It’s becoming increasingly hard for the middle class to get ahead. But there’s new hope on the blockchain. Originally posted on Huffpost:

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been on a tear lately, with many of the digital tokens hitting all-time highs. Many investors have been making fortunes overnight, in what is proving to be the most lucrative sector in finance. Even more impressive is the fact these instant millionaires are not only Wall Street traders, but average Americans.
Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly popular investment choice for the middle class. There are very few barriers to entry and because cryptocurrency can be purchased fractionally, there are options for every budget. Every day there seems to be a new story about an average Joe who bought some Bitcoin years ago for a few hundred dollars and turned that small investment into a fortune, buying a new house, car or retiring early.
Bitcoin is still a great investment, but at over $4,700, BTC might not see those same epic gains that made many people rich. Fortunately, the cryptocurrency sector is overflowing with opportunity and there may just be the “next Bitcoin” waiting to take off!
