Regarding the topic but getting a little out of the idea, we have some questions like: Why when the market wants a high occurs a low and when the market wants a low it occurs a high? Technically Bitcoin is coming back, but theoretically we are in the dark.

For some reason, we haven't seen such reports in 2017 when BTC made almost x10 during a year and no one compared it to dow or any other stocks.
Also, BTC and dow and stocks can't be compared and have different annual percentage growth due to the different amount of risk.
And by the way there is such thing as penny stocks where you can buy a share of some shitty company that later can moon and make x10 for you. It is pretty similar to altcoin trading but it appeared many years before on traditional markets. Bitcoin should be probably compared to that part of traditional market.

The development is the only way to gain the normal position again for every investment especially Bitcoin had wide opening from the people to get interested and addicted to it like and investment so if it is keeping the control of it exposure it need to be more stable with their development every time.
Well, it is just a wave which will get to increase in a very small time period. When the growth of cryptocurrency is big people easily turn towards it. From there it moves forward defeating each and everything. Particularly decentralized growth brings a large level of growth in a much higher percentage which can never happen with stocks.

Traders and analysts are screaming about the stock market’s “historic” first quarter. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) – which tracks 30 of the largest American companies – has staged an epic rally since the start of the year, chalking up 12 percent.

But forget stocks. Bitcoin is outperforming the broader stock market by a huge margin. In fact, bitcoin is outperforming every stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Except bitcoin's market capitalisation is much smaller and as a result, moves much more easily compared to stock markets. Also, equities and currencies are simply not the same concept, and in equities, capital gains is only a part of what constitutes a trader's profit.

I don't think that this is a fair comparison, or demonstrates the superiority of bitcoin as an investment necessarily. You'd have to be entering at the perfect time to realise these types of gains, and the same thing could be said in reverse when bitcoin underperformed stocks.

That said though, in the medium to long term I would personally be more interested in keeping my funds out of shares, and diversifying more into bitcoin given the fact that adoption of bitcoin will likely outpace new share investors, and the ease of which bitcoin can be accessed compared to stocks. But in the short term, these statistics mean virtually nothing.

I don't think that "outperforming" is the right word for BTC having a bigger gain compared to DJIA stocks at least at the present. If you look at its historical chart DJIA have not experienced any significant downward trend ever since the recession has stopped in the year 2009. While Bitcoin through its creation has been volatile all throughout its lifetime the latest bear market we experienced started at December 2017 and we still cannot confirm that we are out of it until now. So I wouldn't be comfortable saying BTC has outperformed the stock market generally.

outperforming may not be the right now but i still think its true that BTC is performing well. price is much higher than the first years of BTC. though we can see the price right now isn't skyrocketing like how it did in 2017, the market is going well. but shouldn't we just compare cryptocurrencies to currencies like forex not on stocks and bonds?

Compared to the Dow which has been rising for a few years now, bitcoin is actually nothing, but for the first quarter of 2019, I'd say bitcoin has done pretty well on its own. The rise that we have had these past few weeks was just a short stint from the bulls and the momentum may have been lost by now considering that we haven't seen any attempts to break $5500 very recently and order books have since thinned after the last push to $5300 just yesterday. Should bitcoin continue its stellar performance just like it did on the first of April, we will really outclass the Dow for this year without even spending the whole days of 2019.

As you can see in the chart above, bitcoin has gained 44 percent since the start of the year. In contrast, the Dow has etched out 12 percent.

Bitcoin hit bottom right before start of the year. So please do expect quite high growth of Bitcoin in 2019.

I'm not being shocked by the performance of bitcoin because it has shown some good up movement since the start of this year. It got stocked around $4750 for a long time. So what we are seeing is a movement out of that box. Welcome bitcoin and we are going to see more of 2017.

Notice this article is from a crypto news site, which obviously has a bias toward showing bitcoin in the best light. 

The truth is that the price jump we've seen in the past week or so is a very short-term movement.  Before that, bitcoin was increasing extremely slowly and only after a long period of being stagnant.  It was trading in a very tight range for quite a few months.  In addition, the stock market has over a century of history behind it, whereas bitcoin just celebrated its 10th birthday.  It's far too soon to start shouting from the rooftops that bitcoin will trounce stocks. 

What I wrote might sound like I'm betting against bitcoin, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.  I'm hoping bitcoin kills the stock market this year!

Bitcoins has since 2009 when the first coins were mined, outperformed every other access. We still have 8 more months left, so its to early to say where the bitcoin price will end in 2019. We still have a long way to get back up to bitcoins all-time high.

Of course bitcoin continues to be the most important in the future by 2019 not the end of everything, and bitcoin will also be a useful currency and people will have bitcoin.

Bitcoin Gains Leave Dow in the Dust


As you can see in the chart above, bitcoin has gained 44 percent since the start of the year. In contrast, the Dow has etched out 12 percent.

It’s still an impressive rise for stocks. Just three months into the year and the Dow has already surpassed the annual average stock market return of 10 percent.

Bitcoin’s rise in the same time period, however, makes the stock market rally look weak. On Wednesday, bitcoin carved out a new 2019 high, coming within touching distance of $5,500 on the Bitstamp exchange. It marks the peak of 44 percent bull run since the start of the year.
