Why invest in cryptos?

Cryptocurrencies have oft been perceived as being mere instruments of speculation. And rightly so, as without several tangible real-world use cases, there has been a pertinent lack of strong fundamentals driving this emerging market. It could also be argued that the early crypto 2018 rally was owing to the hype surrounding the potential use cases for digital assets.



Come 2019, and cryptocurrencies as a form of technology have to prove themselves. Especially how they could potentially help change the approach towards life, industry and commerce for the greater good. Despite a recent surge, the market is still at a fairly low and espouses the potential to garner hundreds of billion dollars in investment. This presents a significant opportunity for investors who want to get into the market.

So, why invest?

Weathering the storm: It is pragmatic to invest in crypto assets during a bear market, and cryptocurrencies have established their uncanny ability to garner significantly higher returns vis-a-vis conventional investments, time and again. Given its volatility, it makes sense for investors to espouse investment strategies for both short term and longer term holdings.

Decentralized insurance: Cryptocurrencies, owing to their largely decentralized nature, act as an insurance against fiat currency devaluation and national economic failure. For instance, the recent devaluation of Turkey’s sovereign currency, led to many in the country adopting crypto assets.

Tokenized economy: The crux of a cryptocurrency based ecosystem is decentralization and the more equitable distribution of wealth. For blockchain experts, on paper, it creates a level playing field where everyone can get some form of remuneration for the resources they contribute and the value that they create.

Significant growth potential: Various countries, around the world have brought in crypto regulations to bring in transparency and trust to an emerging industry. Cryptocurrencies can foster innovation and can act as instruments that solve some extremely pertinent real-world problems. They have the potential to create an ecosystem of growth for many upcoming technologies of the future.

Epitomizes freedom: Cryptocurrency evangelists will tell you that the decentralized and trustless nature of crypto assets bears the insignia of individual freedom. Its a paradigm shift in the very approach towards how a system works. The idea that an individual has the ability to truly affect the outcome of a system is profoundly powerful. It can lead to a new era of possibilities

The debate has been going on for long about cryptocurrency being legalized by countries. Cryptocurrency evangelists have been of the opinion that cryptocurrency can solve numerous problems in the traditional financial industry. According to them, cryptocurrency can lead to an efficient payment system, especially for cross border transfers. Cryptocurrency can enable quick transfers saving the time, eliminate middlemen lowering the costs, and help maintain a trusted database of transactions on the blockchain network. On the other hand, several financial regulators of different countries are of the opinion that cryptocurrency can lead to financial instability as the digital coins are volatile in nature. Moreover, due to the decentralized nature of the transactions, it will be difficult to keep a check on all the financial activities to prevent any terrorism funding activity. Cryptocurrency, not involving a centralized governing authority and regulatory body, make transactions
