Understanding Crypto Fundamentals
About This Book
For much of crypto's first ten years, most investors remained unconvinced. Thomas Jeegers was one of them. He examined digital money on several occasions and passed on each one, because, like many patient investors, he was searching for fundamentals and assumed crypto had none. This book explains how and why he changed his mind, and argues that readers should reconsider too. In his account, recent developments have moved cryptoassets beyond speculation into a distinct asset class with its own fundamentals and genuine economic value. He expects this shift to reshape finance and investing, and suggests it could mark a fourth industrial revolution in the way steam power, electricity and the internet marked the earlier ones. He also contends that, even after adjusting for risk, cryptoassets were the strongest financial investment of the past decade and may repeat that performance in the decade ahead, despite objections from defenders of the traditional financial system. Whatever one thinks of them, he maintains, they deserve attention. The book is written for anyone considering cryptoassets as a long-term investment. It addresses the central questions such an investor is likely to ask and offers a detailed look at managing the risks particular to this asset class, both financial and non-financial. It also supplies practical tools for investing successfully in it. By the end, readers should have a fresh view of cryptoassets and a clearer sense of how they might benefit from them. The author, Thomas Jeegers, is a CFA Charterholder and a Financial Risk Manager (FRM). He holds an MBA from INSEAD and has completed several blockchain certifications from institutions including INSEAD and Oxford University. He has spent ten years working in finance and frequently speaks about blockchain and cryptoassets at industry events.
