Resumo(s)
Over the past few years, cryptocurrencies have been increasingly spoken and have become a global phenomenon known to most people. Nowadays, banks, governments and many companies are aware of its importance.
Their high volatility and lack of regulation makes these investments very risky, and even though these coins are often associated with criminal activities, an increase on the number of investors is visible every day.
The blockchain technology, which serves as the basis for this type of coin, has also dismissed much curiosity from various technological giants and financial companies.
Almost all major banks, big accounting firms, prominent software companies or governments already did a research related to cryptocurrencies or published a paper about it.
Most of the published studies explain the technology behind cryptocurrencies, others calculate their volatility and the remaining ones list their main advantages and disadvantages.
However, there was no published study that aims to understand what kind of profile these investors have and what are their motivations and expectations for the future.
With the help of a questionnaire presented to the investors, this study concluded that there are two separate investor profiles and also understood what are their motivations and expectations for the future.
On the other hand, through interviews with financial institutions, it was possible to see what vision regulators, private equities and corporate banking have for this new type of currency and if they consider them as a valid mean of payment.
