During this Bear Market, we thought everyone could use a xanax, a bottle of scotch and a six month coma from crypto. In lieu of that, here’s a little Hopium.
$100 of Amazon in 2000 💸
» What would a small investment in 2000 look like today ?
Why? To illustrate what an investment in BTC/ETH might look like in the future.
🔮 Here’s what we found:
$100 of Amazon purchased in Dec 2000, would have grown 215x 🔥 by 2021.
$100 ☞ $22,000 💰
THE BREAKDOWN:
The closing price for Amazon (AMZN) in 2000 was $15.56, on December 29, 2000. A $100 investment would have secured SIX shares of Amazon stock.
$100 dollars = ~6 shares. 😎
After the dot-com crash, it took Amazon 10 years to get back to its all-time high by 2009.
But by late 2009, Amazon took off. 🚀
And in the past decade, Amazon has grown north of 1,000%
Here’s the Breakdown:
2010 ☞ $200 (6 shares = $1,200)
2015 ☞ $500 (6 shares = $3,000)
2017 ☞ $1,000 (6 shares = $6,000)
2019 ☞ $2,000 (6 shares = $12,000)
2021 ☞ $3,700 (6 shares = $22,200)
If you went big and invested $1,000 in Amazon stock during the dot-com crash or anytime before 2009, you would’ve cashed in around $222,000 dollars 🔥
THE WRAP
Seeing your portfolio go down 80%+ is rough. It is like being tossed off a mechanical bull after multiple shots of tequila… it leaves a mark but you’ll probably survive. 🤕
If you think in Decades and not Days, you will probably be fine. Like Amazon, those holding crypto for the long-term (+10 years) will see that things will recover and their investments will 10x to 100x during the next Bull Cycle. 🚀
Just look at how Bitcoin continues making higher and higher lows!
