Fool me once..?

The Nasdaq 100 concluded the year with a 32% downturn, ending its impressive run of 13 years of consecutive gains.

Here are the annual returns for Nasdaq 100 from 2008 to 2022:

2008: -42%, 2009: +55%, 2010: +20%, 2011: +4%, 2012: +18%, 2013: +37%, 2014: +19%, 2015: +10%, 2016: +7%, 2017: +33%, 2018: +0.04%, 2019: +39%, 2020: +49%, 2021: +27%, 2022: -32%

And here is Bitcoin's performance each year from 2011 to 2022:

2011: +1,317%, 2012: +218%, 2013: +5,428%, 2014: -58%, 2015: +36%, 2016: +120%, 2017: +1,375%, 2018: -74%, 2019: +95%, 2020: +305%, 2021: +83%, 2022: -64%

When considering the growth of an initial investment of 100€, the NASDAQ has provided a 4.8x increase over 14 years, amounting to 481€. In comparison, a 100€ investment in Bitcoin 11 years ago would have surged to a staggering 62,457x increase, amounting to 6,245,753€.

Traditional investment strategies might not offer an advantage in maximizing returns in the face of such disruptive technology. Instead, what counts in investments is comprehending market sentiment, regardless of governmental actions or public opinions about new technology.

Having been operational for over a decade, there's little reason why Bitcoin won't see positive returns. The asset is bound to instigate seismic shifts in the financial landscape. Being an observer is one thing, active participation is quite another.

Indeed, market downturns are as inevitable as night following day, yet such times present opportunities for acquiring more of the asset. And, when prices soar, holders stand to benefit from the increased value.

The challenge and opportunity alike lie in understanding the technology, immersing oneself in its intricacies, and leveraging its potential. A tokenized economy may be on the horizon, and the mission is to develop the necessary expertise to navigate this future.
