The Reality All Bitcoin and Ethereum Investors Need to Come to Terms With
Historically, there have been few if any assets that have trumped the stock market in terms of average returns. Inclusive of dividend reinvestment, the stock market has generated 7% returns over the long run, which works out to a doubling of your invested wealth about once a decade. But in 2017, cryptocurrency returns have blown the stock market out of the water.
Through Monday, Oct. 16, bitcoin, which is the most popular digital currency, and the largest by market cap, had gained nearly 500% year to date. Ethereum, which is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, was up an even more impressive 4,100% since the year began. As a whole, the aggregate market cap of more than 1,100 tradable cryptocurrencies now sits at $172.2 billion, up 876% since the beginning of the year. For comparison, it's taken more than two decades for the broad-based S&P 500 to deliver similar returns.
