Great post with an Interesting correlation and I can say gladly that bitcoin is as yet on the top. I wish some bitcoins haters like the government and bank can check this Interesting correlation and take their conversation back against the bitcoins. They ought to acknowledge that bitcoin is the future and can assist us with improving our future. There was a time when nobody like bitcoin and consistently chuckles at whatever point somebody talks about it. However, presently bitcoins snicker on us, and the majority of us lament for not contributing to it.

What I learned from the nature of human life, being haters will forever be haters until he feels the benefits. Humans live only for benefit. When they haven't got it, humans will continue to say nothing important. They just lack literacy with BTC, and when they already know what investment is the most profitable right now is Bitcoin, then haters become lovers. So just ignored it. BTC will always shine even though many haters have bad comments. I've received so many benefits from BTC that I think this is the best choice.

In essence, can we now conclude that every individual in crypto is just after strategy to amass wealth because the government couldn't allow us in a centralized world.
It's now easier for everyone to talk about Bitcoin with our speaking about the fundamentals and its purpose perhaps the Fomo has blinded many.
The funny thing you here in crypto communities, is that everyone now claim to be a pro since it's easier to predict BTC movements.

Really interesting growth. Some people may get the wrong idea about this post and think it is some more reason for them regretting not buying these assets but to them I say this saying, "The best time to invest was 10 years ago. The other is now." so even at this high of a growth we can still expect more to come in the future. Be inspired to turn your life around away from the 9-5 shift that barely gets you anywhere.

A lot of entities are already seeing the power of bitcoin and have FOMOed since last March, ever boosting the price of bitcoin to the heights it reached as of today. Governments have been doing their best and hardest to impose regulations on cryptocurrencies to control them and profit from them but to no avail.

the people who bought either these stocks or crypto at the time when these still arent mainstream thing definitely have the guts and money to do so. if time were rewinded i'd sure 100℅ that most of us still doesnt even give a glance to all these stocks but instead fulfilling our primary needs. Seeing from different point of view, I guess bitcoin price as of now is really justified considering how stocks are doing the same feat.

Need to remember that a lot of people invested in Apple, Amazon.etc, when the stocks were not even available. Venture capitalists made their investment many years before these corporations got listed in the stock exchange. And obviously they got better returns when compared to the others who invested in the IPO, or in the stock after it was listed. The current phase of Bitcoin can also be compared to this pre-IPO phase for the corporations.

Stocks are indeed profitable but looking how Bitcoin dominates the whole market, I regret not to know Bitcoin on that early stage. Anyway, we still have time to invest and look forward for the next five years since many still believe that Bitcoin can go higher as much as $100k, better not to lose the chance again.

This is a completely invalid way to predict future price movements/evaluate fundamentals/analyse the soundness of each investment.

IMHO, Bitcoin should not even be viewed in the same category as these other assets such as equities. Bitcoin should be seen as a store of value, and its fundamentals should be evaluated by adoption rates, network use, and its ability to hold up against inflation. Company valuations are completely different - the general accepted standard is to evaluate it based on projected future cash flows.

To compare them based on price gains is utterly ridiculous and you go nowhere with it. "Mr. Market" is unpredictable and short term gains (as BTC has experienced over the past few months) can skew results significantly.

The way bitcoin has performed for 5 years is outstanding. Not many assets give such a great return as bitcoin does. But you can deny the truth that many people have lost their money in bitcoin. In spite of being pumped recently, the number of people who hate bitcoin still increases.

It would be nice to get to see the source of the data but still this is impressive growth, if anything I am surprised there are some stocks that are kind of close to the performance of bitcoin but that is because you are comparing the performance of the last 5 years, if this was a comparison of the first decade of bitcoin against almost any other asset we will see that nothing has been more profitable than bitcoin during the past decade, and there are reasons to think that this decade could still see bitcoin being the best performing asset in the entire world.

