What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

tldr

  • PayPal currently supports buying and selling bitcoin and several other cryptoassets on their main platform, as of Q4 last year.
  • Expansion of this offering to other jurisdictions, and PayPal's very popular Venmo platform suggests strong usage numbers from their current offering, as well as management's commitment to bitcoin & crypto integrations.
