Context
Buying Bitcoin in 2020 meant entering near the COVID crash lows and riding the full 2020-2021 bull cycle. Even after the 2022 drawdown, this is one of the strongest entry years on record.
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.
