"Invest in index funds, because you're protected through diversification and you earn a good return over the long term."

- probably your financial advisor

This is the SPX total return measured in USD (top line) and in Gold (bottom line). How's that 8-10% per year, adjusted for inflation, "return" going for you? 🤡

I want a chart with 3 lines:

Stocks(Dow/s&p/whatever) in USD,

Stocks in Gold,

Stocks in bitcoin.

This chart, if it exists, will convert more stonks and gold bugs than any other chart or meme.

I think this is what you're looking for:

As for converting TradFi bros and gold bugs, unless they're intellectually honest, I don't have high hopes of them being converted by a chart clearly showing them how they're actually losing.

You can just using trading view and divide them

Diversification is for people who don't know what will win, Warren Buffet paraphrased.

I know bitcoin will win.

I don't know that #Bitcoin will for sure win. All I know is that fiat currencies will continue to lose value and stonks, as shown here, are not "going up".

This leaves me with #Bitcoin as having the best chance to succeed, given its track record. I'm ready to go down with the ship.

Is the top line adjusted for inflation?

As a store of value, Au seems to have worked well.

Define inflation

Not trying to argue, trying to compare apples to apples. I think whatever definition you're using should work for me!

Not saying you are, but it's important to define what you mean by inflation.

As far as I can tell, the top line shows nominal returns, while the bottom line measures those nominal returns in gold.
