Wells Fargo notes Bitcoin investment attractiveness

Analysts of the financial holding Wells Fargo noted that the value of the main cryptocurrency increased by 170% on an annualized basis. This is what makes bitcoin the most effective investment asset in 2020, experts say.

According to data in one of the company’s latest reports, over the past 12 years, cryptocurrencies have grown from almost nothing to an industry with a capitalization of $560 billion. “Short-term hobbies usually do not last 12 years,” experts of the financial holding are sure.

Noting the positive aspects of the first cryptocurrency, analysts emphasized the high volatility of BTC. Experts drew an analogy between its development and the dynamics of gold growth. Three years ago, assets started from one point and for a long time demonstrated a generally similar dynamics. However, this year the Bitcoin line has gone up sharply.
