Crypto to beat Conventional investing - Experts
Cryptocurrency is expected to outperform conventional assets, according to a new Bitstamp poll.
In the absence of large-scale backers, a rally is unlikely to occur.
Cryptocurrency is seen as trustworthy by 70% of the respondents, and 68% of those surveyed said they use it in their investing plans.
Bitcoin has already been the best-performing asset of the decade, so this shouldn't surprise. There is nothing we can do except hope for the same.
More than 28,000 people from 23 countries participated in the poll, covering both developed and developing countries.
Consequently, the survey findings should be taken with a grain of salt.
23,113 were individual investors among the total participants, while 5,450 were institutional investors.
While it's natural to assume that the retail market would be more inclined to embrace cryptocurrency, the reality is quite the reverse.
Eighty-eight percent of institutional investors believe that crypto will become popular in the next decade, while 75 percent of merchants believe the same thing.
And we have said that 80 percent of them also predict that crypto would outperform conventional investments.
This demonstrates that industry experts have begun to see the sector's potential. As for retailers, just half of them concur with the same sentiment.
The essential thing for investors is to preserve their faith and hang on to their investments, regardless of the asset class's performance.
According to the poll results, shopkeepers and institutional investors alike have the same degree of faith in cryptocurrency.
If the previous decade is any guide, crypto will be better by 2030.
Eventually, we will have adequate legislation in every nation, the adoption will have occurred, and the technology will be superior to avoid hackers.
However, my optimism stems from my conviction in the asset class. If you don't, that's completely acceptable as well.
