YFSOL Special Opportunity: DIVERSIFIED BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain is more than Bitcoin. Blockchain is powerful technology used by leading tech companies
Doesn’t that tell you that blockchain is a serious business? And that there is more to blockchain than the constant kerfuffle about Bitcoin? We think so.
After careful research, we’ve found what we believe to be the most sensible way of investing in blockchain: a very diversified fund.
6 Elements of a Sensible Blockchain Investment Strategy:
INDEX TRACKING
Invest in a basket of multiple cryptocurrencies so that you reduce your exposure to volatility. This is the crypto equivalent of investing in a fund made up of the FTSE 100 companies.
INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT MINE CRYPTOCURRENCIES
Mining is the creation of cryptocurrency units. Put very simply, to create new bitcoins, a miner has to solve a complex puzzle before someone else does. Their reward is new bitcoin. Miners are part of the infrastructure that supports many cryptocurrencies.
INVEST IN COMPANIES THAT USE BLOCKCHAIN TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
A blockchain is a decentralised ledger. In other words, the ledger is hosted and maintained in multiple places at once. Technology companies use blockchain to solve real-world problems, including fraud prevention and transparent business lending schemes. Again: IBM Blockchain is a good example.
INVEST IN INITIAL COIN OFFERINGS (ICOs) AND SECURITY TOKEN OFFERINGS (STOs)
You can buy in early when a cryptocurrency is launched. Health warning: ICOs and STOs are where huge profits can be made. With huge potential profits come huge potential risks. That goes for any investment in a start-up, which is what an ICO or STO essentially is.
TRADE CRYPTOCURRENCIES
You can buy and sell cryptocurrencies. But you really have to know what you’re doing. It is very easy to lose a lot of money very quickly. Cryptocurrency values are notoriously volatile.
LENDING
Just like you can make money from lending regular currencies, you can do the same with cryptocurrencies.
The final piece of the puzzle: A CREDIBLE FUND
A fund that runs a multifaceted investment strategy isn’t enough. You need to be sure that your money is going to a credible fund.
We think a credible fund would have these characteristics:
There are more, but these are some of the things we’d look for…
That’s why we’ve partnered with Block Asset Management (BAM) to bring you YFSOL Special Opportunity: Diversified Blockchain.
You’ve probably figured out what this investment opportunity does. It’s an investment strategy that sets your money to work doing items 1-6 on the list above. It’s available as a USD and a EUR investment.
This is a unique fund, unlike any other in the world—a truly innovative strategy.
If you want to invest like a pro, regardless of what you are investing in, the key is to diversify. The more individual stakes you have in different kinds of investment, the greater your chances of success and growth. Diversification is also the best way to reduce risk in your portfolio. On the right is how BAM’s Multi-strategy Fund is structured.
Our take
Investing in blockchain and cryptocurrencies isn’t right for everyone. But we believe the sector is reaching maturity and there is something promising brewing in the near future that could lead to healthy profits on investments made now. Also, blockchain technology is being widely adopted by leading technology companies to solve challenges for their business clients.
We believe that adopting a diversified approach is the best way to benefit from the investment opportunities presented by blockchain technology.
The Risks:
While spreading your investment across a range of blockchain asset types is, we believe, a sensible approach, you will still be investing part of your money into cryptocurrenies. The cryptocurrency market is notorious for its startling fluctuations. It reached significant highs in 2017, only for the value of the leading coins to collapse in 2018. Then in 2021, the market reached highs (and maintained them) that dwarfed the enormous gains in 2017. We don’t know what the future holds, but the ride is likely to be “interesting”. As with all investments, the value of your investment can go down as well as up.
