Do you know how crazy Bitcoin has been over the past ten years?



At the beginning of 2015, it was still hovering around $200. Now? $92,500. At its craziest, it surged 460 times. Even if you calculate conservatively, starting from the end of 2015, that’s 215 times, with an annualized return rate shooting above 70%. The annualized return over the past decade? 88%.

But the next ten years can’t possibly be this wild again.

If Bitcoin continued at an 88% annualized growth rate, by 2035, it would have to reach tens of millions or even over a hundred million dollars per coin—which would require all the world’s assets combined, and it still wouldn’t be enough. Clearly, that’s unrealistic.

So what’s a reasonable estimate? Two scenarios:

**Conservative view** (25% annualized): Around $920,000 by 2035.
**Optimistic view** (35% annualized): About $1.5 million.

The most reliable range? **$800,000 to $1.5 million**, corresponding to an annualized return of 20%-35%.

In short—as long as you still believe the US dollar will keep being printed, bailing out halfway could mean missing out big time. The story of Bitcoin is far from over.

460 times... How did I miss this opportunity? Why hadn't I heard about it back in 2015?

That 460x figure is making my head spin. Is it still not too late to get in now? I feel like I’m always doing it wrong.

460x is truly incredible, but I didn't expect 1.5 million. It still feels a bit too optimistic.

88% annualized? You’d have to stick with it until 2035, and all kinds of black swan events along the way could scare you out. --- $1.5 million sounds great, but who can guarantee not wavering for ten years? One policy shift and it’s all over. --- Buying at $200 in 2015 has made a killing now, but what about buying in at $92,500 now—where will you be in ten years? Are you mentally prepared? --- Instead of doing the math, ask yourself how many 80% drawdowns you can withstand—that’s the real skill. --- The dollar will keep being printed, that’s true, but BTC isn’t the only option out there—the competition is fierce. --- The $800,000 to $1.5 million range is ridiculously broad. What’s the reference value of these numbers? --- The key point is still this: whether you believe in the dollar printing press determines how much you should hold. --- People who got in back in 2015 are already financially free. Discussing the next ten years’ returns now seems a bit late. --- 460x and 215x returns are right there—just looking at history is astonishing enough. If the growth rate in the future reaches even half of what it is now, that’d be a miracle.
