Bitcoin, the bellwether cryptocurrency, has outperformed stocks of tech giants like Amazon, Google and Netflix over the past decade.
Even though Bitcoin (BTC) made its debut only 15 years ago, it has already successfully competed with the giants of the tech industry. This shows that since Bitcoin’s inception in 2009, despite its relative youth, it has had a significant impact on major players in the tech world and shown to be competitive in terms of return on investment.
As of the end of 2014, the price of Bitcoin was around $378. However, the recent poor performance of the digital asset market has also led to a decline in the price of Bitcoin. Nevertheless, according to CoinMarketCap, at the time of this article's publication, the price of Bitcoin is still as high as $63,125, although this is 14.6% lower than its all-time high reached in March.
