Would Have, Could Have, Should Have

Finding the best investment is never easy and only after you know if your choice was a good one, or now. Commodities, real estate, crypto? Which is the best? The simple answer to that question is it depends on what you're after, how much funds you have, how much risk you're willing to take and so on. The list is long and it's different for everyone.

Today I'm going to show you how much my money would have worth if I would have invested $10 each month in BTC for different periods

$10 in BTC For The Past 3 Years

I usually say that would have, could have or should have does not count as only counts what you do, but in this case it's a good example of how you could have multiplied your money.

As I have said earlier, this is the profit you could have maid in the past three years just by investing $10 in BTC/month. To make it more interesting, the charts compares the investment to gold as quite many are using the yellow precious metal as store of value.

To be more simple, here are the numbers. BTC compared to gold and USD. Even though BTC had around a 50% drop this year, it's still the best option of these mentioned above. You could have 3x your money opting for BTC.

$10 in BTC For The Past 1 Year

If we look at a smaller time frame, things are still looking good when BTC is compared to gold.

You could have still 1.5x your money.

$10 in BTC For The Past 6 Months

Those who got into crypto this year may get a different result.

If you look at the BTC chart (I know this chart so well I could draw it with my eyes closed), you can see that we started the year with BTC around $28,700 and we had a few months of BTC rallying to the ATH, then the 50% retrace.

BTC DCA shows a loss, compared to gold and USD on the last 6 months, but if you're in this for the long term, you know this should be seen as an opportunity and not a loss. It's a market correction which can't be avoided, but there are high chances to double your investment till the end of the year as that's what analysts are predicting.

$10 in BTC For The Past 9 years

Now let's look at a higher time frame, let's say 9 years. So investing $10 per week for the last 9 years, would have meant spending $4700 and having $1,309,995 in BTC.

In some countries $10 meant a fortune, but when you think of what $10 means per week in the US, Canada or other developed countries ... this is pocket money. People spend more on stupid, useless things all the time, without even thinking of how that money could be invested or what that amount could mean in a couple of years.

What Can I Do In The Future

There are people here who are investing in BTC each week or month, dollar cost averaging, as this platform says. They are not traders, don't care about earning 5 - 10% daily or weekly on price action swings. They buy and hodl.

Not long ago I had a post about how I'm planning to set up my retirement fund in BTC and ETH. These charts are the proof how much I would have had today if I would have started 9 , 6 or 1 year ago, and this is just the gain you would have coming from the price changes. You can also lock your assets on different platforms to earn yield. Now you tell me if this is good plan or not.

The "if only" syndrome especially with BTC. Imagine if one started that process with Bitcoin back in 2015. He or she would be sitting on a large pile of money right now.

Alas, we can only go from here forward. How about doing that with #hive? That might work out in a similar fashion down the road.

The problem with people is that they can't see the future. They rather look at the past and regret what they didn't do. When BTC jumped to $64k, they said I should have bought when it was ...

When BTC retraced to $32k or even lower, most were crying about the drop, instead of looking at it as a chance to buy at a 50% discount.

In any case, worth considering a plan like that as history shows it worth it. Never too late if you believe in these assets.

I still believe in the long-term potential of cryptocurrency so I have been accumulating a little bit whenever it's possible. I'm sure it's going to pay off in the future and the same goes for #hive!
