Through 2017, when Bitcoin managed to increase its value 2,000 percent, going from $1,000 in January to $20,000 in December, not many in the investing market had ever seen such activity from an asset, leading Bitcoin to be dubbed ‘digital gold’.

Of course, in hindsight, this turned out to be a bit of a speculative bubble as the price of Bitcoin fell back down to lows of nearly $3,000.
