Crypto investor: A survival Guide

Author

Eric Le Goff

This books (around 100 Word pages expected) teaches about investing in crypto, using approach applied on stock markets, adapted to context of crypto. I achieved a decent consistent performance of 275% between August 2017 and October 2018 staying invested, with a peak at 500% in December.

- Survival skills: What you always should do and never should do. Why the biggest danger is not the risk itself but how you decide to live with it. 

- How to choose your platform, how to place orders, which orders, when, ...

- What product to choose: Cash, Options, CFD, ...

- Knowing your profile, trader, investor, what it means in term of timing, leverage, diversification. Why investing and HODL are very different.

- Detecting market manipulation and short term spikes vs fundamental moves

- Trading news and how to keep being invested even in a bear market

- Example of trades taken : why somes worked, why others did not. How to react. How facing the truth of your investment was a bad decision is hard but necessary.

- Making 14% per year on Bitcoin without any market risk: simple arbitration between 3 platforms (and why it makes more important these platforms are secured). Strategy I have been applying for 3 months (screenshots given).

- How the downside move of Bitcoin in Jan 2018 stopped at 6000: proof using technical analysis. Further examples on technical analysis strategies and associated gains.

- Looking at indicators and elements that will indicate the exit of the bear market.

- Also as being living in HK and being quite aware on what is going on in mainland through connections, how what is currently happening in China may help prices to recover

You should jump into the boat if you are passionate about investing. Cryptos offer a promising playground if you know how to deal with them ; otherwise they may become the tombstone of your savings. 

You should read this book because it is 30 percent about crypto specifics, and 70 pct about rules and investment technics you shall apply for any risky investment. 

You should consider this book as a time saver. Thousands of hours of work and trainings stand behind it.

I am not a crypto technician, you do not need to be either. I am an investor. While I am happy about the tech prospect, I would not have written this book if crypto were not a growing asset class.

About the author

Starting investing at 17y.o. on stock markets in 1998, right before the dot-com mania and just after the Asian crisis, Eric experienced the rise and fall of the lucky beginner that does not understand the change of rules happening when markets start to dive. Passion got installed forever: He decided to work in finance, though regretting missing the bubble of a lifetime. It turns out, bubbles are probably more frequent than in the past. So when he noticed the premises of a new bubble on crypto, he had thirst to put at work patiently learnt skills, sometimes the hard way. After hesitations, he started investing early 2017, strenghtened by 20 years of market practice for his own account, and analytical skills acquired through various work experiences - as a junior economist, a consultant in finance, and as a new product validator in an investment bank, in Paris and Hong Kong currently. This book shares his approach.

The experience turned positive for a reason: he erased the tragic errors that can ruin a good intuition, the one trade in excess that wipes out months of thorough investing.

About Book

Genre: Reference book
Language: English
Planned publishing date: 23.12.2018

This book is about investing into cryptos while acknowledging the need to be ambitious in its modesty. Markets as a whole are tricky, crypto is no exception. 20 years of investment in stock markets with ups and downs led to successful application of the principles I expose in this book.

This is a book for passionate people that like connecting the dots, make parallel between situations, those who acknowledge the virtue of crossing perspectives. 

Much will be said about investing in cryptos. All over the course of 2017, it has just been about money making. We all know the story of a friend of a friend who made millions. I found that mate a few months ago, in the person of a work colleague. Coming back to France for a visit at the company headquarters, one of them that I barely knew, asked me: Apparently you are into bitcoin and crypto

Me: yes, I find it as much interesting from a technical point of view as from a investment perspective. Despite I am not a coder at all nor a blockchain specialist, this field brings a lot of new concepts that I find exciting to comprehend. And the work I have done now will not be lost: blockchain is here to stay so it is a way to keep up with the pace of the world. Why do you ask, are you into it too ?

Him: No, I am not, but my brother is. He just bought a building in paris, most of the money coming from the coins he mined.

And then suddenly in your mind you see the building appear, the Haussman old fashion fancy construction with classic and classy appartments. The caretaker, the marvellous stairs paved by black and white marble squares. The interior, a fireplace behind each and every door, talking about black and white: why not a piano, and the vast tables at which to seat and eat foie gras, caviar, drinking fine wines. 

Blast from the past: this is what cost me all my gains during the 2000 Bubble.

And this is precisely the kind of image, the instant invasion of unlikely dream, that will make you make bad investment decisions if you are not prepared. And being not prepared can stem from two ways:

  • You are genuinely ignorant of the rules
  • You decide to ignore them

Crypto market is just like other markets: it has its specificities, its traps, and - just like human being has to breathe wherever he may be – its fundamental principles shared with other markets (stocks, commodities, real estate). This book is here to remind them.

What is a Book ICO?


Book ICO is the next generation way to kick-start books — authors publish their way.

ICO’s took 2017 by storm. Publica Book ICO’s are the next generation crowdfunder-plus-presale for ebooks where authors are free to publish their way.

Authors — You set your own prices for during and after your Book ICO. When your book is a recognized token on a blockchain you’re selling book tokens directly to your followers who support you and look forward to the promised release.

Presale funds can improve the quality of independently published books. Or publicize great books that might never find their true audience without it.Your book tokens work anywhere in the world on any iOS or Android device.

Readers — When you buy a book token, that’s your private access key to read the book in your Publica reader app available now for iOS and Android phones and tablets. Many Chromebooks too.

You can also send book tokens to other people, unlike any conventional ebook. So buy as many book tokens as you want!

You can also sell recognized book tokens on a secondary token exchange so depending on the total circulation of a book’s tokens, tokens in your wallet may grow in value if the book becomes collectable.

What are you waiting for? Oh, the countdown clock...

This allows authors to sell directly to their readers at an unprecedented and scalable level.
