Q3. Does the Modern Day Bitcoin behave more like a Speculative asset or Financial Asset?

This is determined by comparing the volatility, average returns, and positivity frequency of Bitcoin vs the S&P 500

mean(btc_returns, na.rm = TRUE)
## [1] 0.0005721713

## [1] 0.0002495662

On average, BTC performes stronger than the S&P500

Volatility

sd(btc_returns, na.rm = TRUE)
## [1] 0.02953908
sd(sp_returns)
## [1] 0.008971909

Volatility was calculated using the standard deviation of returns

BTC is much more volatile than the S&P500

Positivity frequency

This comparison shows how often returns are positive

mean(btc_returns > 0, na.rm = TRUE)
## [1] 0.4975342
mean(sp_returns > 0, na.rm = TRUE)
## [1] 0.5318979

The S&P500 has a higher percentage of returns being positive, meaning it is a safer, more reliable asset

Because BTC is much more volatile and lower positivity frequency, I concluded that BTC acts more like a speculative asset rather than a financial asset
