Bitcoin: Man Could Have Made $150 Million With Investment of $50,000

Investors who entered Bitcoin (BTC) more than a decade ago could have made millions if they had stayed invested for the long term.

One such investor revealed in 2013 that he purchased $50,000 worth of BTC and plans to hold it for ten years. The revelation was made on a Reddit thread 11 years ago, in which the investor confirmed that he put $50K in BTC and is both nervous and hopeful about the future.

Bitcoin Investment in 2013

Source: Reddit

Bitcoin traded between $20 and $800 in 2013, and the investor could accumulate anywhere between these numbers.

Even if the investor picked it up at its lowest, at $20, it would be an accumulation of 2,500 BTC. The 10-year investment plan could have paid off massively, generating life-changing wealth for himself and his children.

Potential Returns on Investment

If the investor had picked up Bitcoin for $20 in 2013 worth $50,000, his wallet could hold 2,500 BTC. The leading cryptocurrency traded around the $60,000 mark on Thursday, attracting bullish sentiments. Therefore, if the investor has held the asset until today, the $50,000 investment is worth $150 million.

Wealth Beyond Generations

That’s enough wealth that could last generations without needing to work. However, whether BTC will rise similarly in the next ten years remains questionable. Even accumulating a minimum of 10 BTC is beyond the budget for the average investor. The maximum a middle-class income-level trader could hold is probably 2 BTCs.

Market Impact

The cryptocurrency market has delivered similar returns to several investors who took an early entry position. The others who joined the bandwagon late are mostly sitting on bags with meagre profits. As Bitcoin has peaked, life-changing gains with generational wealth remain out of the box.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
