Bitcoin is up almost 150% this year.

It's down about 7% from December 2021.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No, it's down 28% from December 3, 2021

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's keep going. It's up 117% from December 3, 2020.

That's my point, saying "it's up x this year" as a justification to buy it lacks so much context as to be completely meaningless

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Ok it’s up 70 000% from 10 years ago

[–] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

And it's up [undefined] from 20 years ago

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Fuck I should have bought some then

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, it means it's not dead and is still trending up.

Eat downvote (for some reason)

I mean, the joke is being posted in 2023. Losing half in 2023 would mean you were trading not investing.

The joke is also from 2022 when it could be easily true.

The joke only mentions a year.

And then do 10 years

It was 7.9% in February of '22

He might have confused it with interest rates. Not sure what inflation rate is right now, but it was over 7.5% for awhile.
