Bitcoin is again dominating financial discourse and making headlines as it makes huge profits.
Cryptocurrency first went mainstream in 2017 – and garnered both attention and huge profits – it (and other cryptocurrencies) collapsed just as quickly over the next year.
But Bitcoin has always had an elusive appeal. Its creator, known as “Satoshi Nakamoto”, is still a mystery. Celebrities from Gwyneth Paltro to Snoop Dogg got on the cryptocurrency train.
And now, with Bitcoin’s recent rally of 300% growth in 2020 and some experts predicting an even more successful year in 2021, some skeptics are changing their minds.
Millennials are stepping in, and some investors see it as a powerful alternative that isn’t feeling the effects of pandemic inflation.
While the cryptocurrency is still volatile, it has a lot of strong ultrawealthy fans. But it has also attracted critics and doubters.
This is how 8 billionaires think of Bitcoin.
