How to Buy and Sell Crypto on Investfora: A Practical Guide

What crypto is, and why people hold it

Cryptocurrency is digital money. It exists only on computer networks, not in your pocket or bank account. The most famous is Bitcoin, but there are now thousands of different cryptocurrencies, each with its own rules and community behind it.

People hold crypto for different reasons. Some see it as a store of value, like gold. Some trade it because prices move fast and offer chances to profit—or to lose money. Some use it to send money across borders without a bank in the middle.

The crucial thing to understand upfront is that crypto prices are volatile. They can rise sharply or fall sharply, sometimes within hours. The value of your crypto can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you put in.

Investfora lets you own actual crypto coins. You are not betting on the price or holding a derivative. When you buy Bitcoin on Investfora, you own Bitcoin. When you sell it, you get euros back. That simplicity is one reason to use the platform.

The fifty coins available on Investfora

Investfora offers fifty cryptocurrencies to buy and sell. The list includes the largest and most established coins, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as smaller coins with different purposes and communities. Each coin is shown at a live price, updated in real time.

You do not have to buy a whole coin. You can invest from one euro upwards and own a fraction. This matters because some coins trade at high prices per unit.

The fifty coins cover different categories. Some are designed to store value. Some run software platforms. Some are built for specific uses, like speed or privacy. Before you buy any coin, it is worth spending ten minutes understanding what it does and why its community believes in it.

The list of fifty coins is set by Investfora. It may change over time. You can see exactly which coins are available in your account dashboard at any moment.

How to buy crypto: the step-by-step process

Step one is to transfer euros into your Investfora account. You do this by bank transfer to a reference shown in your dashboard. The euros arrive as Investfora cash, sitting in your account balance, ready to deploy. Nothing is invested unless you tell it to be.

Step two is to go to the crypto section of your dashboard and choose which coin you want to buy. The screen shows you the current live price in euros. You decide how much euros you want to spend—from one euro upwards—and confirm the purchase.

Step three is that your crypto appears on your holdings screen. You can see exactly what you own, the price you paid, and the current live price. If the price has moved since you bought, the gain or loss updates in real time.

If you want to sell your crypto and turn it back into euros, you simply click sell on that coin's screen, confirm the amount, and the transaction happens in seconds. The euros go back into your Investfora cash balance.

Five things to think about before you invest

First, ask yourself why you are buying this coin. Are you holding it long-term because you believe in the technology? Are you trading it because you think the price will move? Are you diversifying a portfolio?

Second, think about how much you can afford to lose. Crypto is volatile. A coin you buy today could fall sharply in the next week. Only put money in that you can afford to lose entirely without it affecting your life.

Third, learn the difference between price and value. Price is what the market is willing to pay right now. Value is what the coin is fundamentally worth. These often diverge. Price can swing on news, sentiment, or random events.

Fourth, understand that crypto markets operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There is no opening bell or closing bell. Prices move at night, on weekends, on public holidays. If you own crypto, you own something that is always trading somewhere.

Fifth, think about security. When you hold crypto on Investfora, you do not have to manage private keys or worry about losing a password and losing your coins forever. Investfora holds the crypto for you. But you do need to keep your Investfora login secure.

How crypto fits with your other investments

One of Investfora's strengths is that crypto sits alongside other asset classes. In your dashboard, you can hold fixed-term deposits, business lending, crypto, and trading accounts, all in one place. Each is shown separately. You decide how much of your money goes into each.

This matters because it lets you diversify. You might put some money into stable fixed-term deposits for predictable returns. You might lend to businesses and earn interest on a medium-term basis. You might hold some crypto for long-term appreciation potential.

But diversification does not mean throwing money at everything. It means being intentional about where your money goes and why. Crypto should probably be a part of your portfolio, not the whole thing—especially if you are new to investing or have limited capital.

The risks you need to accept

Crypto is not regulated the way traditional financial assets are. There is no central authority issuing it or backing it. This is by design—it is the point of crypto for many people. But it also means there is no official insurance scheme.

Prices are driven by sentiment and network effects as much as by fundamentals. A single tweet from a famous person can move a market. Regulatory news from a major country can shift prices overnight. Technical problems at a major exchange can cause panic.

The value of investments can go down as well as up. You may get back less than you put in. This applies to crypto more dramatically than to most other asset classes.

Finally, understand that the crypto space includes outright scams and worthless coins. Not every coin on the market is legitimate or has real use.
