Cryptocurrency has gone mainstream. Once dismissed as an investment reserved for the lunatic fringe, it’s now an asset class stoking FOMO (fear of missing out) in many conservative and very sane investors.
There’s a reason for that. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades for over $111,000 per “coin.” It’s not a physical currency, of course, but that’s how investors keep score with an asset that’s more than doubled in price since its highs in 2021.
