The firm’s interest, though, could boost bitcoin’s standing among investors and fuel the&nbsp;debate around digital currencies, which were initially viewed as havens for illicit activity but are pushing further into the mainstream investment world.China in recent weeks has banned exchanges that trade bitcoin, fearing the virtual currency could provide an avenue for capital flight.&nbsp; <a href=\"http://quotes.wsj.com/JPM\">J.P. Morgan Chase</a> &amp; Co. Chief Executive James Dimon, whose bank is the largest dealer in global currencies, last month <a href=\"https://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2017/09/12/jamie-dimon-says-bitcoin-is-a-fraud-that-will-blow-up/\">called bitcoin a “fraud”</a> and said he would fire any employee who traded it.Yet <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-exchange-giant-bitflyer-expected-to-get-key-license-in-japan-1506664801\">Japan’s government has embraced bitcoin</a>, creating regulations to legitimize its trading. India and Sweden have mused about creating their own virtual currencies, and the U.S. Federal Reserve <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/fed-expected-to-outline-approach-to-monitoring-fintech-1480935601\">has studied bitcoin and the technology</a> underpinning it.</h3>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>“In response to client interest in digital currencies we are exploring how best to serve them in this space,” a Goldman spokeswoman said.Bitcoin is a digital currency that runs on a decentralized network of computers, rather than a centralized ledger under the control of a central bank or government. Users can exchange value directly, without a middleman such as a bank.</p>\n<p>Big banks, including J.P. Morgan and Goldman, have dabbled in the technology behind bitcoin, known as blockchain, and opined on its potential to reshape industries. But they have been wary of venturing directly into a market whose early enthusiasts included anarchists and drug dealers.</p>\n<h3>As digital coins proliferate and draw interest from professional investors, though, they become harder for Wall Street trading desks to ignore.Bitcoin’s price has soared this year, from $969 to more than $5,000 last month <a href=\"https://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2017/09/13/red-hot-bitcoin-down-for-sixth-straight-day-looking-suddenly-bearish/\">before pulling back</a>. Ethereum, a rival, traded as high as $400 after ending 2016 at $8. In all, nearly $150 billion worth of digital currencies are in circulation.Goldman’s&nbsp;seeks to serve a growing cadre of institutional investors wagering on bitcoin. Its&nbsp;effort could&nbsp;eventually entail a team of traders and salespeople making markets in bitcoins much as they do Japanese yen or shares of <a href=\"http://quotes.wsj.com/AAPL\">Apple</a> Inc.Keeping abreast of the day-to-day cryptocurrency market could also position Goldman to capitalize on further development of this market. Digital-currency proponents envision a world where coins will be widely accepted by online retailers and companies will use the tokens for cross-border commerce.Already, cryptocurrencies are infringing on some traditional banking activities. Some startup companies that historically might have hired banks to take them public <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/forget-an-ipo-coin-offerings-are-new-road-to-startup-riches-1499425200\">are bypassing Wall Street</a> by selling digital tokens, rather than shares, to the public. <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/whats-an-initial-coin-offering-icos-explained-in-11-questions-1506936601\">Such “initial coin offerings”</a>raised $1.3 billion over the past three months without paying fees to underwriting banks.Goldman’s effort involves both its&nbsp;currency-trading division and the bank’s strategic investment group, the people said.&nbsp;That suggests the firm believes bitcoin’s future is more as a payment method rather than a store of value, like gold.Launched in 2009, bitcoin grew as a communal software project championed by cypherpunks, who embraced its technological promise, and libertarians, who cheered its independence from government influence.&nbsp;In recent years, more sophisticated exchanges have cropped up to host trading, attracting professional investors.</h3>\n<p>Some 70 hedge funds now invest in cryptocurrencies, according to Autonomous NEXT.Exchange-traded funds meant to track digital currencies have so far <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/sec-deals-bitcoin-etf-plans-another-setback-1490728784\">faced pushback from regulators</a>, but&nbsp;they could&nbsp;one day&nbsp;give a wider base of investors a way to indirectly own bitcoin and create new opportunities for savvy traders.Such interest from institutional investors has propelled the bitcoin market to a size that merits banks’ attention. About $750 million worth of bitcoin trades on exchanges every day, on par with the daily trading volume of shares of <a href=\"http://quotes.wsj.com/CAT\">Caterpillar</a> Inc., the equipment maker.Already, a handful of nonbank finance firms, such as DRW Holdings LLC’s Cumberland Mining&nbsp;and Genesis Global Trading Inc., broker bitcoin trades for institutional investors that want to buy or sell larger amounts than exchanges could handle.That is a role that banks could easily step into. Wall Street firms also offer leverage to juice trading returns, and hold assets on clients’ behalf.