One of the biggest reasons is that the information is all there transparently, so there is no such thing as a free lunch. Remember, all the information about companies is publicly available and there are people whose job it is to look at this information and weight the pros and cons of all that information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prendiamo ad esempio la tecnologia.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Negli anni '90 era vero che gli smanettoni dell'informatica che avevano previsto correttamente il futuro avrebbero potuto fare un sacco di soldi. Sicuramente i primi investitori di Facebook o Amazon lo hanno fatto.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Tuttavia, sarebbe stata una follia investire una percentuale significativa del proprio patrimonio in Amazon nel 1995. Un investitore razionale pu\u00f2 prendere decisioni solo in base alle informazioni che ha a disposizione in quel momento.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Predicting the future is almost impossible and those who get it right once, probably won\u2019t next time. This is something cryptocurrency advocates should know too well, considering many believed in hyperinflation and a depression as bad as the Great Depression 5-10 years ago.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy-512x512.png\" alt=\"stock picking\" class=\"wp-image-69085\" style=\"width:236px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy-512x512.png 512w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy-81x81.png 81w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_amazon-logo-0-Copy.png 825w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many unknown unknowns and know unknowns for all companies, and especially start-ups.

This means, that even if the market increases in the future, many people in the market are engaging in something akin to stock picking. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_a_photo_of_stack_of_cryptocurrency_and_big_screen__314b749f-18e6-4c16-9729-5e4bc3ca3774-512x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69084\" style=\"width:374px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_a_photo_of_stack_of_cryptocurrency_and_big_screen__314b749f-18e6-4c16-9729-5e4bc3ca3774-512x512.png 512w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_a_photo_of_stack_of_cryptocurrency_and_big_screen__314b749f-18e6-4c16-9729-5e4bc3ca3774-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_a_photo_of_stack_of_cryptocurrency_and_big_screen__314b749f-18e6-4c16-9729-5e4bc3ca3774-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_a_photo_of_stack_of_cryptocurrency_and_big_screen__314b749f-18e6-4c16-9729-5e4bc3ca3774-81x81.png 81w, https:\/\/adamfayed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/57_a_photo_of_stack_of_cryptocurrency_and_big_screen__314b749f-18e6-4c16-9729-5e4bc3ca3774.png 573w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say somebody owns one coin, and that coin is implicated a political scandal after a dictator stashes and it is subsequently outlawed across numerous countries, then the price will go down.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Not to mention, let us imagine for a second the coins become a victim of their own success, they do become a threat to the state\u2019s ability to raise revenue, and therefore becomes a libertarian\u2019s dream.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>State regulation will hammer the price.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>I have heard some people say the ridiculous phrase that `regulation can\u2019t affect the price`.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>That is silly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Let\u2019s give an extreme example now.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Let\u2019s say in 2019 there is a terrorist attack funded by some of the coins, as terrorists use it to fund themselves.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>If there is a popular backlash and the coins are banned globally or even just in the OECD, the price could go close to $0.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Every time a new regulation is announced, the price goes down. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;It could be made an illegal offence to own or trade any coin tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, in an extreme event.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of bitcoin and other coins may skyrocket, but that doesn\u2019t mean that an investor is irrational to say no to it in 2018. &nbsp;It is pure speculation and at best should represent 5% of a portfolio if somebody can\u2019t resist the temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Siete afflitti dall'indecisione finanziaria?
