It depends on what you want to achieve and what you mean by “investing in cryptocurrencies”. If you mean simply buying a crypto like bitcoin or ether my general answer would be no, because cryptos are not truly a vehicle of investment, since their growth isn’t based on ant true valuable asset, but rather purely on the speculation itself. In this sense, “investing” in cryptos like bitcoin is not too different from gambling. Some argue that cryptocurrencies are a future viable alternative to regular printed currencies, but this is only half truth. Distributed ledger technologies do have the potential to achieve such a thing, but bitcoin specifically, as well as most of the other cryptos that are popular today do not.

Why? Simply because they employ the technology in an overly decentralized manner that simply doesn’t take into account issues like liquidity. This makes them way too unstable to be functional as true currencies with which people buy and sell goods and assets. If you got a currency that is worth something today and might have an entirely different value a week from now, that simply isn’t a reliable currency. Although all currencies are prone to having some degree of volatility, there are institutions and mechanisms to prevent drastic value movements, and that isn’t the case with most cryptos.

If by “investing in cryptocurrencies” you mean investing in the underlying technology behind them, then that is something I do recommend. Distributed ledger technologies are starting to be widely used by many financial institutions and companies to make financial assets more liquid, automatize certain processes and make transactions generally faster and cheaper. Now it’s a great time to invest in those technologies, though you have to look for specific investment opportunnities and truly viable companies.
