Editors Note ✒️

I'd like you to cast your mind back to the bull run of 2021; it was a time when cryptocurrencies, particularly the decentralised (DeFi) market, saw explosive growth.

Many tokens reached All-Time-Highs, and countless people invested in crypto for the first time. If you were anything like me (albeit an experienced stock market trader), trading a DeFi token was like rocket science. I remember opening accounts with Central Exchanges and getting scared about transferring crypto to a new personal wallet for the first time, giving up in the process.

I stumbled upon wallets with on-ramps, taking me an additional two days to buy BNB and work out how to convert to Binance Smart Chain... and well, all of this was before I even got around to the swaps, slippage, and different DeFi platforms for trading. How can we expect mass adoption when it's that challenging to trade coins or tokens for the first time? The simple answer is we can't. And we can't expect people to YouTube every other step needed to get involved as I did and then somehow claim crypto is the future. This is where Flooz Trade's new 'buy any crypto' service comes into its own.

It's decentralized, non-custodial, and uses the biggest named on-ramps like MoonPay, Ramp Networks, and Transak, it glides traders through buying a DeFi token which such ease and elegance that it makes me wonder...What if this service had been available when I began my crypto investment journey? How much additional money would have found its way into our decentralised Web3 space? How many more tokens would have survived the current bear market? How many more tokens could have been created?

It's hard to answer, but with new services like this, Flooz demonstrates that the pain points for mass adoption can be eliminated, and we're ready for the next bull run.

Grabbing the Bear by the Horns 📈

Following today's headlines, it's only right to reflect on the current bear market, something that inspired us to build our latest and greatest Buy ANY Crypto feature...

Here's a little story on the competitive sport we call investing. The bear came before the bull... 

There’s an old proverb that goes, “It’s not wise to sell the bear’s skin before one has caught the bear.” In the 1700s, stemming from this proverb, the word “bear” began to refer to a speculator who sold stock. A “bear” would sell a borrowed stock with a delivery date specified in the future. The expectation was that prices would go down and the stock would be bought back at a lower price, with the bear keeping the difference as profit. A bear market thus came to signify a market in which prices were expected to drop.

But the bear needed a worthy opponent. In the 1700s, bears and bulls were widely considered opposites because of the once-popular blood sport of bull-and-bear fights (yup, it was a thing), so the term “bull market” came to signify a market in which prices are expected to rise. (Some people contend that the names also derive from how the animals fight: bears tend to swipe down, while bulls thrust up their horns.)

Many active investors today have never lived through a bear market; for all our time, we’ve been blessed with a tremendous bull market. 

That’s changed across last year, and it’s changed quickly. This abrupt shift is coinciding with the trend of everyone becoming an investor and everything becoming investable. The bear market and the investing boom are on a collision course... giving rise to a new type of investor. 

How many bear markets have you lived through?

The emerging group of young investors has been called “Generation Investor” and they’re unlike any generation we’ve seen before. A recent survey found that 48% of Gen Z investors check their portfolios multiple times a day, while 24% check once a day. That compares to 39% and 22% for Millennials, 16% and 19% for Gen X, and 10% and 12% for Baby Boomers. Generation Investor is also more active: 34% of Gen Zs make trades a few times a week, compared to 26% of Millennials, 19% of Gen Xers, and 7% of Baby Boomers.

Where does this leave us? Today, it's more exciting than ever to become an investor. Investing has never been more accessible, more social, more important. Investing is a critical path to real wealth creation, too often inaccessible or arcane in the past.

There’s now a rising class of investors, more engaged than any generation before, and there are more opportunities to invest than ever before, with new platforms and technologies making nearly everything a potential investment. Even in a bear market, these things hold true. A bear market demands more discipline than was required in the frothy past few years, but it doesn’t change the long-term arc toward optimism and opportunity!
