7 reasons why you should not invest in bitcoins, cryptocurrencies
Synopsis
Investors’ honeymoon with cryptocurrencies seems to be ending. After rallying significantly since the beginning of 2017, prices have now started crashing.

Content: Here’s why. 1. Extreme volatility
Investing in cryptocurrencies involves very high risk, as prices have been extremely volatile. Many experts are sceptical about bitcoin as an investment primarily because there is nothing for them to analyse. Vivek Belgavi, Partner and Fintech Leader, PwC says, “There isn’t enough of an ecosystem surrounding bitcoins to allow fundamental analysts to study it as an investment. People are therefore investing with imperfect information and joining the herd of speculators.” Since these cryptocurrency prices are not regulated, as more people enter the market lured by the high prices, the prices climb ever higher. This might lead to formation of a bubble that will eventually burst and cause widespread losses. 2. Neither commodity, nor currency
