For example, Nasdaq shares added only 30%, S&P 500 – 24%, dollarThe U.S. is 4%, oil is 21%, which is significantly lower compared to the same figure for bitcoin (140%).

Interestingly, gold (GLD) added valueonly 18% since the beginning of 2019. A comparison of bitcoin and gold is especially important, given that bitcoin is called digital gold, which allows you to save value.

Although 2019 has not yet ended, it is likelythat Bitcoin will be able to maintain its leading position and even add to the price. And then we can definitely say that Bitcoin is the most effective asset in 2019.
