Ever wonder what would've happened if you threw just $100 into Bitcoin back when the bitcoin price in 2008 was basically nothing? I was scrolling through some old data and the numbers are absolutely wild. Someone who grabbed 1,667 BTC for a hundred bucks at $0.06 each would've seen that investment balloon to nearly $80 million today. Not exaggerating. By 2012, that same stack was worth anywhere from $7k to $444k depending on when you checked. Then 2017 happened - suddenly it's worth over $32 billion at the peak. Insane. 2021 took it even further, hitting $115 billion in November. Even in 2023, after the bear market, it was still north of $76 million. Now with Bitcoin trading around $80k, we're looking at an absolutely astronomical return on that original hundred dollar bet. The crazy part? Most people had no idea what Bitcoin was back then. If you'd actually had the guts to buy at those prices, you'd be generationally wealthy right now. Makes you think about what the next 10x opportunity might be hiding in plain sight.
