eToro Study: Ripple (XRP) Is the Most Popular Investment, New Male Investors Dominate Crypto Market
A new study by social trading network and multi-asset brokerage company eToro reveals striking demographic data about the people jumping into the crypto market. Researchers looked at the public profiles of cryptocurrency investors according to age, gender and job sector, from March 2017 – February 2018.
Traders with little to no investment experience represent a stunning 81.96%. A paltry 7.38% of the data set identify as having advanced investment experience. Male investors dwarf female investors, 91.5% to 8.5%.
The data also reveals that the majority of investors, roughly 30%, are out of the job market (i.e. students, retirees, the unemployed). Of the professional workers, nearly an equal percentage are in sales and marketing versus computer and IT services, at 15.05 and 14.49% respectively. People working in the finance sector represent 8.48%.

May 21, 2018I’m long on XRP, it just has too strong of a use case to ignore. Banks saving 40-70% on costs while also drastically increasing speed and transparency? It’s a no-brainer.

May 20, 2018Ripple is the best long term investment out of the top 10 coins. If banks start using XRP a few years from now (all they need is regulation to get in place), XRP will hit $10 or more.