You should compare Apple to Apple and not with Oranges. Many of the companies that are listed by the OP went for their IPOs, years after they were formed. On the other hand, Bitcoin was first mined in 2009 and it was traded for the first time within a few months after that. If you really want to compare, then the comparison should be made with corporations such as Apple and Amazon after taking their pre-IPO prices.

5 years is a heck of a long time and not everyone would have the chance or the liberty to keep their investments for that long. Let alone $1000 which in some countries are a huge sum of money. A volatility chsrt would justify the things I mentioned above. Although it does feel kinda bad that I hadn't held on to my coins and assets which could've raised me to the upstream by now. We do miss all the chances we do not take.

Comparing Bitcoin and Shopify,

If you had 1,000 USD 5 years ago, and as a person who seeks security, Bitcoin wasn't a viable option. I'm basing it on an average person who works 8 hours a day. Bitcoin was very volatile during those days and also, people don't know how it works and it was very new, immature.

But Shopify was very promising since day 1. Because of the proof their competitors had and was most likely raised a lot of people to poverty
than Bitcoin. And on the other side, Bitcoin really is rewarding, but only for those who believed and knew the potential.

This too! Not everyone had the chance to even know bitcoin way back in 2010, and $1000 is a big amount of money, so they would most probably have used the money for something else.

It is scary to think how we are getting a lot more house tied because of economical situations, probably some preference as well but I assume economy plays a big role as well. Etsy got bigger, why? Because buying the same thing on some store would cost more, and etsy is unique as well so it is a lot better, same for shopify, buying things at home, for far cheaper as well.

Netflix got bigger, because going to a movie is now a lot more expensive and also a lot more tiring, whereas you just netflix and chill at home. Nvidia, amazon, facebook, google there are just too many companies that shows that we like to stay at home and those companies got bigger. Sure tesla is in there as well but that is probably because they changed the car industry a lot. On the other hand bitcoin increasing a lot is also another reason why we are moving more digital as well.

OP is not making the correct comparison. In 1997, Kleiner Perkins got 14% ownership of Amazon, for $8 million. At current prices, the 14% stake would be worth $223 billion, which represents an increase of 2,782,500%. Similarly, in 2005 Yahoo got 40% ownership of Alibaba for $1 billion. The same stake would be worth $255 billion at current levels. This represents a ROI of 25,500%. I can give you dozens of similar examples.

No one was investing $1000 in bitcoin ten years ago, so there's really no point in running the calculation because it's a hypothetical with no real world implication.

Sure they were. Ten years ago, BTC was entering it's first bubble. There were lots of people chucking in a thousand bucks. Here's one guy I remember from my early days. I used to follow his "Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP" thread before I joined the forum:

It would be also a good comparison if you will make another comparison if someone invests with the same amount 10 years ago. There will be a massive gains for bitcoin on that chart and looking into other stocks, I don't think that there be any of them that can par with bitcoin.
Even with this simple chart for 5 years ago, shopify was the one that's close to it but that's not yet enough to par bitcoin. I've thought that Amazon took a lot of gains for the past 5 years and would be at the top of this but I'm wrong.

No one was investing $1000 in bitcoin ten years ago, so there's really no point in running the calculation because it's a hypothetical with no real world implication. The people who made millions either mined coins back when it was easy to do so, or bought them a few bucks at a time, which even then was no better than buying a virtual in-game currency with about as much real world use for it too. That it became valuable is just dumb luck.

Interesting comparison, it would be nice to see a volatility index alongside it. It would also be interesting to see a year on year comparison as well, to see how much of the gains came from certain years. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I still think it is sensible to have a fair chunk invested in the stock market in dividend bearing companies - that way you have a steady return from company profits without having to sell anything off.

Dividend bearing companies are generally terrible stock options. Yes, it's nice to bank that guaranteed return, however if you look at their long term stock market trends, their growth is generally so anemic that you are losing money over time (or barely growing) as the stock price decreases.

Bitcoin 100%. The US stock market is an artificial bubble that will burst when they inflate themselves into Venezuela.

