Thu 10 09 2020

You might be hearing a lot about cryptocurrency and could be asking yourself if it is worth the investment. In fact, there is no definitive answer to this question, as crypto could be a good investment for one person, and a bad decision for another. In this article, we will explore all the aspects that could help you make up your mind on whether cryptocurrency is worth investing in or not.

When talking about market fluctuations, it is important to note that the long term fluctuations are what an investor is affected by, as the daily fluctuation rate is 1 or 2% (upward or downward).

 However, the fluctuation of the crypto market is similar to the standard market but could be less predictable and might fluctuate in very high or very low frequencies in a period of time. These two examples will make it easier to understand.

Ether’s price in June 2019 was $335.10, and in mid-July, this number fell 40% to reach $205.86 in three weeks only.

Bitcoin was worth $3451.55 in early February 2019 and in 150 days reached $12, 647, 99. This means that the worth of Bitcoin became 3.6 times greater.

In his book “Confessions of a Crypto Millionaire” Dan Conway says: “crypto isn’t an investment, it’s a belief system”. This foundation is what can help you develop a tolerance level on the lows and highs of this market. In the same book, he describes his journey as a crypto investor saying that some days he was down $500,000 and others he could be up to $1M.
