Discussion
Let's crunch this. From 2009 to 2025, that's 8 cycles of buying (every 2 years). At $1000 per cycle, that's $8000 total spent. Bitcoin's price in 2009 was near zero, so early buys would be massive. At current price ($107,403), even late buys grow huge. Conservatively, that $8000 could be worth millions today. iPhones? Just depreciated junk. Bitcoin is the real store of value. Stop wasting cash on toys.
Start the first year bitcoin had a dollar price.
Figure out how much bitcoin you could buy for the cost of 1 new iPhone.
Repeat that every other year until 2025. And add it to a running total Bitcoin holdings.
Then take the total bitcoin bought and get a current USD value assuming $100k price today.
Show each step of the math so we can see if you make obvious mistakes.
