5 reasons you should not invest in bitcoins or any cryptocurrencies

-

The price of Bitcoin and other digital currencies had surged more than five times in 2017, thus making it hard to resist putting money into it. But, there are reasons you should not and never consider joining the cryptocurrency bandwagon. 

Most people think digital currency(Bitcoin) is the future,that how we taught peer to peer donations and ponzi scheme(mmm,ultimate cycler,  etc) were the future.i expected that by no serious minded entreprenuers will stop looking for an easy way out,and plan properly.

To many enthusiasts of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, not investing in it is a bad decision. As good as this sounds, it is rather not backed up by an investment or economic principles and model. All is based on the impulse and widespread information that it is a potent investment that offers high returns within a short period of time.
Something like Ponzi Scheme and all network-based businesses like GLND, Helping hands international and others in that category. Avoiding a repeat of MMM episode in Nigeria is necessary.
Looking at the situation, here are 5 reasons you should not consider investing your money in Bitcoin.

1.    It is neither a commodity nor currency

The first big issue about the Bitcoin is the lack of clarity about its origin. Its proponents claimed Bitcoin mined through the use of complex mathematical formulae, but they are yet to categorise it as either a currency or a commodity. Thus, putting your money it means you are investing in something not existing (not a currency, commodity or financial asset).
Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are neither precious metal not fiat money. To businesses and people, Bitcoins are just formula, not a tangible asset.

2.    Extreme volatility

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are highly unstable, and very risky. Hence the reason for its extreme volatile price.
Most importantly, there is nothing primary reason to account for its price increase except a rise in demand. Thus, turning into a bubble that will eventually burst and cause many financial losses like MMM and other Ponzi schemes.

3.    It is unregulated space/asset

Bitcoin is unlike other investment or financial assets, it is unregulated by the government, investment agency or banks. In case of market collapse, there is no agency that can be contacted to get a refund or compensation.
The whole transaction system is based on “get as much as possible if you are lucky, but when the system gets ripped off it is impossible to get the money back."

4.    It is model around Ponzi Scheme

Trading in cryptocurrencies comes along with a high propensity of a risk of fraud. Aside from the misinformation on the whole process, the system is based on pyramid system. The early you get in, the better financially and risk wise.
More so, the campaign of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in Africa is being sponsored by Ponzi scheme operators.

5.    Issue of legality

Legality of use of digital currencies to trade is one thing that cannot be defended in court. Thus, any litigation from transaction premised on it is a null and void.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) have issued many public releases to this effect.

Will 2018 be the year you finally create a profitable online business? You’ve thought about it year after year. You’ve gone over countless strategies in your head, and imagined what life would be like if you could quit your job and generate money online. You could travel the world with ease, create a comfortable lifestyle for yourself and your family, and achieve financial freedom. You could finally escape the constraints of the 9-5 lifestyle, and own your time completely. But then, what happens? Usually, you spend some time considering ideas, but ultimately resort back to your comfort zone… The steady income of your secure job, the ease of having somebody else tell you what to do everyday (instead of trying to figure it out from scratch), and the consistent schedule. You tell yourself, “You know what? This year is a little too crazy. I’ll start that online business next year!” But “next year” never comes. Well, I’m here to tell you that 2018 is the year you should s...

  At some point in your academic career, you have received a GPA – or a grade point average… In elementary and middle school, it was likely just a letter grade such as a “B”, but then when you reached high school and college it was an actual numerical GPA – such as a 3.25 or that 4.0 everybody so desperately wants to be able to claim. And, the reason that everybody wants that 4.0 is because it represents the overall analysis of your academic career. It represents all those presentations you gave, those quizzes you took, and those finals you thought you might never get through… Well, just like there is an analysis of your academic career done in school, there has to be an analysis done for your business plan as well.
