There is much hype surrounding bitcoin right now, and many people
who claim to be psychic think the price will soon reach $5000 per coin. But is
this all crazy hype bubble-mania or is this coin the real deal and about to
skyrocket into the atmosphere and create more millionaires along the way.
It is obvious that the genie is out of the bottle, and
cryptocurrencies will continue to rise and take market share away from stocks,
other precious metals, bonds and currencies investors should take a shot on
this. If you lose a few bucks, at least you took a shot in life, you miss every
shot that you do not take. It will probably be more upsetting to watch it (from
the sidelines) go up another 500%."
Another rival digital currency ethereum could double in value from just
under $200 to reach $400 in the next year, and another digital currency,
litecoin, to double from about $40 to $80.
Stock analyst say the top 20 digital currencies by market are
creating huge buzz and it might be time to look at the crypto world if people
have money to burn.
In 10-15 years from now, the charts on a few of the top 20 names
could look like the Amazon, Apple, Tesla, Facebook, Netflix and Google charts
look today.
Bitcoin has already as developers go ahead with a scheduled upgrade
known as Bitcoin Cash. Direct owners of bitcoin will then hold two versions of
the digital currency.
The market is telling you right now that there are many positives
going forward and bitcoin due to limited supply in 2020 could make bitcoin even
more rarer than gold.
The digital currency hit a record $4,025 in this week with Wall St
analysts now circulated and wondering what all the hype is about.
If major trends develop, bitcoin could reach $5,000 "in a few
years, we are not far away right now.
Since March 2017, institutional attention on bitcoin has only
increased.
Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee became the first major Wall Street
strategist to publish a report about bitcoin on July 7. Less than a week later,
Switzerland's financial market regulator authorized the first Swiss bank to
manage bitcoin for clients, while the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
last Monday approved the first bitcoin options platform. This is big news, and
caused some of the biggest names on Wall St to look at this asset.
Last Tuesday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also
issued a report and investors bulletin on initial coin offerings, or sales of
new digital coins.
There is now little doubt that 1% of the money in cash, bonds,
stocks and gold will end up in cryptocurrencies, and that would only put the
icing on the cake for bitcoin.
Since the $80 billion cryptocurrency market right now is a 25th of 1
percent of the $200 trillion in gold, cash, stocks and bonds, we must point out digital currencies will need to
increase by 25 times in order to reach 1 percent of the overall capital market.
If cryptocurrencies become part of asset allocation models and take
2 to 4 percent of capital markets, then the digital currencies will likely
increase 100 times in value. That is very possible in the coming years.
Of course there are a host of risks for investing in digital
currencies, including inherent high volatility, large-scale hacks on
cryptocurrency firms and potential regulation, especially in China, that could
cause prices to "collapse." That could be fast, but it’s a risk some
market players are willing to take.
In addition, there does seem to be a lack of customer support for
online digital currency products.
"There is no telephone support," he said in the report.
"You must go to the FAQs section and spend a long time looking for the
answer to whatever question you may have — and then you may not be happy with
the answer. Your only other option is to send an email to customer support
which could take anywhere from one-to-seven days to get a reply."
All that said, it might be, the right time to buy digital currencies,
is now. He described in his report how investors can buy bitcoin, and why
financial institutions are interested in the blockchain technology behind
bitcoin and other digital currencies. The potential of this might be even
bigger than bitcoin itself.
Some people keep watching from the sidelines for a few years and it
felt recently as if the train is leaving the station, if we are talking NFL
football, we are still in the first quarter of a four quarter game and that
even though I missed out on significant gains (2014 - 2016), it might not be
too late to get in.
