Why invest in altcoin when you can invest in real estate, stock market?
There are many reasons why you should invest in cryptocurrencies, here are some of them in my opinion:
1. Cryptocurrencies will rise in price, and sharp fluctuations in the rate will go in the next few years, along with small speculators, as the growth of capitalization will deprive them of the opportunity to significantly move the course.
2. Bitcoin is a network with minimal fees, and Ripple is a modern analogue of SWIFT with payments generally without commissions and instant safe transactions.
3. Ethereum (Ether) and smart contracts are Blockchain 2.0: they take the economy to a fundamentally new level, deprive of the opportunity to manipulate, lie and guarantee unconditional fulfillment of obligations on the part of all participants of the ecosystem (notary, confirmation of ownership of assets, real estate and land transactions, automatically fulfilled wills, medical cards and real diplomas of Universities, P2P - lending, and so on).
4. Bitcoin is a " digital gold "and a protective asset in unstable times - when markets collapse and the government" guarantees " that it will take care of your money.
5. Bitcoin continues to grow for 9 years in a row.
6. Investments in blockchain startups have already exceeded $ 1 billion. Among the investors are Google, Microsoft, PayPal.
7. Cryptocurrencies are not regular Webmoney, Qiwi or Yandex-money, they are decentralized, their emission can not be forged, and they do not depend on the well-being of one commercial structure.
8. Cryptocurrencies are recognized in Japan and most European countries as money and an investment asset in the United States with the need to pay tax only upon receipt of profit. Today, their status is higher and more profitable for taxation than gold transactions, which have long lost the status of money and is considered a commodity.
9. Russia will already consider the issue of official adoption in 2018. But there is already positive rhetoric.
10. Cryptocurrencies are liquid, they can be easily exchanged for traditional unsecured money.
