Yuri MolchanBitcoin is now bigger than Facebook
When compared to publicly-traded companies, Bitcoin is now bigger than Facebook, the largest social media network in the world.
Yesterday, the flagship cryptocurrency also managed to surpass Tesla, but the stock of the leading e-car manufacturer continued to grow with unbridled strength.
Bitcoin is still far smaller than Apple, the largest public company that is valued at $2.22 trillion.
The cryptocurrency also represents only a fraction of gold’s total $10.6 trillion market cap.
