I have locked my investment for the next 5 years. I hope to get good returns. Also, volatility is part of the game. The technology will stay. However, the same cannot be said about other cryptocurrencies.

There is no doubt that blockchain will be there in the future. No government hates the technology, but the cryptocurrencies that come with it. With blockchain, they can refine their systems even more and make them decentralized for the end users. However, I do suspect, if it will be a hybrid blockchain at work. They will always want a centralized control with blockchain capibilities.

For me, it is always following one simple rule: Invest only the money that you are ready to lose. I also followed the Beginner's investment guides on the web to know if I am doing things correctly or not. One of my favorite guides includes is this one. I also suggest reading You story guide.

Banking will surely take advantage of the blockchain technology. In fact, many banks have already started to take advantage of the blockchain. One such example would be Barclays which be using it for ned users and completely integrate into their system.

Overall, I think Banks have to adapt blockchain. Also, there are plenty of reasons to like blockchain, but not Bitcoin.
