That’s another kind of investment you’re referring to- long-term investment. What OP outlined is more about the investment this year, where you buy at the start of the year and hold until a certain month, likely until September 30, 2024, which is the end of the third quarter. With that presentation, Bitcoin has already gained 49.2% this year, making it the highest in the list. For an investment with such a large market cap, that’s pretty impressive. So, if you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast, you’d see this as another victory for the entire ecosystem.
I agree with you and I meant it in my post too. With different time lines for their investments, they will have different exits, assume they have same entry, and different exits at different times will bring different results. Some will get loss, some will get profit more than others.
If we only look at 1 year or shorter period, Bitcoin can not be the best and we can find many altcoins outperform Bitcoin in one bullish year. But after 1 year and more years, altcoins can not beat Bitcoin that has been here since 2009, went through many black swan events but still been here and given very high ROIs for anyone can hold it for past years.
