Ok...
Explain this to me, if I am missing the point here or not.
If I have $100 back in 2009 and I kept it in a bank, I would have received interest. {insert someone with the knowledge of the average interest rate for small deposits since then} Do the calculation for us, with accumulated interest.
Then I invested the same $100 in 2009 in Bitcoins. What would my returns be in today's valuation?
What would have been the better investment? {Would surely be "Bitcoins"... but with how much compared with accrued interest, month on month}
Let's see, who can work this out, best.
Also keep in mind the interest paid on bank deposits is usually close to the inflation rate so it's possible that your money wouldn't have really "grown" that much, if at all.
