Cryptocurrencies and Blockchains – Anyone Investing here?

beebee
edited September 2018 in Fund Discussions
This is a PPT presentation on cryptocurrencies which are digital assets and blockchain technology which is a distributed digital ledger technology. The term "Fintech" combines finance and technology. A lot to learn in this disruptive trend in technology.

Anyone investing in these areas through mutual funds or etfs?

    I think blockchain technology is actually the real deal. Not quite sure how to invest in it, except through the big tech companies. That's pretty much what the blockchain ETFs do.

    Blockchain technology: investing, maybe.
    Cryptocurrencies: gambling, for sure. (Says me, who just bought some MJ, just for the hell of it.) :)

    As the recent bitcoin quip explained, 'imagine if keeping your car idling 24/7 produced solved sudokus you could trade for heroin'.

    Detailed and precise ledger tracking, otoh, is the real deal, yes.

    Bitcoin has too many ups and downs this year. Still wonder if that is a viable and widely adopted currency.

    On the other hand, Warren Buffet found an Amazon-like stock in India, Paytm, and have invested a small stake.
