Don't sell your Bitcoins, institutions want to buy them.

Recently the investment bank JP Morgan released a survey that reflected the interest of large institutions in cryptocurrencies, especially in Bitcoin (BTC). In that survey conducted to a population of 3,400 responsible investors from more than 1,500 institutions around the world, reflecting that 22% of respondents express their intention to invest in cryptocurrencies while 11% acknowledged that they have already placed their money in decentralized digital currencies.

As can be seen, the reputation of BTC no longer goes unnoticed among the great elites, more and more institutions will devote a large part of their fiat shares to buy the largest of the cryptos, so they will not hesitate for a second to take advantage of the volatility of this currency to integrate it into their investment portfolio. We know from experience that it is impossible to manipulate the issuance of BTC, but its price is very susceptible to external control, something that large investors take advantage of very well.

Interestingly, the survey also reflects that there is still a lot of mistrust among investors, who associate cryptocurrencies with high-risk assets or those linked to illegal activities. 14% of respondents consider BTC and cryptos to be little less than "junk", coinciding with the stance of Warren Buffet who always referred to this cryptocurrency as "rat poison". This position is based on the supposed lack of confidence that BTC transmits to traditional investors, who criticize the lack of regulatory mechanisms that characterize this type of investment.

Paradoxically, this volatility of the cryptocurrency is the characteristic that institutions know best how to take advantage of to acquire BTC, due to the fact that they can count on the flow of fiat money printed by the FED almost for free, so they can invest short when the price falls to the extent that they buy the cryptos that others sell. For the majority of those consulted in the JP Morgan survey, approximately 65%, consider that BTC and cryptos are here to stay, regardless of whether or not there is a central entity to regulate the investment.

All things considered, it is clear that the shift of fiat money into the world of cryptos will continue to increase in 2021, institutions will not stop investing in BTC and alcoins. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor indicated that his company will continue to invest against all odds in BTC regardless of the price, the same thought that will be joined by other large institutions surely with the same intention as Saylor. It is obvious that if you have BTC to sell at this time it makes little sense since the price of cryptos will eventually continue its upward trend, so the holders of this crypto will benefit from every upward rally.
