The best tech-investment of the 2010s decade was Bitcoin

In terms of how long it maintained its $100 billion valuation, Bitcoin has outperformed every tech company that existed, claims Balaji Srinivasan.

Bitcoin's performance beats every tech company, ever.

Balaji Srinivasan, the former technical director at Coinbase, said that out of all of the tech companies with billion-dollar valuations, Bitcoin is by far the biggest.

Is Bitcoin truly the biggest unicorn of the last decade?

Despite Srinivasan's view of Bitcoin being on par with the market's sentiment, his tweets were met with a lot of criticism.

Many others criticized Srinivasan's view, saying Bitcoin was everything but a company.

The former Coinbase CTO stood by his words saying that looking at Bitcoin purely as a tech investment, it is by far the best of the decade.

Many users said that disrupting the traditional monetary system is what made Bitcoin the main driving force of the decade.

TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington praised Bitcoin for democratizing and decentralizing the investment process.

While comparing the world's first truly decentralized protocol with a traditional corporation is a bit far-fetched, few can deny the impact Bitcoin had on the past decade.
