Cryptocurrencies are the biggest technology and financial markets craze of 2017. It’s almost impossible not to be in finance or tech this year and not have about blockchain and digital tokens such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
For the techies, blockchain is a powerful network - allowing almost instant financial transactions across the world with low fees and without regulation or gridlocks. For the finance guys and investors, Bitcoin is a massive cash cow. In the last decade, no asset has delivered return on investment like Bitcoin has. In just one year, the value of Bitcoin has grown over 890% and is currently trading at over $11,000.
Bitcoin investors however, are after profit. With the growth in value of Bitcoin over the years, the speculative game is in favour for Bitcoin investors. The reward is worth the risk. And of course, like every good speculator, the advice is do not bet the whole house on this. How does one get started on investing in Bitcoin?
We recommend taking a small percentage of capital and trading Bitcoin in a strict 30 day window. For instance Bitcoin has grown 52% in the last 30 days. So if you had taken a million naira, or a hundred thousand and bought Bitcoin on November 1, 2017, by today you would be be N520,000 or N52,000 richer. And then you sell that off, keep your profit and buy only with your original capital again. As your capital grows, you can slowly increase your invested amounts. And of course any losses when Bitcoin swings lower would be covered by the profits you already took, in which case you can buy more Bitcoin and ride it as it bounces back up.
The best part about Bitcoin is that you don’t need to own 1 BTC. With just 0.01 BTC, you can begin your investment in this unique digital currency.
