Title: How one eyed financial pieces are

"Consider for a moment that $100 parked in the S&P 500 at beginning of 1965 would be worth an astounding $9,841 by the end of 2013. This is a distinctly clear display of the true beauty of both the American economy and the rewards of buy-and-hold investing.

But what would that same $100 be worth if it was put into the hands of Warren Buffett at Berkshire in 1965?

Words don't do it justice: $693,518."

so over with buffet 50 years you get a 7000x return.

BTC on first listing, circa 1400BTC per USD.

now $400~$500 = 1 BTC in what 6 years is a 700,000x return.

This is 3 orders of magnitude greater than Buffet.