&nbsp;So far, though, none of the big banks has dealt directly in bitcoin.For starters, <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-bounces-around-wildly-in-record-setting-quarter-1506769201\">bitcoin is highly volatile</a>. After doubling in price between July and early September, bitcoin lost 35% of its value&nbsp;in two weeks. That exposes dealers to the risk of big, quick losses.But it also offers an opportunity for quick-footed traders to profit by anticipating price moves and facilitating panicked trading. <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/market-volatility-has-vanished-around-the-world-1497860894\">Volatility has been sorely missing</a> lately in traditional markets, leading to a <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/j-p-morgans-dimon-says-third-quarter-trading-revenue-likely-to-fall-1505241688\">slump in banks’ trading revenues</a>.Goldman, once known as the nimblest trader on Wall Street, <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/goldman-sachs-finds-itself-in-unusual-spot-last-place-in-trading-1501579804\">has struggled more than peers</a>. Revenue in its fixed-income division fell 21% from last year through June, dragged down by <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/goldman-sachs-reports-surprise-profit-increase-1500378105\">poor performance in commodities</a> and currencies.Already, some of the infrastructure for trading bitcoin is cropping up. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission this summer approved the first derivatives exchange for cryptocurrencies. LedgerX, founded by two former Goldman traders, will clear options and futures that would allow dealers to protect themselves from dramatic price swings and lock in profits.Many prominent financiers, including Mr. Dimon, believe central banks such as the Federal Reserve will move to shut down digital currencies before they go mainstream enough to rival government-backed notes.<a href=\"http://quotes.wsj.com/MS\">Morgan Stanley</a> Chief Executive James Gorman recently took a nuanced view. He said bitcoin is “obviously highly speculative, <a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/morgan-stanley-chief-says-firms-brokers-will-maintain-key-position-1506551837\">but it’s not inherently bad</a>.”</p>\n</html>",

      "body": "Summary\nBitcoin = $4,150. Annual gains to date: 600%.\nEthereum = $340. Annual gains to date: 4700%.\nWith Bitcoin surpassing all-time highs and Ethereum breaking into the mainstream media, it's time to consider the addition of cryptocurrencies to your portfolio.\nOutside of Bitcoin and Ethereum there are endless potential investments available to anyone.\nThis article highlights the next generation of portfolio management.\nWith the Dow Jones reaching all-time highs, the S&P 500 achieving substantial year over year gains, and political uncertainty roiling markets, one would think that the financial sector would have enough to preoccupy it. However, in a world where unprecedented innovation and disruption are consistently opening new avenues for profit, such a focus on traditional indicators can leave Wall Street and risk-seeking investors blind to emerging opportunity.\n\nEver since the first Bitcoin bull market of 2013, which saw the coin achieve a price of $1000 from mere cents, the cryptocurrency world has captivated tech and finance enthusiasts alike. 2017 has seen another crypto boom with the rise of Ethereum -- the decentralized smart-contract platform counterpart to Bitcoin -- along with a plethora of alt-coins with intriguing business use cases. Cryptocurrencies, using the underlying Blockchain technology, are able to harness the powers of a world-wide distributed network to practically automate any task in a low cost, efficient environment. As automation becomes the norm, the demonstrated success of cryptocurrencies, along with the creation of new coins, marks the emergence of Blockchain as a technological force that has the potential to disrupt many industries.\n\nWhile I could dedicate multiple articles to (and perhaps write a research paper on) each of these revolutionary cryptocurrencies, the purpose of this piece is to dive into the next generation of portfolio management. Long gone are the days where \"portfolio diversification\" is limited to alternative assets such as Real Estate and Commodities. Investors now have access to hundreds of different cryptocurrencies that can provide an uncorrelated hedge against traditional asset classes.\n\nWhile it is true that the value proposition behind these sky-high valuations is difficult to see at first, you could make that same argument for today's traditional asset classes. Gold, a safe haven in financial markets, is a precious metal that doesn't really enhance our daily lives yet has held high valuations throughout human history. Snap (NYSE:SNAP), a tech/social media company that currently operates at an enormous loss and seemingly provides no material value, entered the market with a $24 billion valuation. Why? Limited supply and the network effect.