Investors, even the savvy ones, believe in the dismal science of economists analyses. More often than not, investors gave the analyses way more credibility than deserved.

Investors' Perceptions of the Analyses VS Reality
In search of the 'headwind' of the market, investors look to analyses and reports released by 'spot-on' economists, particularly those from the big houses. But just how spot-on are they?
... Perhaps, not so.
Given that the analyses are from taken from reliable sources, but the outcome of the analyses are often 'distorted'.
Why?
By handpicking data, economists have the ability to manipulate the 'pre-determined' outcome. And once the analyses are released to the public, the market-takers will chase after the direction that the market is heading (or has already headed).
Hence, the primal believe that some economists are often right about the market direction... Is not quite right.
Cryptocurrencies to Bring Decency Back to The Market
The mass investors who jumped into the market- after the market has already moved in favor of 'pre-determined' direction- are generally the ones who gets burned.

The lack of decency in the conventional investment markets due to purposeful distortions of information usually only benefits the big players.
Nonetheless, it is still possible for mass investors to make money... And that's in the crypto-market. Where no one economist can sway the market to move in a given direction.
There Are Quite A Few Reasons That Makes Crypto-Arbitrage Potentially Profitable
And one of them being: Cryptocurrencies are largely dependent on demand and supply- where these demand and supply are often due to mid to long term changes in conventional financial policies. Think India's demonetisation etc...
And because demand and supply vary across regions, buy and sell cryptocurrencies from different platforms can turn out lucrative.
Cryptocurrency Arbitrage Trading
In conventional investment markets, the arbitrage opportunities are often very short-lived. In fact, they are like fireflies and investors may already miss the boat when the arbitrages opportunities surfaced.
On the other hand, cryptocurrency market- which uses decentralised exchanges- can have very substantial arbitrage to profit from between different exchanges...
I.e. Just recently, BitX (Nigeria's exchange) sold bitcoin at a $500 premium as compared to the general average selling price of bitcoin... And I mean... $500 more for the same kind of bitcoin that you and I have.

It is not an everyday thing but a hundred or two isn't uncommon these days.

Knowing that no one pleases everyone and there is a flip side to every coin, including Bitcoin. Whether you agree, agree to disagree, or the opposite, do not just take my words for it, be sure to look it up.
