Forecasts for bitcoin in 2018 are rather ambiguous. On one hand, some analysts predict gloomy future due to the current unstable situation.
On the other hand, optimists predict bitcoin a rapid increase in quotations, which must exceed its maximum threshold next year in the history of the existence of cryptology.
Although Bitcoin is still in a state of uncertainty. So many of you were wondering what to invest. Therefore, I had the idea to write a several alternatives for investing.
1. Bonds
A good alternative to deposits is bonds. The plus of this instrument is the absence of taxation. And from the same deposits, the tax on income of natural persons in the amount of 18%. But the percentage is different in different countries.
2.Gold
Investments in precious metals should be considered with a sight for 3-5 years.
Silver and gold are traditionally considered to be a long-term instrument to protect you against inflation. They are also interesting because, in 2018, the growth of the cost of precious metals can reach 10-20% in the world. And this gives the possibility of additional income. Therefore, you can invest up to 20% of savings, for example, invest monety / ingots or look at the so-called gold deposits.
3.Real estate
To invest in real estate is required neatly. You can choose an attractive option for a long time in the secondary market as well.True, it must be remembered that investment in real estate pays off for a long time - 10-20 years. And in the case of force majeure, housing will not be sold quickly .
4.Bitcoin: Interesting, but risky
In cryptology you need to invest carefully.The market is speculative, can sharply grow and fall. In 2017, bitcoin cost about 19,000 dollars, now - about 8 thousand dollars. Intraday fluctuations of the Crypto-currency may be 25%. You need to have iron nerves to withstand the jumps, because you can lose everything.At the same time, how much will Bitkoin cost at the end of 2018, it is unknown, because all bold forecasts have come true. But one should not think that cryptography is a costly investment.
Therefore, the choice is up to you as always.
Every investment requires analysis, preparation and certain degree of experience as a general rule.
If you apply those to traditional investments, they're safer since the model is treaded ground, but in some it can take a lot of time for you to receive the desired ROI and, whether is private investment or stock trading, you need to have a large capital to participate.
The advantage of investing in cryptocurrencies is that a ROI can be achieved in a shorter time, depending on the stability of the currency of course. Although it fluctuates a lot, it's a fast-moving market in which you can make a profit, and you don't need high capital entry level, allowing you to invest what you can and when you can. Additionally, if you approach it as a long-time investment, on some cryptos it can be even safer that way. Every day the number of people using and trusting cryptos is increasing, you could translate that to a high probability of normalization and day to day adoption, but that doesn't mean that it'll remain as profitable or it will surmount on its own its inherent problems.
Having an asset that can effectively merge the best characteristics of traditional investment, such as being backed by real world projects and tangible productivity, with the benefits and the liquidity offered by blockchain technology would certainly be an ideal and surefire option.
