What Is the Ideal Strategy for Investing in Cryptocurrencies?
When the value of most cryptocurrencies falls, there is always a feeling that investors are suffering losses all around. For example, Autonomous Research reports that most funds that constituted cryptocurrency portfolios lost an average of 50 percent this year.

Pantera Capital's portfolio of cryptocurrency loans yielded 10,136 percent over five years.
