eToro are bullish on cryptocurrencies

In a recent survey done by eToro which shows that over 40% of “millennial online traders” appear to have “less faith” in the performance of the traditional stock market – when compared to the digital asset market.

Almost half of the Millennial online traders have more trust in crypto exchanges than the U.S. stock market

Approximately 70% of millennials participating in eToro’s poll that were not trading crypto said they would start if more institutions began providing the option to invest in digital assets

Guy Hirsch, eToro’s managing director:

“We’re seeing the beginning of a generational shift in trust from traditional stock exchanges to crypto exchanges. At the heart of this change are the asset classes themselves. Younger investors’ experience with the stock market has seen a great deal of loss of trust, with the fall of Lehman Brothers because of irresponsible practices followed by the worst recession since the Great Depression.”

We are lagging behind the technology

The UK Managing Director for eToro Iqbal V. Gandham questions the way cryptocurrencies are today measured.

“Why should we measure cryptocurrencies with the same yardstick used for traditional payment and currency systems”

The idea that to solely measure the success of crypto with how many people are paying for their coffees with Bitcoin is old, and poor.

Iqbal writes in the report that we need to evolve our methods as cryptocurrencies are an evolution of current and previous payment and financial instruments.

So by using this old way of measuring the success and potency of digital currencies we are showing ourselves to be lagging behind technology.

There is not just one form of cryptocurrency

At first there was only Bitcoin. Many came along to follow (copy) the original cryptocurrency. But since then many more has come. And there are now thousands of different cryptocurrencies around the world. Many will fall of course. But they are not all like Bitcoin.

Or as it was originally intended. To be a peer-to-peer currency. Now with the help of Ethereum the rise of smart contract coins and platforms are here.

And with that comes and an endless amount of opportunities for all types of use cases. Many are found in the supply chain industry, where leading blockchain startups like VeChain have quickly gained fame.
