Buy Bitcoin in 2019? How to Play the Cryptocurrency Market




It’s been almost two years since cryptocurrency went mainstream. Back in the fall of 2017, the price of bitcoin rose over 500% in three months, as investors all suddenly became aware of the apparent future of payments and saw a flurry of headlines like: As Bitcoin Scrapes $10,000, an Investment Boom Like No Other.

But those highs were short-lived. From “peak crypto” most actual cryptocurrencies are worth a fraction of what they were back in early 2018. But some investors that played the craze without actually buying cryptocurrencies have done quite well.

They’ve bought stocks that have beaten the S&P 500 by 30%, 60%, even 160%!

While crypto ripped through the hype cycle, the core trends pushing it forward are still incredibly strong and they continue to create interesting opportunities for savvy investors. And so our analysts have been looking for more “backdoor” plays on cryptocurrencies and blockchain that offer big upside and stable core businesses, to boot.

That’s why our analysts are going live on YouTube to walk through their outlook on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, some interesting ways to play the future of payments, and a few cryptocurrencies investors should keep their eye on.

  5. Whenever I hear people crying – losing bitcoin, it surprises me – the fact is that no one wants to trade bitcoin and lose, yes everyone wants to win, at this time no one should still be complaining about losing money. bitcoin, do some deep research and learn more about cryptos and how markets work, change platform and signals if you're missing or if your current platform isn't meeting expectations – it's never too late, just like a friend of mine introduces me to Gomes, a man who has made such an impact on the cryptography markets, who has helped so many young bitcoin investors realize their dreams, their strategies are as clear and profitable as any I've seen since I met him trading with him. Because it is so lucrative, you can email us at ** <trade.lima09@gmailcom> for consultations, CHRISTMAS? is close to doing the right trade.

  6. Hi Guys,

    I’m a 19-year-old Canadian student starting my college education in the next 3 months and I have a question. I am very passionate about finance and the investing world, I’ve started reading and books and learning on the subject about 2 years ago now. This week I’ve read on «The Economist» that the majority of jobs in finance will be replaced by AI by the time I am 30… What do you make of this and is a finance college degree still a good option?

  7. Today the value of Bitcoin is measured against FIAT currency ,,, but what happens when the FIAT currency collapses and loses all its value ,, What do we value BTC against then, for example if Euro and dollar disappear completely from today's system.Then we no longer cant value BTC to FIAT-corrancy.

     Cryptocurrencies are now booming. In addition to Bitcoin, there are other #Alts growing very strongly like #Tokoin. in 2019 #Tokoin has brought profits up to 900% for investors. I believe #Tokoin will continue to grow even more.

  9. Great topic and interesting discussion. I would love to hear your thoughts about china's domination in Bitcoin network and how does that play into the idea of decentralized system. I would also love if you shared your thoughts about Ripple's approach and what does it mean to XRP. Are the prices of legit cryptocurrencies a textbook embodiment of market supply and demand, based on intrinsic trust of an asset? I'm aware these questions cannot be answered fully and based only on facts, as that will only be possible in retrospect. I still believe that it's very beneficial to have this discussion and share our thoughts. Motley Fool subscriber here, thanks for your service 😉

  11.

  12. Surprised you didn't mention that bitcoin is deflationary and scarce.
    Also, with CME, Bakkt and OTC brokers, bitcoin's liquidity continues to increase.
