If you had purchased bitcoin at the market close on Dec. 10, you would’ve paid $92,020.95. As of the market close one week later, on Dec. 17, it was worth $86,143.76. So your investment would’ve declined by $5,877.19, or about 6.4%.
Does this mean that bitcoin is a bad investment? Or that it’s too late to get in on the big gains? That may not be the case. But cryptocurrency is not an investment for the faint of heart. Let’s take a look at the history of bitcoin and its historical performance as an investment.

Arthur Hayes just laid out his Bitcoin roadmap for the next three months — and it ends at $200,000.
The angel investor and Maelstrom fund CIO published a new essay on Friday, arguing that the Federal Reserve is printing money through a new programme, dubbed Reserve Management Purchases.
And once investors realise its effects resemble those of quantitative easing, Bitcoin will explode higher.
“As the market equates RMP to QE, Bitcoin will quickly retake $124,000 and punch quickly towards $200,000,” Hayes wrote.
His timeline is auspicious — Bitcoin should rally hard in the first three months

With the four weekday games from last week's holiday slate, your Week 14 NFL predictions should account for the rest advantages that teams have. Games like Bengals vs. Bills (-6), Ravens vs. Steelers (+6), Chiefs vs. Texans (+3.5) and Eagles vs. Chargers (+2.5) all feature teams with multiple days of rest over their opponent. While sportsbooks factored this in when setting the Week 14 NFL odds, having the edge in rest hasn't always been beneficial in regard to NFL spread success. Cincinnati, for example, who played on Thanksgiving Day, is 0-6 ATS over its last six games when it has the rest ad

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH), which operates Addenbrooke's Hospital, says that by 2040 it will need double the number of beds it currently has, and an emergency department five or six times the size.
It is already short of about 160 acute beds, and the new "radical" plans would offer more community support and would ideally see people attend hospital only for emergencies or specialist care that cannot be delivered locally
