Forget bitcoin! I think artificial intelligence could be the next big growth sector

As ever, investors are always looking for the next big thing. In the last couple of years, there has been a considerable amount of interest in bitcoin. The virtual currency has increased significantly in value, but has also been exceptionally volatile. Some investors may have generated high returns from buying the cryptocurrency, while others are likely to have lost money after its decline from almost $20,000 in December 2017 to around $5,500 today. However, with bitcoin seeming to lack real-world potential in terms of its application, its appeal could be relatively limited over the long term.
