S&P 500 Returns And BTC returns over the years

Hey guys, I have found some really interesting statistics about the S&P 500 index returns over the last 100 years. Yes, the S&P 500 was created 66 years ago, but in these statistics, it has been extrapolated backward to several decades earlier for performance comparison purposes.

I will start from negative to positive:

-40%: 1931

-30% to -40%: 1937, 2008

2023 | 156%

1929-1932: Great Depression
1939-1941: World War II
2000-2002: Tech bubble
late 2019 to mid 2021 Covid lockdowns and infinite central bank printing

Over the past 100 years, the S&P 500 posted a positive return approximately 72% of the time.

We have 69 positive years and 26 negative years

Bitcoin has experienced three negative years and eleven positive years. During each bull run, we witness remarkable returns; however, it is noteworthy that the returns tend to be lower than those observed in the preceding cycle.

So guys what that means for me is that if you invest in bitcoin or invest in S&P 500 in the long run your money will yes Bitcoin still offers high returns with higher risk and the traditional market lower returns with lower risk but at the end of the day don't keep your money sidelined invest and this is what you will get.

What are your thoughts?
