How to invest in blockchain over and above Bitcoins and cryptocoins 

As we have already mentioned, the use of blockchain currently goes far beyond cryptocoins and has gained prominence in investment from several other segments. 


Shares in blockchain companies 

As blockchain has the potential to become a widely used and disruptive technology among the most different segments, one form of investment in this technology is the purchase of shares of large companies working with this technology. 


If blockchain becomes a successful product within this company's portfolio, the investor can also benefit financially from the results achieved. But remember that this type of stock investment requires time and patience for the return. 


Crowdfunding 

This is the model for collaborative funding initiatives. This tool has been used to leverage the most different types of projects and has made it possible to implement many ideas without the need for bank loans.


This alternative allows entrepreneurs or creators of an idea to use a loan or collective financing online in an environment where the network users themselves validate and finance the projects. Ideally, the Internet should be used to disseminate all the development details of the project and collect the necessary value to implement it. 




ICO 

It is the abbreviation for Initial Coin Offering. It is similar to a takeover bid, when a company makes an offer to purchase another company. It means that someone offers investors some units of a new cryptocurrency. They are generally used for the financing and development of a new cryptocurrency.


Blockchain solutions companies 

We provide you three examples of promising scenarios for blockchain in different markets that can be developed by companies:  


Financial institutions  

They can use the blockchain to create intrusion-proof systems that protect both user and company data against cyber-attacks.  


Industry

The transparency of the blockchain in supply chains, which not only identifies forgeries, but also provides information on the steps of the process globally, can be taken advantage of. 


Mobile

Use the blockchain in mobile applications for transactions such as financial securities, loyalty and scoring programs, online shopping, among others. Blockchain guarantees transparency, security and reliability in all these transactions.
