To be fair, "missed" is a wrong word here. It's still a great way to make money, surely it is not as great as it used to be , that time is gone, you are not going to make x100 return, but if you can make about 6-7x return every 4 years, is that really bad? By that logic, if you invest 100 bucks today, in 4 years that will be 600 dollars, and in 8 years it will be 3600 dollars, and in 12 years it will be 21600 dollars, and in 16 years it will be 129600 dollars and in 20 years it will be 777 thousand dollars.
So you see, a mere 6x in 4 years, which is what we average at least (normally even more) we are doing awesome in 20 years, so it is not too late. I would say the compound increase calculated would make it amazing, as long as we just keep on investing and holding.
Is it really easy to make profit from bitcoin? Can we really achieve 6-7x returns every 4 years?
Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. Because if I remember correctly the bitcoin price in October-November 2021 was above $60k. But bitcoin is currently trading at $112k, which means those who invested at that time didn't even make double the profit.
Bitcoin can't even double in the 4 years from 2021 to 2025. Do you think bitcoin can rise in price and reach $600k in the next 4 years?
