You're about to learn a lesson by missing a serious pump. Open coinmarketcap and test your theory with 1 BTC, let's say since 1/1/2014.

See how much BTC you're about to have today.

Good idea, i'll test it

I've run into a serious problem. And i'm aghast! Every source is showing different data. The historical (Open, High, Low, Close) prices shown on CMC, Yahoo, and other sources are all different! How can this be!

#Bitcoin price isn't set by some central authority. It is being traded for a different amount of dollars (or any other currency for that matter) at the same time. You can buy #Bitcoin the same second at two places and the price will be different.

The trading never stops so there's no official open/close position in a particular day.

Hahahaha, you won't believe the number i got in excel. Wait for it...

1 BTC traded using my method from Feb 2015 till today would become....Wait for it......

386, 569 BTC

I'm recalculating now taking into consideration trading fees, black swan events and HODL NO TRADE during pumps (since i will not be taking losses now, the figure will be even higher)

I have the data on Excel Sheet, i'm not joking.

Yeah, prices are different on different exchanges but more or less the same. I took the Yahoo data (which is same as CMC). I was mistaken earlier when i thought the data was showing different, it was not, i just selected Monthly low and high columns. I worked with the correct data.

I've been a pleb memer shitting on traders since 2013. Had i instead spent half a day on observing this trend instead of making those memes............sigh.

I'm not kidding, these numbers are true. 1 BTC would have become 386k BTC....sigh....

But anyway, lemme rework using the HODL NO TRADE periods where it is continually pumping like 2017 and 2021, as well as take hits on Elon Musk Tesla rugpull, 2020 Corona Black Swan crash, and 2018 crash, deduct for trading fees and come up with another number.

It's going to be even higher though.

What do you mean no trade within pumping. You can't know when the pumping starts or finishes.

One way or another, I would be interested to see the CSV file. 300k #BTC looks insane
