Examples

If you had purchased $1 USD worth of BTC in October of 2010, it would have been worth $100 by June, 2011. To go even further: If you had kept that Bitcoin until 2015, you would have started off the new year with over $2,000.

In October of 2010, you could have purchased 500 BTC for $50. With a bit of will and an awful lot of stubbornness, you would have been worth over 8 million dollars by the end of 2017. Today (on April, 1st, 2021), you'd be worth 29.4 million dollars.

On the other hand, if you had purchased $20,000 worth of BTC on December 17th, 2017, you would have had to wait 3 years to get your money back.

In the early days of Bitcoin, Reddit users would often tip each other with BTC as a "thank you". If a random user had tipped you 20 cent in June of 2011, it would have reached over $300 by December of 2017.

A person with 10K to spare in 2010 could have become a billionaire by 2017.

If Bill Gates got drunk and spent 1,000,000 USD on Bitcoin back in 2010, he'd have an extra 98 billion dollars in his pocket right now.
