Presently, the interest to buy more bitcoin has climbed above traditional investment options such as bonds, gold, and stocks. “Long Bitcoin” is third behind tech stocks and shorting the dollar.
The survey that ran from December 4th to December 10th gauged the sentiment on various investment options. Surprisingly, the confidence in bitcoin exploded from less than 5% of votes in November to more than 15% in December. Meanwhile, the positive sentiment on gold has dropped over the month.
