Blockchain is an innovative tool capable of permanently transforming our societies as well as the relationships between individuals, organizations and states. The technology relies on a chain of “blocks” (digital containers) capable of storing all sorts of information: transactions, contracts, title deeds or even works of art.
Blockchain enables the creation of transparent and decentralized networks that are independent of a centralized body or a third party. Blockchain, therefore, includes the following advantageous characteristics:
- Security: The decentralized framework and the blocks’ codes guarantee the absolute security of the information.
- Disintermediation: The concept of “consensus” replaces any of centralized validation.
- Autonomy: The creation of cryptocurrency covers the costs of the infrastructure involved.
Each Blockchain is associated with a cryptocurrency (also called a token). The most well-known is the Bitcoin, a currency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Tokens share the common trait of being a virtual means of exchange, not based in any single state, as opposed to the Dollar or the Euro. They circulate via peer-to-peer networks, based on cryptographic algorithms. They might serve as a payment method between users, but also fulfil a number of other functions.
Cryptocurrency Investing
With the number of crypto tokens continually on the rise, digital currencies emerged as a new kind of investment, intrinsically linked with our modern digital economy. Many investment novices are enthused by “quick wins” – while extremely volatile, digital currencies can demonstrate impressive financial performance. For instance, Bitcoin exceeded a rate of 18,000 USD in December 2017, despite being traded at a rate of just over 40000 USD in September 2017!
The market capitalization of Bitcoin alone is currently valued at over 127bn USD, with total market capitalization reaching 324bn USD at the time of writing.
Investing Challenges
The cryptocurrency trading’s boom has quickly led to information overwhelm. A casual crypto-investor is flooded with stories, statistics and opinions produced every second across a variety of digital platforms: from major news outlets and independent magazines, through blogs and forums, to social networks and private chats.
As a result, accessing actionable and reliable sources of information is a strategic challenge, hampering productivity. Besides being a source of stress, relying on poor quality data, fake news or hype can significantly hamper investor’s performance and be detrimental to profit. This new, volatile market is extremely sensitive and prone to overreacting when a news story is published, so being well informed and accessing the right information fast is a key asset to anticipating a market trend.
