What would happen if a immortal man named Peter owned 10 grams of gold back when gold was still money and he held on to it according to law.

Back then – 10 grams of gold = about 0.32 oz. At the fixed price of $20.67/oz, that was worth $6.64.

1933 – The U.S. made it illegal for citizens to own gold. Peter had to swap his gold for $6.64 in cash.

Today – The same gold would have been be worth about $780.

Peter’s cash is still $6.64

Which is about in today’s buying power $160

But...

If in 2010 – Peter had used his $6.64 to buy Bitcoin at around $0.08 each, he’d own about 83 BTC, worth roughly $5 million today.

Or...

If in 2011 – At an average of $1 per BTC, Peter would have bought 6.64 BTC, worth roughly $160,000 today.

Moral of the story? You tell me...
