Synopsis
Edul Patel highlighted that Bitcoin’s volatility is comparable to Gold and S&P 500, making it a suitable long-term investment. He emphasized the need for research, diversification, and compliance with regulations for successful crypto investments.
At the Traders Conclave 2024 in Bengaluru, Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, addressed a gathering of traders and financial experts, challenging the common perception of Bitcoin’s volatility. He highlighted that Bitcoin’s risk-to-reward ratio is similar to that of Gold and S&P 500, making it an attractive long-term asset for investors.
“Bitcoin is not as volatile as people think. Its volatility has been decreasing steadily with the rise of institutional and retail adoption,” Patel stated. He noted that while traditional indices like NIFTY 50 have outperformed Bitcoin in terms of the Sharpe ratio (a measure of risk-adjusted returns) over the same period, Bitcoin remains a valuable addition to long-term investment portfolios.
Patel further emphasized that successful crypto investments, like any other financial venture, require thorough research and a well-thought-out approach. He recommended using Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)-compliant exchanges and encouraged portfolio diversification to manage risk effectively. He also cautioned against falling for speculative “get-rich-quick” schemes, which can lead to financial losses.
