Deep dives

Bitcoin as the Best Performing Asset

Bitcoin has emerged as the best performing asset in 2024, reportedly returning around 50%, significantly outperforming traditional financial benchmarks like the S&P 500. However, this performance comes with inherent volatility; despite hitting a peak around $70,000 earlier in the year, it has seen a drop and sustained a sideways trend for several months. This volatility is often exacerbated by factors such as monetary policy changes and investor sentiment, leading to drastic fluctuations that can be hard for traditional investors to reconcile. Historical trends, particularly the four-year halving cycles, suggest that Bitcoin may once again follow an upward trajectory as certain market conditions align toward the year's end, potentially driving the prices higher.
