If You Bought Your Mom $100 In Bitcoin, Dogecoin And Ethereum Last Mother's Day, Here's How Much She'd Have Today

Roses are red, violets are blue, flowers are overrated, does Mom want crypto from you?

If you’re struggling with what to get your mom for Mother’s Day, a gift of cryptocurrency is an option. Here’s a look at whether a gift of crypto on Mother’s Day last year would have been a good investment.

What Happened: Mother’s Day is being celebrated today. While many will get their moms flowers and a card, another option is buying shares of some of the most valuable and most well-known public companies. Others might consider gifting their moms cryptocurrency as a long-term bet on a rebound over the coming years.

Mother’s Day was designated an official holiday by then President Woodrow Wilson in 1914 and is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Last year, Mother’s Day was celebrated on May 8, 2022. Here’s a look at how an investment and gift in three leading cryptocurrencies at that time would be worth now.
