That same Bitcoin is worth over $8000 today. 100 dollars invested in 2010 would be worth over 8 million dollars today! But now you have an opportunity that’s far from typical. It’s an opportunity to cryptocurrencies, while the prices are down 60% from the start of the year? You’re probably thinking - if prices are down so much, why on Earth would I buy? The answer is, this dip is only temporary. Because it gives institutions like investment banks a chance to load up their own holdings for less. Banks like JP Morgan, who just last year were adamantly against cryptocurrency - but now are offering it as an investment option And the Chicago Board of Exchange who just filed an application to provide the world’s first Bitcoin ETF.
