Bitcoin Risk

Bitcoin's risk is higher than that of even technology stocks measured by its standard deviation or volatility.

Is Bitcoin's risk well compensated? Even as things stand, I would say yes.

In November 2016, Bitcoin's price was 327 USD compared to approximately 21 740 USD now. So even after the near 70 % fall from its recent peak, if one went in early in Bitcoin, he or she could have made more than 50 times on the initial investment in little more than 5 years.

I forecast than in the short-term, mid-term and long-term future Bitcoin and most other sound cryptocurrencies will continue to be a quite good investment opportunity. 

Simply because Bitcoin, its underlying blockchain and crypto provide too many value enhancing opportunities for both people and corporations.
