People who got onboard the cryptocurrency train early on are now reaping their rewards and making a lot of money. Grant Hummer is one of these people, and he is planning to turn a small fortune into an even bigger one by reinvesting millions of dollars into Chromatic Capital, a new cryptocurrency hedge fund. 

This may seem like an incredibly brave move in light of the volatile movements of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in recent weeks. The sudden swings from record market highs to sudden lows can result in major investors losing hundreds of thousands, or possibly millions, within the span of a single day.

When asked about this, Hummer seems almost zen. 

"My neurons are fried from all the volatility," he says, "I don't care, I feel numb. I could lose a million dollars in one day, and I would be OK."

The intense volatility of cryptocurrencies has led to investors warning the public that they should only invest money which they can afford to lose. Investor Mark Cuban went on to suggests that the public should not spend more than 10% of their savings when investing in cryptocurrencies. 

The fact remains that while there is a fortune to be made in cryptocurrencies, it is also possible to lose whatever you decide to invest.
