Growth Rate: Bitcoin vs. S&P 500 and Gold

[LuckyCrypto777]

It took Bitcoin 14.3 years to grow 15,400x. By comparison, it took the S&P 500 98.7 years to achieve the same growth.

And it took Bitcoin 9.7 years to grow 100x. It took gold 55 years to achieve the same growth.

Bitcoin's limited supply and the speed of its adoption do their job.

What you will notice about the three is that they are all store of value. Bitcoin grew faster, but it is a new asset which makes it normal. That does not mean bitcoin will grow as it was in the past because its marketcap has significantly increased. Bitcoin is now in their category. It may not grow more than 50x in the next 50 years, and that is if it grows up to 50x.

It's more like Bitcoin fixed supply of 21 million than limited, although 21 million for the interested people world wide is limited but it's more of because people know the fixed amount of Bitcoin and they don't want to miss out that drives the high demand.
In conjunction with the fixed and limited supply the utilities of Bitcoin also drives the adoption.

You're comparing apples to oranges. Gold has thousands of years of history, and we don't have reliable data on the fluctuations in value that might have occurred during the “first” 10 or 15 years after it began to be used as a store of value a few thousand years ago. The S&P 500 is a different kind of asset, in my opinion. If you’re going to compare it to the stock market, you might as well look to see if you can find a former small-cap stock that skyrocketed in just a few years.

Overall, I both agree and disagree with you. I'd compare small-cap stocks not to Bitcoin, but to the growth of some altcoins.

Bitcoin's limited supply and the speed of its adoption do their job.

Only limited supply is not enough to make Bitcoin high value and you can see how many Bitcoin forks failed and died even they have same total supplies as Bitcoin has or some altcoins with smaller total supplies than Bitcoin but their coins don't have high value, even zero value.
