I have always felt that when evaluating an asset, don't ask:

How much can it rise at most?
Instead ask:
How much position dare you give it?
Meme coins can go up 100x.
Recent AI stocks doubling or tripling in a year are also common.
But do you dare to go all in?
Do you dare to use 3x leverage?
Do you dare to hold it for a year?
If the answer is no, then these gains are just numbers to you.
Bitcoin is different.
It may not be the asset with the highest returns,
but it is one of the very few assets that allows people to comfortably take heavy positions, and even moderately use long/short leverage to survive cycles.
What truly determines wealth is not the rate of return.
It is: rate of return × position size × holding time.
That is also why I have always believed that Bitcoin is the best vehicle for wealth for ordinary investors.
