Giving here my opinion on why investing in platforms is better than investing in currencies.
Look at what happened with Ethereum, it went from a 8-10$ to over 400$ in less than 6 months, why did this happen?
It is a platform designed to have lots and lots of projects built upon it, there will always be scarcity and price increase as long as none of these projects or Ethereum themselves ruin it.
People ask, is it a good time to buy Ethereum? Long-term, it is. Short-term, who cares?
Most people are in this for the long run, trading is stressful, it is riskier by a long-shot if you dont know what you are doing.
Ethereum might drop, but if you believe in it, do you really think it wont be worth more than 35B$ in 10 years?
The same applies to other platforms, whether it is Stratis, Lisk, Ark, ETC, UBIQ or any other.
There is plenty of space for a bunch of platforms in the future, just give it time.
Compare any ICO going on on the Ethereum blockchain, almost none has had better ROI than Ethereum itself.
My say is, invest more in platforms like those I mentioned other than investing in currencies or assets.
There are so many currencies out there competing for (IMO) 3-5 places in the future, I dont think we will need more than that number of currencies.
As for platforms, they can host any type of business and project, they have more growth ahead, their future is greater.
i might be writing this with a wrong opinion, little arguments and fundaments, so I would like to hear your opinions about this topic.