I think the list is missing alternative cryptocurrencies. Since if we take a five-year period, then in my opinion, more money could be made on alternative cryptocurrencies. The price of the same Litecoin reached 1.4$ in 2015, and now it is trading at 120$ and above, and there are a lot of such examples. Bitcoin in this case acted as the flagship behind which the rest of the cryptocurrencies were moving, and by itself it has grown a lot, but not as much as some alternative cryptocurrencies.

5 years ago it would have been somewhere in late 2016 when the price of BTC was close to $1000, so the OP should have been more precise because the profit in that case is 50% lower. Namely, there is a big difference in terms of price in just 2 years, because during 2015 the price of one BTC was even below $200, so if someone invested $1000 at that time and bought about 5 BTC, today that investment would be worth about $125 000.

If we went even further into the past, more precisely in 2013 - then the ROI would be higher than 9000% today. Stocks and BTC are two different worlds, and each of these companies has a much higher risk of failing at any time for any reason.

Who would have thought, right? I got into Bitcoin almost 5 years ago and it was beyond my crazy imagination that Bitcoin would reach $24,000 a few years later. I guess many people weren't looking forward to a $24,000-Bitcoin at that time. While many were generally positive on Bitcoin's future, they must have sold a lot when their Bitcoin investment already doubled or tripled in value.

Well, lucky for those who have held on to their Bitcoin all these years. As for me, I learned a precious lesson. If $24,000 is possible in a decade's time, $30,000 is possible in a year's time.

No one would've thought because if everyone speculates about the increase in prices then the proportion of people becoming more doubtful about the price increase increases also. The best thing to do right now would be to hold what is in your wallet or go all the way and sell everything whenever you feel that it will be enough. The lesson that I have learned so far is not be extreme when it comes to being optimist and pessimist, always consider that both scenario can happen.

that's why some parties are trying to consider bitcoin as the future investment. That looks very interesting to see that. Even people have invested when the price of bitcoin was around 10k can still get 240% return in a short time.
Bitcoin is not yet adopted by a lot of big parties and when these parties will bring multi-billion dollars for bitcoin and I expect 5 years ago when people bought 1k worth of bitcoin will be $100k.

Bitcoin is on a different level compared to stocks, its growth over time is impressive, yet the volatility may hit harder when the time comes.
If we think about institutional investors and traditional payment companies adopt bitcoin as one of their options to bet on for the future, why they want to do it?
Probably the same reason that we have all the time, could it be the future of an alternative payment for fiat currency? a question to be answered by time.

Hello

I do think that you should make this list a little bit longer and at the same time you should publish it publicly on some site, Now What Would it do ??

- This would make people realize that Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are something that can make them understand the value in just a couple of years.

The thing is , if we could see stats of a person who invested in 2009, 2010 , the results are actually going to be astounding.

Let's consider this now :

Quote

The first real price increase occurred in July 2010 when the valuation of a bitcoin went from around $0.0008 to $0.08 for a single coin.

(Taken from google)

Let's consider you brought $1000 worth of bitcoins back when it started , then you will have :-

1000/0.0008= 1250000 BTC
Now if you 😂 do the maths , the value of those bitcoins that is :
1250000*24745 =30931250000 USD !!!

This would have made you a millionaire!!! According to me Bitcoins is one of the best investments one can make during this time. Even during the holiday season we have seen a really stable price.

The calculations proves how solving human problems yields profits and real time gain, Shopify and Bitcoin are the only investments that gave over 2000% profit in just 5 years and the don't need physical appearance necessarily. The stock market isn't as profitable as it used to be years back, so, I'm not a bit surprised with the result ROI.

The risk of buying Bitcoin 5 years ago was pretty big, and even today it's big too. Unlike with stocks, there no way to calculate how much Bitcoin should be worth, everyone is just taking a guess.

There is no intrinsic value, sure, but there are some thought experiments built around the idea of mass adoption that I think are informative.

For example, if everyone in the world wanted to own some BTC, there would only be 0.002-0.003 BTC per capita to go around. That means if you own 1 BTC (and manage to hold onto it into the new paradigm), it would likely put you within the purview of the world's financial elite.

