitcoin'in en önemli zayıf yönlerinden biri elektrik tüketimi. Proof of work prensibine göre çalışan Bitcoin'de işlemlerin onaylanması modern kriptolara kıyasla hem daha uzun bir zaman alıyor ve daha yüksek işlemci gücü tüketiyor.

Bitcoin'in diğer bir zayıf yanı işlem ücretlerinin Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin gibi kripto paralara göre yüksek olması. İşlem ücretlerinin gelişimi https://bitinfocharts.com/'den aldığım aşağıdaki grafikte yer alıyor.

Etherium, Neo gibi sonradan üretilen kripto paralar için geçerli olan üzerinde dağıtık uygulama geliştirme ve akıllı sözleşmeler üretme gibi fonksiyonlar Bitcoin için söz konusu değil.

Sonuç

İlk olmanın getirdiği avantajların yanı sıra dezavantajlar da var. Bitcoin'den sonra ortaya çıkan kripto paralar Bitcoin'in açtığı yolda onun yaşadığı tecrübelerden dersler çıkararak daha gelişmiş altyapılar üzerine kuruldular. Elbette Bitcoin üzerinde de geliştirmeler yapılıyor, ancak bu geliştirmelerin işlem süreleri ve işlem maliyetleri üzerinde arzu edilen iyileşmeyi henüz sağlayamadığı görülüyor.

Tek bir kripto paraya yatırım yapma hakkım olsa tercihimi Bitcoin'den yana kullanmazdım, ancak bir kripto para portföyü oluşturulmak istenirse içinde Bitcoin bulundurmak uygun olabilir.

Yatırım uzmanı ya da kripto para uzmanı değilim. Bu yazıda paylaştığım bilgilerin kripto dünyasını merak eden potansiyel bir yatırımcının düşünceleri olarak okunması uygun olacaktır.

Okuduğunuz için teşekkür ederim.

Yes, that's clear, but apparently there are always people who expect that the Alts run better than the BTC and I find that in the current scenario, an exaggerated attitude. Give time to the Alts, the people have first covered up with BTC now look a bit around and then come the Alts.

I am on the altcoins side

I think BTC will remain #1 largely because it is well known, has a vast network, and because people trust it. It's the least volatile of all cryptos. People want a good store of value over time. Bitcoin will become less and less volatile as more people use it. It will become a medium of exchange as time passes on.

btc is largely controlled and manipulated by whales , one will never know when it gonna pump or dump ... hope regulations will bring some restraints in btc price

@muratkbesiroglu hello 👋 sir,,,,, I think today's best coin investment, ripple, ethereum, steem, Litecoin, ADA, I think this top 5 should be invested in coin, this 5 coin 2018 last, 2019 first, with a good profit in us But everything will depend on cryptocurrency king 👑 bitcoin above, because bitcoin is $ 25000 cross if it is stable then altcoin will break, what do you think is the top 3 coin in this 5 coin ?? Please comment and please

Upvote comments follow,

cant say about alt coins as they r completely dependent on btc value , as more exchanges r pairing alt wid usdt ( stable coin ) that gave them their own identity to an extent

Sizin de dediğiniz gibi hocam pazar hacminin büyük bir bölümünü bitcoin oluşturuyor. Bu kadar manüplasyonlara açık bir piyasa da belki de bitcoinin bu seviyelere gelmesi bir mucizeydi. Uzmanlar gelecekte bitcoinin değerinin çok yüksek olacağını söylüyorlar ve ben de bu düşünceye katılmıyor değilim, eğer fırsatınız ve paranız varsa uzun vadeli düşünün ve 1 bitcoin sahibi olurn derim.

Ne yazık ki piyasada bir yığın kripto para var ve birçoğu gerçekten gereksiz. Zaten birçok uzman da gelecekte kripto paraların büyük bir kısmının olmayacağı yönünde düşünüyorlar, açıkçası ben de bu düşünceye katılmıyor değilim.

Yatırım yapacak kripto para seçimi gerçekten zor iş, çünkü gelecekte neler olacağını gerçekten zor. Bana göre seçim yaparken öncelik en bilindik ve vaatlerini yerine getirebilecek olan koinlerden seçim yapmak ama koin kadar arkasındaki ekip de önemli, acaba bu ekip ne kadar çalışıyor ya da projelerini geliştirmek için nelere başvuruyorlar bu tarz şeyleri de takip etmek lazım.

Araştırdıkça zihnimde genel bir resim oluşmaya başladı. Sadece para işlevi gören kripto paralar artık anlamsız gelmeye başladı. Hikayesi olan, belirli bir alanda güçlü olan kripto paralar kalıcı olacaktır muhtemelen. Sansasyonel olacağı için ifade etmek istemedim ama ilk internet tarayıcı Netscape, ilk ünlenen arama motorları Alta Vista, Yahoo kalıcı olamadılar, Bitcoin hep geçerli olur ama değeri epey gerilerde kalabilir.

I can invest to get you to help me a little bit?

