A heartbreaking fact!!! If you had invested 10,000 RMB in Bitcoin $BTC ten years ago, you might be very surprised by the current situation. Let's compare some hypotheticals to see what different investment options might bring:
Bitcoin investment: If you had bought Bitcoin with 10,000 RMB ten years ago, your investment might have grown to a considerable amount based on Bitcoin's historical price trend. Of course, the specific amount here will vary depending on the price at the time of purchase and subsequent price fluctuations, but it is certain that Bitcoin, as a high-risk, high-return investment, has brought huge returns to early investors in the past decade.
Real estate investment: If you chose to buy a property in a big city with a mortgage of 700,000 RMB, the value of this property might have grown to around 5.2 million RMB based on the growth of the real estate market.
Stock investment:
Moutai stock: If you invested 700,000 RMB in Moutai stock, this part of the investment might be worth about 10 million RMB now. Tencent stock: If you invested RMB 700,000 in Tencent stock nineteen years ago, around 2005, then this investment might be worth about RMB 200 million now.
Bank deposits: If you choose to deposit RMB 700,000 in a bank, then taking into account inflation and the bank's deposit interest rate, it might only be about RMB 780,000 now. In fact, your purchasing power has actually decreased due to inflation.
From these comparisons, we can see that different investment choices can lead to very different results. Investing in assets with great growth potential, such as real estate, stocks or cryptocurrencies, usually leads to asset appreciation. While depositing funds in a bank is safe, it may not keep up with the pace of inflation, resulting in a decrease in actual purchasing power.
