Cryptocurrency: Revolution, Risk or Just Speculation?

Cryptocurrency has produced some of the most extraordinary gains in financial history — and some of the most spectacular collapses. Bitcoin went from fractions of a penny to over $60,000. It also fell more than 70% twice along the way. Entire exchanges have imploded overnight, taking billions of pounds of investor money with them.
