Cryptocurrency investing is becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia. From Bitcoin to altcoins, many Indonesians see crypto as an alternative to grow their wealth. However, the crypto market is highly volatile, making the right strategies essential for safe and profitable investing.
By learning at DavaTrust EDU, Indonesian investors can understand core crypto strategies before entering the market. Here are five strategies suitable for Indonesian investors:
1. HODL (Hold On for Dear Life)
What is HODL?
HODL means holding your assets long-term, regardless of price fluctuations.
Relevance in Indonesia:
Many Indonesian investors buy Bitcoin or Ethereum for the long term due to their growth potential. HODL is effective for those who want to participate in the global crypto market without frequent trading.

2. Diversification
Don’t put all your funds in one coin.
Diversification reduces risk and balances your portfolio.
Portfolio model for Indonesia:
-
Bitcoin: 40–50%
-
Ethereum: 20–30%
-
Popular altcoins in Indonesia: 10–20% (e.g., Cardano, Solana)
-
Stablecoins (USDT, BUSD): 10% for liquidity

3. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
What is DCA?
Buying crypto at regular intervals with a fixed amount, regardless of the market price.
Why DCA is relevant in Indonesia:

Reduces risk in volatile crypto markets
-
Ideal for beginners who want to invest gradually without worrying about market peaks

4. Staking & Passive Income
Staking: Lock PoS coins to support the blockchain and earn rewards.
Examples: Ethereum, Solana, Cardano
Relevance in Indonesia:
Many local investors use staking to generate passive income, especially with stablecoins or PoS coins, while waiting for price growth.

5. Trend Investing (Smart FOMO)
What is Smart FOMO?
Following real crypto trends, not hype, based on research and analysis.
