Forbes - Debunking Bitcoin's 5 Biggest Myths

Fellow Investor,

Whether you believe in bitcoin as a transformative innovation or not, there's no denying that it's a phenomenal success.

Starting from nothing in 2009, with wild swings along the way, bitcoin recently reached a new all-time high of $19,850.

To put that into perspective, $1,000 invested in bitcoin in 2010 would be worth a staggering $172,000,000-plus by now. That's not a typo.

If you had invested that same $1,000 in the S&P 500, your investment would be worth only $2,500.

But with this immense success comes enormous myths as well. And these myths continue to dog this nascent asset, somewhat keeping it down even as it gains solid institutional, smart-money support.

So what are these misconceptions that are keeping investors from having more clear-eyed perspective on it's potential?

In this week's exclusive report, Debunking Bitcoin's 5 Biggest Myths, Steven Ehrlich, Forbes resident crypto expert, debunks these myths and provides no-nonsense explanations to set the record straight.

• Does Bitcoin have no intrinsic value?
• Is Bitcoin NOT secure?
• Is Bitcoin too volatile?
• ... or worse, is Bitcoin illegal?

These misconceptions stand to keep investors from making informed decisions about their financial future.

That's why we're here to share the right answers. We hope you find it useful.
 

Sincerely,
