I Analyzed the Compounding Effect of BTC and S&P 500, and Oh My God…

I’m not going to waste your time, so here’s everything briefly.
Since 1957, the S&P 500 has delivered an average annual return of 10%. Bitcoin has shown an average annual growth rate of around 100% since 2011. Though its growth has slowed to an average of 46.59% since 2017, Bitcoin still offers substantial upside. For a conservative estimate, I used a 40% annual growth rate. Over 10 years, a $10,000 investment in VOO, which tracks the S&P 500, would grow to $25,937.42—roughly 2.6 times the initial amount. The same investment in Bitcoin could potentially grow to $289,254.65, achieving a nearly 29-fold return. Looking at a 20-year horizon, $10,000 in the S&P 500 could increase to $67,275. In contrast, the same investment in Bitcoin could exceed $8.3 million.
If you’re extremely conservative and want minimal exposure to Bitcoin, then over the past five years, allocating just 25% to Bitcoin and 75% to the S&P 500 would have doubled the returns compared to a full allocation to the S&P 500. A balanced approach, with 50% in each, would have resulted in more than triple the growth.
