❓❓❓Forbes India @15: Bitcoin, 15 years later, digital gold or risky investment?
Bitcoin, the first ever cryptocurrency launched in 2009, and the jury is still divided whether it is digital gold or a risky investment.
For some, Bitcoin is a risky bet, and for others, it’s digital gold. While billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have been vocal critics, businesspersons Elon Musk and Mark Cuban have backed it. Somewhere in between, the price of the first-ever cryptocurrency has risen from fractions of a penny in 2010 to an all-time high of $73,000 in 2024.
