Is Crypto a Long-Term Investment?

…and I wonder if crypto is a smart long-term investment!? Not just a gamble. After spending time in the crypto sphere, you get used to a volatile market and unpredictability with a potential dream of a quick buck. But what has turned so many people into believing crypto is the ultimate long-term investment? I would argue that the masses are following in the footsteps of where big-time money is going.

Naturally, any long-term investment needs to be in assets that can revolutionize industries and shape the future. Enter blockchain technology that is transforming society, business, and finance.

One fund that commits to long-term investments is Cyber Capital, headed by Santosh Naidoo. Naidoo believes that blockchain technology is going to revolutionize multiple industries, and cryptocurrencies will play a crucial role in keeping the ecosystems alive. The belief in the transformative power of blockchain technology drives Cyber Capital’s commitment to a long-term investment strategy, as they recognize the significant impact that cryptocurrencies will have in shaping the future.

Similarly, Peter Habermacher, co-founder of Aaro Capital in London, also affirms their firm’s focus on crypto-assets’s immense transformative potential and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). He emphasizes the unprecedented value creation that will naturally follow the widescale adoption of these technologies.

The message from asset managers is clear: big investors in the crypto world focus on long-term horizons.
