What is a Crypto Strategy and how does it work?

Crypto Strategies are collections of crypto assets chosen and led by a Strategist. They share the Strategy with other users, allowing them to perform the same changes as the Strategist. 

The Strategists have their own stakes in the strategy, so they’re in the same yacht as you are, making sure you never sink. 

• Copiers

Copiers copy a strategy of their choosing with their assets. Don’t worry; a copier’s assets are still their own. They can withdraw them at any time, regardless of the structure or performance of the Strategy. 

Whenever a Strategist changes the structure of the strategy, the copier automatically makes the same trades. 

The Strategist does all the thinking, our trading algorithm does everything else. 

• Why copy a Strategy? 

Many users simply don’t have time to manage their crypto investments, as the market fluctuates too rapidly. Successful Strategists take that time. They can lead others to gains or save them from losses. 

In this, diversification is key. Like mentioned, a single asset can fluctuate wildly. Sometimes, it’s better to have a diverse portfolio, so if a single asset drops, the rest of your investment won’t be as affected. 

• How does it work?

When you copy a Crypto Strategy your investment gets diversified across all cryptocurrencies that are in strategy structure.

Let’s take a look at an example to make it easier for you:

Let’s say you invest 100 units (100 BTC or 100 EUR or 100 USD, etc.) - you add 100 units to copy a Crypto Strategy with a structure (index weights) of:
- Bitcoin (BTC) 30%,
- Ether (ETH) 27%,
- EOS (EOS) 19%,
- Litecoin (LTC) 15%,
- Monero (XMR) 9%

With just one click, your investment (100 units) is diversified into the exact same percentages of cryptocurrencies that are in the strategy structure (30 units go to BTC, 27 to ETH, 19 to EOS, etc.).

• Incentive 

Strategists have their own assets in the structure. Together with that, copiers pay fees which are usually based on the Crypto Strategy’s performance. This means that the Strategist has a monetary incentive to perform. Not to mention, it feels good to spread your knowledge and help other people out with their investments. 

• DEMO Strategies 

If you’d like to try out your skills with a Crypto Strategy but are afraid of upfront costs, you can play around with a demo Strategy. You can set your structure and the monetary weight of the assets and have it follow the market as if it were real.

• Am I (Crypto Strategy copier) the owner of my investments/assets at all times?

Yes. The Crypto Strategy Strategist does not have access to your assets. The only owner of the assets (underlying assets included in the Crypto Strategy structure) is you. All users assets are safely put into ICONOMI’s storage, where ICONOMI holds users assets on their name and on their behalf. The assets are secured and stored in ICONOMI’s proprietary system of hot and cold wallets. It includes a multi-level / multi-signature structure and specially designed processes that we follow.
