CNBC ^ | 2/14/2022 | Greg Iacurci

Sixty-eight percent of “fund selectors” don’t think individuals should have access to cryptocurrency, according to a Natixis Investment Managers survey. Fund selectors oversee the investments available to customers at brokerage houses, financial advisory shops, private banks and other firms.

I have a small position in Ethereum just to watch how and when it moves compared to everything else.

There’s more than a little whiff of Ponzi in all of crypto.

Clark Howard says unless you can stand to lose everything you have in crypto stay away.....that’s all I needed to hear.

Having said that, there’s some people who really believe it’s the future.

Clicking the link does not show that title. Not sure if they changed it after the user posted or not.

Cryptocurrency is not an investment.

It’s a speculation.

And generally speaking, buying into a speculation after years of rapid growth is exactly wrong.

I’ve seen claims that Bitcoin is going to see 2000% growth.

I don’t see that happening unless we see significant economic collapse and hyperinflation.

And that may be the crux. Crypto may make sense as an inflation hedge.

“So you basically agree these “fund selectors”?”

No, I have no opinion on their opinion, it’s too likely to be tainted by the fact they want to move as much money out of their clients’ pockets and into their pockets as possible (that’s their job, after all).

I’m curious to hear what crypto investors think about crypto so I posted this for them to see and comment on.

Story title is about as clear as what crypto is all about.

Corporations are signaling that Biden and his socio-fascists will control and destroy crypto currency.

You don’t understand it if that’s what you think. Go back and learn.

I think the article says 68% of investment executives think people SHOULDN’T have access to cryptocurrency.

Then deeper in the article it talks about fiduciary responsibility of investment professionals. In this case cryptocurrencies are not transparent enough to recommend.

It’s not clear if the majority say it should be illegal to invest in cryptocurrency or that financial professionals should not be advising people on investing in them.

The article should (but doesn’t) state the exact question asked in the survey; for statistical accuracy this point is critical.

“What the heck are you saying?”

That I am pretty ignorant when it comes to crypto and I’m curious how crypto investors approach investing in it so here’s their chance to talk about it.

I’m just starting to learn about it.