\n\nAdhering to the foundations of any economic theory, supply and demand drive the price of any asset. As gold is an inherently rare metal that has been deemed attractive by society, its value adjusts accordingly. Similarly, most digital assets are deflationary by nature and are strictly limited to a finite supply (total bitcoin supply is approximately 21 million, for example). The total supply for any coin is hard coded from the beginning and can only be altered in the event of a Hard Fork. As the underlying network matures and becomes applicable to our everyday lives, demand for the coin increases while the supply adjusts accordingly.\n\nJust as we have seen with the rise of social media, when a technology or product garners enough interest its byproducts increase in value. Facebook, for example, profits largely off the user data it can accumulate as a result of the enormous network it has established across the globe. This same network effect is the foundation of the cryptocurrency market with one significant difference: decentralization.\n\nWithout going into the specifics of Blockchain, the technology is built on the premise of decentralized processes that require it to have an expansive and supportive network to achieve stated goals. As the underlying network proves its worth and sees widespread adoption, the network token or coin increases in value. However, instead of one central institution profiting off this, anyone with access to the internet can partake and share the spoils while also using the network to enhance their quality of life. If crypto assets can exhibit both these qualities, while providing industry revolutionizing solutions, why should they not be valued accordingly?\n\nIn terms of building a crypto-folio, Bitcoin and Ethereum will always be heavily weighted due to their first movers' advantage and established names. However, there are some intriguing alternative currencies that provide examples of how blockchain could revolutionize various industries:\n\nSiacoin: Sia's Blockchain based cloud storage platform looks to compete with blue-chip companies such as Amazon Web Services by disrupting the enterprise cloud storage market. They provide a much cheaper and more secure network through the use of Blockchain technology. In a market where heavyweights can charge sky high prices, Sia estimates a price of approximately $2/TB. By incorporating distributed ledger technology into its platform, Sia is also able to protect the data by breaking it up into pieces and storing it on a decentralized network among multiple computers, as opposed to a centralized location that can be hacked.\nCivic: Civic tackles one of the most important problems of the 21st century: Identity Verification. As they state in their Whitepaper \"It is estimated that in 2016 alone, 15.4 million adults in the U.S. were victims of identity fraud resulting in a loss of $16 billion, while globally almost 1.1 billion identities were stolen last year.\" Imagine a world where the most personal information could be verified and sent to any institution instantaneously, yet still have the unbreakable security of the Blockchain. This is what Civic is striving to create with their identity verification services ecosystem. The Blockchain's capabilities enable Civic to facilitate identity verification between parties in a low cost, highly secure setting. No personal information is ever stored besides with its owner and thus worries of theft are greatly minimized.\nGolem: Dubbed the \"AirBnB of computing,\" Golem aims to establish a world supercomputer using distributed ledger technology. As a so-called \"ERC-20 Token,\" Golem is one of the first DApps (Distributed Apps) built on the Ethereum platform. With Golem's shared economy, a machine's unused computing power can be bought or sold in a massive network. The potential target market is vast, with uses ranging from machine learning to the medical field, as practically every profession requires computing power of some sort these days.\n\nWhile these cryptocurrencies have intriguing potential, it is important to remember that they remain, for the most part, in an early development stage. They have development road maps in place, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay on track, or that the projects will reach fruition. There is, without a doubt, an enormous risk associated with crypto assets. Cryptocurrencies are lines of code that exist solely in the electronic domain, unbacked by physical objects or any kind of institutional guarantees. They could literally vanish into thin air in the blink of an eye, or simply become worthless to those who hold them. Additionally, there are coins which are basically scams, or are just issued to follow the hype and money of a hot trend without any true value proposition.