Bitcoin faces stiff competition from gold as the top investment choice in the Finder's Investment Challenge amid recent market turbulence, with only a narrow £34 margin separating the two as of August 2024.
The recent drop in Bitcoin's value can be attributed to global economic turmoil and murmurs of a US recession, paralleled by a similar trend in 2022 due to Ukraine conflict, showing the vulnerability of cryptocurrencies to market volatility.
The unpredictability of risky investments like Bitcoin is evident as it topped the Investment Challenge in multiple years but fell significantly in 2022, proving that high gains can quickly turn into substantial losses with no guaranteed returns.
Tesla, previously a strong performer in 2023, has experienced a stark decline in 2024, becoming the worst investment choice with over a 20% loss, illustrating the dynamic nature of investment performance across different years.
