According to CoinDesk, although Bitcoin has risen about 50% this year and about 135% in the past year, the potential economic impact of cryptocurrencies still has a lot of room to develop, judging by the transformative nature of blockchain technology and its relatively small current use cases. Investors focus only on Bitcoin's current price appreciation and its potential economic impact, but ignore the fundamental driver of cryptocurrency's value proposition to the global economy: blockchain technology. The use cases of blockchain far exceed any single asset and have the potential to improve efficiency in a variety of industries. Industries and assets such as financial services, entertainment and gaming, information technology infrastructure, fixed income, and real estate have the potential to improve efficiency through blockchain. New cryptocurrency investors should ask themselves, "Do I believe in the transformative nature of blockchain technology?" Investing in digital assets should represent a belief in the profound value proposition of blockchain technology, from the various industries that make up the macroeconomy to transactions that encompass everyday markets and human experience. A thoughtful multi-asset approach to portfolio construction and ongoing management is critical to ensuring that cryptocurrency investors capture the full value proposition of blockchain innovation.
