Cryptocurrency may be a good investment if you are willing to accept it is a high risk gamble which could pay off – but also that there is a strong chance you could lose all of your money. Prices of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin have been falling in 2022 amid a worldwide crypto price crash. It is important before investing in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies that you go in with your eyes open.Is cryptocurrency a good way to make money?Early investors in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin will likely have made money: if you had invested £310 to buy one bitcoin in April 2016, six years later your investment would be worth about £24,000. Bitcoin’s price soared through 2021, reaching record highs of just under $67,000 in November, but dropped to $29,000 (£23,700) at its lowest in May 2022. While that is certainly worth more than £310 for one bitcoin, it shows how volatile even the most popular cryptocurrency is. The price of bitcoin has been falling in 2022 amid a wider cryptocurrency sell-off as investors steer clear or riskier investments at a time of rising inflation and interest rates.
