Instead of trying to make sense of the volatility of the crypto markets you might be better off figuring out how you can protect your gains, or prevent future losses. don’t discourage yourself trying to predict the future, instead figure out how you can find safety. The long-term outlook is good, but there is no telling what will happen next.

For instance, today it was announced that Intercontinental Exchange, the leading operator of global exchanges plans to create a digital asset ecosystem called Bakkt. and the sole purpose is to leverage Microsoft cloud solutions and create an ecosystem for digital assets. This is the biggest news to hit cryptocurrency and the market still dropped a few billion today.

Hedging your investment

If you can hold for the long term that’s great, and you should; however, if you want to protect your gains consider taking some off the table and hedging yourself. Find an investment that isn’t correlated with the markets at all, something that will withstand the volatility of wall street and cryptocurrency. This ideal asset wouldn’t fluctuate in value based on recent news, or based on quarterly earnings reports, this asset that you should consider is real estate.

Tokenization of real estate

Recent advancement in cryptocurrency technology provides the opportunity for real estate tokenization through ERC-20 compliant security tokens. With security tokens tied to physical assets you won’t have to worry about what happens in the crypto markets because private real estate investments aren’t influenced by either the stock markets or the crypto markets. Real estate isn’t a perceived value, it isn’t a maybe, it’s something that each of us depends on for everything we do. And it’s all in the blockchain.

Aside from the fact that U.S. real estate can now be tokenized and that real estate as an asset is steadier than the stock market or any of the exchanges, it provides two essential components that should make up your retirement plan.

Passive income Capital appreciation

Passive income

Passive income is the secret wealth generator that the rich have enjoyed for ages. Its income earned that doesn’t require effort on your part. True passive income is earning money without investing time, it’s hiring capital to work for you 24-hours per day 7-days per week without rest.

Having a proper retirement demands that your money work for you, not the other way around. You should not simply trade time for money, because time is finite and limited, you only have 24-hours in a day and part of that needs to be rest. Trading time for money is a bad strategy for generating wealth, you need to leverage the velocity of money in order to not have to worry about money ever again.

Capital appreciation

Capital appreciation is when your asset becomes more valuable over time. If you purchase real estate in a hot market with job growth you are guaranteed to take advantage of capital appreciation, but when you invest in real estate you don’t want to simply cross your fingers and hope that your property will rise in value with average appreciation, you want to buy undervalued properties that can create instant appreciation or equity after the right modifications.
