Massive Crypto Volatility Triggers Fear and Anxiety for Investors

Are cryptocurrencies sinking into a deep dark abyss with no hope of resurfacing?

Cryptocurrencies have suffered massive losses of over 640 billion in 2018 leaving many investors anxious about what the future holds for cryptocurrencies.

“It just shows what a massive, speculative bubble the whole crypto thing was — as many of us at the time warned,” said Neil Wilson, chief market analyst in London for Markets.com, a foreign-exchange trading platform. “It’s a very likely a winner takes all market — Bitcoin currently most likely.”

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has recently been cited by Bloomberg as saying that there’s a “ceiling in sight” for cryptocurrencies and that “there isn’t an opportunity for yet another 1,000-times growth in anything in the space anymore.”

Not everyone is joining the crypto skeptics, however — with investors like Tim Draper who believe that cryptocurrencies will increase by four hundred times in the next 20 years. Draper discusses the need for long-term thinking on cryptocurrency because the technology in time will change the world.

“The internet started in the same way, it came in big waves and then it kind of came crashing down, and then the next wave comes concentrated but much bigger, and I suspect the same thing will go on here,” said Tim Draper.

Draper blames market ignorance and speculators for the volatility in the crypto markets–he believes that as the market matures more stabilization will occur.

“The internet went after industries that were $10–100 billion-dollar markets, cryptocurrency will go after trillion-dollar markets — these are finance, healthcare and insurance, banking and investment banking, and governments.”

No matter which side of the fence you find yourself on when it comes to making predictions about cryptocurrency one thing is for sure, real estate isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you are tired of stressing out about crypto market volatility you should consider a less volatile investment like real estate; after all, real estate has provided an average rate of return of 7.1% since 1870–making it slightly higher than equities.

U.S real estate has proven to be a good investment with less volatility in comparison to equities and other investments. With the advancement in technology we are seeing groundbreaking innovation occurring with the securitization of assets.

In a not too distant future real estate, business, art, and any other type of asset could be fractionally divided into security tokens in the blockchain and traded on exchanges. This would allow more investors access to real estate of all types in markets all over the world, this level of disruption would absolutely transform how we view assets today.

“The power of tokenization here is about the ability of smart contracts to record results, and transcend boundaries to reach last mile and prior excluded and undervalued populations; and to immutably support human identity, dignity and data ownership.”
