Why people are comfortable investing in government controlled investments

[AicecreaME]

There are several reasons why people still choose to invest on government-controlled investments. Here are the things I have thought of:

1. They are not aware about cryptocurrency and other investment platforms.
2. They are aware about cryptocurrency, but don't have much time to study it or they just don't believe or trust how it works.
3. Government-controlled investments offer greater returns over time compared to what they know of, and they are settled to that amount already.


You see, a lot of people are still aren't aware about cryptocurrency. Some people don't just like to pay attention to it, hence, they are clueless about it. There are also some people that are actually aware about crypto, but it was instilled to them in a bad light. Many rumors and gossips such as schemes and scams made people afraid of risking to it. Hence, the majority just opt to invest on government-controlled investments because from the name itself, "government-controlled", it gives them assurance that their money is in the safe hands. Whatever happens, government will be held liable on their money. Maybe that thought makes them sleep very well at night.

In addition, government-controlled investments offer highee returns compared to other investment vehicles. Here in our country, there is a thing called PAG-IBIG, wherein you can save and invest your money for long-term and it offers high return compared to saving in traditional or digital banks. This kind of investment is enticing for the people, most especially to the non-techy ones because they can have the most out of their money without exerting too much effort at all.

A regulated place and an unregulated place are not comparable, generally, many people have the perception that whatever happening online is not to be trusted, and from the way things are happening with online related activities (scam,hacks and similar stuffs) it is enough to make some people scared. The crypto space which fall under the category of online activities is not very secured, anyone can loss money so easily, this is the major reason why many people will find it difficult to invest here but rather invest in a more secured environment which is the government controlled investment.

The government has a secure system to give you profit; economic funds circulate with them, so it's no doubt that it is reliable.
Money flows seamlessly through them, probably one of the reasons why corruption is prevailing. We have different government systems, some citizens have no control over the policies, but some can refute the unfair management. There's a wide variety of choices out there, but based on my knowledge and on my place, investing a huge amount is still preferred as it offers more benefits.

actually very simple because basically the people who invest that are controlled by the government there are some very difficult reasons to stop it.
the first is that basically government-controlled investments must have rules, one of which cannot be taken within a certain period of time so that if they take it but have not reached the set time, the investment will be subject to a fine
besides that they still haven't fully accepted the investment that is here so they are more comfortable there because it's more scalable and planned and definitely gets a profit even though it's very small and can't be compared to investing in crypto

The problem about humans ever since the world began(lol, I sang. ) is that even when they know that what they are doing is morally wrong, they disregard their morals just to satisfy their own greed. And as we can see, even after all these years humans still remain the same. While some may be able to suppress their own greed and act more responsible, it doesn't mean they are already doing everything based on morals alone because not everything that is good can be aligned with morals. Now the same goes with how the governments interact with the crypto industry and other industries. And depending on the main leader, anything can be possible. Either way, too late or not, who can decide and how to know when is too late?

Investing in government assets are mainly driven by the mentally of investors which is associated with old generations  or as they are called as" boomers". I think the situation has changed a lot with the current millennial generation who doesn't like the idea of centralization that's why millennials created decentralized finance

For the millennials, they're more okay with risk taking and they will enter every risky market as much as they can as long as it's a legitimate market.

And that's why many from the bitcoin community are young investors ranging to young adults because they understand the technology and concept that bitcoin has.

I agree about the old generation, they're more open with the traditional assets and investments than the newer ones.

I think this is normal.
This is because people think that the government is just relying on it. If something goes wrong, the government can be approached, and the government will not run away with money. If you invest in other places, the risk is higher.

this is very likely to happen besides that those who invest in government are usually the older generation at that time they may still not be familiar with investing here, besides that there may be some other reasons that they cannot leave government-controlled investments, such as a certain time limit. and maybe they are comfortable there and don't want to change their minds besides that because there are several countries that still prohibit this crypto, especially in bitcoin

As far as authorities go, governments are the big dogs and so investment backed by them is perceived to be safer than others.

And the major reason is that government is responsible for investment. Because government is backed by these investment plans. So, investors feels safer to invest in government based projects. So, invest in government based projects. Crypto currency is not backed by any world government. It is a decentralized currency and there is no one who controls this currency. So, invest at your own risk on this currency.

People will always trust the government. They think the government will give them protection.
Of course this is the government of some big countries. The governments of some small countries have no rights, and even if they have guarantees, people will not invest in government-controlled assets.

Government is professional. People who work in government institutions are smart and mostly superior than ordinary people. Actually government only want to protect their citizens. But some government sometimes has bad ideology related some regulations. But the main intention is to make their citizens live in good environment although sometimes their way is fals. It is normal because they are only human. Trust is an important thing, if government fail to give their investors profit then those investors maybe will not invest in it anymore. So it is important to make sure that investors always get profit. They will not apply the same thing with btc because it will not benefits them.
