I built WhatifBitcoin to Visualize Past Bitcoin Investments

[Big0ne]

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?

Damn, great job! On what did you build it? React + frameworks with the hooks, probably?

Super.
It gave me a nostalgic feeling going back to 2010ish when I was in college and  how much bitcoin I would have bought then and all of that. Here are some recommendations. Since you will have people from all over the world accessing the website, can you have more currency denominations? Secondly, since it is more like for newcomers to bitcoin, can you attached like some solid investment strategy because they will feel like they have missed the train and the investment strategy will be there to guide then on how to accumulate bitcoin.  For example the Dollar cost average strategy is one that will be very helpful.

Interesting site!  Kinda bums me out seeing what coulda happened, but also incredibly motivating!

For newcomers, maybe adding some context to the historical price data could be helpful. Could give them a better understanding of the "why" behind the price movements (like halvings or major news stories.)

Anyway, fun idea.  Surprised I havent seen something similar before.  Making me think maybe I should track my net worth this way, ha! Lifes ups and downs in technicolor.  Could be motivational or could drive me crazy. Hahaha!

The site had been visited by me and i see how you have done so well in putting up everything together, quite alright its informative and i like the whole of its appearance including the contents and the site accessibility, more information on how we could speculate, invest, and even study to know how to read the chart could be also put in consideration, because bitcoin is wide and through the search button, you may as well reference the forum in some certain aspects under the speculation board or here on bitcoin discussion board for already discussed subject matter.

It was a great job, making everyone who missed out on bitcoin regret what they had gone through. Apart from the main information about "What If", you also provide additional useful information such as bitcoin timeline, bitcoin supply countdown, predictions from experts, bitcoin ambassadors etc. I just joined the bitcoin community so i didn't think much about it, maybe one day i'll come across your website & regret for selling my bitcoins.

[Ambatman]

It is beautiful and easy to navigate, for newbie maybe add sources to books that could help in understanding the Blockchain or security like Mastering Bitcoin.
Or maybe Books like the Fiat standard by saifedean
Saifedean Ammous but that isn't behind a paywall.

Here are some of my thoughts.
1. The website design looks great.
2. It would be great if we can choose date by using text box (DD-MM-YYYY) or calendar toolbox rather than slider bar.
3. It'd be great if you replace text "Bitcoin Ambassadors" with "Bitcoin Figures", because newcomer may falsely assume they represent Bitcoin.

About Bitcoin Ambassador, I don't see Jameson Lopp who deserves to be here.

Another person is Anthony Pompliano

About Bitcoin Resources, I would like to suggest "Learn me a Bitcoin" and "End the fud".

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

3. You are right. Updated, will deploy soon

Awesome ideas. Working on the DCA right now and will update it soon. I want to get the logic right

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.

[Alone055]

It is very well done. I love the design. Did you design and develop that yourself or it is a template that you have edited and added your data?

I'm very impressed with its UI, but I'm curious to know the reason behind choosing a green favicon, as opposed to an orange one... Hopefully, it's not there to give the impression that it can only go up in value.
^{- BTW, With regard to the DCA part that you're currently working on, you might want to also add an end date.}

The historical data on "archived pages" of the New Liberty Standard ^{[first Bitcoin exchange]} might come in handy ^{[their data starts from "October of 2009 (roughly nine more months of data)"]}.

Awesome design, amazing work.

I love the way the page is designed, the red on the dark background looks amazing. There are two things that I particularly liked the most. The first one is the chart displayed from the date selected to the current date. The second thing is the circles showing the percentage of the predicted prices of people.

There are a couple of things that I wanted to mention. In the section where "Buy First Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin Wallets" are mentioned, I noticed that you didn't mention the most popular centralized exchanges such as Binance. I first thought that maybe because it requires KYC, but then I thought that even Cash App requires you to pass KYC before you can purchase Bitcoins and Kraken as well. I also believe that Electrum wallet deserves to have a number higher than 5, also, Electrum is also available on mobile, so you should add "Desktop/Mobile" in front of it.

I also had one suggestion about the chart if you can add it. I noticed that currently, the timeline is set to weekly which means the interval between shown price points is a week. Can you add more options for that such as 1D, M, etc.?

Nice one, buddy; others have already applauded you for your work above and the little time resources that you have spent there. 
 
Just a little thing I notice on the wallet section: BlueWallet is not just a mobile bitcoin wallet; they also have a desktop version of it, which I believe it will be nice to also note it there, just as you did for Nunchuk. Electrum also has a mobile version, which is only available for Android users.

Did you do it from scratch or used some designs in regards of the overall look? Not talking about the icons there.
Anyways, great job!

Wow! This is incredible, I love the layout and how much detail you put into this OP. One thing that I’m not so sure of is if people will elect to share their Bitcoin story with the amount listed haha

[o48o]

Nice! I would like to see an option to see how that compares to other investments though. In side to side with apple or nvidia stocks, bought at the same time and maybe visuals that represent the difference clearly (charts etc).

But i love the fact that you use examples like how many gaming rigs or restaurant visits you would get. That would be fun to see as in comparison in the start. Like how many cigarettes, expensive dinners you could buy with the initial investment during the time of initial investment, if you decided to buy something else.
