THELOGICALINDIAN - In a contempo account with Arabian Business the CEO of a Swiss clandestine cyberbanking accumulation likened cryptocurrency advance togambling But was he beingwillfullydisingenuous or aloof defective in compassionate Here is what he got appropriate and wrong
Hmmm… acceptable cyberbanking guy spreads FUD, eh? We haven’t heard that one before. So who said what this time?
From the address as published, it seems he didn’t absolutely say much. The ‘he’ in catechism actuality the arch of Zurich-based Julius Baer Group, Bernhard Hodler. Yes, that is HODLer, as in one who HODLs, as in the atomic gamble-y anatomy of crypto (or any added blazon of) investing.
Anyway, aboriginal he makes the analogue amid blockchain and cryptocurrency. Blockchain equals good, Cryptocurrency not so much.
He thinks there is a lot of speculation, a lot of volatility. And although he believes that some currencies will accomplish it, cipher knows which, so his aggregation advises adjoin crypto advance altogether.
They will accord “access to structured products” on request, but acquaint audience that it is “a bit [like] gambling.”
Well, that seems massively altered to advance in the banal market. Because that has no speculation, no volatility, and anybody knows from the alpha which companies will succeed, right? (◔_◔)
Dictionary analogue time:
So any advance after affirmed allotment could be advised bank by the additional definition. And advance in cryptocurrencies avalanche alfresco the analogue of bank by the aboriginal definition.

There is no buying of anything, and no apprehension of return, aloof hope. More all-embracing discussions of this affair are accessible on Investopedia and this banking blog.
We about admonish that cryptocurrency is not a concise investment, is absolutely not a get affluent quick scheme. Despite all the belief of those who accept fabricated millions, there are affluence of those who accept absent out… ummm, aloof like the banal market.
I would advance to Mr. Hodler that abutting time he wants to analyze crypto-investing to gambling, he should booty greater affliction to abut the account in which cryptocurrency is altered from added advance cartage in this respect.
Right, now I’m off to analysis my bifold options positions… What? I didn’t say that you can’t action on crypto-currency, aloof that advance is not the aforementioned thing… and anyway, all of my options are on gold and baddest stocks.
Do you accede with Mr. HODLer? Is cryptocurrency added like bank or investing? Let us apperceive in the comments below.
