About the event, Dinis Guarda said:
“Crypto investing is becoming widely used by investors worldwide and is an area which is successfully replacing conventional investment instruments and somehow implemented and time-tested on equity, FX and CFD markets. With increasing transactions value and growing popularity of cryptocurrencies – it’s a perfect time to see what and where cryptocurrencies will go and how peer-to-peer investing and asset management solutions can be created into the blockchain world.”
This event comes at an important moment, as this year as seen the total market cap of cryptocurrencies raise from just $30B to well over $500B. Many reports suggest that only 1-2% of investors have moved into crypto markets so far, for reasons such as lack of knowledge, lack of awareness, security and volatility. So there is still space for wider growth!
All speakers are authors, traders, crypto influencers and founders of platforms, crypto funds, algo trading. The masterclass will address the present challenges with crypto, bitcoin, legal and compliance, how to do better investments and how new crypto platforms are emerging, and creating a new ecosystem at an astonishing velocity.
That is the case of Covesting.io. Covesting is a platform that can help investors and traders to learn, improve and manage their portfolio of investment and trading.
The Covesting platform, helps investors and cryptocurrency traders to find each other and allows its users to automatically copy the trades made by the successful cryptocurrency traders and profit together. Basically, the plan at Covesting.io seems to be to take the popular technique of copy / social trading and “p2p asset management” from the FX trading world, and adapt it to digital currencies. Their plan is to allow ordinary investors, who have yet to enter the cryptocurrency markets, to copy the trades of some of the best cryptocurrency traders from across the globe. The project is guided by former investment bankers from Saxo Bank, JPMorgan, Citibank, Zurich Insurance and several other large investment firms.
