Bitcoin is GOD

Quote from: linzerdshaffen on February 12, 2019, 04:30:30 PM

It is really interesting that at last some pension funds have wet their feet in cryptocurrency investing. Someone is going to be very happy or very pissed off in the future. What do you think of this? It is really a breakthrough for crypto as an investment?

While I love bitcoin I do not really think that this is such a good idea, pensions funds should concentrate themselves not as much in getting profits but on not getting losses, the volatility of this market could destroy the future of all of those that have their money in the pension funds that invest in this market, can you imagine the outrage that it will produce if some of those pensions funds invest heavily in altcoins only to lose it all?

That is something I really do not want to see.

There are lot of users who are using their pension funds into crypto, and at the same time there are users who has been regularly saving a small earning in terms of crypto for their future believing the growth of cryptocurrency. Though it has got risk people have positive hope and that's the reason such kind of investments were increasing with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Probably we can soon expect some ico targeting these kind of people.

That must be a brave decision they made. As others are feeling. dismayed on the current status of cryptocurrency in general, they have taken a bold step. They must have seen the future potential of cryptocurrency and they don't want to be left behind in not engaging on it. This news will encourage readers to do the same as well.

It will be another tough discussion between those who believes and non believers, pension funds can be good for investment but if you are already old enough your priorities is to enjoy life as you already spent most of it working, for those who invested their money how long they will need to wait again, they won't enjoy their money if the bull trend happen after another 5-10yearsagain.

Who ever is going to invest the pension money have to be in old age and still wanted to invest the future money in another more delay then it has to be very risky as how much it will take for market to recover dont know.

If I'm old enough and I have pension funds, I'll definitely invest it somewhere so it can sustain some of my needs in the future as long as I don't need the money for the meanwhile. At least these folks has the guts to invest in cryptocurrency, they are re-investing their money which is a wise idea.

Someone is going to be very happy ~~or very pissed off in the future.~~

Lets all wish them the happiness in the future, I don't want to them to be pissed off because they lost their money's value after investing to crypto. I don't want them to blame crypto one day.

if to lose it depends on how he uses it because if he is a true investor it will definitely not lose because he knows the strategy that will be used if the crypto goes down

However, pension funds should not be used as investment material, especially in crypto because you know.... its volatile so this is very unwise decision, People should know that we have to use funds that are considered "worth to lose". When pension funds used in crypto and that investor was loses, other's only can said "I'm sorry to hear that" Grin

You can use a pension fund to invest in crypto, but if you use all your funds it will be a risky choice, and consider the good and bad first.

That is really a brave move! for old people who are very dependent only in their pension funds have the courage to risk their money even though its not a 100% win. They can both earn more money or going to lose all their pension because of market's high volatility. I hope that they can earn and not to lose all their money.

It's OK for the pension funds to invest in bitcoin,but it won't happen soon,because bitcoin is still considered as "extermely risky" financial asset,despite all the support the current bitcoin price gets.
I don't want the pension funds to invest in bitcoin futures or any other derivatives,because this won't help for btc price increase and mass adoption.

Without a doubt mass adoption is the key to an another all price high, if there would be only one government that will lead the way to do Bitcoin as a payment platform in their daily lives then it would be great to all of us crypto enthusiasts.

It will somehow increase the price of Bitcoin, If it wouldn't help then what would it be?

I think it is very good if pension funds are included in bitcoin, because it will help to invest in the future, and it is very helpful in profitable income going forward.

If you have pension for sure you are old person so better to prioritize your medicine and for your future needs and better to use the extra money that you invested. It depends also the pension that you have because they have different pension they have big pension and only a little so if the person have big pension they can invest to the bitcoin.

If you want to be seen in terms of development, obviously very good means that bitcoin has finally begun to be appreciated, making bitcoin even more trusted. but problems will occur to retire if that happens, because there are still many countries that have not been able to receive and acknowledge crypto. like in my country, it's impossible to happen especially to be invested. so there are still problems because not all countries can admit.

There is no difference between Pension fund money being invested into shares and money invested into Crypto currencies. We saw what happened to that Steinhof Huh

shares, when large scale corruption and mismanagement was found in the company. The risk is the same, because companies can fail too.

Institutional capital also have a diverse portfolio that are subdivided into low risk and medium risk and high risk investments, so they will never collapse if one investment fails. Wink

Yeah it's a brave move, but I think it's a bit too brave, one of my concern is the volatility, crypto could give huge profit or big lost, but for something that is important like pension funds is not too suitable to invest in crypto, but who knows the result if its not being tried, and this could bring a positive growth for crypto, I am excited yet concerned to see what will be the result

“The smart money is not distracted by price but looks at the long-term trends, and believes they’re betting on innovation as a great way to deliver risk-mitigated returns.’’

The phrase I liked was the definition of Bitcoin as smart money rather than mere digitized assets, as well as justification for fluctuations in long-term trends.

There was a kind of understanding and acceptance of the nature of this technology away from rapid speculation in order to achieve profits in the short term or long term at the lowest estimate.
We are moving in the right direction.

Ballsy move tbh. If you are old enough to receive pension funds, chances are there aren't that much companies and organizations willing to employ you, unless you're highly skillful and is a master of your trade, and companies can still see value in you. At that ripe old age, I'd probably be just chilling and won't be looking towards making more money than what I already have (unless the situation's rough and I really need to get extra money.) Not that I'm against what they're doing but given how shaky and volatile bitcoin was in the past decade, I'd just be extremely careful and not waste my chances.

It would be nice to see Institutional Investment into Bitcoin and other crypto currencies, but Institutional Investment have a great responsibility to there investors, assets there can, and will, fall with 50 or 90 every few year are not a secure investment.
However I would like to see my local pension funds invest just 1% into Bitcoin.

With the current market this may be a very risky step. If Crypto continues to go down, it will cause everything to fail, and the protesters will get more and more. I hope Crypto will grow again so that every step that can set foot on success is not a failure.
