If You Invested $1,000 In Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin And Other Cryptos At Their COVID-19 Pandemic Lows, Here's How Much You'd Have Now

Zinger Key Points
  • Investors who bought top cryptos at their 2020 pandemic lows and held on have generated big returns.
  • Even after the 2022 crypto winner, long-term investors are up big on Bitcoin, Ethereum and others.

The stock market has performed very well in the past couple of years, and virtually anything investors have touched has turned to gold. In fact, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY total return since its COVID-19 bottom on March 23, 2000 is 83.6%.

However, as well as stocks have performed in the past two-plus years, most cryptocurrency returns have left the S&P 500 in the dust.

Despite the extreme volatility in cryptocurrency prices and the relatively limited utility of cryptos as actual currency at this point, cryptocurrency investors that bought in 2020 and held on for the long-term have generated tremendous overall gains.

COVID-19 Winners: Most top cryptocurrencies caught fire in early 2021, and some experts and analysts believe cryptos will eventually replace gold as the preferred inflationary hedge among younger investors. Even after crypto markets cooled off in recent months, most HODLers from 2020 are still sitting on major gains.