Or consider the idea of central banks holding Bitcoin reserves. Today, they hold 17% of the world's gold. Just imagine them trying to obtain a few million BTC from the market.

We can only guess, but we also know the potential growth from here is insane. The sky is the limit.

I think bitcoin coefficient of volatility stands at 150% for the period five years ago while today it stands at 50%. So the volatility has reduced a lot for the bitcoin if you compare periodic trends.

I am not sure about other stocks but they would never ever match the CoV of bitcoin since it's but obvious due to controlled nature of stocks.

@op that's amazing comparison and states how bitcoin is far more profitable than any other currency, commodity, assets or bonds throughout globe. It's powerful stuff. :-)

LOL.. the OP had carefully chosen year 2015 as the base. Back in 2015, we were having a very severe correction and the prices were down by 85%. If you take 2014 as the base year, then you will not get this much return. Anyway, you can't compare Bitcoin (which has been in existence for just 12 years), with stocks such as Amazon, Apple and Paypal which have been in existence for many decades. These stocks also gave very good returns, for those who invested in them during the early years.

Well, there's also the factor of time to consider tbh. Yes, it's quite obvious as a fact that Bitcoin as an investment in any time before today except the bull run in 2017 would show that investments would prove to be quite a profit, but let's also take into account how much of a bloody risk it was to invest in a completely unknown asset that, well, is quite revolutionary. Especially for people driven by profits, it's quite difficult to invest, even if it was only a part of their assets, to something they don't know much and is the first of its kind to actually come out.

Well, right now I'm also hoping to profit off of it though, hodl late, but hey, at the least it's a start right?

5 years ago, people are laughing at bitcoin because it's one of those investments that saw rapid decline from its 2013 ATH. Everyone at that point thought bitcoin was far gone, and would not survive the pressure from people who continuously sold whatever bitcoin they have left. I was one of the 'wiser' people who believed in it despite the general bearish sentiment towards bitcoin from this very forum. It paid off 2 years after, and have changed the way how I use my money. Also, shopify is not surprising to be at the top of the list, considering how drop shipping and e-commerce picked up the pace that was left stagnant by eBay and Amazon for quite some time.

Even with this simple chart for 5 years ago, shopify was the one that's close to it but that's not yet enough to par bitcoin. I've thought that Amazon took a lot of gains for the past 5 years and would be at the top of this but I'm wrong.

snip..

Bitcoin was the least interesting in investors 5 years ago of everything on the list but proven by the data is the most profitable asset. a habit that always recurs is Bitcoin will be in demand when the price is high. Bitcoin will definitely break through $ 25k soon..

Providing graphs and data like the price of each stock/BTC during purchase date then sold date will make this thread educational. You are providing data without source to easily verify your content. This thread is a very good comparison of investment in stocks to BTC, You just need to add more data to support it.

That's a nice list. Imagine if you bought all of these stock's. It's good to know that behemoth like apple or amazon still made a decent return over the last 5 years. Bitcoin is definitely the best investment here and you don't have such high risks like when investing in some stocks.

Bitcoin was one of the top choices for me and rightly so even this chart confirm the decision was correct. Just in order to diversify and not to keep allocation under one thing, we need to even invest some in stocks too but bitcoin is where you should have a greater allocation based on the risk. For longer term holding bitcoin is always favourable than stocks to me.

that's why some parties are trying to consider bitcoin as the future investment. That looks very interesting to see that. Even people have invested when the price of bitcoin was around 10k can still get 240% return in a short time.
Bitcoin is not yet adopted by a lot of big parties and when these parties will bring multi-billion dollars for bitcoin and I expect 5 years ago when people bought 1k worth of bitcoin will be $100k.

Interesting comparison, it would be nice to see a volatility index alongside it. It would also be interesting to see a year on year comparison as well, to see how much of the gains came from certain years. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I still think it is sensible to have a fair chunk invested in the stock market in dividend bearing companies - that way you have a steady return from company profits without having to sell anything off.
