Is Investing in Cryptocurrency a Good Idea?





Cryptocurrency has swept the nation, and thousands of Americans have decided to toss their money into the ring. While many have made thousands of dollars off of these investments, others have lost much, much, more. So what is the viability of cryptocurrency investing?

Investing in Cryptocurrency Is Similar to Gambling

Although various cryptocurrency companies have discussed case uses of their “products,” few (if any) have shown how cryptocurrency can be utilized in real life circumstances. Thus far, the hype over cryptocurrency is not backed by actual businesses or individual use cases, therefore, investing in cryptocurrency can be compared to gambling. Although people can (and have) made it big through cryptocurrency investment, it seems that high rollers did so on luck rather than actual fact-based positive business momentum. This can be seen in the chaotic movements of the cryptocurrency market. One day, the market jumps up 10% across the board, the next day, the market is down 30%. These kinds of jumps prove that many investors have no clue what to expect when it comes to cryptocurrency investments.

It’s an Extremely High-Risk Investment

There are high-risk stock investments, but cryptocurrency investing takes the risk to a whole other level. Traditional investing can be risky because new businesses may or may not make it into national or international markets; however, their business plans and goals are transparent to all potential investors. However, cryptocurrency companies are not held to the same standard of transparency, partly because numerous countries have not had a chance to talk about the legality of cryptocurrency trading. Therefore, investing in cryptocurrency is a lot like the Wild West.