\n\nThis is where investor due diligence comes into play, similar to any stock selection strategy. From a macroeconomic level, it is quite difficult to predict the landscape in the next few months, let alone years. The rate of global adoption of Blockchain technology and regulatory risk are significant factors that could sway the pendulum one way or another. However, just like we saw with the Dotcom bubble, the technology is here to stay.\n\nAs of the publishing of this article, cryptocurrencies have a market capitalization of $150 Billion and have overcome the uncertainty of developer civil wars, the scares of million-dollar hacks, and the intense skepticism of numerous intelligent critics. A majority of the coins are currently highly correlated with the overall market leaving little room for diversification however over time the weaker projects will be weeded out. Thus a micro-economic route is the best way to go, instead analyzing specific projects.\n\nMain factors that are useful to research on include the following:\n\nBusiness Use Case\nDoes this coin propose using Blockchain to revolutionize existing technology or are they just using buzz words to cash in on a hot trend? (Civic provides one of the most outstanding use-cases in the crypto world). Reading the whitepaper allows you to gain some first-hand insight into the coin's mission and the problem they are looking to tackle. However, with the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) gold rush that has taken place recently, it has become harder to distinguish between well thought out business plans and neatly presented scams. Analyze every whitepaper with intense skepticism and don't be afraid to reach out to the developers or community with challenging questions about their coin.\nDeveloper team\nJust like a venture capitalist investment, you must attempt to analyze the team behind the product to see if they are in it for a quick profit or an actual belief in their underlying project. Pay attention to their development road maps and their progress to-date. Research the founding developers to gain some insight into their experience and past projects.\nA great source for information is forums, such as on Reddit or Slack channels, where the developers interact with the community and provide updates. Siacoin's developers are well known for their strong relationship with the community and their unrelenting belief in the project's potential.\nIf the coin has recently held an ICO or was Pre-mined, look for some insight into what they used the funding for. Excessive marketing costs and large developer holdings can be indicators of a money hungry developer team. A majority of the funds raised should be put towards development expenses and there should be an incentive-laden plan in place for dispensing any coins held by the development team.\nCoin dynamics\nMake sure you identify the total possible supply for the coin before you develop any sort of potential price targets (there is a reason Bitcoin's price is so high -- limited supply). Just like any stock, the number of coins outstanding will have a large influence on the price point.\nA key misconception is looking at the circulating supply vs the total supply. Many coins can be mined (increasing the circulating supply over time) while other coins have been pre-mined but are still held by the developers. Pre-mined or not, with a little research you can determine the total supply of coins that will ever exist for a specific token.\nTechnical analysis (TA) has become a heavy topic of interest on crypto discussion boards however it is arguably more of a self-prophecy outlook. While TA has become an integral part of Equity analysis, the Crypto market is a whole new ball game. With countless exchanges across the world it is very difficult to conduct a concise analysis of any coin. Also, as cryptocurrency trade volume is still in it's infancy, all coins are subject to manipulation by big players throwing any technical analysis out the window.\n\nConclusion\nIn this article I have touched on the various aspects involved in formulating a crypto-folio, ranging from the risks involved to the analysis required. I am not recommending that you liquidate all your equity holdings in your portfolio. This is merely a new asset class that can provide a hedge against any political or economic turmoil going on in the world. At a current total market cap of $150 billion, cryptocurrencies are still not a mainstream financial instrument within our Global Economy.\n\nIf you pinpoint the Global GDP to approximately $80 Trillion, and speculate that the crypto market will one day occupy at least 1% of that, it would be sitting at around an $800 Billion total market cap. There is clearly still room for exponential growth with an equal likelihood of total failure. However, I would argue that the opportunity to take part in a revolution that has the potential to change the course of human history is a risk worth taking.\n\nDisclosure: I am/we are long CRYPTO.\n\nI wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.\n\nEditor's Note: This article covers one or more stocks trading at less than $1 per share and/or with less than a $100 million market cap. Please be aware of the risks associated with these stocks.",
