The market has seen Apple outstrip Bitcoin’s performance since 2017, a reality that Blockstream CEO Adam Back attributes to broader economic and technological trends.
Apple's Market Dominance Over Bitcoin
Even though it may surprise some Bitcoin supporters, Apple (APPL) has actually done better than the top cryptocurrency since Bitcoin futures were introduced in 2017.
Despite this unsettling reality, Blockstream CEO Adam Back—who is also a prominent Bitcoin advocate—seems unconcerned. Extend your view. Moreover, hoodle. He shared on social media that nothing beats.
Bitcoin Futures and Market Impact
Major U.S. derivatives markets CME and CBOE launched Bitcoin futures in December 2017. For Bitcoin's institutional adoption, this was meant to be a watershed moment.
At the same time, the 2016–2017 bull market was at its height. Bitcoin went into a severe bear market in 2018 and lost nearly all of its value.
Noguchi's View on Bitcoin Futures
According to Japanese economist Yukio Noguchi's 2018 opinion, the Bitcoin bull run was put an end to by the launch of Bitcoin futures. By September 2024, the top cryptocurrency has increased in value by 202% from its low point in late 2017.
Specifically, U.Today states that at the time, Apple stock was trading at $42.5. Its growth at that time is 427 percent. Although Bitcoin's growth are noteworthy, they clearly can't compare to the California-based tech giant's.
The popularity of Apple's services, the iPhone's innovation, and other devices like AirPods and the Apple Watch all contributed to the company's meteoric rise to prominence.
The IT giant recently introduced Apple Vision Pro, its entry into the virtual reality and augmented reality markets.
Nvidia Momentarily Surpasses Apple
In the midst of the AI boom earlier this year, chipmaker Nvidia momentarily surpassed Apple as the most valuable business in the world. However, Apple reclaimed its position in June. Apple has also announced a partnership with industry leader OpenAI, proving that it is not sitting on its hands throughout the AI boom.
It's hard to say how disappointed I am with Bitcoin's performance this year. The cryptocurrency's value might still fall below $100,000 this year, according to some experts.
The lack of a clear bullish catalyst has made it difficult for the cryptocurrency to recapture its previous level of momentum.
