Most people believe cryptocurrency is something people are going to use to buy and sell things like real estate, cars, furniture, and whatever else. Although that is partially true, that’s not what cryptocurrency is really about. In many cases, a blockchain will launch a cryptocurrency to pay validators to validate transactions and secure the blockchain network. And if the blockchain is good, it will attract developers. As more developers start to use that blockchain, the demand for that cryptocurrency increases and the price of that cryptocurrency also goes up. Therefore, an investor might take a look at a blockchain and if they think it is going to attract a lot of users, investing in that blockchain’s cryptocurrency could be a savvy investment.
Over the past decade, developers have discovered uses for cryptocurrencies that go well beyond payments and validating transactions. As blockchain technology continues to develop, new use cases are emerging which solve real world problems and create new opportunities for investment. In my opinion cryptocurrency is the new frontier for the savvy investor.
