Bitcoin Lags Gold and US Stocks Over Five Years
Original: What If You Invested $1,000 in Bitcoin 5 Years Ago? Gold and US Stocks Both Did Better
Financial outlets are revisiting the hypothetical of putting $1,000 into Bitcoin five years ago, and the answer is deflating for crypto bulls. Comparisons show gold and US stocks both delivered stronger returns over the same period, undercutting Bitcoin's reputation as the best-performing asset of the decade.
Why now: Bitcoin's recent underperformance is prompting investors to compare its five-year returns with traditional assets like gold and stocks.
