# Bitcoin is far and away the best performing asset of the year, and people are noticing

Did you know that bitcoin is the best performing asset of the year?

If you are reading this, you probably did. You are part of the early adopter crowd.

The crowd that bought bitcoin before the hedge funds, billionaires, corporations, family offices etc.

Congratulations on your foresight by the way, well done!

Back to my point, did you know that not only is bitcoin the best performing asset year to date, but it's really not even close.

Year to date returns:

- Bitcoin up 108%

- Gold up 30%

- S&P500 up 8%

Should I put my money in stocks and collect 8% per year or should I put my money in bitcoin and make 12x that amount?

By the the way this isn't just one stellar year for bitcoin, it was also up 92% last year as well.

Oh and by the way it was the best performing asset of 2019 as well.

Billionaires and everyone else are finally starting to take notice.
