The reason for this is as I mention in my previous post which I\u0026rsquo;ll link down below. Crypto has been my \u0026ldquo;\u003cstrong\u003egolden goose\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026rdquo; out of all my investments crypto has brought me the \u003cstrong\u003ehighest returns on investment\u003c/strong\u003e and as such I will stick with it for a while. To top this off the crypto market is still growing. Then there are the \u003cstrong\u003emetaverse crypto tokens\u003c/strong\u003e that are growing as well. So I believe crypto will remain my golden goose unless something else brings in more.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI\u0026rsquo;d like to make myself clear, every investment listed above aside from Mutual Funds will be held long-term for ATLEAST 6 months and ATMOST 30 years.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMutual funds act as lifesaver jackets for me, as long as nothing \u0026ldquo;life-threatening\u0026rdquo; comes my way, then I am likely to hold them for the same period 6 months to 30 years.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything above is subject to change depending on my research and findings. Always research your preferred investments.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI\u0026rsquo;ll link all the posts I believe can help you make your own investment strategy down below.
