Why I'd ignore Bitcoin and buy this dirt-cheap, 7%-yielding FTSE 250 dividend stock
Why would anyone buy Bitcoin right now? Any investment of course involves the balancing of risk and reward but, as far as I’m concerned, the virtual currency simply contains too much peril to make it a sensible destination for your cash.
Discussions over regulation are picking up pace. Sure, the next important stage in Bitcoin’s journey in becoming a mainstream asset. But there remains a raft of reasons why the asset could continue to add to 2018’s painful decline, from that persistent scepticism over the underlying value of the currency, to the broad decline in market confidence that’s sapping demand for all so-called riskier assets.
Regulatory woes
Dip buyers looking to grab a bargain would be better, then, to forget about buying Bitcoin at the present time. A better contrarian buy is 888 Holdings (LSE: 888), in my opinion, a share that has fallen more than 40% in value over the past 12 months.
Like Bitcoin, concerns over regulation is a big problem for the gambling sector, and this caused 888 to slide last year. It’s a problem that will never go away, and is one that has intensified over the past few days.
To me this makes it look like they bought a lot of gambling stocks before the tighter regulations and are trying to pump them.
With any luck, these non provably fair casinos will die out and we will see a rise of smaller house edge ones.
To add to this, if this isn't what the writer is doing, he's trying to speculate so he's just bearish on Bitcoin and speculating more on gambling shares. Which are probably going to drop further based on lobbying in the UK and a few other countries.
