With a long-term outlook, saving in bitcoin has historically outperformed saving in gold.
This chart shows a $50/week DCA into both starting in 2021. Even after bitcoin’s recent drawdown and gold’s strong rally, bitcoin still emerges as the superior long-term saving vehicle.
Stock2FOMO formula explained:
y(x) = y_i (2x_i/x - 1)^a
Time is anchored to Oct 4, 2009, where x = 0 and y = 0
With a < 0, the curve goes to infinity as x → 2x_i
x_i anchors the curve where y = y_i
y_i sets the scale
a controls the steepness
Spending the weekend merging related visuals into single grid cards. Open any card and cycle through all variants of that visualization using the dropdowns.
Pretty fun to watch the number of merchants on BTC Map explode over the past couple of years. I'll try to have an animated version of this dashboard ready to post by tomorrow. 🍻
The real reason I built this site was so I could check my updated Bitcoin charts on the road while keeping my Bitcoin node running safely at home. Glad some of you are enjoying it too. 🍻
There are now over 170 million OP_RETURN outputs on Bitcoin.
You can frame that as a success or a failure.
✅ Success: 170 million fake pubkeys didn’t bloat the UTXO set.
❌ Failure: 170 million pieces of non-monetary data still got on-chain.
It's officially been 300 weeks since 2020 began. Saving $50/week in bitcoin during that time would’ve turned $15k into 0.58 BTC, now worth over $63k. Saving in gold instead would’ve yielded 7.45 oz of gold, worth just over $28k.
Bitcoin’s clearly a superior savings technology.