O hiç belli olmaz hocam, dediğim gibi manüplasyonlara açık bir piyasada BTC'yi parası olan yönetebilir. Aslında hikayesi olan birçok koin var marketin cazibesine fazla kapılmadan doğru olduğunu düşündüğünüze yatırım yapmalı.

My suggestion is to spread the wealth across multiple coins. Much love to coinbase.com as a great entry point into crypto investing. I suggest you start there (I did). Today only Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin are traded on coinbase. There has been recent news regarding adding additional cryptocurrency to coinbase.com which I hope happens sooner rather than later!

Another great way to invest is by educating yourself on the well over 3k options that exist. My personal way to begin that journey is getting yourself signed up at https://altpocket.io where you can track your investment portfolio as well as interact with a wonderful community with active dialog and feedback regarding the overall cyrpto market.

Best of luck and happy crypto investing to you!

Thank you for the beneficial insights

hello bro
I am new to your blog . First of all i must say that your content is awesome and this article about investing in which crypto curreency is also good and well written
According to me the best coin to invest in is ETHEREUM because after bitcoin there will be ETH time and its price is no so much high at the present
No doubt that bitcoin is a better investment for now but for the future Eth has more bright future
@muratkbesiroglu

Before buying any coin,study of ups and downs of the market is must. If we have the knowledge about all this we can easily find out which coins to buy.

I am not good at technical analysis. I prefer long term investment.

Upper comment may be one way. But after selecting a broker you should ask him about his earnings. Bcoz some brokers are not having much benefits.

Lets say about real estate agent or brokers. From morning to evening they try to sell pieces of land and they tell you good things about that particular land. But most of them don't even have a single piece of land of their own.

It's pure gamble if you don't understand technical analysis. even if you trade for long term, it may happen that you stuck in same coin for two or three years.

So I'm not saying you to be specialist in technical analysis. But you should choose your broker wisely.

I recommend you to keep your strategy with long term investment, dont change your mind and play on exchanged because its not for everybody, even some players fail and doing trades daily its like a gamble when you have no clue.

I am also a long term investor, what i recommend you is to find a broker around you who does trades all day long, you can give him 10%-20% from your money and he will tell you and advice you what to do and how or when to sell or buy for a small commision. This is the only way if you want to trade daily or weekly.

But i prefer long term investment.

In fact I don't beleive in technical analysis. That's why I don't try to learn. I have a long term perspective like you.

I agree that a Crypto portfolio should include Bitcoin.

There are a lot of coins that are going to go the way of the dinosaur. I do not think Bitcoin will be one of them.

Many Bitcoins are lost forever, since people from the early days lost their private keys, so the real number of available Bitcoins is significantly less than 21 million.

Most importantly, Bitcoin's brand is unbeatable, being the father of all the other coins.

I hate that Bitcoin wastes so much electricity. That is the main problem with it. Also, Bitcoin is quite centralized in China, so there is always a risk that the Government there could order the miners to do a 51 percent attack on the coin.

Overall though, I think Bitcoin is a must-have coin for a Crypto investor. :)

I think so :)

I personally think one should invest 1/4 th in bitcoin
Rest you can invest in altcoins- ethereum is promising unless EOS takes over.
My choice would be 0x, Nano, zilliqa, ethos and stellar.
Do your own research though
Happy investing

A bitcoin is fundamentally an encryption key, kept in the record of a broker. Responsibility for encryption key qualifies you for exchange it for merchandise, administrations, or different sorts of digital money, with names like Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin.

This is one of the best blogs for those who are new in the crypto market and they don't know about the best trading exchange option.
I always used to prefer centralized exchanges because centralized exchanges are safe for trading and we can feel free to trade here without any fear like Binance, Poloniex. But there is little bit fear about decentralized exchanges about fund recovery after hacking and all.
Because centralized exchanges give us more security to our funds for any hacking and all...
Thanks, sir for this article newbies will learn a lot about the difference between exchanges...

@muratkbesiroglu Since we know the highlights to search for in the best Bitcoin trades, how about we proceed onward to choose our specific top picks. Coinbase.

Great article. I'd say do your research on various cryptos before getting involved. I'm not a fan of ripple because I've been hearing that it is centralized which goes against the the main purpose of cryptocurrency.

Cryptos that focus on being used as a mode of decentralized exchange could be a good investment but that's just my opinion.

Investing in coins with legitimate utility could also be a good decision.

I believe the institution investors will focus on bitcoin and ethereum when they start to enter into crypto space. For retail investors there are opportunities in these, and also in altcoins if selected right. See my analysis here: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@rfka19a/3jvpam
Read with a google translator if you don't read Chinese.

There is really no ideal coins to buy at this point in the market, anything before the ETF agreement will be under a big questions mark. However, BTC retains a lot of the market's volume and is dominating the market a lot more than other Alt coins right now. I would suggest in your case to perhaps split your invested amount into 50%(to HOLD btc) and 50%(to be used on either trades with alt coins or just buying and holding altcoins). If that is what your objective is, try to be smart and don't invest all your money into 1 coin or 1 buy always spread it out. Don't forget to use the stop-loss if you are trading as well to counter this market's volatility and crazy whales who love to cause these rollercoaster rides.

