Part 2/8:
Historically, Bitcoin and other asset classes have seen drastic fluctuations. For context, let's look back to 2011 when Bitcoin saw a massive explosion in value at nearly 100% for the year. Fast forward to 2014, it experienced a 58% decline, which can be unnerving for newcomers, or "normies," as they're often called. However, these drastic pullbacks are what excite seasoned investors because they understand the cyclical nature of the market.
When you zoom out and evaluate Bitcoin's performance over the years, it's clear that Bitcoin still reigns as the number one asset. As recently as 2024, Bitcoin gave a significant return of 121% annually, miles ahead of others like U.S. growth at 33% and gold at 26%.
