JP Morgan on the future of cryptos

Cryptocurrency may be a new asset class that is quite volatile when compared to other investment vehicles available in the market. But, it is an investment vehicle that is a promising good hedge against uncertain macro-economic events. Several big Wall Street names have already invested in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoins, while other institutional investors are still weighing their options. Here is what a survey conducted by JP Morgan revealed.

A recent study carried out by JP Morgan signaled that more institutional investors may be interested to invest in cryptocurrency. Investment Bank JP Morgan surveyed 3400 investors who were representing 1500 institutions and they discovered that 11% of respondents worked at firms that were investing in cryptos, while 89% did not. However, in the future, twice as many institutions were likely to invest in cryptos as the ones who have already had. This reveals that institutional money will continue to flow into cryptos, making it an investment vehicle to cautiously look out for.

According to JP Morgan’s Strategist Amy Ho and Joyce Chang, “In a multi-asset portfolio, investors are likely to add 1% of their allocation to cryptocurrency in order to achieve any efficient gain in their risk-adjusted investment portfolio,”

Although Bitcoins and Altcoins have had a rocky week, we have to understand that Bitcoin prices have alone surged five-fold. Even former Federal Reserve Economists Roberto Perli and Benson Durham have said that cryptocurrency may provide a good hedge against macro-economic risks. Their calculations have shown that the volatility of equity portfolios can be reduced by adding more amount of digital assets.

If you want to invest in cryptos that start by investing a small amount of your savings into emerging altcoins like XcelToken Plus. Do not risk the money that you cannot afford to lose and HODL! Think of people who invested few cents in Bitcoin only to become millionaires 7 years later. That is the return of investing in cryptos. XcelToken Plus is an ERC-20 Token built on an Ethereum Platform. The token provides you with great use cases like booking hotels and flights in a decentralized travel platform. You can trade XcelToken Plus in leading crypto exchanges like Livecoin, LAToken, and XcelToken Exchange.


How will the ATO know whose wallet belongs to who?

I am 19 and never had to do taxes until this financial year, so I'm a bit confused.

How will the ATO know what transaction is considered a "gift"? Say I bought 1 bitcoin on exchange A and transfer 0.5 to wallet B, which I own. The other 0.5 is transferred to wallet C, which is owned by my friend. How will the ATO know that I own wallet B but not wallet C?

I'm asking because I understand transferring from an exchange to your own wallet is not a taxable event, whereas transferring from an exchange to someone else's wallet (gifting) is a taxable event, however don't understand how the ATO will know whether a transaction is simply transfer to hard wallet or a gift.

Thanks!

edit: will I have to file a tax report and this is how they will know? i know that websites like koinly track your portfolio across different wallets whether that be exchanges, hard wallets etc.

Old Man Yells at NFTs after abandoning his yelling efforts at Bitcoin and crypto in general.

A well-known US economist Nouriel Roubini has had his fair share of criticizing BTC in the past. He successfully predicted the 2008 bubble but we all know that want so hard to do if you were even mildly informed about the economy and the events surrounding it.

In 2018 he constantly claimed that Bitcoin is a bubble while also telling the congress that Bitcoin is the "mother of all scams". The validity of his points was questionable, to say the least because he obviously didn't even have the information required to debate an abstract and completely new concept. The shortest "debunking" I found is this.

Now, our celebrated economist seems to be having trouble wrapping his head around NFTs and the tokenized economy in general. Again, he is making claims while also being half-informed on the subject. It is a reoccurring theme with old people that think they know shit even though they are out of the loop for more than a decade.

The point of this post isn't to criticize economists or old people, it's just a reminder that you should make up your mind based on your own decisions. The people that should be on top of things aren't spending enough time on research and most of the time they are yelling SCAM, it ends up being complete bull shit.
