Using 5 years timeframe, Bitcoin price as of August 1, 2020 was around $12,000
Bitcoin price as of August 1, 2025 $114, 000 = 890% ROI
This stat will not be used to calculate for the next 5-10 years but it is realistic to measure upto X5-X10 within the interval of 10 years.
In this course, entry price matters.
Yes, entry prices are the main factor determining our profits over the next 10 years. Because in your example, those who bought bitcoin at $12k on August 1, 2020 would have made a profit of almost 900%. But in another example and in a 4 year time frame from 2021-now, people who bought bitcoin in November 2021 at $69k. The profit they earn is only about 70%, and this is not an attractive profit when they have to hold it for 4 years and face many ups and downs that the market brings.
Therefore, the rate of return and the level of profit we receive over the next 10 years will depend largely on our entry prices.
