This New Asset-Backed Cryptocurrency Can Help You Beat Inflation

There’s no escaping inflation. Every year, it goes up, it increases prices around you, and lowers your purchasing power. Traditionally, the only way to beat inflation is through investing, but investing in individual equities can be risky and leave you exposed to major market downturns.

There’s A New Way

It’s called Tiberius Coin and it’s changing the way we view cryptocurrencies. Tiberius Coin is the world’s first asset-backed cryptocurrency that focuses directly on physical metals. The company is owned by Tiberius Group, a commodities trading firm with over 30 years of experience in mining, trading, and asset-management.

Each Tiberius Coin is tradeable and redeemable for each of the following metals:

The company claims they handpicked these specific metals as part of a greater strategy to benefit from future growth in the technology and electric vehicle sectors, while gold and platinum were added to provide additional stability.

The Relationship Between Inflation And Prices

Inflation naturally increases prices over time. Commodities are the raw products that go into manufacturing the products we use in our everyday lives.

Here’s a simplified view of inflation in action.

Remember when the iPhone came out in 2007? It was quite a big deal and arguably launched the smartphone revolution that dominates modern technology. That phone originally retailed for $499. If we look at the prices of iPhones over the years, they have only gone up. Why? Because the cost of manufacturing them has gone up as raw materials have increased in price.

  • An iPhone 5 cost $649 in 2012
  • An iPhone 7 Plus $769 in 2012
  • An iPhone X was $999 in 2017

While some of this is certainly due to the premium nature of the iPhone, there is no denying raw materials prices played a major factor in these price increases. When raw materials go up in price, manufactured goods do as well. It’s this complex relationship that drives inflation and devalues your money every year.

In North America and Western Europe, inflation is fairly predictable. It usually hovers between 2-3%. These rates are predictable, typically beatable through investing, and allow our economies to grow.

However, this relationship isn’t always perfect. In countries like Venezuela, Turkey, and Argentina, inflation is currently running out of control and destroying people’s entire life savings.

Using Tokens Like Tiberius Coin To Beat Inflation

If we know that cost is dictated by the price of raw materials, then it should be fairly obvious why it would be wise to invest in raw materials.

Tiberius Coin has done exactly that. Their token provides direct ownership over a basket of metals that are related to the technology and electric vehicle sectors. This means that the token will increase in value as the price of these commodities increases over time. When companies like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) raise prices, citing a rise in commodities prices, you will benefit from these increases.

In a worse case scenario, you beat inflation. You may not beat it by a lot, but you’re money still gained value instead of losing it. For individuals living in countries with dangerous inflation levels, this is a huge victory and something that more people need to be aware of. Tiberius Coin could easily become the answer to inflation problems simply by providing easy access to major commodities.

In a best case scenario, you beat inflation and come out way ahead. While the metal markets rarely move in large percentages, they do grow over time as prices increase. Should the technology sector continue to grow and innovate, the need for raw materials will grow as demand swells. If a shortage for these materials occurs, similar to what happened to cobalt in the past, prices will soar.

In both of these scenarios, investors will beat inflation, see their money grow, and do so using a safe and transparent method. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have no true intrinsic value, each Tiberius Coin is asset-backed and redeemable for actual metal. In addition, it provides investors with simplified access to complex financial tools that retail investors often don’t have access to.

When you work your entire life, saving for retirement, your children’s education, and other things, you shouldn’t have to worry about that money losing its value completely.

You are no longer bound to your country’s specific economy when you invest in an asset-backed token like Tiberius Coin. The global metal markets exist in every country, they power industries from tech to industrial, and demand for them will never disappear so long as populations continue to grow.

Diversify Your Portfolio – Hedge Against Inflation

Inflation isn’t an attractive thing to think about. Beating it may not make you rich, but it’s one of the most important things you can do if you want to see your money grow over time. Whether we like it or not, inflation is a force that we have to come to terms with.

Tiberius Coin is an investment vehicle that makes it easy for you to beat inflation. If you are looking for exposure to the cryptocurrency markets without the price risk that comes with investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other popular cryptocurrencies, Tiberius Coin is likely the right choice for you.

You can still benefit from cryptocurrency exposure, while taking advantage of the stability, security, and liquidity that comes with investing in a market that is as established as the physical metals markets.

A successful portfolio needs to consider every risk. That means beating things like inflation, sector downturns, volatility, general weakness in the economy, and being diversified enough to handle sudden shifts in market sentiment. Investing in Tiberius Coin will help you overcome two of these things.

  1. It will allow you to beat inflation, or at the very least, match it.
  2. You will have less exposure to volatility. The metal markets are global, firmly established, and not subject to violent volatility like other less developed industries.
