Cryptocurrencies: Misunderstood in a hurry, 99.99% are speculative, but understanding 0.01% is worth the effort to find a new FANG
According to rough estimates, as on date there are more than 10,000 crypto currencies which are available for trading. Do you know that there is nothing which stops you from launching another crypto currency. So there is a dichotomy in the world of crypto currencies. On one side there is “ bitcoin” whose biggest selling point is that it has limited supply, but on the other hand there can be unlimited supply of crypto currencies. So, which part of the story should you believe? There is another divergence, when you dig a bit deeper, yes, 99.99% are speculative or probably not even worth having a look at. But another 0.01% are not. Just because they have been clubbed together in the generic basket called “ crypto currencies” they are also being treated as speculative. In reality they are technology platforms which are solving a problem which traditional tech companies have not been able to solve because of multiple reasons. So, rather than painting them same brush, it is time to understand them because the fact is crypto are here to stay
