Cryptocurrencies As Portfolio Diversification
AS BITCOIN and cryptocurrencies gain ever more media coverage, many who never invested in crypto are asking whether cryptocurrencies could provide meaningful portfolio diversification to traditional portfolio asset allocation. To answer this, one must look both backwards and forward. Backward looking to determine past correlations and a risk-reward profile, and forward looking to understand the real risk of central bank mistakes and government debasement of fiat currencies.
