Did you know that the term cryptocurrency was first used in 1998? In fact, the origins of cryptocurrencies can be traced even further before 1998 – In the 1980s, there existed technology that allowed people to transfer money anonymously.
From then on, cryptocurrencies have experienced an increase in popularity at an exponential growth rate. From the rise of bitcoin to the introduction of numerous new coins, investors have shown a lot of interest in cryptocurrencies.
That being said, many deem cryptocurrencies as a volatile form of investment. The MAS’s (Monetary Authority of Singapore) new crypto marketing guidelines reflect such sentiments. Just back in January of 2022, the MAS introduced new guidelines that restrict the marketing or advertising of cryptocurrency services.
In light of the volatility of investing in crypto? Should we still consider cryptocurrencies as a potential investment? Well, there is no straightforward answer. However, before making your decision, it is always good to research cryptocurrencies to understand their related risks. We have thus chosen 5 crypto influencers for you to check out!
