Is Cryptocurrency a Bad Investment?
Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile. They have little practical use beyond speculation and crime, often get lost or stolen, and lack the real-world cash flows that underpin the values of stocks and bonds. It should thus go without saying that they have no place in a retirement savings plan.
Unfortunately, it appears to require saying. Earlier this year, Fidelity Investments, among the country’s largest 401(k) provider, said it would soon let participants invest as much as 20% in Bitcoin, if employers choose the option. They say Americans deserve more choice while citing surveys showing that millennials, in particular, tend to see crypto as a desirable investment.
Also, they say, digital assets can diversify a given portfolio because their price fluctuations aren’t synced with other markets. Proper financial education, they insist, can help people understand the risks. Crypto has a limited track record, and Bitcoin has lately plunged even more than other markets, down more than 50% from its November 2021 peak. Not to mention technical difficulties, such as obtaining reliable pricing and ensuring safe custody in a largely unregulated realm.
Of course, people should be free to invest their money as they please, outside their tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Some day, crypto may prove to be something more than a purely speculative instrument. However, it’s nowhere near that now.
How to File Cryptocurrency-related Tax in India?
In India there is a 30% Tax on Profit from CryptoCurrency. India’s crypto market grew 641% from 2020 to 2021, turning India into one of the fastest growing cryptocurrency markets.

We built CoinTracker to solve this problem seamlessly and are excited to deliver our offering in India,” Jon Lerner, CEO of CoinTracker said.
The crypto startup plans to rapidly expand its integrations and partnerships with all the popular exchanges and tax products used in India.
Reasons Why Stablecoins May No Longer Exist
Investors are losing faith in stablecoins. The cryptocurrency market was in turmoil, by the collapse of Luna and the UST stablecoin, both tied to the Terra blockchain a week ago. Over $17 billion in crypto value was wiped out, and the collapse has raised questions about stablecoins in general.
The crash has caught the eye of politicians and regulators. Because of this severe fall and turmoil caused by the stable coin. Investors are losing faith in the stablecoin. According to Elon Musk, stable coins can be replaced by ETH/BTC pairs in the future. This idea will completely replace the concept of stable coins and it may make cryptocurrencies more stable.
