As bitcoin marks 10 years this month, the virtual currency may be the fraud of the century, depending on who you ask, or it could be a goldmine for early adopters.
Adventurous investors have already bought into the virtual currency and Wall Street is laying the groundwork for more wealth to flow into the cryptocurrency.
Near the end of 2017, bitcoin reached almost $20,000 in value amid a buying frenzy but it has since come down closer to earth and is now worth around $6,400.
