This is cool, in a somewhat masochistic sense. Some of us do this kind of mental math all day long. But here’s a proposal on how to extend this.

Background/motivation: Many people think about that one btc purchase they almost made, but never did, and they do the math of what would happen if they just held until present day. But in reality, most of these people would have had “paper hands” and generally reduced their positions along the way.

So with some modifications, your code could answer the question of “what if I allocated X% of my portfolio to BTC and rebalanced to target that allocation every Y months?” Which, I think, would be a more reasonable approximation of people’s wealth trajectory, if they had bought in a certain point in time. (If you want to make this even fancier, you can account for the fact that after the first 1-10M, you can start swinging for the fences and leave higher allocation to crypto)


Well it's not "too late" when the entire market and everything is going down after breaking another all time high.

Everything dropped in March 2020 and that was the biggest golden opportunity to invest in crypto. At today's prices? Certainly not just yet, but I would wait again when everyone really is feeling in the 'bearish' mood of crypto.


Where's doge


Doge is probably too dodgy...
