The stock market has performed very well in the past couple of years, and virtually anything investors have touched has turned to gold. In fact, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: SPY (NYSE:SPY)) total return since its COVID-19 bottom on March 23, 2000 is 83.6%.

However, as well as stocks have performed in the past two-plus years, most cryptocurrency returns have left the S&P 500 in the dust.

Despite the extreme volatility in cryptocurrency prices and the relatively limited utility of cryptos as actual currency at this point, cryptocurrency investors that bought in 2020 and held on for the long-term have generated tremendous overall gains.
