Maker Price Analysis: Predictions and Forecasts
Why buy Maker? What is it used for?
In contrast to Dai which is a stablecoin that is suitable for payments and savings, MKR is a token that has a volatile price because of its unique supply mechanics and role on the Maker platform. MKR is a utility token, governance token and recapitalization resource of the Maker system... Maker is a smart contract platform on Ethereum that backs and stabilizes the value of Dai through a dynamic system of Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs), autonomous feedback mechanisms, and appropriately incentivized external actors.
Maker enables anyone to leverage their Ethereum assets to generate Dai on the Maker Platform. Once generated, Dai can be used in the same manner as any other cryptocurrency: it can be freely sent to others, used as payments for goods and services, or held as long term savings. Importantly, the generation of Dai also creates the components needed for a robust decentralized margin trading platform.

Maker Trading: How To Buy + Trade MKR
Many of the 'long tail' of cryptocurrencies are currently only available at a handful of exchanges, many of which will not accept direct US Dollar, GBP or EUR deposits. In order to make a trade, you need to:
- Create a Bitcoin, Litecoin or Ethereum wallet
- Create a Maker wallet to recieve your coins
- Buy either BTC, ETH or LTC at an exchange you trust, making a deposit by bank transfer or credit card
- Transfer the major coin you have bought to an exchange that trades MKR
- Exchange your BTC, ETH or LTC for an amount of MKR, depending on the current exchange rate
- Move your Maker coins from the exchange to your private wallet to protect yourself from hacks or bankcrupcy at the exchange
The downsides of trading MKR on an exchange
As you can see, the process for trading Maker is not entirely straightforward or without risks. Exchanges are notorious for bad security and there have been several major incidents of hacking or an exchange 'going bust' with the losses to coin holders in the hundreds of millions. It is not safe to keep coins on any exchange, yet moving between exchanges or from an exchange to your wallet will incur fees.
Furthemore, its not uncommon for exchanges to go offline during periods of high volatility - means should the price of Maker crash you may find yourself unable to trade out of the currency and into a safe haven due to their site crashing.
What's the alternative?
If you plan to trade, rather than buying to hold, we recommend trading with a CFD or forex broker. It may limit your choice of currency, but has considerable advantages:
- The brokers are established and regulated by financial conduct authorities
- Brokers regulated in Europe offer deposit protection: if they go bust your deposit will be refunded by the goverment (though not your open trades!)
- Deposits and trades can be made directly in a currency you are comfortable with - USD, EUR or GBP. No need to calculate multiple exchange rates to know your profit.
- Forex brokers are accustomed to high volatility and are better prepared for spikes of traffic. In a bear market, you should have a better chance of closing trades and getting your money out before Maker goes to zero

No, it is not a 'good investment' to buy Maker, and given the market volatility it is certainly not safe either. We would urge you to not to consider buying or trading Maker as an investment but purely speculation.
It is certainly possible to profit from an increase in the value of MKR - and if you short the coin you might even profit from a crash in the market.
However with so much uncertainty in the market the best you can do is make an educated guess as to the direction of the price or the mood of the market. If you're not informed on the fundamentals that's pretty close to a gamble.
Remember, your capital is at risk.. Trading conditions can change at any time without prior notice. Buying, holding or trading is a high risk activity that may incur significant losses over a short period of time
