Wu said that Delphi Digital analyzed daily data since May 2016, backtesting all possible 5-year holding periods for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana (including staking yields for ETH and SOL). The results show that Bitcoin only had 11 periods with negative returns, with the worst case being buying at the peak on December 16, 2017, and selling at the low in 2022, yielding about -13%. Meanwhile, ETH and SOL had no negative returns in any period. Additionally, Bitcoin's median 5-year return exceeds 8 times, ETH approaches 13 times, and overall, long-term returns are significantly less sensitive to entry points than short-term returns.
