Apart from Bitcoin, the top commodity of the decade was found to be gold (no surprises here), which would yield $1.34 right now on a $1 investment in 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The United States stock market, which is holding pretty strong despite fears of a global crash, wasn\u2019t able to match crypto\u2019s performance, as CNN noted that investing $1 into stocks at the beginning of the decade would have yielded just $3.46 at the end of this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the same time, $1 invested in 30-year-old U.S. treasury bills over the same period would have yielded just $2.08.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bitcoin Ruled 2019 Too<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A similar report was given on December 13 by CoinDesk, which noted that cryptocurrencies were able to outperform every other asset class for the year, despite starting in January at a rather terrible point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the news outlet noted, crypto-assets were able to withstand the crypto winter of 2018 and move ahead of other assets. Quoting Ryan Alfred (the president and co-founder of Digital Assets Data), the news medium explained that large-cap crypto assets still provided higher returns on investment than traditional assets at the end of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As for gold, its performance for the year held up rather nicely as well, as it started the year trading at $1,242 per ounce and is now trading at $1,474 at press time (per\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/goldprice.org\/gold-price-chart.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">data<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0from GoldPrice). Its 15 percent rise, however, still pales in comparison to the 91 percent rise that Bitcoin has seen over the course of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stocks also did rather well this year, but several people have pointed out that this rise was fuelled by an alarming increase in government spending, an increase which has now led the total US debt to climb up to $23 trillion, as the US National Debt Clock\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usdebtclock.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">shows<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s also worth noting that cryptocurrency investors could earn even more in the new year. The Bitcoin halving- a process where the block rewards given to miners is cut in half- is expected to occur in May, and if history is any indication, it could be followed by a rally in the asset\u2019s price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not to prod into your investment plans, but Bitcoin is one asset you want to keep your eyes on going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fin-excerpt\">Investors have done their best to predict markets and put their best foot forward when approaching an asset class.
