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.
The quoted posts still says the same thing it is just simply trying to broaden the statistics to prove that it is not just this years occurrence but has been the best performing asset since its fifteen years existence, so it’s all the same. Personally I prefer showing statistics like this for over 4 to 5 years and this also goes to the investment plan time span, because this year and probably next year are bullish doesn’t mean you should do a yearly investment but rather have a longer term plan such that even if the year for the bulls doesn’t come others will cover it up.
Indeed bitcoin is a good investment, but let us not forget that putting all your apples in one basket is not a good idea. It is better to learn about possible investment options before stepping in to put money here and there. Pros and cons exist in every sector and even though on this forum the bitcoin investment might sound like an echochamber, outside the forum you will not find it to be so.
Although bitcoin volatility is which is its flaws is actually in a low of recent but still on that I have to agree with you that diversification most definitely to other assets outside digital currencies are what one needs to consider also, this gives you the opportunity to even be at peace while holding should any of the assets experience a down time
