How much would you have by buying 100 dollars in bitcoin per month over the years
Bitcon is famous for the roller-coaster ride that is investing in crypto or following its ups and downs over the years.
With this in mind, I have created, from my own personal experience, a way to follow its advances and setbacks and illustrate bitcoin’s volability in profit and losses. To illustrate this, I decided to create a resource that would answer a very simple question from an also very simple bitcoin operation: how much would I have today if I had bought 100 dollars in bitcoin every month for the past few years?
I started building this table in 2020, a very atypical year for bitcoin, with its huge losses out of the coronavirus global pandemic and its fluctuation because of that year’s halving, a recurrent update on bitcoin’s network that update its mining values and reverberate throughout the whole cryptocurrency’s network.
As I finished that year’s spreadsheet (with profit), I decided to keep going. Since then, I update this table monthly to keep my eyes on how much a simple HODL bitcoin investment would generate in profit (or loss) over the years.
Even though bitcoin as a digital currency has faced its share of resistance from big financial players and organizations, the biggest (and original) cryptocurrency also escalated its visibility, ecosystem and influence on established finance operations. A few examples of its growth: being adopted by PayPal, by a whole country, and the boom of digital currencies and operationg services and companies attest to the vigorous curiosity, and very real results, from bitcoin, be them positive or negative, depending on the strategy. Even presidential elections have become linked to their views, and impact, on bitcoin’s network.
Is this a one way ticket towards technology and development of a true independent financial system? Only time will tell, which is something that makes this simple, but efficient, tracking of its results even more interesting for me.
To create this spreadsheet, I have used the following parameters:
- I started on January 6th, 2020;
- I have considered buying 100 dollars in bitcoin every 30 days, no matter its value;
- For conversion, I have tried to use bitcoin’s highest value in US dollars on buying and end results days; because of its fluctuation, even minutes might cause a huge difference on results, be mindful of that;
- I have included buying and selling fees (0,1% per transaction) and withdrawal fees for results (US$ 3);
- Numbers were rounded down from their original value.
Disclaimer: before checking out these results, please take into consideration that this is a simple simulation do illustrate a possible outcome from investing in bitcoin by holding value.
I’m sharing this for its illustration purpose, not as a recommendation or a guaranteed winning formula, especially given bitcoin’s high risk, high volatibility factors. Please, do your own complete research before going in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency stake.
