In its brief existence, Bitcoin has been hailed by some as the currency of the future and denounced by many as a ‘fad’ that never took off. But let the numbers talk for now – if you had had the intuition to invest, say $100 dollars, in Bitcoin back in 2010 (₹4500 approx by the exchange rate back then), today you would be worth a whopping $72 million (Rs 459 crore). That’s the kind of returns you could expect if Mark Zuckerberg had been your schoolmate and you had invested in Facebook when it was still a dorm room project. To emphasize how ridiculous that figure is, that’s a nearly 70,000 per cent return on investment.
