New York (CNN Business) The decade is almost over — and one incredibly volatile investment stood out from all the rest as the best of the 2010s. Bitcoin remains a highly speculative investment, but it has soared during the past decade as it emerged as the most-popular and widely accepted cryptocurrency. Ethnic conflicts, violence and instability in the nation formerly known as Burma have left a dollar invested in a kyat at the beginning of the decade worth just 4 tenths of one US cent today. The United States was the best stock market in the world, with $1 in American stocks now valued at about $3.46. Speaking of central banks, it may seem like US Fed chairs Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell have moved interest rates a lot during the past decade.
