Yeah! The crypto-economy is growing rapidly. Use-cases of blockchain technologies are being implemented and the companies working on this tech are issuing their own cryptocurrencies or tokens. There are projects in the market being backed by big names like JP morgan, Google, Microsoft, IBM and many more. When such big names, and professionals behind these names are present in the market, Market has to develop and grow. If we go for examples then:
- Enterprise Ethereum Alliance connects fortune 500 enterprises, startups, academics and technology vendors with Ethereum subject matter experts. Some of the members of the alliance are Microsoft, JP morgan etc.

So, the first thing before you invest is to creating your account on a cryptocurreny exchange. Then always keep following things in mind while investing or trading:

Invest as much as you can afford to lose. There are cases like where a man sold his apartment and bought ether of all the money he got. Never do such things. Invest safe, earn safe, keep earnings safe.
