Stats like this is misleading, because it shows data that are cherry picked to fit the agenda of the poster. Yes, a long-term trader can be happy with those stats, but the short-term trader <1 year> will not be happy with these stats.
The statistics is not misleading (the conclusion is), if you follow price movement from 2009 then the data is not fake. But I agree some people might not like that because they "only choose data that fits their agenda", which is looking at 1 year price action. And it's clear that the OP want to give another perspective.
A drop from $18 000 to $3500+ is definitely not encouraging for any trader looking for a good investment.
People tend to look at the long-term performance of any stock, before they consider investing and that is the only positive thing that can be taken from this stats.
Depends on at what point you define long-term/short-term. If you look from the beginning, you already gain more than 3000x roi on Bitcoin, but there is always -90% decline after ATH, and 4 year cycle (mooning, ATH, drop, consolidation).
But yeah, it's unfortunate for people who bought at ATH. I can't imagine how they're feeling right now.
