Context

2015 was the bottom of the post-Mt.Gox bear market. Bitcoin traded mostly in the $200-$400 range — a dollar invested then has produced one of the most asymmetric returns of the modern era.

Why this matters

A simple buy-and-hold result like this is only one outcome of many. Real investors make decisions over time — they take profits, they panic-sell, they buy more on dips. The scenario builder lets you test those decisions on the same data and see how they would have changed your final outcome.
