 My personal CAGR on bitcoin over the last 10 years is 83.33%. 

$1 invested is $428.88 now

The SP500 was 11.88%

$1 invested is $2.75 now 

Yet for some reason I spent a decade listening to the people who turned $1 into $2.75 tell me I was dumb/wrong 

L O fucking L 
 Men lie, women lie. Numbers don’t. 
 It's $3.07 for the s&p 
 the conditioning to value the opinion of those in perceived positions of authority over our own runs deep in the world we’ve grown up in. 

Here’s to empowering future generations fully and whole heartedly 
 If you wear a tie around your neck, you are a clever boy. 
 Serves you right. 
 Let it go bro lol focus on winners . I struggle with this too but it’s wasted energy 
 Honestly I just think it’s funny these days 
 That’s the best way to address it. Laugh at it 
 Most even underperformed that. Think about the bond portfolios these 60/40 boomers are carrying around. 
 Conviction beats opinion…again! Way to go 👑 
 In the words of Jay-Z:

Bring back the Concorde, numbers don’t lie check the scoreboard 😂 
 Yeah don’t let it bother you. Someone told me they were up 20% with their pension plan since 2017 and have told me I’m mad. I don’t bother arguing ( listen to them as they laugh at btc as i’m crazy % up in fiat terms. The thing is they wouldn’t get the sats Stack thing 🤷‍♂️ ) 
 Gains like that are incomprehensible to the human brain. It's like trying to fathom how much a trillion of something is, people can't really grasp it. 
 I will be a happy man if we can continue to achieve even half that CAGR over the next decade.  
 I think you've outperformed the most successful hedge fund of all time by a wide margin (Medallion Fund) 
 Jim did it for longer though 
 Impressive, both the return and that you are hodling since a decade. 💪🏻