BUY LITECOIN!!!!!!!! IT SHINY!!!!!!!

@muratkbesiroglu
All the coins are available at a super discount price.
Buy any and you will be in profit in future for sure.
As far as I think.

@muratkbesiroglu I think the best crypto for investment is (Zcash) and (Dash) because of their chances are the high pumping in end of 2018.

@muratkbesiroglu Sir, if u are long term investor then Bitcoin, Ethereum,Litecoin would be good, & if u are mid term/short term investor then Ehereuim Classic, Cardano,Steem, Stratis,XRP, Digibyte,Tron,Binance coin.
It is advisable to visit Marketcap & explore top 10-15 coins ,visit their websites, explore their projects.
Please note that this is personal advise , it is highly recommended not to go by anyone's adivise without ur own study.Thanks

Thank you for your comment 👍

Crpto currency marketing price up down you can tell any reason please!!

Invest Bytecoin the most growing digital currency in the cryptocurrency market..

As per my opinion & checking in the old graphs, BTC have a lot of growth in the coming years.

@muratkbesiroglu my personal view is
1-bitcoin
2-ethereum
3-ripple
4-steem
All are worst coin leave them

All steemers give your point of view

it's all about taking advantage of opportunities at the right moment when they arise!

@muratkbesiroglu I think bitcoin is the most undervalued currency till now. Wondering why? Many experts and speculators have predicted that bitcoin price will definitely moon. But will take time for sure. We need to keep patience.

Everything which goes down, has to come up and vice versa. This cycle is not having any finish line and we should play smart if we want to earn money.

If you buy bitcoin now and sell it after 2 years, you might get 10x or even more than that. No other asset or commodity will give this much returns. But you should always consider risk in this field.

Right now is the best time to invest dear

In a situation like this, I visit this https://athcoinindex.com/ ... see which coins are down now as per the ATH and go for those coins. If you want my opinion, you should invest in sphtx or BOScoin, choice remains yours.

But at the end of it, it was still up to you if you willing to invest on bitcoin.

high risk investment cryptocurrency

@muratkbesiroglu, invest more in STEEM, it is a better option. We have both definitely taken a close look at Steemit and have seen and noticed all of the things that it can do. We should now have confidence that the Steemit platform is here to stay and that hopefully the value of Steem will also increase.

I have already invested in Steem. I would like to diversify my portfolio.

Way to go, if I had more STEEM I would definitely go for Neo-coin. Yeah, there could be other coins but that's my take.

good article, I would say long term bitcoin but bigger gains could be had with alt coins short term.

Invest in sia coin and cryptocurrency exchanges coins as they can give more profits.

It's very difficult to choose. But it's important to remember that in your portfolio should be bitcoin. At least 30%

@muratkbesiroglu
Informative post brother
I always visit your post and waiting for your next post
Today i also write top cryptocurrency content on steemit.

@muratkbesiroglu hey dear I have a question is it is the better way to break bitcoin in smaller coins to get more profit?

Not necessarily.

Smaller coins rally more, but they also fall more in a bear market. Depends on your risk appetite

Alright, this is what I started doing after taking some losses.

Total (1 BTC for example)( % may vary up to you)
-50% HODL BTC (Exodus Account for example)
-50% Use for trades on Altcoins.

Tip: Split in 5 shares of 0.1 and use that amount in each trade,
never enter all in one signal.
-Use 0.1 per signal
-And from the 0.1 u can work the laddered orders.

For example: 0.05 for 1 order, 0.05 for the 2nd order and so on.
(Due to trying to catch a direction the market is headed in)

Put it all in Steem!

Bitcoin is definitely the way to go. It can still have huge gains and does not have as many obvious weaknesses as the other top coins. I mean even Ethereum has flaws that can bring it down if it doesn't improve. Bitcoin seems boring but is way ahead of the game. I can't see it losing its spot any time soon.

Well I might be wrong but as Antonopoulos says Blockchain would be useful in very few industries, but today it has become a buzzword for raising VC and public funds. Certainly in 2-3 years majority of the current garbage projects would fade out. I am new to Steem world but a crypto investor since 2014 and for next 2-3 years my portfolio will certainly look like:
30% BTC ( The daddy of all)
10% ETH, 5% EOS and 5% Cardano (Platform coins)
15% exchange coins ( BNB, Blockchain.io and 0x)
10% Cross blockchains Interoperability ( Fusion, Wanchain)
5% AI related coins ( AGI or Deep Onion)
10% Crypto banks ( Crypterium and host of other coins)
5% Medical industry ( Docademic has good hype but there are other good coins in market)
5% Outsourcing/ expert connectivity platforms ( Couple of coins in this space but I would look at Experty)

Would love to know tour thoughts on this.
