Research shows that Bitcoin is still the best investment for a high return on investment (ROI). This year, the return on Bitcoin ROI has been much better than the return on most other assets, surpassing the majority of commodities, stocks, currencies, and indices.

Several cryptocurrency analysts anticipate that other milestones will be reached in the last two months of 2021, with one renowned price prediction model predicting that Bitcoin will hit six digits by Christmas time.
