I built WhatifBitcoin to Visualize Past Bitcoin Investments

[Ultegra134]

Great little website! Simple, minimalistic and straight to the point. If I'm honest, it is a little depressing, because it brings back all the memories of the early days of Bitcoin, thinking what we could have done differently, especially us who were in the scene since quite early. The $5 I had spent on my Minecraft account between 2013 to 2015 has now costed me over $1.500, probably making it one of the most expensive accounts ever bought. It's hilarious how easy it was to acquire Bitcoin less than 10 years ago, and how much things have changed in less than a decade.

2. You can click on a date and the calendar box will appear

3. You are right. Updated, will deploy soon 

2. I didn't notice such option. I only tried clicking calendar icon (left side of slider bar).
3. I see you already updated it.

And while i'm at it, you might want to replace some website mentioned on Bitcoin Sources section with websites such as,
https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/
https://learnmeabitcoin.com/

Hey, I love your site! I had sometimes used https://dcabtc.com/ to calculate on past investments but that site does not allow to calculate the investment with lump sums and I see that yours meets it perfectly. For me, these sites should help people to make realistic forecasts. Investing $1,000 at a time and investing $50 a month for a cycle is not going to make you a millionaire, for most mortals DCA is better but if you invest little it will take you longer to reach a significant sum.

Very thoughtful of you to have built such a platform that gives an overview of what one should expect . You deserve an award in the crypto community . This platform can help open the eye of new long term investors .

Your effort is commendable , good work deserve a hundred praise. This is a major contribution to making newbie have interest in bitcoins

I like the website's design. It's simple, it looks alright, and it's nice to play around with the numbers like that. I can see that there are also other interesting sections, like price predictions by famous and influential people, and a nice Bitcoin supply visualization.
The only thing I'm hesitant about is the impact. I mean, I don't think people should focus on regret, on how much money they could've made but didn't make. It should be an inspiration to move forward, not something to bring a person down.

I DCA for real to make some charts. Once a day, once a week, once a month and once in a while. No lies.

It prints a graph.

I think that you should move this thread on Project Development board, that will be more appropriate place for discussion.

Your project is amazing. I especially love the way you designed Bitcoin Supply Countdown. I think it will be good if you also include the portion of lost Bitcoins in red color in that supply. If you are a developer, this project is a good presentation of some of your skills, include this website in your portfolio.
Put donation address if you would like. I believe, some people might donate.

To be frank, your website makes me sad, especially when I set years to 2009, 2010, 2011.

The website looks great, but at the same time it can be a reminder to the missed opportunities we had along the way, and while this may not be too much of a big deal to some people, since they invested enough money in bitcoin to make a positive difference on their lives, there is also a large group of people that never did so or that lost their coins in some way, so those people need to be careful and let go of those feelings as it makes no sense to regret something that we cannot really change.

I just added DCA. More features to come 



Thank you for sharing ideas, guys.

You are awesome.

I've been thinking a lot about the moments we missed and the ones ahead.

So I made WhatifBitcoin.org - it's a quick way to see how past Bitcoin investments might look today.

Would love to hear your thoughts  

Is there something I can add to make it more informative for newcomers?  

It looks like a useful tool, but maybe I would add additional currencies other than US dollar, maybe Euro and some others could be good to have, or just add something like currency calculator/converter.
I know DCA means Dollar-Cost Averaging so that part doesn't have to be changed.

You could also add other Bitcoin price predictions, for example Hal Finney said this:

I came up with an even more extravagant estimate of $10 million a couple years ago on the cryptography list:

I compared the stock of bitcoins to total worldwide wealth, rather than GWP, which is the amount produced in one year.

as something of a designer myself, i quite like the design. simple, to the point, and easy on the eyes, though not so much on the heart. lol
i'm not one to regret things, but using the calculator and seeing the numbers, my disappointment in myself is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

it's a small detail, but please update the BTC in the favicon. that green reminds me of that parasitic shitcoin BCH.

Thats a pretty cool idea! Tools like that can be super eye opening, especially for people just getting into crypto.

I must say that the site is very stunning, so professionally made, and houses a lot of bitcoin related contents that are very informative, educative and useful to the core.

The only part I really don't like that much is the way back machine, tell us what would have been today if we invested a certain amount of money on bitcoin way back as far as 2010 till date.
I go through that and I am full of regret, i hate to go back to what is already past and gone, because regret is always majorly the outcome of doing such, and it could lead to further failures if the person will end up dwelling In that past, forgetting there is a future to work for.

Aside the above, the site is incredible to be honest, I love it and kudos for a great work there.

I had some free time in April and pushed some updates to https://whatifbitcoin.org

As always I am happy to if you can share anything that will help newcomers understand BTC better.

Thank you for awesome tips

If you are really the owner then I have to thank you from a deep bottom of my heart, you've done a wonderful job, I just bookmarked this website now, because one day we will look back at 2025 and said to ourselves again, oh I should have bought in 2025 and hold.

It is still very possible for BTC to hit 500k in the future, maybe by 2030 so don't let this present value makes you feel like you've missed out, talking to readers about this one, Bitcoin is a reliable source of keeping value.

Keep up the good work OP, well done again.

Would love to hear your thoughts  

You did a great work there which I believe will be inspiring to newbies when  visited your site.
Actually it still fumes my regrets not to had invested in the bitcoin earlier when it came across my attention but as well, it is encouraging that investing now is still not late because it has a lot of future potential promises which is worth enough to do away with my earlier regrets.

Thank you. I am sure it is never too late to get serious. BTC is timeless.

I had some free time in April and pushed some updates to https://whatifbitcoin.org

I just finished comparing it with an older archive from a few months back to figure out what's new and it appears that you've done a magnificent job there ^{[keep up the good work]}, but I noticed there's an issue in the projections calculator section... Specifically referring to the chart ^{[if you select any of the predictions from the year 2025, the chart in question vanishes]} and in addition to that, it also leads to a lot of repetitive data in the latter part of the same section ^[screenshot].

[SFR10]

Thank you. This was solved.

I confirm that the issue with repetitive data is fixed ^{[thank you as well]}, but the projection charts are still missing for 2025 predictions ^{[apart from McGlone's prediction that has already been reached, it'd be nice to see charts for the other three based on the number of months left]}.
^{- The only thing that's missing is probably a light/dark mode switch button.}
