Since 2011, Bitcoin has crashed:
2011: -93%
2013: -83%
2017: -84%
2021: -73%
Every single cycle felt like the end.
Headlines screamed. “Dead.” “Bubble.” “Scam.” Over and over again.
And yet, over roughly 15 years, Bitcoin has increased around 400,000x.
Let that sink in.
The volatility is the price of admission. You don’t get generational upside without brutal drawdowns. The people who focus only on the crashes miss the bigger pattern: higher highs over time.
Most investors quit during the -70% to -90% phases. That’s why they never experience the exponential phases that follow.
$BTC remains the best-performing major asset of the last decade not because it avoids crashes, but because it survives them.
Volatility shakes out the weak hands. Time rewards conviction.
The chart looks violent zoomed in.
It looks unstoppable zoomed out.
