Cryptocurrencies are the most enlightening winner of the bunch as the bid here illustrates the recognized shortcomings of the world’s 180 distinct fiat currencies. The notion that a global superpower’s currency like the Russian Ruble can lose 50% of its value in 2 weeks because other governments decided to put sanctions on the country is a scary thought (even if these sanctions are more than justified).

Blockchain-backed digital currencies provide the new world with a way for our economic structure to bypass geopolitical agendas (no matter how just their cause) in a free-market-driven manner which economists have been pointing to for decades if not centuries.

Investors are wrestling with the hard truth that fiat currencies are far less safe than we trust them to be and that cash under your mattress will do nothing but lose value over time (at an accelerating pace as of late). Cryptocurrencies will be a part of our new economy whether you like it or not, and it would be prudent to invest today before their mass adaptation. Bitcoin BTC-USD, Ethereum ETH-USD, and Solana SOL-USD are the three I would put my money in.
