  1. Market-beating investor and famed fund manager Bill Miller said he has been buying Bitcoin since it cost just $200, according to Business Insider. 👀

    If true, then Miller has been in the Bitcoin market since 2015, which was the last time Bitcoin fell between $200 to $300 per coin. Miller claimed the average cost of his Bitcoin was about $500. Bitcoin is currently trading around $45,000, suggesting Miller has made about a 9000% gain, if he has held onto his investment.🚀📊

    Do you invest in Bitcoin also ?
