'For later' comes closer

After his military career, Mark van den Berg went back to working in the civilian sector. Every three years he faced a new challenge, working for numerous sectors and companies. He started investing a part of his savings when he was 25 years old, but without worrying about it too much. That’s the same way he’s investing in cryptocurrencies right now, with Amdax.

“Investing, both in stocks and options, has never been top of mind for me. I loosely followed the markets and have had both bad and good investments, but it’s never kept me up at night. I only invested the money that I didn’t immediately need, and I reinvested or saved the returns. I also kept an eye on crypto, and although I wasn’t really interested in the underlying technology, I did see that it would play an important role in the future.

A friend told me about Amdax, and I liked the fact that they were the first to be registered with the Dutch Central Bank in this sector. I immediately felt like my money was in good hands. They explain the rationale behind the investments, so that I don’t feel uncomfortable when there are price drops. After I got in, the bitcoin price rocketed up, but now I’m approximately back to break-even. I’m convinced that, with a bit of patience, it’ll all turn out okay, although I might cash out a bit sooner this time. We want to start traveling more, and we’ve stopped saving for later, because later has become now.”
