Two of the most talked-about assets of the past year sit at opposite ends of the performance table right now. SpaceX (SPCX) just completed a record-shattering IPO and has been ripping higher ever since, while $Bitcoin — the original "number-go-up" asset — is actually well below where it traded a year ago. So if you had money to put to work, which one would have rewarded you more?
Let's run the numbers on both, using a clear apples-to-apples comparison: a SpaceX investor who bought at the IPO launch versus a Bitcoin investor who bought one year ago, both measured against today's prices.
