Bitcoin: historical performance & « if you invested »

History since 2014 · current price $79,885
In short — $1000 invested in Bitcoin 5 years ago would be worth $2,755 today (+175%). Over 10 years, the average annual return is 69%/yr. Best year: 2017 (+1369%), worst: 2018 (-74%). Price return, excluding dividends.
⚠️ Extreme volatility. Bitcoin mostly tracks the Bitcoin cycle, not fundamentals: in our history, up to +300% one year and −80% another. Past performance means nothing here.
