How many times have you heard that Bitcoin is too risky... that Bitcoin is too volatile... that Bitcoin is a bubble?

Personally, all I can see is that #Bitcoin is off the charts.

Time for a thread

1/ When it comes to volatility #Bitcoin behaves more like a high growth tech stock than gold or your standard ETF.

Among other things that means a big part of this volatility comes from upside moves.

2/ To compare #Bitcoin with those assets I’ve looked at two metrics calculated over their lifetime:

- The growth rate as a measure of total returns.

- The Sortino ratio as a measure of risk adjusted returns.

Results

3/ On a yearly basis #Bitcoin has the best risk adjusted return and the fastest growth rate by a huge margin.

4/ On a quarterly basis #Bitcoin has the best risk adjusted return and the fastest growth rate.

At this scale #BTC is closer to $TSLA in terms of risk adjusted returns but still grows much faster.

5/ Even on a monthly basis #Bitcoin dominates in terms of risk adjusted returns and growth rate.

6/ TL;DR by investing in #Bitcoin you are betting on the fastest horse with the best risk adjusted returns.

So there is really no reason for leaving it out of your portfolio.
