There are plenty of cases of people getting rich off of crypto currencies but still there is no research available for people to get rich with crypto on purpose. However there are articles out to educate you and keep you up to speed on crypto, but those articles do not explain the dramatic price fluctuations that crypto has. Is crypto a good investment? Well not for me and I’ll tell you why.

First of all lets start this post off by explaining crypto currencies. Crypto currencies are just like trading on the foreign exchange market, when it comes to contrasting foreign currencies and crypto currencies the only thing different with crypto is that it is not backed by anything just yet. Unlike foreign currencies which are normal backed by a government, banks, or goods and services.

NO BACKING

So my number one reason why I wont hold crypto is because there is nothing supporting the currency just yet.

EXTREME FLUCTUATIONS

Also when it comes to crypto currencies there can be major fluctuations in the pricing, on December 7, 2017 bitcoin was being traded at $15,268.98 finishing the year off with a 3,500 percent return. However the for the next year on December 6, 2018 bitcoin was trading at $3,530.06 that is a $11,738.92 loss, which is a 2,600 percent loss.

NOT ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE

Lastly crypto currencies are still fairly new which means there is a lot of risk when dealing with these trades and unlike stocks there is barley anyone who can give you advice on trading crypto currencies. There is simply not enough knowledge on crypto currencies yet.
