Imagine this scenario:

You are a successful [business](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-business) person with your money invested through a [financial](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-finance) broker/planner. 

 You get a call one day from said planner who says that it is a good idea to take a small portion of your [portfolio](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-portfolio) and invest in [cryptocurrencies](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/cryptocurrency).  

Of course, you have no idea what they are so you ask "what are cryptocurrencies?". 

 You planner tells you that it is electronic [money](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-money) like [Bitcoin](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-bitcoin).  

You say, "oh yeah, I heard of that.  People are making a fortune off it."  

"Correct" says you planner "and we need you to get in on this with, say, 3% of your portfolio".  

"Great, what are my options?"  

You planner pauses and says  "We can get you some bitcoin or we have this other cryptocurrency call OmiseGo..which do you like?"  

"What is an OmiseGo?"

"I dont know but it has a nice looking chart and you get a lot more of it than you do Bitcoin."

"Thanks but I will take the Bitcoin.  Go ahead and do it."
