Here’s What Investors Need To Know About Cryptocurrency

Last Saturday, Berkshire Hathaway’s Vice Chairman Charlie Munger told attendees at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha that “people who are professional traders that go into trading cryptocurrencies, it’s just disgusting.” According to Nobel prizewinning economist Robert Shiller, “We are over-emphasizing bitcoin.” And JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Eric Kovalak, a managing partner for Vellum Capital, a hedge fund management firm specializing in crypto assets, says, “People are trying to translate the value of cryptocurrencies into a traditional model where they’d use something like P/E.”

Going Mainstream: “Using Blockchain Without Knowing It”

  • Monitor the consumer acceptance rate over time.
  • Determine if the company behind the coin is solving a particular business issue. With more than 2,500 cryptocurrencies and growing, many simply emulate what an existing currency is already doing.
