Investor Relations: How to invest in crypto and what to buy now
Would you like to know how to get started with cryptocurrencies? Then our guide for crypto investors will help you. We explain how you can make a solid crypto investment while keeping full control over your investments. Find out what is worth investing in and which cryptocurrencies currently offer good opportunities for high capital gains.
The charts on the right show how Bitcoin (BTC) has performed against the currently very popular MSCI World ETF. In particular, you can see that the MSCI World ETF has achieved a negative result of -0.2% in the period of its “media-enhanced awareness” and thus in the period of one year. Bitcoin achieved a growth of 132% in the same period.
If we look at a longer period of five years, the MSCI World ETF also appears very lucrative with a gain of +149%. However, if the same amount had been invested in Bitcoin five years ago, an increase in value of up to 572% would have been possible.
The NORDEA 1 fund, managed by the Norwegian government, was also unable to generate such a good result in the last 12 months in direct comparison with Bitcoin.
It is therefore advisable to always view information from the media and so-called “Finfluencers” critically, as there have already been cases in which well-known companies - to put it simply - had invested in opinion-forming for their own shares. In the field of cryptocurrencies, this is usually not the case, as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are usually not dependent on a single company and are not centrally managed.
Rapid return on investment
Cryptominer usually offer a very fast return on investment (ROI). The costs for a miner are usually amortized after 6 to 12 months. This is the case, for example, with a solid investment in an Antminer KS5 Pro for Kaspa at a price of 15,500 EUR. Assuming a yield of EUR 1,350 per month, you will already be making a profit (after deducting all costs) after about 11 months.
In rare cases, there are also great investment opportunities, such as the new Bitmain AL1 miners for Alephium (more about Alephium below). Although the miner costs EUR 32,500, it generates a profit of around EUR 25,500 per month (as of 31.07.2024). In this example, you reach the profit zone after just over 1 month.
However, this simplified calculation method does not take into account any price increases, because price increases can quickly lead to even greater profits. At the same time, however, it can be assumed that in the event of large price increases, the manufacturers will also adjust the prices for the corresponding miners (upwards).
Don't forget the synergy effects within a company. For example, if you rent out a miner as a heating system to a commercial enterprise, you can reduce the amount of electricity costs by the same amount that would have been incurred for the payment of taxes and levies. This is how electricity costs can be reduced even in countries with particularly high electricity prices, while at the same time taking advantage of all the possibilities for tax deductions for wear and tear.
Effective approaches for getting started
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, USDT, Dogecoin, NFTs, ETFs and much more. The financial market is already complicated, but in the field of cryptocurrencies, there is a lot more to it. Bitcoin is the most well-known cryptocurrency with the largest market capitalization and will probably remain so for a long time to come. Ethereum is in second place in terms of market capitalization, but can no longer be created by mining, while this is still possible with the Ethereum Classic (ETC) fork. USDT and USDC are so-called stablecoins that track the value of the US dollar. Since USDT currently cannot meet the new MiCa regulations of the EU, USDC will prevail. In simple terms, NFTs can be used to link and trade works of art with the blockchain. Dogecoin, the memecoin with the dog that became famous through Elon Musk, has an active developer community and is currently ranked 10th in terms of market capitalization – so it's anything but a bad joke. ETFs that track cryptocurrencies on the stock exchange are always being discussed, but in our opinion it is better to invest in “the original” rather than a fund that buys cryptocurrencies and manages them for its shareholders for a fee.
Have you ever heard of Kaspa or Alephium?
In the previous part, we briefly explained the most well-known terms in the world of cryptocurrencies, but you probably haven't heard of Kaspa or Alephium. This is hardly surprising, as these are terms that are usually only used by miner or investor networks. Kaspa is a new cryptocurrency that, like Bitcoin, uses a proof-of-work algorithm. Special miners are needed to provide this proof of work in the network. These miners search for the next suitable block (which, among other things, contains a reference to the previous block) and the miner who is the first to find the next suitable block and send it to the network receives a reward for their computing power in the form of the respective cryptocurrency. In the Bitcoin network, this is Bitcoin and in Kaspa it is simply Kaspa. The same is true of the Alephium network. Both cryptocurrencies are promising and we already have suitable ASIC miner devices from leading manufacturers such as Bitmain or IceRiver available.
