As a valuable commodity, сryptocurrencies have been used as a high-risk, high-reward investment alternative to the traditional investment methods, but Brickblock is looking to meld these two worlds seamlessly.
The idea of Investing in real estate and exchange traded funds, for example, is even more daunting to a beginner than figuring out the mathematical equations on the Blockchain. However, there is now a way to diversify your Bitcoin investments into these traditional ones, with the digital currency.
Diversify both ways
The news is full of stories of wealthy businesses and their top investors, joining the digital currency revolution to cash in on the astronomical rise. But these are billionaires and multi-million dollar companies with years of investing experience in the traditional assets.
Diversification can now go both ways as the common man, with his $50 Bitcoin investment, can enter the world of conventional asset investment without the same complexity or high fees usually associated with that side of investment.
The thrill and the excitement of investing in Bitcoin is that it can skyrocket, but it can also drop to scary lows, with a threat of hitting zero not an impossibility. Thus, diversifying is always a smart move and diversifying into more stable assets alongside the high-flying digital ones makes even more sense.
Pay the man
Digital currency has created a new market of investors, those who have forged their own path on a decentralized platform. Traditional investing has always been reserved for the already wealthy and carries a stigma of stuffiness to it.
Middlemen, complex institutions and exorbitant fees have done their part in scaring off the casual investor with digital currencies swooping on that market with their ease. High returns and complete individual control are attractive considerations for the casual investor.
Have your cake, and eat it too
Merging traditional investment assets with digital currencies in the way Brickblock is doing opens up a totally new world of investment. The user is protected from the volatile nature of things like Bitcoin, while also allowed full control and value, from things like real estate and exchange traded funds.
Brickblock is tying these two worlds together by allowing digital investors to diversify into real estate funds (REFs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), passive coin-traded funds (CTF) and active coin managed funds (CMFs) through a streamlined process, and with significantly lower costs than traditional investing.
Therefore, anyone with their little bit of Bitcoin and other cryptos can hedge the digital currency against these real assets without having to transfer funds into fiat currency. Direct, real world investment with crypto currencies instead of dollars.
Traditionally for the traditionalists
Blockchain technology and digital currencies are disrupting the traditional sectors in a lot of areas, from car passports to transporting fish and even major sectors like banking.
Issues in investing, both with cryptocurrency and traditional assets, has been solved by Brickblock as they address the volatility of Bitcoin investments, counterparty risk, as well as high costs and complexity in conventional stock trading, and global trading restrictions.
A whole new world of investment
Opening the door to stable real world assets, cryptocurrency investors can diversify to assets that will hold constant over long periods of time. And they can do this with their digital currency, with no complicated or expensive middle-man.
Furthermore, the entire world of traditional asset investment is now open as there is no restriction on trading with Bitcoin across the globe. Real estate assets may well be better priced and highly sought after across the globe, but they are now as available as if they were down the street.
One for all and all for one
The idea of making available, simplifying and cheapening, traditional real world assets really makes that once elite and closed off part of financial planning freely available.
Brickblock is an inclusive platform that is allowing anyone to reap the rewards of traditional investments alongside digital investments. Casual investors, as well as broker-dealers and fund managers, can meet on the Ethereum network in a trustless environment that secures everyone's best interests.
