Pension funds bringing money to Bitcoin.

It is really interesting that at last some pension funds have wet their feet in cryptocurrency investing. Someone is going to be very happy or very pissed off in the future. What do you think of this? It is really a breakthrough for crypto as an investment?

The future is good for cryptocurrency but I think its too risky to invest and depend your future retirement with cryptocurrency. I believe on this market but its better for me to diversify my investment and don’t depend on one income only. Retirement/pension fund should be put on the place that is more liquid i think.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-03-24/pension-crisis-too-big-for-markets-to-ignore

Just posting the links, since a lot of people posted how pensions funds are wonderful and super!
Are you guys aware that it's the pension funds that drive the current financial system? The same that we complain about, the same we want to be changed, the reason we use BTC.
Search on the web also to know in what they invest in, you could be quite surprised and you will wonder where is the ethic

Good approach from Pension funds towards realizing the potentials one can get when invest in cryptocurrency for a long term. The government can no longer turn blind eyes against cryptocurrency as they start exploiting its opportunities for their citizens.

The idea is great. Don't take me as a negative person but I'm afraid that it may be turned into some fraud project in the end, and I truly hope it's just my imagination.

Pension funds in cryptocurrency will surely make a big change on the life. It can go on the negative side as well on positive side. Earlier one of the bitcoin user sold all his properties including his shelter bought back bitcoin. He's lucky to profit big as the price peaked all of the sudden after he made the investment. He risked along with his three children, wife buying bitcoin expecting good return.

According to my concept in US public pension funds . focus on cryptocurrency investment . The first investment of pension funds in virtual currency investment space. Currently   there is no disclosure of the investment terms apart from equity investments in crypto based companies the fund will retain a portion of the value as cryptocurrency like Bitcoins there is a belief in the world institutional that if the industry will be around  for a long time, it will be very valuable the smart money is not distracted by price but looks at the long term trends and believes they are a great way to deliver risk reduced returns .

Is it real? Are really peoples putting their money from pension in cryptocurrencies?
If yes, then they might surely be looking for positive side of cryptocurrencies and might be seeing bitcoins on a great height ahead. Bitcoins are great for even holding for a year or two. Most of the percentage of centralised currencies are being entering the decentralised markets and it should really be good for the cryptocurrency markets.
Also this proves that the demand for cryptocurrencies is rising rapidly as even old aged peoples are been putting their pension money into them. This might surely hike up the price.

I am sure that some people use their pension funds to jump into bitcoin and they use all of the money to buy bitcoin. But I would say that it's not a good idea and I will call that is greediness because we don't know what will bitcoin do in the future. Bitcoin price itself will still fluctuate from time to time, and we cannot expect to see bitcoin can increase higher in one night, and that is impossible.

I will suggest to that person to use 50% of the total of his pension funds to invest in crypto. 30% to invest in bitcoin, and 20% in the altcoin but he needs to know how to pick the right altcoin, so he doesn't pick the wrong coins for the investment. I am sure that he can found the best coin and he can be able to make a big profit for a long-term investment.

A lot of blockchain related start ups are going to be happy because a major percentage of these funds are going to be invested in those companies. Only a minor percentage will be invested in liquid cryptos. That makes complete sense because pension fund is a serious money and a lot of people are dependent on it. So investing completely in liquid crypto assets will be very risky. Rather it is somewhat safer to invest in the equities of blockchain companies.

Hope this investment effort will be an eye opener for a lot of market regulators who are still skeptical about cryptos.

I agree with that. It believe it is not yet the right time to invest all your pension funds to liquid crypto assets. A very risky and very volatile investments. People are depending on it. So handling this kind of money is no joke at all. But, setting a small percentage might do the trick.

This will be a very small percentage indeed. The equivalent of dipping a toe in the water to check the temperature.

[Iceblast]

it's too risky to bring the pension to crypto, maybe you can only bring funds to crypto 30% believe that bitcoin has a risk. and you have to think about that

[d_fitrie]

It's a very high-risk decision and I appreciate the act of investing very large funds, I think they take advantage of this moment because the price of bitcoin drops to the lowest point and if the only bitcoin rises 10% then the pension fund will also increase

Anyone can put their money in whatever place they want. They just need to do some research and for me, I don't consider this kind of surprising.

Even big companies are into blockchain nowadays.

With the current price of bitcoin that Would be a good sign for crypto market as a whole. The more money flows in crypto the more chance it would goes up and it would be a win win situation to all crypto investor.

This is not as easy as this....
the more money flows in.... but what happen if the money is not enough that flows in? That would cause the price to go still down, so the investors will sell instead of buy...

[Bitcoin-Turkiye]

if you buy a house with a portion of the money after you make a profit with trade, or if you make real smart investments, both possibilities are profitable... but I'm an stupid.. I won a lot of money, but I didn't get anything.. and this year my money melted in the altcoins... Keeping coin only is a gamble.!

[karloscimot]

don't put all of our pension in bitcoin. this is just to be on guard so that if we get our losses not to shred, because the money we invest is not all but only a part. if we feel we get a profit, we can gradually add our investment.

It is good progress of bitcoin because right now there are many people who believe in the bitcoin as instrument of investment and protect our values of money in the bitcoin, pension funds will increase in couples year later and the manager of it, they know the money will move to the bitcoin for in coming future. So for all of community there is no wrong to make retirement plan on the bitcoin or at least long term investment in the bitcoin.

[kingpin4321]

That must be a brave decision they made. As others are feeling. dismayed on the current status of cryptocurrency in general, they have taken a bold step. They must have seen the future potential of cryptocurrency and they don't want to be left behind in not engaging on it. This news will encourage readers to do the same as well.

Yes I must say I share your thoughts. Cryptocurrency is something that would yield a better possibility in the coming future and it's wise that everyone is taking a good position for the future

[cizatext]

So many people are going to be happy with the news of pension found being invested into bitcoin and if those pension bord get their members to start using bitcoin like paying them they pension with bitcoin that will really increase the level of bitcoin adaptations and with that it will lead to increase in price of bitcoin.

Crypto can be a profitable investment, but also has risks because of volatile prices, pension funds are for old age and will be very risky if you put all your retirement funds into crypto.
