Crypto Investing in Australia: A Sensible Guide for Long-Term Investors

Bitcoin and crypto have moved from the fringe of investing into mainstream portfolios, but that doesn’t mean every investor should rush in. Australian investors face the same questions as investors elsewhere, plus some local ones involving tax, superannuation, custody, and regulation.

Digital Asset Investing in Australia

Sensible investing in digital assets, backed by decades of investment experience.

Crypto doesn’t need to be complicated. We simplify the complex for you.

Bitcoin and digital assets now have a place in a diversified portfolio; you may have heard this from major banks, Wall Street and others. Knowing what to buy, how much to invest and what to avoid matters considerably more than chasing the latest coin.

BostonTrading takes a long-term approach to crypto investing. We look at the asset, the people behind it, how it creates value, the risks involved and how it fits into a diversified portfolio. If you are thinking about crypto, talk to a real person before you invest.

Experience matters when markets get difficult

Anyone can look clever during a bull market. Our team came to crypto after years in traditional investment markets. Many of us had 10, 20 or 30 years of investment experience before entering crypto.

Experience matters: crypto markets can fall 30%, 50% or more. We’ve lived through stock market crashes and crypto collapses before. Our approach is therefore less about predicting the next exciting coin and more about managing risk, diversification and protecting capital.

Bitcoin, crypto and your portfolio

We don’t believe owning twenty cryptocurrencies automatically makes a portfolio diversified. We start with simpler questions:

What are you buying? Why does it have value? What could go wrong? How much should you own?

Bitcoin is also different from most other digital assets, so we consider it separately rather than putting everything carrying the label “crypto” into the same basket.

Australian investors and SMSFs

Australians may also have questions about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency within an SMSF, custody, taxation and how digital assets fit alongside their existing investments. You will not get great answers from a 23-year-old bloke on YouTube who discovered crypto last Tuesday. Educate yourself. Ask questions. Understand the risks before investing your money.

Speak to someone who understands investing AND crypto

You don’t need to become a blockchain expert before investing. But you should understand what you’re getting into. 

BostonTrading offers education, research and access to people who have spent years studying both traditional investments and digital assets. Before spending a dollar, invest an hour reading, learning and asking questions.

More Important information

We don’t just look at charts all day long. We live it, breathe it and explain it to others. We run seminars and webinars, and we literally wrote the book on this stuff. Before coming to crypto, most of our team had 10 years in stock markets. Some of us had 20 or 30 years in stocks before we got into crypto (Steve had 40!).

We suggest

1) you are more able to trust those who have lived through a lot of market crashes.

2) Ignore any people with 5 years of experience in crypto or less.

3) Educate yourself so you can easily tell who is telling the truth and who is trying to bamboozle you.

4) Get the books and video course that we offer – no risk, all free or with a money-back guarantee. Invest an hour reading or asking questions before you spend a dollar.

5) Do online searches for whomever you are listening to or talking to. Many “crypto gurus” were selling laundry powder last year and selling crypto today. Find someone who has been in crypto for a minimum of 5 years and in stocks for a minimum of 10 years. When you live through a few crashes, you get smarter.
