Bitcoin Hit the $1 Trillion Market Cap Milestone Twice as Fast as Amazon and Three Times Faster than Apple, Data Shows

What took Microsoft 44 years, Apple 42 years, Amazon 24 years and Google 21? The answer: achieving a trillion dollar market capitalization. However, it took the Bitcoin cryptocurrency just 12 – the fastest ever.

At the beginning of 2021, Bitcoin had a market capitalization of $500 billion, but in just four months it has gained another $500 billion as tech CEO’s like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have made sizable investments, multiple exchange-traded funds are preparing to launch, the CoinBase cryptocurrency exchange has gone public, and many legacy financial institutions like PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, JP Morgan and the Bank of New York Mellon have come on board. The only question now seems to be, “How long till the next trillion?” As they say on the WallStreetBets Reddit message board, “To the Moon!” (Chart from visualcapitalist.com)

Womack Weekly Commentary: September 18, 2017

Womack Weekly Commentary September 18, 2017 The Markets “In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, in practice there is.” Yogi Berra was talking about baseball, but the concept also applies to diversification, according to the GMO White Paper, The S&P 500: Just Say No . From the title, you might think the authors – Matt Kadnar and James Montier – don’t like U.S. stocks. They do: “Being a U.S. equity investor over the past several years has felt glorious. The S&P 500 has trounced the competition provided by other major developed and emerging equity markets. Over the last 7 years, the S&P is up 173 percent (15 percent annualized in nominal terms) versus MSCI EAFE (in USD terms), which is up 71 percent (8 percent annualized), and poor MSCI Emerging, which is up only 30 percent (4 percent annualized).
