Bitcoin burst onto the scene in 2008, when the online posting of the “bitcoin whitepaper” signaled a new way to move money over the internet. In the decade-plus since, the crypto market has gone through all the classic phases of a disruptive technology: massive bull markets and crushing pullbacks, periods of euphoria and moments of despair, FOMO (fear of missing out), fear, and everything in between. Even today, as institutional investors rush to allocate, many still have fundamental questions: What is bitcoin, really? What’s a blockchain? And how do you put a value on something that doesn’t produce cash-flows?
