The founder of asset management company Aike Capital believes that the era of getting rich by investing in BTC is over, as now the first cryptocurrency is more suitable for saving funds.

Alex Krüger tweeted that investors will never get rich on investing in bitcoin, this “boat has sailed”. The only people who will profit from Bitcoin are those who provide services related to BTC.

Kruger clarified that his tweet was a social experiment. The economist wanted to observe the reaction of subscribers: do they agree with such a statement. According to the cryptanalyst, the experiment was a success: the ratio of comments and likes (50%) is beyond praise. As the analyst explained, the more you focus on the negative and make absolute statements, the more people are divided into two opposite camps.

Krueger later wrote that his statement still stands—he really believes that bitcoin is now only good for storing amassed wealth, in addition to attractive risk-adjusted returns. And also for trading and hedging the risks associated with fiat currencies. Discussing trading strategies in the crypto market, Krueger stated that the best way to increase profits is not to trade with high leverage, but to trade assets with high volatility with your own funds.

The founder of Aike Capital commented on a tweet by a user who suggested that within three to five years, the price of bitcoin could rise tenfold. According to the analyst, this forecast is too optimistic, but there is a possibility that Bitcoin will be able to grow five times in such a time. Recently, Alex Krueger stated that the cryptocurrency market has already survived the worst-case scenario and is ready for a bullish trend.
