Title: [2015-12-29] From Worst to First: Bitcoin's Price Ends 2015 on Top Post by: shane on December 31, 2015, 12:42:54 AM After a year filled with its share of doom and gloom, the verdict is in: Bitcoin won 2015.
As trumpeted by headlines in CNBC and Bloomberg, bitcoin was the best-performing currency of the year, netting near-40% gains, more than double its nearest competition, the Somali Shilling and Gambian Dalasi. The development contrasts with bitcoin's performance from 2014, in which it lost 56% of its value, the most among global currencies. A look at the CoinDesk USD Bitcoin Price Index (BPI) from October on reveals an impressive upward arch that contrasts with the choppy peaks and valleys of the year's earlier months. http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-price-in-2015-doom-and-gloom-give-way-to-positive-years-end/ |
