Bitcoin has been known for having explosive bull markets that provide outsized gains exponentially higher than traditional stock market indices.
As you can see in the below 5-year chart, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and NASDAQ all barely appear visible at the bottom of the chart, looking virtually flat vs Bitcoin and Ethereum, both of which have seen four-figure percentage returns during most recent rallies, Ethereum nearly tripling Bitcoin's returns.
Crypto vs Stock Market Indices.
Crypto vs Tech Stocks.
However, let's take a look at how Bitcoin, a single crypto asset, performs against individual technology stocks that have had explosive years of their own in recent past. In the 5 year chart below, we plotted Bitcoin and Ethereum against top NASDAQ large-cap performers such as Tesla, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook to see how their performances compared.
As you can see, big tech has had phenomenal returns this year last and last relative to a traditional index fund or stock market index yearly return. However, these three and low four-figure percentage gains pale in comparison to Bitcoin's 4,000%+ gains and Ethereum's nearly 5,000% gains!
Conclusion:
Despite crypto's volatility, crypto large-caps such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have proven and continue to outperform even the best hand-picked stock market indices and individual high-growth stocks by multiples, providing investors with exorbitant gains and growing at tremendous rates.
