And when you zoom out further, the Bitcoin chart looks very different:
> 10 years ago, Return: 17,089%
> 9 years ago, Return: 3,280%
> 8 years ago, Return: 933%
> 7 years ago, Return: 860%
> 6 years ago, Return: 768%
So no, you are not early like the 2013 cypherpunk cave dwellers.
But you are also not late.
Bitcoin has already survived every “it’s over” cycle, every miner capitulation, every China ban, every exchange collapse, every macro panic, every “gold is better” take, and every bear market funeral.
And it is still here.
Maybe the real takeaway is not “Bitcoin lost to gold.”
Maybe the takeaway is this:
If gold can still do numbers at that size, Bitcoin’s long term upside as a harder, more portable, more liquid digital safe asset is still absolutely insane.
