Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin is hailed as a new generation of investment assets. However, for this emerging investment product, many people are rejected because of lack of professionalism. Can Bitcoin become a new choice for asset allocation for ordinary investors?

Who says Bitcoin will plunge? But if you fear that Bitcoin will plummet, the good news is: Kay shots macro report shows that Bitcoin does not seem to be associated with other risky assets (such as stocks). Despite the slowdown in the stock market in recent weeks, Bitcoin continues to rise. As mentioned before, bitcoin is usually compared with gold, but it is clear that bitcoin is not a "safe haven" asset. Although the price of gold dropped last week, cryptocurrency prices continued to climb. As Kay said in macro terms, Bitcoin is "its own world."

Of course it can become a choice for ordinary investors but we need to be more professoinal before that happens I believe. You can't have everybody calling every other project a scam because it isn't the coin they support. We should judge projects on their own merits, not based of what we have invested in. We have a lot of growing up to do, and it would bode well for us if we did it quickly.

Sure, why not? I think if anything 2017 has proved its more than capable. Even the US government has labeled cryptocurrencies "mainstream" as of today, so you can just imagine what that must say about the OG crypto -- Bitcoin -- for a lot of people.

since collapse of bitcoin is something imaginary in your head, any effect it has on anything including but not limited to traditional assets would also be imaginary and we are not dealing with imaginary stuff here. we deal with hard facts.


wrong. bitcoin is hailed as a new generation of money.

Bitcoin hasn't collapsed, and neither is it collapsing, so you should imply theoreticals by replacing "does" on your title by "with".

If Bitcoin collapses, then it brings down people who have known no other investments with it. People are investing in Bitcoin without knowledge of traditional markets after all, thanks to the low barrier of entry. They learn standard practices in investment that could also be applicable to stuff like stocks. Should Bitcoin go down, I would assume that they'll take their money to more traditional assets to apply their newfound knowledge. I would expect the traditional markets to get a slight boost after the fact, at least.

Collapse is a wrong choice of word. Check your facts. Are you even following the news lately?

I don't think it affects traditional investment. when bitcoin prices rise, traditional investment will be disrupted as new ways of investing in bitcoins get more popular and beat some traditional investments. but when bitcoin collapses, it doesn't have much effect on traditional investment.

I would say yes, since we dont have a central fiat value used in investing towards bitcoin then probably people regardless of their financial level can jump into this investment. Also if you cant afford to buy a whole bitcoin due to your financial capacity, you can only allocate a fraction of your money from time to time in investing. I wouldn't agree with looking as early into collapsing since bitcoin hasn't yet reached its full potential. There are still a lot of room for growth in this industry.

If Bitcoin was to collapse I think a good portion of the market cap of crypto (in the hundreds of billions) would have to shift into the market cap of more traditional stock, bonds, etc. This is due to people being scared that if they leave their money in risky investments, then they're going to lose money -- causing them to shift back to things that have traditionally worked in order to make themselves feel safer.

Probably a good lesson for the new generation that they can lose money at any time if they risk too much.

Bitcoin can indeed become an investment, but this investment is not acceptable to everyone, because the price fluctuation is too great and not everyone can accept these fluctuations.

 :) :)   of course you can also choose an ordinary investors but you really need a lot of profession of people before it happens .I believed you can not have everyone on a call ,every other project is also a scam because not a coins .is all supportive we should judge is also a project for this my merits are not based on what we have to invest in here ,we have that we did it quickly..

well here I agree, but the truth behind the fluctuations in the price is too great there is a guarantee that everyone who invested his assets in bitcoin will gain multiple profits. it's just that most people are not really really upset and there's still some doubt.

yes, Why not? if anyone is really interested in investing (not to run after Big Money promising scams) in a proper way, bitcoin is the best.

I think. It is very safe if the cowards and whales do not manipulate

First of all I don't see any collapse of bitcoin, it's just usual price correction.
Second, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies don't fall under usual types of investment and no matter if we have the feeling that is opposite, this kind of investment is still limited on a relatively small number of people.
Therefore I would say that cryptocurrencies investments and traditional investments are not strictly connected.

Bitcoin is a new investment in the digital economy, in which there are now many changes in the currency business in many countries around the world, in my country, the government is very concerned about the economy in Crypto These are monitored by the government and maybe a new investment for investors.

If you're talking about traditional investor, there are a lot of type but most of them are longterm investor and not traders so they tend to calculate every risk and obtain every information about a portfolio. In this case bitcoin is a very risky investment and the price is driven by demand only so i don't think you could compare bitcoin to traditional investment like stocks or property where these kind of investment got the value based on many aspects rather than demand alone.

Yes, bitcoin is now becoming an investment choice for ordinary investors. Now more and more people know the currency, they gave up the traditional currency market, the stock market in they saw the market brings the opportunity, but it also means a greater challenge. If the encryption market crashes, people will opt out of the traditional stock market.

I don't believe bitcoin is going to crash. This is a really versatile tool that allows you to distribute revenues fairly. This is not only suitable for stocks. But now all spheres of influence in the financial market are distributed among monopolies. Bitcoin broke into this sphere and destroyed the usual parity of forces. That's why all the big capital and governments are taking active steps to confront bitcoin.

