According to PANews, a study by NFT Evening reveals that Bitcoin's surge past the $100,000 mark has resulted in the emergence of 14,211 new millionaires and four new billionaires. The report highlights that Bitcoin investors achieve millionaire status 22 times faster than those investing in traditional stocks, underscoring Bitcoin's formidable wealth-generating potential.
The study compares the returns of a $4,000 investment in Bitcoin and traditional company stocks made in 2010. After approximately 3,775 days, or 10.3 years, Bitcoin investors reached the $1 million milestone. In contrast, investors who placed the same amount in blue-chip stocks saw their portfolios grow to only $45,000.
Furthermore, the research indicates that investors who put $30,500 into Bitcoin in early 2011 became billionaires after about 4,645 days, or 12.7 years, achieving a 32,787-fold return on investment. In comparison, those who invested the same amount in blue-chip stocks during the same period saw their portfolios grow to just $950,000. This means that while Bitcoin investors reached billionaire status, stock investors were only reaching the $1 million milestone.
