The recent increase in bitcoin price has been exciting to watch. It’s also prompted legitimate questions like these. With seemingly so much wealth being created by holding bitcoin, why bother with other coins or tokens?

How is Protos better than just leaving my money in bitcoin?

In short, we believe the crypto market is volatile and still developing. Even bitcoin, the largest and least volatile of the major currencies has seen recent instances where the price will drop 20% or more. We believe we offer Protos token holders value through exposure to a more diverse, risk adjusted portfolio of crypto assets, and a professional team of traders to grow the value of that portfolio.

How might holding Bitcoin be better than holding PRTS?

Unlike passively holding a blockchain asset like Bitcoin, Protos is an actively traded fund. Protos Cryptocurrency Asset Management charges fees for trading and managing capital. Fees are clearly laid out in our OM, which we encourage you to read here. Compared to the liquidity found in BTC markets, PRTS tokens will likely be less liquid, and will be limited to trading on exchanges that limit trades to accredited investors.

Here’s how we think Protos can add more value than just holding bitcoin.

  1. Our full time team of investors and traders stay on top of the market and react to changes in the market, something that is very time consuming for individuals to do.
  2. We combine technologists and market experts and have strong network in blockchain communities to assess news and new opportunities.
  3. We buy many tokens, not just one. We believe diversifying reduces idiosyncratic risks of one coin failing.
  4. We build risk adjusted portfolios using algorithmic strategies.
  5. We make use of market imperfections and volatility, which may generate returns that we believe are unavailable if you just hold.
