If You Bought $1,000 Worth of Bitcoin a Year Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

During the same period, the S&P 500 index, which is generally considered to be the best gauge of overall stock market performance, has delivered a 50% total return. Several stocks have doubled and tripled over the past year as the market rewarded companies that benefited from the stay-at-home economy.
