My experience using crypto as a store of value
Two years ago, I decided to stop seeing cryptos only as an opportunity for quick trading and started investing for the long term. I bought Bitcoin and Ethereum when they were falling, with the idea of holding them for at least 4 or 5 years, without checking the price every day.
I approached it as a personal reserve fund, something that could preserve value against inflation. Over time, I saw how while my local currency lost value, my crypto portfolio appreciated. It doesn't always go up, but in the long run, the average has been positive.
Additionally, I use staking and flexible savings in stablecoins to generate interest while my main assets are kept safe.
For me, the most important thing was to change the focus: from wanting to get rich in a week to thinking about preserving value and buying time.
Tip: make sure to get well-informed, invest only what you are willing to leave untouched, and don't get swayed by market noise.
