As CNBC points out, Bitcoin’s price is up nearly nine-fold over the past year.

Last month the bank published a research titled “Bitcoin’s Dirty Little Secrets,” where it called Bitcoin’s volatility "impractical" as a store of value or a payments mechanism. It stated that there's “no good reason to own Bitcoin unless you see prices going up."
