Did you receive a $1,200 stimulus check back in April 2020?

You could have bought 0.13909818 #Bitcoin with that check back then.

Today 0.13909818 Bitcoin is worth $9,737.

The $1,200 from back then has the value of $950 today.

Maybe you should get off zero and buy Bitcoin.

This is great, thanks for putting it into perspective. What was the math used to get to that debased number?

I used an inflation calculator to find the inflation rate from 2020.

It said that if you bought something in 2020 for $1,200 it would cost $1,453.79 in 2024, which is a 21.1% increase.

So if you multiply $1,200 by 78.9% you get $946.80.

Then I just rounded to $950.

There are many inflation calculators out there. Some give slightly different numbers.

Here's the one I used.
