Why the FED rates hike is an opportunity to buy Digibyte (DGB), Bitcoin (BTC) & Dash coin (Dash)
Looking at the trends in the last couple of years, there is a good chance that people will look more towards cryptocurrencies. When Zimbabwe was going through hyperinflation, the demand for Bitcoin rose sharply in that country. At some point in 2017, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at upwards of $25000 in this country. Similar scenarios have played out in other countries as well. Over the last couple of months, the Venezuelan currency has lost all its value with inflation hitting 1,000,000%.
This has been followed by an increased uptake of cryptos in this country. The cryptos that have been most favored by Venezuelans are Dash coin (Dash), Digibyte (DGB) and Bitcoin (BTC). The first two are favored for their efficiency in value transfer, while BTC acts more as a store of value for people looking to safeguard whatever wealth they have left. These are also the cryptos that saw an increase in volumes when the Turkish currency showed signs of weakness about a month ago. This trend goes to show that in case more economies in the developing world begin to show signs of weakness, there could be an upsurge in the demand of these three cryptos.
The rise is these three cryptos is not just a fluke. They have what it takes to be a fall back for citizens of a falling economy. Starting with Digibyte (DGB), this crypto is one of the most decentralized. It is also permission-less and cannot be censored. This means that anyone, anywhere in the world can buy and spend Digibyte (DGB) without possible restrictions from any entity. It is also quite practical as a currency. That’s because it is fast, has low transaction fees and very secure.
On its part, Dash coin (Dash) is pretty much a perfect fiat replacement. That’s because it is fast, low fee and best of all is private. Dash coin (Dash) also has the infrastructure to allow for its use anywhere in the world. This makes it one of the coins that have a realistic chance of adoption in any economy where fiat is shaky. Its heavy trading volumes in Venezuela serve as a testament to that.
Lastly, Bitcoin (BTC) is perfect as a store of value. Though it is not very efficient as a currency, it has proven itself in terms of holding value, even with its wild fluctuations in the market. In a situation where a currency is failing and people are afraid of losing their wealth, Bitcoin will continue to be a good alternative, and this will lead to a major surge in the price of Bitcoin in most emerging economies.
