5 Years of Volatility, $0 of Progress: We are officially back in 2021.
| Five years, a massive 2025 surge to $129,000, and a brutal correction later, we are staring at the same $67,000 baseline that defined 2021. This isn't just a coincidence; it is a full-circle reality check for the "forever up" crowd. Despite the institutional hype and the roller-coaster volatility in between, the net progress for a buyer today is effectively zero. We have essentially reset the clock, standing right back at the 2021 starting line with a portfolio that looks identical in value but has survived five years of absolute chaos. [link] [comments] |
