Ultimate Guide To Investing In Blockchain

• By now, you would have certainly heard of the
  term 'blockchain' as it is the buzz word in
  several circles. You might have also heard people
  telling you how profitable it can be to invest in
  blockchains. In this article, I will be briefing
  you about the various investment options that
  blockchain technology offers. But before delving
  deeper, we will first define the term 'blockchain.

Understanding Blockchain

• A blockchain can be defined as a decentralized,
  digital ledger or database that helps store
  transactions in a transparent and immutable way,
  meaning that data, once stored on a blockchain,
  cannot be altered or deleted by anyone.

Guide To Investing In Blockchains

• The first and foremost step to take before
  investing in blockchains is consulting a
  financial expert or advisor. Once that is done,
  you can start looking at investment options such
  as

Stockpiling Bitcoin

• Just like many investors stockpile gold in
  anticipation of rising prices, there are many
  others who stockpile Bitcoin. Though the two
  assets may be totally different in nature as gold
  is tangible and Bitcoin is not, both of them are
  similar in terms of the basic investment
  principles. For instance, both gold and Bitcoin
  are considered rare.

• It all simply boils down to supply and demand. As
  there is a limited supply of both, a rise in
  demand causes a rise in value. If you are one who
  thinks that stockpiling bitcoin will only work
  for investors, consider the case of the famed
  Winklevoss twins who had reported about holding
  one percent of the total amount of Bitcoins that
  were in circulation. Today, there are many
  methods that are available for procuring Bitcoin.
  So, this is certainly a good time for you to
  begin a cryptocurrency investment portfolio.

2. Altcoin Crowdfunding

• Crowdfunding refers to using small amounts of the
  capital gathered from many individuals for
  financing a new business venture. It is now
  considered a mainstream method for raising seed
  capital for all forms of investments. One method
  of investing in blockchain is by indulging in
  crowdfunding by using alternative coins. In this
  method, the total coin supply is pre-mined and
  sold in an initial coin offering (ICO) before the
  network is publicly launched. In this method,
  investors will be able to purchase coins with the
  expectation that there will be a rise in prices
  in the future if this service becomes popular.

3. Investing in Starting Exploiting Blockchain
Technology

• Investing in a startup is less risky than
  investing in a cryptocurrency. The main challenge
  one will face is finding or defining a blockchain
  startup. There are many startups that use
  blockchain just to produce tokens, coins, or to
  transfer coins or tokens from one person to the
  other for a specific purpose. There are also
  startups out there that invest in blockchain
  technology just because the other options are not
  suitable for them.

9

• So, if you are confident that you have the means
  and the inclination to invest in a blockchain
  startup, you must certainly do so but with
  caution. Like you would do for any other
  investment option, make sure that the startup
  company that you are considering uses blockchain
  only for blockchain purposes and that they are
  looking at blockchain as a permanent solution and
  not as just a temporary one.

3. Invest Your Time And Money To Learn
Blockchain

• Blockchain, as most of us know, is one of the
  highest in-demand, candidate-short industries.
  Employers all over the world are looking for
  blockchain professionals who have profound
  knowledge in the field and would be able to use
  that knowledge to design blockchain solutions
  that will help- make a huge difference in their
  business processes.

• Investing in blockchain technology does not only
  refer to the options that have been mentioned
  above. It also refers to putting in both your
  time and money to enroll in blockchain courses or
  certifications offered by universities or online
  learning platforms that will equip you with the
  adequate knowledge needed to stay way ahead of
  your peers in the blockchain ecosystem.