Retail investors are the last to arrive. It's still nutters at the moment and professionals are only just starting to flirt with it. They're the ones who package it and sell it back to the regular investor.

I've never noticed any connection between these processes

I don't really understand what you are discussing. the collapse of bitcoin for traditional investment? this is certainly inversely proportional to your next question.
and for ordinary investors, everyone can make investments or crypto business. yes, as long as you have basic knowledge and want to find a lot of experience in order to get profit.

Bitcoin is a means of payment as well as a new investment asset that allows holders of traditional investment assets to switch to bitcoin if the price is higher. But if the bitcoin drops or collapses it I think it does not affect traditional investment.

I'll answer your title. The collapse of Bitcoin prices recently helps traditional investors to enter the market at seemingly low prices.

I think the word 'collapse' is exaggerated. Bitcoin is not collapsing, it's just having a correction of price in the market. The downfall from its ATH is somewhat expected to happen because of the hype it gathered during the months of November - December 2017. Honestly, it is more convenient to invest in BTC and other crypto currencies compared to traditional investments and savings account in banks.

If kriptonyte fall - hardly it will strongly affect other investment proposals. But many people do not come here not because there are not professionals, but because there is no opportunity to report on taxes. This is a ban for large investors to enter

I don't quite agree with you. Investing is a business. It requires certain knowledge and understanding of the laws of the market. Investors who are engaged in traditional investments are poorly versed in the peculiarities of the cryptocurrency market. I think it will stop them. This market attracts more and more speculators.

Many of those who are into bitcoin haven't even tried the traditional investment.  If bitcoin collapse, not sure if these people would go directly into investing  or transferring their money into traditional investment.  For one, the ease of investing in bitcoin compared to traditional investment is something that I think attracts these people to bitcoin.  The process of traditional investment might discourage them.

I heard some rumors that some stock investors are dumping their stocks and assets just to make investments in Bitcoin. But the sad part is they bought from the top when Bitcoin was still $15k to $19k. Now that their investments in Bitcoin was down more than 70%. They become so upset and stop from investing on any market.

" lack of professionalism " ? What about the technology or the investors are not professional? Do you have to acquire some

business degree for you to be able to trade commodities, before it is professional enough to trade? Bitcoin trading is open to

everyone, no matter what qualifications you have or how rich you are. This is why Bitcoin is so great, there is no barrier to

entry.  ;)

The investors need more secure investment, they had heard so many scammed and illegal things that being done using bitcoin, so they afraid one day the government can banned btc, if tgat hapoened not only they will have difficulty to cashed out but the price will fall down significantly, if the government issued an acceptance for bitcoin, many people will invest in btc and it can change people's mind to shift from traditional investment to bitcoin

Well for newcomers irs really difficult for them whrn investingbecause they always want profit immediayely. They dont even underatsnd the co cept behind bitcoin. They look at bitcoin as a money making machine that when you put money in, it will give money back immediately plus profits. The collapse has exposed the newcomers of the reality of bitcoin which scares them so much. Thats why they panic sell

Bitcoin is a profitable new investment market. Bitcoin market fluctuates sharply and suddenly makes many worry. But the value of Bitcoin has increased again and according to annual statistics it has increased over time. In order to become a Professional Investor in this field, you need to have the knowledge, experience and learning to continuously monitor and analyze the market before making the final decision. And willingness to take risks can occur more than other traditional markets.

I see the fact that the value of Bitcoin increases with time. In the downtrend of Bitcoin, investors are not worried because they know it is just a normal market fluctuation. They know that its value will increase in the near future and will rise higher than it is discounted. Therefore, it will attract more investment and accumulate in Bitcoin.

I do not want to think it could affect traditional investment when bitcoin prices go up. Traditional investments are very popular because their new way of investing in bitcoins is becoming popular and outselling some other traditional investments. When bitcoin collapses or falls and not much also affects traditional investment today. 8)

Bitacoin has long been used as an investment asset by investors, as far as I know bitcoin is not only used by professional investors / large investors and ordinary investors, not even a few ordinary people who contribute in this investment.

The collapse of Bitcoin it will in no way affect the traditional investment it's obviously unrelated unless, if that person associates bitcoin with other investments it may be influential.

Of course this is an ongoing fact, with increasing numbers of users it will automatically make traditional investments like gold, land, property, stocks, mutual funds and so soon disappear.

I think there are many investors in the real world, who are moving into the world of cryptocurrency. They think the benefits are multiplied and in the not-too-distant future.

I think that bitcoin has an affect the traditional investment since the collapse that is being ask is not totally a final collapse and I consider it as temporary.
Bitcoin is volatile that by anytime this will fluctuate and comes back to where it had previously started to dive. This is just a normal scenario for bitcoin where there are times the recovery is faster and sometimes the recovery could take too long to move back. The collapse or the bear market is an opportunity to bitcoin investors to buy bitcoin at a lower price and this is how old investors of bitcoin will do and eventually hold their btc's for good.