Which cryptocurrency should you buy now?
The question is not really which cryptocurrency you should buy now, but rather which cryptocurrency you should invest in now and how! You can invest in a cryptocurrency not only by simply buying the corresponding coins, but also by mining cryptocurrencies with ASIC miners. In the end, you buy the corresponding devices and use electricity to generate cryptocurrencies. You don't always have to worry about finding a suitable location, maintenance or cheap electricity prices. You can also have the miners hosted by a specialized hoster - such as our partner Endless Power Solutions (EPS). But now back to the topic: Currently, investing in Bitcoin, Kaspa and Dogecoin is worthwhile. A somewhat riskier but potentially more profitable investment could be in Alephium or Ethereum Classic, although we would currently recommend Alephium over ETC due to the higher risks (and thus also higher opportunities). For a somewhat less risky investment, Kaspa or Dogecoin are recommended. Those who want to be “on the safe side” are best advised to continue investing in Bitcoin.
Where can I invest in Kaspa, Alephium, Bitcoin & Co. or buy cryptocurrencies?
You can buy and sell cryptocurrencies on many specialized marketplaces. However, make sure that you use a reputable marketplace to avoid becoming a victim of a scam. Alternatively, you can invest in Bitcoin, Kaspa, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic and Alephium by purchasing an ASIC miner from us. As mentioned above, you can even have the miners hosted at our partner EPS at very favorable electricity prices. For Bitcoin, we also offer cloud mining as an alternative, where you buy computing power from us and receive the mining rewards from it.
Help with setup and selection
Setting up an ASIC miner is relatively easy. You just have to connect the miners to the power supply and the internet. After that, you can set up the miners via a convenient web interface. The mining rewards will then be sent directly to your wallet on a regular basis (note: the wallet is your “digital wallet” - this wallet is protected by a private key - which only you personally and nobody else should know - protected). This way, you always have full control over your cryptocurrencies and can sleep peacefully, because the crash of a large marketplace (as was the case with FTX) will not affect you. Our experts will of course be happy to help you set up the miners you have purchased and also to a limited extent with the use of a wallet. With our ASIC miner yield calculator, you can easily calculate the yield after deducting the electricity costs yourself. Security note: Please never share your private key or the so-called “seed” with our employees. Do not use wallets that you can “buy” or that have been created by other people. We recommend using a hardware wallet such as the Ledger Nano X. We recommend buying directly from the manufacturer and offer a discount equal to the retail price of a Ledger as a promotion when you buy an ASIC miner from us.
Buying miners or buying cryptos
Of course, you can also simply buy cryptocurrencies on a marketplace. However, in many cases, it can be worthwhile to buy miners in order to generate cryptocurrencies over a longer period of time. Don't forget: miners can also be written off as a company. Electricity and hosting costs are regular expenses, whereas cryptocurrencies are intangible assets. In some countries, this can also result in interesting tax advantages, e.g. by (positively) exploiting an activation ban and deferring profits to the next year (in the case of cloud mining). We also offer special savings packages under certain conditions, where you can receive a free sample of the miners you have purchased (in addition to a legally required regular invoice).
What is the best way to invest in crypto right now
The best way to invest in cryptocurrencies depends on numerous factors. These include whether you want to make the investment “privately” or with a company, whether you want to operate the miners on your own premises or in EPS's data center, which cryptocurrency you want to invest in, and how much you want to invest. However, for most individuals and companies, investing in Kaspa or Bitcoin is likely to be the most worthwhile and relatively future-proof, regardless of these questions. Our team of experts will be happy to advise you on the right investment opportunity. Our company has been active for several years and has offices in several countries. Our experts come from the USA, Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece and the United Arab Emirates and, of course, speak your language. We deliver to most countries free of charge with DHL and the delivery type DDP (Delivery Duty Paid), i.e. you will not incur any additional shipping costs or customs or import duties.
Investing in a mining farm
We also offer specialized advice for larger mining projects and your own mining farms. We have a dedicated employee in our team for this topic and offer you not only the right miners but also special containers, racks, radiators and other cooling solutions. In particular, the latest cooling and heat transfer concepts for large systems and halls. With these cooling solutions, you can use the waste heat from the miners for other processes or to heat your office buildings.
