The New Year started with bitcoin crossing the $30,000 for the first time on Saturday 02 January 2021. It traded at $33,099 while almost all other was closed on Saturday, the first weekend of 2021.
What you could have gained had you started in 2020: 200%
In 2020 bitcoin gained above 300% in 2020 alone. It added more than 50% in just last two weeks since crossing $20,000.
Why is it growing?
It is in demand from larger US investors due to perception that
- Bitcoin has inflation-hedging qualities
- potential for quick gains
- likely to become mainstream, payment method
- limited supply of bitcoin by ‘mining’ computers
- almost a safe-haven, just like gold
The expected value
Some day it is likely that bitcoin will eventually cross $100,000. And even while there is not enough ground to set the expected time to achieve that, it will be surprisingly sooner.
